Good from Satnav!

Neesh gets smoked in his third - 18 off it.

This surprises no one.

Neesh should be filed under "break glass and let him bowl only when everyone else has fallen over"

[Chris B.]

Annoyingly one of Duffy or Ferg will only bowl three overs.

The Rachin ploy sort of worked. Henry then gets another - late but helpful!

[MN5]

Kept them well under 200, that's solid.

Gettable total providing they handle the spin and someone goes big.

[Chris B.]

Worries me that Santner was our most economical and the Afghans are spin heavy.

Pitch didn't appear to have too many demons.

Looked like a nicely paced innings - our inability to pick up regular wickets obviously allowed them to score mor freely than desired.

Seifert and Allen are one of the best opening combos in the tournament. A lot will depend on the stsrt they provide.

Apparently we have never chased down a score over 17o at a T20 World cup, today will be a good day to make history!

No shortage of batting.

I wonder where Mitch will bat ? of late he's been 5/6, I reckon he needs to come in earlier. It's not like he's tuckered out from bowling.

Will be 5/6. Probably six I'd reckon.

Pushing more on Phillips at four.

[Chris B.]

My optimism is somewhat diminished!

[Donsteppa]

The "guns" for hire failing when it counts as usual. Neesham with the ball and now Allen with the bat.

[Chris B.]

FFS!!!

[Donsteppa]

Let's hope for a big one from Siefert now, much needed.

[Chris B.]

Not sure Phillips is the guy to be at four in this situation.

Yeah that's what I was alluding to. Mitch should have gone in.

Not sure why they force Ravindra into T20s - clearly his worst format - should be left to play ODIs and Tests

Three half centuries in 40 completed innings is a poor return especially when you compare to his records in the other two formats. If he wasn't in the team he wouldn't be missed.

Seven 50s in 124 domestic and international T20s at an average of 20 and change. He should not be in the NZ side. I think his Super Smash average is something like 16.

South African commentators bloody annoying, obsessed with NZ chasing totals over 173
