After winning the toss and choosing to field first, Pakistan's bowling attack hasn't justified the decision of their captain. The line and length of the bowlers are absolutely pathetic. I think the Pakistan captain has miscalculated the pitch condition. Anything over 350 will be difficult to chase on any surface, and Pakistan are known for their poor chasing history.
After 30 overs, NZ are 211/1, and with 9 wickets in hand, they will be targeting a total of 380+. The chances of Pakistan qualifying for this World Cup semi-final are almost over.

Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson are doing well and have a great partnership. Still on the pitch and if they remain on pitch so they can go above 350 runs and if they will make 380 runs target or near to it so it will be difficult to chase by Pakistan. If Pakistan want to win so need to restrict unders 300 which is looking impossible.

By the way according to the current situation 245/1 in 34 overs. And Rachin Ravindra has made his century and Kane Williamson is just near to the century with 92 runs.

The situation is saying Pakistan will disqualify. And will never go to the Semifinal. By the way no one can say anything. Pakistan can also win if they will improve the batting line and I don't think so the 350 target is impossible yes it is difficult to chase but not impossible. And you have an example of SriLanka vs Pakistan match they chased the highest target in the world cup and make a world record.
By the way Kane Williamson now out on 95 runs. Let's see what's next?

Batting first in the Pakistan vs New Zealand match, the New Zealand team is doing an amazing batting performance, the audience is really amazed by their batting performance. Great improvement in New Zealand's batting performance which could be the reason for their win, Pakistan team is not able to bowl very well in today's match. New Zealand team collected 307 after 40 overs, I think New Zealand can collect more than 100 runs in remaining 10 overs. At the moment New Zealand have lost one wicket their total is 4 wickets at the moment Champman is at the crease and if he can't get him out then the number of runs can be 400 today. As long as Champman is on the field, the number of runs will surely increase so Pakistan team will have to improve their bowling performance today or New Zealand will collect many more runs. At the moment, New Zealand's accumulated runs are 320, 4 wickets from 42 overs.

NewZealand batting performance outstanding scored 401 runs in loss of 6 wickets in 50 Overs. NewZealand batting performance is top class especially Rachin Ravindra who scored 108 runs in just 94 balls and Grand Phillips amazing 41 runs in 25 balls hepled NewZealand to reached a big total of 401 runs. Iftikhar Ahmed gets the big wicket of Kane Williamson by scoring 95 runs Fakhar Zaman with a good running catch at long off.  Pakistan poor bowling performance except Muhammad waseem who picked 3 important wicktes by giving 60 runs only in 10 overs and ifthkar Ahmad picked 1 wickets only by giving 55 runs in 8 Overs.

This is brutal from the New Zealand batters. They have posted a mammoth 402-run target. That partnership of 180 runs between Williamson and Ravindra set the tone for a big total, and the middle order capitalized on the chance with both hands. All of the Pakistan bowlers looked ordinary except Waseem. The World Cup journey of Pakistan is almost over. Fakhar Zaman's stay at the crease is the only way Pakistan can get this total. Fakhar is the key wicket for NZ if they want to sum up this game in their favour quickly.

Yeh NewZeland played brilliantly they smashed each and every fast bowler and runied thier 4 pacer plan. Anyway this new young guy Ravindra is next level player I don't know he will continue his momentum but currently he is at full mark also spectacular performance from Williamson at his comback first match is defining his class and dedication for his national team as a captain he took charge with his partner because they know the importance of this match and then later by continuing the captain charge rest of player player aggressive and set a huge target which I think Pakistan will not able to chase but may be if Fakhar, Baber, Rizwan done something unexpected then may be they done something good

Bangalore M.  Pakistan captain Babar Azam won the toss of the ongoing World Cup at Chinnaswamy Stadium and decided to field. The New Zealand batsmen explained that his decision was wrong. Pakistan was given a target of 402 runs in the scheduled 50 over game. New Zealand's opening pair played very well. Ravindra batted brilliantly and scored a century against Pakistan. Ravindra became the first batsman from New Zealand to score his third century.  Batting on a target of 402 runs. Pakistan However, victory will not be easy for Pakistan. Pakistan team's current score is 67 runs for one wicket in nine overs. It remains to be seen how many runs Pakistan can score in the end.

[MusaPk]

Asking other team to bat first on a batting friendly wicket is a suicide and looks like Pakistan has done the same with themselves today. Anything close to 350 will not be easy to chase and New Zealand is looking to get there easily with the start they have. Rachin Ravindra is about to make his half century and Kane Williamson who has come after a long time in the team, is also looking in good form.

From Pakistan's point of view, they need wickets and a few of them quite early now, otherwise, New Zealand may seal the match if they are able to score runs freely throughout the innings as they are doing it right now.

New Zealand also knows the importance of this match as the win today will mean a sure shot position in the semi final, so they won't play anything loose today.

NZ have given a target of 403 runs and this is highest runs scored by NZ in ODI WC. I dont think there is much chance for Pakistan to win todays game other then batsmen improving there personal stats. Pakistan pace attack failed miserably not only in today's match but though out his tournament.  Muhammad Wasim proved to be most economical pacer for Pakistan in this tournament while Shaheen and Rauf are just a disaster for the team.

At the moment, New Zealand's accumulated runs are 320, 4 wickets from 42 overs.

In my opinion, this is impossible for Pakistan squad to defend this huge target today who New Zealand gives them. In this match, New Zealand performance was superb and they made good efforts in batting inning and gave them 401 scores target. In standings, New Zealand squad leading by the one match from Pakistan squad. New Zealand squad won four matches and Pakistan squad won three matches previously. Current time, Pakistan's batters Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam is batting in the crease. Their squad already lost one batter Abdullah Shafique at 4 scores. Pakistan squad made 75 scores off 11 overs which seems not good for Pakistan squad.

[Publictalk792]

New Zealand set a huge target for Pakistan team. This is looking a difficult to chase. Pakistan already lost a wicket. Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman are on the pitch if they will remain on pitch so we can hope that Pakistan can win otherwise there is no chance of winning. So let's who will win today match. Still have a hope that we will win the match.

[Nalain420]

This match is between Pakistan Women and Bangladesh Women. Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bowl first. Bangladesh Women dismissed Pakistan Women's first batsman in the end ball of the first over. Pakistan Women's batting scored 16 runs in four overs and conceded one wicket. Pakistan Women's batsmen scored 60 runs in 10 overs and conceded one wicket. Pakistan Women's team set a target of 127 runs in 20 overs and allowed wickets to be taken.The target was given by Pakistan Women to Bangladesh Women but Bangladesh Women could not complete the target due to which they lost this match.Bangladesh Women lost to Pakistan Women by 10 runs.

I appreciate Williamson captaincy. He brought Ravindra as an opener and what a game he played. Williamson itself played a very fine and fast inning. Almost all Newzealand players contributed in this high score. Waseem junior is the only pace bowler who succeeded to take wickets especially Ravindra who was looking in very dangerous after making century.

Pakistan started very well and first time I am enjoying their batting in this world cup. last time I enjoyed their defend against South Africa where bowlers done a great job but today Fakhar Zaman Is playing marvelous inining. The rain interpreted the game but hopefully it will start soon as this ground has super drainage systems. According to DLS Pakistan is 10 runs ahead and Pakistani players will be happy with that

[MusaPk]

Match between Pakistan and NZ has been stopped due to rain and its Pakistan who loving this rain. As per DLS, Pakistan is 10 runs ahead of par score and if there is no match due to rain then Pakistan will be winner. Its mainly due to blistering knock of Fakhar zaman 106(69) that Pakistan are in a position to win the game. Time is passing and we might even have game with less number of overs which is also what Pakistan must want at the moment.

[jasonjm]

In the match between Australia and England, the latter won the toss and chose to field first. Australian start was not very impressive, and they lost both of their openers inside the power play. Smith and Labuschagne's partnership stabilises the Australian batting lineup. After 40 overs, Australia is 220/5. The last powerplay is about to start, and they have set batters at the crease. Both the batsmen have the ability to take the game away from the opposition. England needs a tight death bowling to have a fighting chance in this match.
Cameron Green is out while I was writing this analysis. Not a good start to the last 10 overs.

[Publictalk792]

Fakhar Zaman scored Hundred from just 63 balls while chasing 402 runs against New Zealand. This will go down as one of the greatest knocks ever in World Cup history. Breathtaking attacking batting from Fakhar Zaman. The fastest ever hundred for Pakistan in ODI World Cups. And 5th fastest overall. What a knock. Phenomenal. Fakhar Zaman is the first Pakistan batter to hit 9 sixes in a World Cup match

What an excellent batting ny Fakhar Zaman. He made his century on 63 balls. He hit 9 sixes. And 7 fours. And that was a fast century. But unfortunately there is rain. And match delayed due to rain so now no one can say anything. But Fakhar Zaman was on fire at that time after stopping rain what will he do no one knows about that. So let's hope the rain will stop and Pakistan will win today match. Just waiting.

On the other hand. Australia made 227 runs in 42 overs and lost 6 wickets. And I think they will go approximately near 280 runs. And I think England will try to its best to win this match.

Fakhar Zaman 100 of 63 balls on his hitting mood is the best thing that happened to Pakistan so far in world cup. Extraordinary batting, and he's not letting Pakistan semi-final dreams fade away so easily. Babar Azam right now 47*(51) while chasing down 400+ for the first time in ODI in world cup history. If Rain not stopped and 10 overs are lost, Pakistan will need 175 further in 18.3 overs. If 20 overs are lost, Pakistan will need 92 further in 8.3 overs and If 25 overs are lost Pakistan will need 37 further in 3.3 overs.

[Out of mind]

Pakistan team is batting brilliantly from the beginning to meet the target of 402 runs today, compared to the other day's match, Pakistan batsmen's hit mood today. Fakhar Zaman's brilliant batting against New Zealand today was a truly impressive 106 off 69 balls. On the other hand, Babar Azam is in great form and the partnership of these two could have produced a good score if it had lasted this long. But unfortunately due to bad weather the Pakistan team is still outside the field and the match is postponed till the rain ends the match does not start. Having collected 160 runs in 21.3 overs with the loss of 1 wicket, they need just 242 runs to go. However, after the rain ends, maybe the overs will be reduced in the DL system, then it will be understood which team will have more chances to win.

[MusaPk]

Play between Pakistan and NZ has resumed and target has been reduced to 342 in 41 overs. Pakistan now need 182 runs in 19.3 overs with 9 wickets in hands. Rain has somewhat helped Pakistan as they now have to play fewer overs with 9 wickets in hands. The game is still on for both sides. From NZ perspective they need to get rid of Zaman as quickly as possible otherwise game may drift away from them.

[jasonjm]

In the match between Pakistan and New Zealand, after the rain pause, the revised target for Pakistan is 342 in 41 overs. Now Pakistan need another 182 runs in 19.3 overs to win this match. With only one wicket down, this is the ideal chance for Pakistan to chase this total down. From here on, it is a T20 game, and they have plenty of batting left.

In the other game, Australia bowled out at 286, an economical bowling performance from England in death overs. Australian Tail added valuable runs to their total after the sudden collapse. This is a chasable target for England, but looking at their form, one can not predict the outcome of this game at the moment.
