Group B - 9th Match Netherslands v Pakistan

[Ollie_H]

Very smart organisation of England. South Africa vs Scotland will be played at the same stadium as England vs Pakistan. If one match gets ruined by rain, there is a chance the other one will be too.

When they organized the matches I don't suppose they knew it was going to rain today did they? OMGSPOTEHOBVIOUS!!!

It shouldn't rain in London today anywho. The rains passed the matches. Plus this is a great way to have the games as it gets bigger crowds in and costs less to host, thus better attendance and less to set-up.

 

[Aoun13]

If it will be rain today,still it favors Pakistan.Look their opening has some fast playing batsmen and could it be a nightmare for England

If today match called off then Holland are definately in Super 8 but then Pakistan have to win against Ireland to go to super 8 or else they will be out. So then it will be Pak or Eng to out in 1st round. We very less see these kind of occasions.

If it is rained off (which it shouldn't be), Holland would have to beat Pakistan to get England through.

 

[Gurjot95]

Then England have to depend on Holland to qualify for Super 8

Eng will definately play more aggresively here,they are playing at home,but Pak have good seamers like Gul,Tanvir it will be intersting match,if Eng loose here they are gone out of competetion...

If we win today, it all goes down to Pakistan v Holland. Anything but a last ball defeat for the Dutch woud send England and Pakistan through.

 

[Aoun13]

England and Pakistan both Knows the importance of this game,I think it would be a excellent match and may can go to Super over.

Eng will definitely play hard today,they are missing Flintoff here,KP or Collingwood, Bopara are the key batsman for todays match,they should try to get to min 170-180

 

[Aoun13]

Well looking at the pitch may be 400 run match can be possible.

 

[Gurjot95]

This match is do or die for England but not for Pakistan. Pakistan are good at chasing so England have to set big total if they bat first.

 

[Aoun13]

Most important for Pakistan is that if they win this match handsomely,they can regain their position in the eyes of their fans.

I don't understand why Pakistan don't open with Afridi. If he fails or not it's not like the other openers are doing all thaat. With the field up if Afridi clicks he would be so dangerous even for a few overs, instead of him coming when the field is spread and he get's out pretty quick.

Just don't understand it.
