Group B - 9th Match Netherslands v Pakistan

[irottev]

Ikinda hope this is washed out, then the Netherlands make it. I'd rather see Pakistan taken down properly though.

Here's a question. I'd been seeing quite a lot of news on cricinfo about Afghanistan winning associate games. How come they don't have a T20 side in this?

Afghanistan didn't play in the qualifiers. Kenya, Holland, Ireland, Scotland, Canada and Bermuda played a qualifying tournament for this in Ireland in 2008.

We don't deserve to go through, but if we do, it will be quite amazing IMO.

Pakistan need to win by 26 runs or win in 17 overs to qualify, so its possible, but looking at our team, and the crap we put out there, its probably not very likely.

I agree Asad bhai. After the fielding in the outfield aswell as the woeful batting display, we do not deserve to go into the Super Eights.

With it being at Lord's does not help either as Pakistani batting atm against swing is on the rocks. However, I sense that the Pakistani unpredictibility may come back in their favour as when under pressure I think that Pakistan may pull it off.

Watch Pakistan scrape through this by the narrowest of margins then go on to win the whole damn thing.

I would be the happiest person on earth if that were to happen.

 

[Insomniac]

It's not going to happen though

I think the margin is more than 25.
I believe it is 50 runs.

 

[Howsie]

As good as Holland was the other day against England I feel as though Pakistan will demolish them. Pakistan?s bowling will be way too good for them I feel, but I do hope they somehow get through.

Nope, it's 25. I posted the calculations a couple of pages ago. And while chasing, it ranges from 16-17 overs depending on how much Netherlands score.

 

[piriyanth]

I don't see Netherland winning against Pakistan tbh.

 

[karnog]

To be frank Nannes is the key for the Dutch. I think the Pakistanies will find it hard going against him especially when on song. In terms of batting maybe their captain can pull a Gayle...

 

[Skater]

The game could be decided at the toss. If Holland win the toss, surely regardless of the conditions they will bowl first. Then when they bat all they have to do is block out more than 16 overs. And they're through. Is that right?

 

[Sartaj]

will be great to see holland advance to the next stage but unfortunately,nannes doen't have the aussies to bowl at and prove a point.

I am supporting Pakistan today.... For a change! Come on brothers, DO IT!
