2024 ICC Womens T20 World Cup UAE Oct 3-Oct 20

[010203]

India will now have to barrack for Pakistan to beat New Zealand and do so convincingly. What a predicament for them to be in.

The player who I believe should be captain (Tahlia McGrath) is one from one as captain!

Edit: Tahlia is actually 3 from 3 as Australian captain.

Psst - it was her third match captaining Aus

She's the twice captained Aus in T-20s, both times against India (first match in 2022) and also in an ODI against Ireland in 2023

India , NZ , Pakistan just playing to lose to England.

 

[Moonwatcher]

NZ on their way

 

[Moonwatcher]

Pakistan won't win fielding like that

 

[Moonwatcher]

That's more like the Bates the Strikers had

 

[Moonwatcher]

Could go some southern style tenders

 

[Moonwatcher]

This could be chase-able in 10 overs

 

[NYRB]

Pakistan were dropping catches in their warm ups. Their fielding is a joke.


Anyway dinner menu here at Dubai at the change of innings:



Food is about 3 stars to be fair.

 

[NYRB]

Pakistan with 8 dropped catches in the field against NZ. Could have been chasing a bit less.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Wonder how much WI would have to belt England by to eliminate England.

But of promotion for the (T20 Women’s world cup) at Sharaf DG, a place I’m staying about 45 minutes by public transport to Dubai Cricket Stadium.


The demographics of the area seem interesting . Ellyse Perry is the ambassador of Australia in that image.

This Pakistan catching is an absolute embarrassment that if Pakistan had a fielding coach he/she should resign immediately and find a different profession.
