New Zealand v Pakistan - March 8, 2011

New Zealand +140

Pakistan have been playing some tremendous cricket in the past weeks and even though their batting was on the edge once, their bowling is spectacular and this wicket should play to their advantages nicely.

New Zealand have been playing well so far, but they have not been tested yet and this will be a tough reality check. Furthermore, they have been playing poorly against Pakistan in the series they had before this tournament and there is not much that has changed since then. Certainly, nothing has changed in the favor of New Zealand.

Meanwhile, the Pakistani team has got into a good and solid form, so I can definitely see them continuing with that here. They will surely be able to restrict New Zealand to a good total and their batting should be good enough to see them through in the end.

The odds are not great, but I think the chances of Pakistan winning at these odds considering everything regarding this game are even with the Kiwis, so I am happy to back NZ at +140. New Zealand are simply worth a shot in every aspect.

Good luck.

Depends whho bat 1st.

Is Dew a factor here?

He didn`t rattle your cage Rostos,so be nice to those who are putting their thoughts forward and not be doggy`bout it...Especially when they are polite..
Nice write up and user name ARUKIDNME.....
Will tail for the sake of it..Plus I like the dew......

Loves a good dew story does the Rostos

I dont get the live odds in this match at all..

Ross Taylor might be the first player in history to get out 87 times in a game and still be there at the end

Ross Taylor struggling mightily

Rostos this is a very tough wicket

220 is going to be a good score and defendable IMO

Rod whats a good score on this wicket.. ? 250? very tough wicket is it?

I'd say 240 is par. Lot of mistimed shots played so far, shows there isn't much pace in the wicket. Also watching the pitch report it was very dry so it will slow down as the night goes on

Just a question on whether Kiwis have the bowlers to exploit it

Kiwis really need Taylor to make a massive score really. He has been out of soughts for the last year! There are very dangerous team if he is there around the power play.. I doubt he will last that long though..

Kiwi bowlers.. pretty weak will need a fair total i reckon 250-280 at least...

NZ now favs in live betting

Kiwi Collapse coming.

Hey guys anyone got a live stream for me? cheers

LOL like i said weak ass team

I must admit, the Paki seamers were getting alot of movement early.

I dont trust Paki chasng either

The Panthers just called Ross Taylor and asked if he is available to play for the them.

His luck profile fits there team

Ross Taylor only averages 35 for a reason.

I could look like Bradman in that team.

whats the line now in live betting?

Styris must be in this as well..

 

What a pathetic fucking over from him

Wow that was the poorest shot by styris . Gul should of been belted for so many shots there.. What is the go with the power play .. Brings batters undone play the same strategy for fuk sake!

225 is an absolute minimum they should be looking for. 240 would make a NZ back at the break a delicious prospect

Nathan McSlogger has actually been in good form over the past few months with the bat
