Rain affected match and the Bangladeshis have started on fire. Our bowlers looking like cannon-fodder so far!
Our bowling looks nowhere near good enough to challenge the pointy end of the tournament.
Tahuhu in particular has been poor. Going at around 7 runs per over against WI and Bangles is not going to cut it against Aus and Eng.
Our whole gameplan relies on our top 4 bats scoring big
I haven't seen all of the 2 games but it looked like way too much short stuff to me. Short of a length, just outside off and set the field accordingly - it is working for the Windies so far. Their non-spin bowlers are nothing much but they are getting wickets by applying pressure through not giving away easy runs.

And when players are trying to force shots, don't be clever just bowl straight

Tahuhu doesn't have any control of her line and length. So far it seems that a lack of pace is the better option on these pitches.
A Tahuhu or a Shrubsole type bowler just seems to be cannon fodder for top order batters in this tournament - at least so far...

West Indies must fancy their chances of the top four now. Two wins from two against NZ and England, and with Pakistan and Bangladesh still to come, and a good chance against South Africa too.
Yep, you only need to finish in the top half. 7 Games, so 4 wins should get you there.
Australia look a lock (no surprises).
Windies very very likely with two wins against what were to be top opposition. Have to win 2/5 with Bangles and Pakistanis to come.at the bottom, it's hard to see the Bangles or Pakistanis getting there now.
So two have to go out, probably from England, NZ, SA, India
Today is a critical game for us - win, and we can afford to drop another 2 games against Aus and then one of either SA/Eng. Lose, and we need 2 out of three there, and that (while doable) is much harder.
England are up against it, although the first loss to Aus isn't a surprise; they could easily run the table.
NZZP's probable final 4:
Aus
WI
India

NZYep, I have Australia and the West Indies as definite finalists (assuming that WI don't slip up against Pakistan or Bangladesh). Then India, and for then the fourth position I can't make my mind up.
NZ v England game will be crucial, and South Africa don't seem like a bad side either...

Par is ~280 I reckon. NZ will need to bowl well and take early wickets.
Yeah - that early runout of Bates kept the handbrake slightly on for a fair bit of our innings. We seemed to play most of it one wicket down more than I liked.
We need to do the same to them!

Very average batting effort, really needed another 30 or 40 runs, someone had to get a hundred & be there near the end - astonished Martin is batting so high in the order, struggles to turn the strike over & hardly has any power in her shots, woeful, surely she should be batting down at 10 or 11 ? ...on such a great batting pitch if we don't get a quick 2 or 3 early wickets to give us a chance they're going to win pretty easily.
Our opening bowlers need to get it pretty full in good areas on or just outside off stump, don't want any of that short wide crap that will give them a flyer.
