So, Australia has given a target of 389 to New Zealand. At one stage, Austalia was under pressure, and they were looking at a target somewhere between 350- 360, but some lusty blows for Pat Cummins increased the target toward 390. Trent Boult pulled back things a bit at the end by taking three wickets in the penultimate over. It will be a difficult target to chase by looking at the Australian blowing attack, but New Zealand betters have the ability to chase down this total. I think it will be a thriller; let's see how New Zealand will approach this target.

In the second match today, Netherlands won the toss and elected to bat first. The pitch is batting-friendly, and it will be a high-scoring match, as per prediction. Bangladesh got early breakthroughs in the 2nd and 3rd overs. Bangladesh is the favourite to win this match.

Australia were able to score 388 runs just because Warner and Travis Head gave a good start scoring 81 and 109. The team had an opening partnership of 175 runs. In the first 10 overs Australia scored 118 runs, and those runs from the powerplay helped reach good target. Further the scoring isn't that good and Australia maintained the 6rpo average. However it was predicted for 400+ runs. In between Glenn Phillips gave good break taking the wickets of Warner, Travis and Smith which slowed down the scoring. At the middle order Maxwell, Inglis, and Cummins contributed good. Lets see if New Zealand can chase the target.

Australia lost the toss and were bowled out for 388 against New Zealand at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala. The Australian team's batsmen should not feel bad as they played very well and Pahar gave New Zealand a target of equal runs. Now the Australian bowlers should bowl well and get New Zealand all out before 388 runs. Then they can win this match. Australia has given a target of 389. If we have seen the previous games of New Zealand, we will definitely understand that if New Zealand plays well, then they can beat this run and win. Now let's finally see how many runs New Zealand can score.

what a comeback for travis head after the injury as he smacks a century off just 58 balls. Such a mind boggling stuff he scored 109 runs just 67 balls. A big total for Australia 388 in loss of 10 wickets in 50 Overs. Australia run-rate: 7.5 in this match against NewZealand and Phillips' economy rate: 3.7  Picked up the 3 wickets of Warner, Head, Smith and led the NewZealand comeback. Phillips is just a part time bowlers. If Australia wins today against New Zealand, it will benefit Pakistan. If Australia beat NewZealand with a bigger margin even better. In my opinion Australia will defend 389 runs and win this match by huge margin

The world cup campaign for Pakistan is almost over, they have lost 4 consecutive games and its very unlikely that they win all of there remaining matches. My prediction is that India, NZ, Australia and South Africa will play the semi finals.
Australia are in well control of today's match. They have 389 runs to defend and its very unlikely that NZ will be able to chase such a big target. Devon Conway is already eliminated by Hazlewood.  NZ at the moment need 326 runs from 41 overs.

You are right in saying that Australia has been able to set a big run target.  But I think that the New Zealand team has the ability to surpass this target.  If we compare with current run rate and record runrate both are above seven.  There is not much difference between the required runrate and the current runrate. If I say my personal opinion New Zealand team is performing better than Australia in this world cup anyway both teams are strong team still why I think New Zealand can win today even though they lost one wicket already.

[Unknown Op]

Exciting and Thrilling match Australia team against New Zealand of ICC Men WC 2023 has been playing in the crease. Greatest comeback of Australia team in this tournament after losing 2 matches with high score. Previously, their team also successfully managed 399 score against Netherlands and also they won this match by huge difference of scores. Again thrilling performance shown by Australia team in today match. Their team made 388 score defending target to New Zealand team. David Warner always show tremendous performance in all previous matches and in this match Travis Head also showed great performance because he scores 109 score off 67 balls. At present, New Zealand team batting has been started in the crease and they had played 17 overs and make 120 score and also they lost main batters Devon Conway and Will Young. New Zealand need 266 scores in 32 overs currently. We do not underestimate the struggle of New Zealand team and still have equal chance for getting victory.

Exactly this is a big target just near to 400 runs. In the Last match with Netherlands we saw the Australian team they gave the target of 400 runs to Netherlands and Netherlands team all out on 90 runs here again 389 runs target is a huge target. And now New Zealand made 153 runs in 22 overs. And lost 2 wickets. Current Run Rate is 7.06 and the  Required Run Rate is 8.32. If New Zealand hold the wickets so they can chase the target.
The current partnership is going well that is 82 runs partnership. And if the will stand on pitch till end so New Zealand can chase the target.

[Mahdirakib]

Pakistan vs South Africa turned out to be one of the most entertaining matches that I have seen so far. Afridi was incredible while Mohammad Wasim Jr bowled really well despite having cramps.

Indeed, this is the first match in this world cup which was very much competitive. South Africa managed to win it finally. Pakistan was unlucky as some decisions went against them at the final stage. The LBW out wasn't given for umpires call. And the umpires have declared a delivery as wide while the ball touched the pad of Tabraiz Shamsi. Pakistani bowlers did well in the last few overs of the match.

The New Zealand team has been performing well since the beginning of this World Cup. Both bowling and batting of New Zealand team are showing very good performance. I think the turning point of today's match is the brilliant 175 runs scored by Australia in the opening. Which played a very important role in making Australia's target of 388 runs. Due to which the New Zealand bowlers came under pressure and the players of the Australian team started playing openly .

The New Zealand team has scored 169 runs in 23 overs and two of its players have been dismissed. The current score and run rate is not bad but the target of 388 runs is not a trivial target and the pressure is likely to be on every team at all times. The only chance to achieve this target is to keep wickets, because at any given moment a couple of wickets fall suddenly, the steps of a strong batting line can be shaken.

Indeed, this is the first match in this world cup which was very much competitive. South Africa managed to win it finally. Pakistan was unlucky as some decisions went against them at the final stage. The LBW out wasn't given for umpires call. And the umpires have declared a delivery as wide while the ball touched the pad of Tabraiz Shamsi. Pakistani bowlers did well in the last few overs of the match.

Pakistan were a bit unlucky in the end to lose the match with just 1 wicket. Credit goes to Pakistan bowling who picked up 9 wickets while defending a small target of 271 runs. The last over which Nawaz bowled should be given to Usama Mir who was bowling more confidentially then Nawaz. Pakistan bad luck was that all pacers had bowled there 10 overs till 47th overs. Its a good game and it says a lot about potential Pakistan team has despite being knocked out of tournament.

The 28th match of the World Cup is Netherlands vs Bangladesh. Bangladesh played 5 matches till now and won 1 match. Bangladesh won the first match, could not win the next matches due to poor performance. Fans supporting Bangladesh are disappointed with the current performance of Bangladesh. Bangladesh's chances of playing the semifinals are almost over. On the other side is Netherlands, despite being a small team, Netherlands are still trying hard to play well. Netherlands beat a strong team like South Africa. Netherlands' dreams of reaching the semi-finals are over. Bangladesh is at number 8 in the points table and Netherlands is at number 10 in the points table.

Netherlands won the toss and elected to bat. In today's match, Netherlands were under a lot of pressure due to the loss of wickets at the beginning, due to which they could not score more runs. The Netherlands' batting looked like they could do 250 plus. But the Netherlands scored 229 runs in the stipulated 50 overs and were all out. Compared to other matches, Bangladesh's bowling line has improved a bit today. Had the Netherlands managed to target 260 plus runs, we would have seen a competitive match. Because the batting line of Bangladesh is very bad. Bangladesh will win easily today.

It's a good game and it says a lot about the potential the Pakistan team has despite being knocked out of the tournament. 

It was. a very competitive game between them and both did their best to win the match but unfortunately, Pakistan lost and fortunately, South Africa won. It's also very sad for us that our team was disqualified and got out of the tournament. In the whole tournament, I saw every match and I was not surprised by and performance of Pakistan in the matches but in the last match enjoyed the most and I loved their performance. They set a small target but they were passed To some extent in defending their target the last over was not good-looking at the end just one wicket remaining and if they succeeded in that they would not be disqualified but it is impossible for Pakistan to remain in the tournament because they need to win all the remaining matches and this is very difficult.

Because the batting line of Bangladesh is very bad. Bangladesh will win easily today.

Netherlands won the toss and batted first at Kolkata's Eden Gardens. The Tiger pacers took 3 wickets in the beginning in the bowling that was on fire. Bangladesh bowled out the Netherlands for 229 runs as the Dutch batsmen could not stand up to the Bangladesh bowling. Edwards and Barresi two players have done great batting and based on the batting of both of them, Netherlands have managed to collect 229 runs. Edwards has scored 68 runs from 89 balls and Barresi has scored 41 runs from these 41 balls. Bangladesh will have to watch and watch their batting in the beginning so that the partnership is done well and in the beginning they have to focus so that the wicket does not fall. Because if Bangladesh's wicket falls once, then consecutive wickets are lost. So the batsmen of Bangladesh should watch and bat carefully. I will certainly hope that the Bangladesh team plays very well in today's match and hope that the Bangladesh team will win the match.

I'd say Netherlands have managed to set a target of 230 runs which is a good enough collection for them. I thought I would lose all the wickets before scoring 200 runs. But Netherlands managed to bat the full 50 overs. Although their run rate was low, it was still a good enough collection to fight against a team like Bangladesh.

The performance of Bangladesh's batting order is very erratic. This pitch of Eden Garden can be called batting friendly. However, since Bangladeshi batsmen's performance is completely erratic, I would say Netherlands have a chance to win if they manage to bowl controlled from the beginning of the innings. But if Bangladesh top order can play well today then they will win.

what a comeback for travis head after the injury as he smacks a century off just 58 balls. Such a mind boggling stuff he scored 109 runs just 67 balls. A big total for Australia 388 in loss of 10 wickets in 50 Overs. Australia run-rate: 7.5 in this match against NewZealand and Phillips' economy rate: 3.7  Picked up the 3 wickets of Warner, Head, Smith and led the NewZealand comeback. Phillips is just a part time bowlers. If Australia wins today against New Zealand, it will benefit Pakistan. If Australia beat NewZealand with a bigger margin even better. In my opinion Australia will defend 389 runs and win this match by huge margin

In the first innings, we thought that Australia would win the match easily but Rachin Ravindra , Daryl Mitchell  and David Warner proved them wrong by hitting a century and half-century but right now the match is very intense and the match comes into pressure, the both teams are under pressure but the ore winning chances is Australia because the main batsman of New Zealand were out and now bowlers are on strike. New Zealand needs 32 scores in 2 overs, which means 12 balls. The match is very intense, now let’s see what happens which team will win after the next two overs.

Watched the entire match without missing a single ball. While Australia was batting the scoring pattern made me continue watching. Looking upon the target it looked like an easy win for Australia. However Australia managed to win the match by a small margin of 5 runs, and New Zealand is really good in reaching close to the target. Amidst the early loss of Devon Conway and Young the team managed to keep its scoring undisturbed. Rachin Ravindra contributed with a century scoring 116 runs and took the team towards win, going for an unwanted shot when he's a must to chase the target lowered the winning chance of New Zealand. Further Neesham with his tremendous performance scored 58 runs and made the team reach 383 runs by the end of 50 overs. Much thrilled at the end same as what happened with South Africa vs Pakistan match.

[jasonjm]

We have watched two back-to-back thrillers. Earlier, it was Pakistan vs South Africa, and now it is Australia vs New Zealand. Some efforts from New Zealand batters; only if their middle order stepped up and supported Ravindra, we might have seen the highest chase in World Cup history. Neesham played exceptionally well but was unlucky at the end. That thigh-high full toss was a big miss.
A thrilling finish to an almost perfect run chase. Hopefully, we will have some more thrillers in the upcoming matches.
The Netherlands are bowling at very good line and length, not giving any room to the batsmen. I am expecting a thriller between Bangladesh and the Netherlands as well.

[ZAINmalik75]

The world cup campaign for Pakistan is almost over, they have lost 4 consecutive games and its very unlikely that they win all of there remaining matches. My prediction is that India, NZ, Australia and South Africa will play the semi finals.

Most of Paksitani fan believe that paksitan journey for this world cup is almost over but this victory of Australia make things little bit change and make a narrow chance of Paksitani team to survive little more because NewZeland already lose this match and expected to be lose against paksitan and may be against South Africa so if it happen then by net run rate paksitan can get a chance for semifinals if they won thier next 3 game with a decent margin so hope they will done same as we expect.

Australia are in well control of today's match. They have 389 runs to defend and its very unlikely that NZ will be able to chase such a big target. Devon Conway is already eliminated by Hazlewood.  NZ at the moment need 326 runs from 41 overs.   

NewZeland try hard thier luck and almost be victorious but in last overs they lose momentum and not only chance to get 2 point but lose an opportunity to make a record run chase in world cup history, I were in favour of Australia from start because I know how potential thier are and how best they perform in ICC event, so congratulations Australia on such a nail bitting Hight voltage victory

NZ did an amazing run chase before losing the match by just 5 runs. I think game went more in Australia favor when they got wicket of Ravindra. Still the tail did there best to chase the target.
Netherlands are looking to get there second win in this world cup, Bangladesh so far have lost 5 wickets including key wicket of Shakib. Netherlands have not much runs to defend but still there bowlers have done a good job.
