Speaker 1 (00:00):
Lack of course. Another highlight from overnight, remembering that the
black Caps are doing battle in the T twenty World
Cup across India. Andrew Ordison is our go to quick
and guru.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hello, greetings, Luke.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
A ten wicket spanking of UAE. This is incredible.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's hard to know where to
rank that is. I mean, u a relative well of
relatively weak teams in the competition, but you've got to
beat everyone, and New Zealand have done so. It's it's
a comprehensive victory. Ten wickets mean a record partnership has
never been a higher partnership than one seventy five ay

(00:38):
of the ten editions of the T twenty World Cup,
taking over that from Alex Hales and Josh Butler in
twenty twenty two against India and Adelaide the Englishman who
made one hundred and seventy that day. But yeah, Tim
Siphon Finellen with well, it's like for eighty nine Allen
eighty four and no match where the UAE bowler is

(00:59):
New Zealand who wins. There are two side for two
player of the matches from two games and I think that, yeah,
that's that's what they need to keep doing. I mean,
I guess the big game will be South Africa later on.
They've got to play Canada as well as part of
the poll. But certainly the tournament starting off better than
in twenty twenty four in the Caribbean and the States.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Well, considering the shaky running that we head to this
tournament as well to be top of Paul d as ideal.
So if we sort of maintain that we enter, where
do we go from here?

Speaker 2 (01:29):
In?

Speaker 1 (01:29):
The tournament goes to like a super eight or something,
isn't it?

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah? Yeah, And I think I mean it is. You
could call it a shaky runther I actually think it's
the ideal run, to be honest, luc And needs four
one loss to India, But India are the favorites of
this tournament and you're not going to get any tougher
build up than that, and I think it's probably in
their favor, to be honest. Fact even that it's going
to help, you know, there's no allusions to what they

(01:54):
are going to require. They also got a few players
to bet in the middle order, you know, to strike
rate a better than one hundred and six. The in
that first game against Afghanistan and so I think they're
in a reasonable shape at the moment, albeit they have
lost Michael Bracewell off spinning all round her to less
calf injury. He's done it again and then there's a
Cole McConkey will be will be joining the side.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
So that next game against the Protea is the early
hours of Sunday morning our time. You peir that with
you know, the weird viewing times with the Winter Olympics,
and it's great to be at night out at the
moment
