Sodhi couldn't even go at less than 10s against Pakistan.

said it before the game, Ferguson hasn’t looked fit and let’s be real Southee in these conditions is just Stoinis

Win the toss and they have Southee and Ferguson bowling in that difficult first 10-15 over period under lights
In 2019 NZ made the final by restricting teams to low scores if I'm not mistaken. So already have failed to do that.

Kane hasn't had a good day with the reviews. They've got none left now.

Ferguson still bowling for goodness knows what reason

In 2019, 11 games were decided by 30 runs or less. The chasing team won in the last 3 overs and/or with 3 or less wickets remaining in 5 games. 16 games in total would be considered close games.
In 2023, the same parameters yield us 2 wins batting first and 8 batting second. 10 games in total that would be considered close.
Definite reduction.
Close wins to the team batting second are a bit harder to judge just on pure wickets and balls remaining as a lot of the time the chasing team cruises to the finish line with an inevitable under their belt, especially if it's close on balls remaining but they still have 5 or 6 wickets in the shed. I don't have time to go over each individual game, but the numbers above back up what the eye is telling us that there have been fewer close games and more blowouts in this World Cup.

Well done Kohli but even Geoff Boycott would have racked up a run a ball ton in this innings.
