World Cup Day 28 New Zealand v Pakistan @ Edgbaston

[iBeng]

Solid game.

 

[iBeng]

Don't think even Pakistan could lose from here, doing it pretty comfortably now.

Sending thoughts and prayers your way.

Fantastic result as it puts England in even more danger of missing the SF, well done Babar and Pakistan.

 

[StFly]

Couldn't sleep, had this weird dream that Pakistan chased successfully.

Turns out this is the right timeline.

 

[happy punter]

Well done Pakistan!

If they beat Afghanistan they will leapfrog England before the poms play India on Sunday. As if the poms need any more pressure lol

 

[Hamingja]

I don't see NZ beating England. If England aren't going to make it we would need India to beat them and then one of Pakistan, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka to win out.

 

[happy punter]

I'm hoping India lose today against West Indies. I want them razor focused against England on Sunday!

 

[HBF]

Poms nust be getting very nervous now. How good is this.

 

[Kram]

Gee eddie seems quiet around here, NBN connection must be down or something. Watch for it to start working again if England somehow beat India though

 

[Shiv]

Awesome win by the pakis. They looked focused and the crowd support definitely helped. Pakistan now need to build upon this victory and take the confidence into the next game. No room for complacency but who *ing knows with Pakistan...

NZ aren't safe either.

 

[happy punter]

NZ aren't safe either.

Yep especially given who they have to play in the last 2 games.

From thinking the top 4 was sorted a week ago there are now many permutations. Love it.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Well played Pakistan, they could've been bowled out for 100 because it's Pakistan but they were never troubled. England would be crapping themselves now and we all know how that usually ends.

Now, watch Pakistan drop one of the Afghanistan and Bangladesh games.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

NZ aren't safe either.

Wouldn't it be nigh on impossible for them to miss given the NRR situations of each team ?

 

[Hamingja]

Sri Lanka could win all 3 and knock them out if NZ don't get another point. That would require England beating India as well as NZ. India would have to beat WI and Bangladesh. Unlikely but not impossible.

That can change quickly given NZs last 2 games are against England and India compared to Pakistan have Afghanistan and the Bangers, Pakistan would know they need to finish both those sides off quickly.

Well I didn't see this coming. Pakistan are, as usual, all over the shop. They have talent but very inconsistent. I thought NZ would roll them for sure.

Not that I'm upset! It didn't bother me, except to put more pressure on the poms if the Pakis won.

The poms can boo all they like. Maybe they'll boo their own players if they choke, again, again!!!!
