23rd Match, Super 10 Group 2: New Zealand v Pakistan at Mohali

[Autonomous]

Based on the pic, how will it turn much when it has a grass cover. The grass has been kept to hold the pitch together

So if the grass is cut it would most likely be flat. If the grass is kept, it will assist seamers 

Should make it Flat. Dont want another Asia Cup type pitch with grass

Such a pitch will allow Pak seamers to come into it. And so will NZ seamers. That will make for some interesting viewing.

Then we need to make sure that we play seamers however still drop Wahab. Also batting 2nd will help as you have to be calculative on such a wicket, Hopefully Aamir can wreck them if its seamer friendly wicket

Pak would rather bat first in any case as batting while chasing can be tricky.

[Adi_91]

and NZ hasn't been tested yet chasing...

But you know, we all want Pak to chase. It will be fun to watch, whatever may be the pitch.

Expecting an easy win for NZ. With the addition of 2 good spinners in Sodhi and Santner, they have all the bases covered. Guptil and Munro have to bat sensibly making up for their previous failures, if they both come to the party it's game over for PAK. If Pak win their next 2 games, it's game over for us.

Weather is clear for tonight and it'll be windy (its very windy here in delhi,wind speed around 22kmph) .both teams should stack fast bowlers in their line up looking at the pitch,should be a comeback for boult,southee.

Bowling first is the way to go

[Asim]

Pak with lowest morale vs NZ in red-hot form...

[sandeep]

Wait for Munro to explode on Pak like a beige sutli bomb.  Should be entertaining.  And then as a bonus, they will spend the next few years trying to find someone like him instead of a proper batsman that they really need desperately.

Interesting match this. Pak may just win. Still a unpredictable team.

[Nash]

I support nz but Pak with injuries is better team than pak without injuries.  So u never know.  It will be close match.

NZ batting. Hafeez and Wahab Out, Latif and Imad In.

What do you mean? Casting aspersions on ICC?

Pitch? Flat?

Has grass and looks dirty. Guess, they have left some grass on it. However, it does not look live grass.

no southee or boult again - being too smart

 

surely one of them can go up before mcClenaghan

The Old mohali wicket. Will help Pacers in swing and seam but also good for batting if you survive the starting spell.
