1st Semi Final | NZ vs Pak | Sydney, 09 Nov 2022

[straw man]

123/4 so guaranteed to lose a wicket next ball.

Santner to ding a few before sensibly ducking the last ball of the innings.

Edit: just evaded the wicket

 

[NZTailender]

Neesham looks so calm.

 

[Burgey]

Let's not make it 123-5 in this innings.

Nearly was

this is really good from my man Daryl Mitchell here

 

[straw man]

Pakistan been good at not bowling any straight-up pies.

 

[thundaboult]

why is he trying to keep it on the ground...2 overs left smash it ffs

 

[trundler]

They've bowled dry reasonably well but I really don't want anything over 155

 

[Skyliner]

Wasim Akram you POS, “Pakistan are in their element”….says it every couple of minutes.

 

[Athlai]

He was getting this 50 as soon as they showed his baby wearing a "Mitchell" Jersey.

 

[straw man]

Wag Mitchell

 

[trundler]

Fantastic knock. 32 ball 50 is the ideal T20 knock. Clutch too really

 

[Ashes81]

Decent score this from NZ on a worn pitch but it is very gettable.

It's a semi final - who will hold their nerve

Wasim Akram you POS, “Pakistan are in their element”….says it every couple of minutes.

Akram only reads the scoreboard and always tell he had a chat with bowler this morning.

 

[NZTailender]

This has been a pretty flawless bowling and fielding effort from Pakistan tbf

 

[Burgey]

I feel like this is a bit under par but still very competitive in the context of a KO game

 

[Athlai]

I feel like this is a bit under par but still very competitive in the context of a KO game

I reckon par is probably 160 though

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Hurricane clearly leading this one at the halfway stage.

 

[thundaboult]

Ehh. This is just not enough. We fell into our old habit of not trying to impose ourselves in another KO game. Yet another meek and scrap to something sorta effort.

 

[Daemon]

Decent total. Don't back Pakistan to chase this against the undisputed #1 T20I bowler in the world.

 

[trundler]

Anything more and Pak would've been out. Really need Babar to come off today

 

[Adorable Asshole]

NZ are favourites to win this.
