Mark : "It's a good score but not a great one. No disrespect to Pakistan but a few years back NZ would have really hammered them. Where NZ were once part of the top 3 (Australia, England and NZ) and arguably one of the top 2, now they struggle to be considered in the top 4. India and the West Indies are right up there and teams like South Africa and Pakistan have really improved. But NZ is going backwards. They have some very good players but are just not functioning as a team. " --- They are No. 3 in the world though, in this format. Were shattered by that Harmanpreet innings. Needed to win against India if they wanted to get out of this group.

Husnain: "I don't understand one thing, Amilia Kerr has a double ton in ODi's why doesn't she bats higher up the order." --- She was never a batsman and that was kind of an experiment against Ireland. If you look closely at her numbers, you'll see she got most of her runs in that series. But yes, she clearly has the ability to be higher up than No. 9.

5:26pm It's the kind of score that has been a winning one so far. Runs from the top four will give you that. New Zealand got that today. Brisk, even if not explosive, from all four of their top order. Pakistan were sloppy in the field and gave away runs and chances that have added up in the end. They bowled decently, but will feel like they've conceded 10-15 runs too much.

Aliya is on a hat-trick now

Switches to over the wicket

Anon06: "Why does the cricinfo headline say "...final group match"? Doesn't each team play 4 games?" --- This is Pakistan's last group game.
