After winning the toss and choosing to field first, Pakistan's bowling attack hasn't justified the decision of their captain. The line and length of the bowlers are absolutely pathetic. I think the Pakistan captain has miscalculated the pitch condition. Anything over 350 will be difficult to chase on any surface, and Pakistan are known for their poor chasing history.
After 30 overs, NZ are 211/1, and with 9 wickets in hand, they will be targeting a total of 380+. The chances of Pakistan qualifying for this World Cup semi-final are almost over.
Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson are doing well and have a great partnership. Still on the pitch and if they remain on pitch so they can go above 350 runs and if they will make 380 runs target or near to it so it will be difficult to chase by Pakistan. If Pakistan want to win so need to restrict unders 300 which is looking impossible.

By the way according to the current situation 245/1 in 34 overs. And Rachin Ravindra has made his century and Kane Williamson is just near to the century with 92 runs.
