*Official * Pakistan vs New Zealand 2023

[Moss]

The Plunkett Shield must be a very weak tournament.

As a basis for selecting T20 sides, probably.

Pakistan have the making of a good side if babar and rizwan continue to perform. There bowling looks better then it did at the last 2 WC's with inshullah over naseem/hasan and a fully fit shaheen.

Would another 50 here be enough to secure bowes a spot in NZ's full strength 11 over allen?

Only thing that looks secure for Bowes at the moment is an economy flight home.

video clip?

I was looking for one with the replays which shows the action better but this is the best I can find.

I mean making the finals twice in a row would generally suggest a good side anyway

chapmans been all class this whole series

They where fantastic in the last two tournaments no doubt, there in a tier below england with NZ for me. Just think this current side has the potential to be even better. Iftikhar in current form is better then any middle order bat they had across those two tournaments and the bowling looks more complete with plenty of options.

Semi-final and final. So yeah, at NZ’s level you’d think?

 

[trundler]

I'd place them in between England and NZ based on the fact that they're competitive with England and have won their last ~3 full strength match ups against NZ. Plus no Boult weakens NZ significantly.

 

[Nintendo]

Just a casual reverse pull shot to bring up the 50 from chapman.

 

[Moss]

Great booster for Chapman’s CV, this series. Been switched on since game 1.

 

[thundaboult]

he's seeing it like a football is chap

this should be fun

 

[thundaboult]

my god what a ramp! oh this is going to be juicy

 

[Nintendo]

This has to be up there with the ATG batting efforts in a bilateral t20I series doesn't it? Batting 5 against the best bowling lineup in the world in a side where noene else has even made half the runs he has.

New Zealand heading towards a historic win here

 

[trundler]

Chapman is playing superbly

 

[ashley bach]

This Chap is just amazing man.

 

[trundler]

This is certainly very doable now. Expect those chances to be taken. Disappointing.

 

[thundaboult]

never count neesh out in pressure moments

 

[Moss]

Pretty cool comeback, though would still be asking a lot of Ravindra and the rest if a wicket were to fall.
