Story India's Journey To WCup,Special Edition-Johnnie Walker is back!

[aussie1st]

Doing the usual double your score at 30 overs to get the final score only 240 which Bangladesh could well chase.

 

[icyman]

I have a feeling that NZ might be bowled out for 223.
Unless any one sticks up,but 240 is pretty steep from here,even against the minnows [well i dont think we can call them that anymore]

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

This is definitely an intersting match .My sixth sense telling me NZ will Crush Bangla

Kiwis Entering Last 10 Overs!
( Oram taking singles & Styris dominates the bowling )​

With steady progress by Kiwis, both Styris & Oram developed a strategy among themselves. From the way both were batting, it was very clear that Styris had to accelerate the scorecard and Oram has to give strike to Styris. Both these batsmen executed this tactics very well.

Styris, who started off very patiently, started freeing his arms and attempted for some big shots. But still, Rafique & Saleh maintained a tight line! It was Styris who outsmarted the bowlers. Styris smashed a huge six off Saleh that brought back the entire Kiwis fans alive! NewZealand fans, who were silent, started cheering their team now.

Styris was able to get some useful boundaries but the rotation of strikes was done in excellent way. Whenever Oram got the strike, he never tried to free his arms.. but instead, he was trying to work out a single to give the strike back to Styris.

Ashraful, on seeing this approach attacked Oram more but the strategy remained unaffected. Also Bangla skipper brought back Aftab in Saleh's end. The approach was still the same. Rotation of Strikes, which is the key factor in ODIs, is being used very well by both these batsmen.

Well, 40 Overs ended. Important thing for Kiwis is that there was no wickets lost in last 10 Overs due to the watchful strategy followed by both Styris and Oram. But,for Kiwis, its time to accelerate more from both the batsmen as there are only ten more overs left. For Bangladesh, Ashraful wanted couple of quick wickets badly and should be looking to restrict Kiwis within 200.


NewZealand :- 173/4(40)
S.Styris : 48*(69)
J.Oram : 28*(45)

Last 10 Overs : 53 Runs.

Huge Blow : Styris Departs!
( Aftab Strikes for Bangladesh )​

With Styris going very well, Ashraful had a very widespread field for Styris. Rafique completed his 10 Overs spell and was impressive as usual. Aftab, who was operated in other end, striked for Bangladesh with the huge wicket of Styris.

Aftab bowled an straight delivery that Styris attempted to go over the top in offside. But he was completely decieved and missed the ball. The ball striked the stumps resulting in clean bowled. Styris can't believe that he missed the ball and was staring at the pitch for sometime.

Aftab was very much delighted and celebrated this moment with the entire team with huge joy. This was a huge blow for Kiwis as Styris was looking very dangerous accelerating the scorecard. But its over, Styris made his way towards the dressing room. Styris was the third batsmen to miss fifty after Fleming & Astle that too all making a good starts but failed to convert them to huge ones!

McCullum replaced Styris at the crease. For Kiwis, Oram has to break the patience as he seems to be well settled atm and have to accelerate the scoring rate with gud support from McCullum. While Bangla wud be looking to utilise this big blow. Still 8 Overs left, and a great contest is ON between bat & ball



NewZealand :- 181/5(42)
McCullum : 2*(3)
J.Oram : 34*(53)

S.Styris : 48(70) Dismissed by Aftab.

Kiwis In Trouble Again!
( Hopes On Oram got shattered as he departs to Razzak )​

With all hopes on Oram, the pressure on him also increased to score runs quickly. Bangla skipper brought back Mortaza and Razzak to continue the last stage of this innings. Mortaza was very tight in his line and gave away only a run which continued building pressure on Oram.

In one of the deliveries of Razzak, Oram tried to go over the top aiming for a huge one, but did not get the timing right. This resulted in the top edge and the ball safely landed in Rafique's hand. Razzak was delighted to get rid of the well settled batsmen.

There were more frustrations seen in Kiwis dressing room and infact the Kiwis coach was not found there watching the match! The entire Bangladesh team was once again brought together for celebration and another vital wicket down for NewZealand.

Oram walked back to the dressing room with head down and Vettori replaced Oram at the crease. With McCullum and Vettori just arrived in, massive pressure is on Kiwis to get some defendable total. Bangladesh are very much contented to strike at the regular intervals applying more & more pressure on NewZealand. With 5 overs to go, Bangladesh gain a slight upperhand over Kiwis at the moment!



NewZealand :- 192/6(45)
McCullum : 8*(12)
Vettori : 1(1)

J.Oram : 38(61) Dismissed by Razzak.
