ICC World Cup 2023: India (274/6) defeat New Zealand (273 all out) by 4 wickets

[shah_1]

Can't even see the ball due to haze

 

[MP2011]

More misfielding

 

[jnaveen1980]

Iyer by Indian standard is poor against short ball lol Otherwise he is better than a lot of subcontinent players

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Omg, dew effect has started.. Fielders are sliding on the ground

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Iyer too good

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Meanwhile Shreyas Iyer bashing their quicks....
so much for the 'can't play pace brigade'

 

[jnaveen1980]

Meanwhile Shreyas Iyer bashing their quicks....

Yea.. He bossed NZ in NZ in every single innings.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

I guess we need to play till 20th ov to make this count as a game...

 

[MP2011]

Play held up

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think you should have day game in Dharamsala during this near winter season

 

[MP2011]

They are going off

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Silly to be playing in Himalayan foothills near winter

 

[IndoorCricket]

Iyer too good

You trying to JINX bro?

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Yea.. He bossed NZ in NZ in every single innings.

maybe he's improved....is'nt that possible? if someone works on their shortcomings hard enough surely they can

 

[MP2011]

Has the play ever been held up due to fog?

 

[Asif321]

So stupid to have a night game here .

 

[kingusama92]

That's a unique way for a game to get delayed

 

[GLORY OF '92]

You trying to JINX bro?

I don't believe in jinx rubbish. I call what I see.

 

[jnaveen1980]

maybe he's improved....is'nt that possible? if someone works on their shortcomings hard enough surely they can

You can live with weakness. So many players have done that before. Lot of Pak players are very poor against short ball. Atleast this guy pulls 145k ball with authority.

 

[kingusama92]

It's also 15°C.

Why would you host it at night here? Just as bizarre as hosting the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That's a unique way for a game to get delayed

Don't think this will improve. This is not rain to stop. Haze may get worse and worse

 

[Rajdeep]

If this game is fogged out and both teams get 1-1 points, what is the equation for teams like Pakistan and Australia? Good or bad for them anyone?

 

[Asif321]

Has the play ever been held up due to fog?

Himalayan range during winter gets really foggy I’m sure it’s quite difficult visibility will be low too .

 

[jnaveen1980]

If this game is fogged out and both teams get 1-1 points, what is the equation for teams like Pakistan and Australia? Good or bad for them anyone?

Bad for everyone. They will have only two spots to fight for. Both will have instant advantage.

 

[rhony]

Why would you have a day night game here? Didn't they see fog/mist the day before?

 

[shah_1]

What a disaster by BCCI

Don't they have historical information to make better decisions

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hope there is no reduction

 

[Abraham786]

Fog saving kiwis

 

[sindhiboy]

Silly to be playing in Himalayan foothills near winter

right

 

[Devadwal]

Is this first gamw play here ? What about previous world cup game where mqtch were played under the light's?

 

[jnaveen1980]

I was saying only yesterday.. "Glad there is no rain" lol We get this weird thingy

 

[kingusama92]

Don't think this will improve. This is not rain to stop. Haze may get worse and worse

I find it odd they don't look into these things when scheduling games. I would assume such conditions are expected in Dharamsala and are well-known by national experts.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Hope teams are staying near the ground. Driving in fog in these foothills area is not safe.

 

[MP2011]

Himalayan range during winter gets really foggy I’m sure it’s quite difficult visibility will be low too .

But we have had a lot of day night games being played here. Never ever had this happened

 

[jnaveen1980]

When they start there will be more dew. They don't have 5th bowler. India just has to not to play stupid s hots against Ferguson and santner.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

After facing Rauf's 149kph bouncers, facing Ferguson's bouncer is like medium pace for Shreyas Iyer.

Thank you Haris Rauf

Lol, Lockie, Wood and Nortje are faster than Rauf.

 

[Rana]

One of the most bizarre venues

 

[shah_1]

What a lucky escape for kiwis

Massive one point for kiwis

 

[MMHS]

This misty air is extremely harmful for players - long back, we played few games in December early morning in northern Bangladesh under very similar foggy conditions, breathing this type of wet air, almost all the players caught cold, many ended with pneumonia.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Conspiracy by BCCI to avoid losing to New Zealand.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lol, Lockie, Wood and Nortje are faster than Rauf.

Sometimes that was not Lockie's friend. He was thrashed around by lot of no name players in the IPL and Gujarat Titans kicked him out.

 

[Asif321]

But we have had a lot of day night games being played here. Never ever had this happened

It can happen anytime during mid October to early feb . There is always a chance for this to happen . I’m a Himalayan myself spend most of my trekking adventures in Himalayan ranges . Even in summer it can happen late night and early mornings . I remember at pir panjal once at 2 afternoon during mid September. We got covered with fog all over

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sharing points is not at all good for other teams for sure.

 

[Devadwal]

Now condition is not bad at all . All the momentum we were getting is gone now

 

[jnaveen1980]

I was hoping for Ferguson getting phainty if INdia survives against Henry and Boult. Complete anti climax.

 

[sweep_shot]

Sharing points is not at all good for other teams for sure.

I don't think these two teams can affect other teams now. India and New Zealand are likely through. Each team is at 4-0 already.

 

[SportsWarrior]

What a disaster by BCCI

Don't they have historical information to make better decisions

No, because it has never happened, not in this ground, not in india, probably nowhere else in an ODI. So there is no historical information

 

[Devadwal]

Players are coming to the field now .

 

[MP2011]

Players are back on field

 

[Saanji]

The posta by some posters are so funny.
All the matches in dharamshala have been played between Oct to Jan. It's a freak weather. But someone looking to blame Bcci will continue to do so

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Meanwhile Shreyas Iyer bashing their quicks....
so much for the 'can't play pace brigade'

You can just say Kron

 

[Saanji]

What a disaster by BCCI

Don't they have historical information to make better decisions

All matches at the venue have been played in winters brother. Try again.

 

[kingusama92]

Good to see it clear out, let's hope the fog stays away now

 

[Devadwal]

I was hoping for Ferguson getting phainty if INdia survives against Henry and Boult. Complete anti climax.

Exactly my thoughts . both dissmal were on nothing delivery.

 

[globetrotter]

It reminds me desert storm interrupted India v/s Australia match in Sharjah 1998
Match was interrupted for half an hour… after desert storm, sachin Tendulkar storm hit Australia

 

[Devadwal]

As i said before the toss .dew will come here around 6PM local time. It was predicable so no excuse

 

[Devadwal]

IND - 106/2 (17)
India need 168 runs from 198 balls

 

[Saanji]

Kohli feeling the nerves .. too timid
He doesn't like lockie

 

[MP2011]

Great cover drive from Kohli

 

[Devadwal]

Nice cover drive by king

 

[MP2011]

There will be only 1 drinks break in this Indian innings

 

[Devadwal]

Four to finished the over .

IND - 117/2 (18)​

 

[MP2011]

We didn't score anything in 11/18 overs bowled so far, still have scored 118 in 18 overs.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Heavy dew on the ground clearly visible

 

[MP2011]

Santner bowling beautifully

 

[Devadwal]

Turn for santner .
He is bowling very slow,this is why hw us getting turn . Superb skills

 

[Saanji]

Santner spinning like crazy despite dew

 

[Kianig89]

India playing it like PlayStation

 

[Devadwal]

NZ still not used any over from 5th bowler

 

[Mas-LFC]

Silly to be playing in Himalayan foothills near winter

Surprised they didn’t have Guwhati as a venue which looked nice and good for batting too, North east India has no venue for this cwc.

 

[Devadwal]

Good over from Boult
IND 121/2(20)
Need another 153 run from 180 balls

 

[kron]

Please behave your language. You are on a public forum. There are many other ways to describe situation.

What? You guys kept calling babar lumber 1. Not me.

But it's still funny how that atg saffer team could never win a home test series against Australia or England

They won away though but yes losing at home is embarassing.

No disrespect but you guys were calling babar lumber 1. Not me. I dint instigate it.

India have 50+ international cricket stadium so they can't Play at all The Venue

 

[kron]

Iyer by Indian standard is poor against short ball lol Otherwise he is better than a lot of subcontinent players

He is poor vs balls aimed at his body. Give him some space and he will thrash you. Somewhat like head.

 

[jusarrived]

Kohli feeling the nerves .. too timid
He doesn't like lockie

Kohli is timid? Lol

 

[kron]

Meanwhile Shreyas Iyer bashing their quicks....
so much for the 'can't play pace brigade'

It's sub continent pitches anyway. He can't play well directed short balls at his body/ribs area. Give him width then he will bash you.

 

[Devadwal]

He is poor vs balls aimed at his body. Give him some space and he will thrash you. Somewhat like head.

He is better than all current Pakistan players including Lumber one 1 batsman against pace

 

[kron]

He is better than all current Pakistan players against pace .

Yes because pakistan batsmen are the benchmark for batting standards. Thanks.

 

[Devadwal]

Gone,I jinx him
