Pakistan are all but out of the tournament, but they have an outside chance if they beat Australia and if other results go their way. After the start Pakistan will believe they lost it more than New Zealand winning it. See you tomorrow with a double-header.

23:02 (IST)22 MAR 2016

Shahid Afridi: "Shehzad and Sharjeel started well but we can't play well against the spinners. We keep repeating mistakes and in this format you can't do that. It might be the last game of my career against Australia."

23:01 (IST)22 MAR 2016

KW: "It was a very good surface and the batters played their roles nicely to get a very good score. And then the bowlers did well under pressure to finish it off. 180 we felt was above par. It's a good score on any ground. The way the guys adjusted on a different surface again was very good."

22:55 (IST)22 MAR 2016

Martin Guptill: " We found early that the wicket was a bit better than what we have played on so far. So we went through with our shots. Bowlers came out and did their job well. I try to keep playing the same way. Can't change my game. New ball comes on a bit more so it's easier. We are playing good cricket at this stage and hope to keep doing the same in the next game."
