Really pulling for NZ. They've got off to a great start. With the reduced overs they can probably afford to start teeing off at the 30 over mark.

Yeah they have some good strikers of the ball to come. I think with 8 wickets in hand, at least one of the set batsmen has to have a crack with 19 overs or so to go. I'd imagine Williamson will go hard and Taylor will do so to a lesser extent. Would like to see Williamson get a ton.

Looks like the Aussies have really strangled NZ in these last 10 overs, taken wickets at key times.

Good result for us but as if we win Tuesday we're through to the semi final. That said I'd still have loved to see NZ do over the Aussies. Seemed like they had 'em on the ropes!

Standard as strawberry float here. After giving us a tough match BD are falling over like dominos for the Aussies. BD captain didn't even review his LBW decision despite getting an inside edge.

They've forecast rain for later on so I'm hoping for it being abandoned as a draw.

This Aussie attack though, strawberry float. We're going to be in for a hell of a working over in the winter.

I'm guessing that Tamil and Shakib are going to try and target Zampa but there's no reason not to try and target Head as well, he's bang average.

Pathetic tail fold from Bangladesh.

That was such a bizarre period of play with Bangladesh dragging out every delivery and Steve Smith blocking out to try and get through the over quicker without losing a wicket because they were well ahead on d/l.

Match abandoned.

TBD the Aussies now have two points which is what they likely would have had anyway.

I'm calling it now, Roy is going to go big today. To hell with the mockers, c'mon England!

Well that went well. To be fair to Roy, 13 does constitute going big based on his recent scores.

Bloody chilly here lads. You'll all be glad to hear I used the GRcade mockers in person as Roy was bowled. "I'm just glad he's not managed to get out yet" during the runup. *clatter*

Representing.

I swear literally every time Stokes comes to the crease to bat with Root he starves Root of the strike leading to a dismissal.

Not convinced we scored enough runs tbh. Might be enough to get the win but 350 was more than in reach after 25 overs.
