*Official* Women's World Cup 2022

Good decision to play the extra bat today I think. The NZ bowling is good enough to deal with SA without Jensen IMO.

Agree, and Jensen's bowling never really fills me with confidence anyway. She is one of our best fielders, though.

 

[ataraxia]

Yeah, Jensen felt unneeded in our side last game. Kerr/Kerr/Tahuhu/Rowe/Mackay, and Devine/Sattherwaite/Halliday are all pretty good bowlers anyway.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Maddy Green really needs to get going soon. Thankfully we are getting runs from Devine and wides.

 

[veganbob]

Hoping we can get to 260 + here.
I feel whoever wins today will almost surely make the semis.

 

[cnerd123]

that drop might prove costly

 

[cnerd123]

excellent piece of fielding and keeping there. Not so costly after all!

 

[ataraxia]

Was that the famed Trumper shot?

 

[TT Boy]

Shame about the middle overs as South Africa are legit upfront and at the death.

 

[veganbob]

NZ keep losing wickets everytime it starts to look good.

Not looking good here. 240 will be well under par on this pitch

 

[Flem274*]

damn i sit down and cause 2 wickets

 

[veganbob]

Devine aside- this a a poor batting lineup.
They dont seem to be able to put partnerships together and when they do - the run rate is too slow.

 

[Flem274*]

just bat the 50

 

[ataraxia]

Next-level commentators' curse there. Just starts to talk about how the fielding's been good when a horrible misfield takes place.

Curse rebounded on me though; while writing this the final catch was taken.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

What a terrible collapse. Thought they would get 270+. NZ will have to bowl really well against a solid SA batting lineup, or the semis might be gone.

There's a decent top order, but the middle-lower order are really just a bunch of number 8s-10s.

 

[anil1405]

The reality is, Melie Kerr (ever since her return from a mental health break), has made this batting unit look way better than what it looks like.

 

[StephenZA]

Silly run out...

 

[TT Boy]

That was unnecessary. Huge wicket.

 

[anil1405]

Lucky break through for white ferns.
