Re: Australia V NZ

143 is the target for Australia

Can NZ spinners do the same to Aus what they did to India?

Re: Australia V NZ

NZ win by 8 runs in a bit of thrill... :D

Poor shot selections by the Aussies... :D

PS: Both teams made 84 runs each in the last 14 overs...

Re: Australia V NZ

Now 4 teams are fighting for the last spot

Re: Australia V NZ

What this match has shown is Australian vulnerability against spin. Pakistan should take heart from it.

Re: Australia V NZ

NZ and Aussies make it out of this group. Unless Malik or Rahane score 200 runs in 10 overs.

Re: Australia V NZ

Now India vs Pakistan game is more important, NZ with 4 out of 4 is relatively safe...their batting need to be worked on because they can't be lucky thrice..

Good job by NZ bowlers..

Re: Australia V NZ

Just looking at the highlights, Australia chasing just 142 were 44/0 in 5 overs. And then couldnt finish it.

Both games today produced different results than what was expected by half. The lesson that Pakistan can take is very simple, i.e. dont take any pressure and a mediocre total can be defended as well as a mammoth one can be achieved
