Cricinfo signed off with this:
"New Zealand chased down 57 runs in the last four overs, the most target runs successfully chased by any team in men's T20Is at the death overs (where we have BBB data). Previous most was 56 by Australia vs Pakistan 2010 and Zimbabwe vs Scotland 2021."
The most remarkable thing is that we only needed 3 of those 4 overs.
That really is some absolutely phenomenal hitting under pressure in a semi final.

Bring on the final. Don't mind who we play, both Pakistan and Aus have a mental edge over us at the moment, but in T20s anything can happen so we are a great chance of snatching a white ball trophy.
Not sure how true that is for the team.
The fucking Aussie cricket team has a mental edge on me!

The overs went 23, 14, 20. That is Bazza v England CWC2015-esque

did we win the game at the toss
gotta say, didn't expect to see this when i woke up. These boys never fail to surprise me
I'm a petty guy, but part of my enjoyment in this is social media. I fucking loooove watching the mental gymnastics Indian fans have to perform to argue they are still the best team in the world across all formats. And how we're plucky underdogs who keep getting lucky.
lol fuck off Ranjit, your team of mentally weak millionaires just suck a bit.
If Pakistan make the final, we're a chance. If Australia make the final we are fucked.

@donsteppa yeah well KP is just a giant fuckhead so it's very easy to ignore anything that he produces.

Fucking Aussie have a history of smacking us when it counts, but right now Pakistan are the superior team in this format. Both sides are going to be damn hard to beat, we'll need to win the toss again at the very least.
-
@donsteppa's meme reminded me of the shots of Steve Bruce in the crowd. I don't know why he was looking so glum at the end - he should be used to losing.
-
Based on what I can see on social media, if Pakistan lose to Aus then the Pakistani fans are going to have a meltdown the likes of which has never been seen before in the cricketing world.

Aussie are our kryptonite. They don't fear us at all, and we often underperform. I'd take my chances with Pakistan
-
so we won woohoo, was expecting that game to be a coin toss..highly unlikely we won the toss though (did we?)..
I still expect Aus to make the final and us to subsequently lose. Looking forward to suporting Pakistan who I give us a better chance of beating.
A big hairy bollocks to those who think paksitan are unbeatable in this part of the world.

Just finished watching highlights of our innings. Shit we had some luck!

Catches being taken over the boundary? Payback for Stokes-Boult 2019!

wow just reading this, "It was recently reported that Mitchell’s father ultimately quit the England coaching set-up after (Eddie) Jones told him not to go and watch his son play because he had to do some work."
If that was true, I hope old moonhead loved that cameo! and hopefully sent eddie a few pics -

If that was true, I hope old moonhead loved that cameo! and hopefully sent eddie a few picsWas a while ago, on his day off. Not for the semi, he's been out of England Rugby since July
