Head to Head: Of the 78 matches played between the two teams, Pakistan has won 47 and NZ 29 (1 tied, 1 N.R.)
Recent Form: (Most recent first) Last 5 ODIs - Pakistan LWWWW New Zealand WWLLL
Match Preview: Pakistan have always done well against NZ in semi-finals of ICC tournaments be it World Cup, T20 or CT. Let’s hope the trend continues inshallah. Pakistan’s batting is shaky and they are playing on a seaming track so I w’d play atleast 7 batsmen incl. Kamran Akmal and Afridi, three pacers and Ajmal
It will be unfair to drop Rana esp. after his superb death bowling today. Yes Uncle can be very expensive at times but his inswinging yorkers at the death remind me of Waqar. Aamer should come in because he gives variety to the pace attack being a left hander. So one of the two Asif or Gul I believe will miss out
From cricinfo:
"Splendid effort from Pakistan, too, who fought superbly to make a match out of this. Asif was superb in his second spell, and Naved lethal, bowling it in the blockhole with consistency; the ball to get rid of Hussey was a peach."

Your team seems to be more balances, yes we have to drop gul or asif, but that just shows the depth of Pakistan pace attack ( which is not dependent on one person ( unlike other teams)
Main abhee soch hee raha tha kay yeh thread kholoon, but then I second guessed myself that it is too early...
Aaj Kahan they aap GA ?
I was here AA during Pakistan's innings but missed Australia's innings because of work. Splendid effort by the bowlers today despite defending a below par 205

Rana must be kept this time...
Gul and Asif are in the same boat...so we can toss... :)
