🏏 World Cup: Match #35: New Zealand vs Pakistan 🏏DT Note: 67 - Page 69

Williamson: Obviously a nice first half. Weather played its part but can't take away from Pakistan. Zaman - the ground wasn't big enough for him. They played exceptionally well and gave themselves every chance. Match getting shortened brings both teams closer together. Would've been nice to have the full 50. Was tricky to protect the shorter side. Full credit, they deserved the result today. I thought the contributions throughout were great. Clearly a very good surface. Can be tough on the bowlers sometimes. Rachin is batting absolutely beautifully. There's always small margins with the ball. If you get a wicket or two, you can take the short side out of it with the left-right combo. But we couldn't do that.

PAK won by 21 runs (DLS method)

My city’s weather was in Pakistan’s favour!

I think attributing this win to only weather will be wrong and injustice to Pakistan

They really played too well

NZ's NRR is still higher no?

bowling option. Aapney to inko ballers banaaaa deeya from bowlers 🤣🤣🤣.

Aur I still maintain. For rain curtailed match (or if it was not even) - NZ displayed Poor captaincy - Pak might have still won but NZ didn’t help themselves any … at the same time Pak played keeping DLS in mind as well. So deserved win for Pak and deserved loss for NZ today despite 401 by NZ on the board. A lot of lessons to learn for NZ.

Khush reh pak is almost out

Babar: When we came to the dressing room, just passed message we need good partnerships. Said to Fakhar if he plays 15 overs we'll be ahead. Back of the mind we knew rain was coming. Full credit to Fakhar. We knew there was a short boundary and utilised it. We're just trying to give 100 percent. You never know. We're just going match by match.

KL Rahul has been appointed as the Vice-Captain of Indian team in World Cup. [The Indian Express]

Yeh beech tournament mein kyu banaya hain pata nahi

Hope Rohit isn't getting any rest in between

Hardik is ruled out of WC 2023, that's why KL Rahul is the VC now.
