If both Pak and NZ end on 10 points and NZ sneaking in due to NRR , then Pak should consider themselves extremely unlucky to miss out.

And lucky to make to finals as well, because of the rain semis was pushed on the reserv day and they got better bowling conditions.

People only remember that New Zealand were unlucky in a couple of big moments in the 2019 final. They forget that NZ were actually lucky throughout the tournament beforehand. Their game against India in the group stage got called off while Pakistan saw their game against a poor Sri Lanka side waterlogged. Pakistan beat England and NZ while NZ won all three 50/50 games. They then got very favourable conditions in both the semi final and final. A good side, but they rode their luck in 2019.

It's at the Chinnaswamy where their bowlers will really struggle I think. It's a shame that the other key game (Aus vs Afg) is on a flat deck at the Wankhede too which will favour Australia hugely. If that had been at Chennai it'd have been really interesting.

We beat Afghanistan they are a decent team, our only other wins were against minnows in England, Bangladesh and the Netherlands so not great.

We should beat Sri Lanka as well providing that Latham doesn't choose to bowl first.

Latham needs to be dropped

England certainly are minnows at this world cup! I expect you'll beat Sri Lanka. The Kiwis are pretty safe against poor opposition.

Nah you are coping because NZ actually won the 2019 final.
