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

[captain.hansolo]

Conspiracy by BCCI to avoid losing to New Zealand.

Yep BCCi has a machine that can control the weather and yet they seem to have such trivial aspirations as cricket domination, when they could go full global domination instead…

 

[MP2011]

Iyer gone

 

[Saj]

Great planning by NZ.

Iyer looked shaky against the short ball.

Teams do their homework and reap the rewards.

 

[Devadwal]

Iyer ego cost his wicket .he is thinking like I can play all the short stuff .man best batters sometime leave the Ball

 

[MP2011]

Good catch

 

[Sunzi]

Literally all 3 wickets were thrown away. Only this team can stop itself.

 

[Mas-LFC]

NZ need to get Kohli out. Then they’ll be on top!

 

[Devadwal]

Iyer is improved his game against pace but he need to learn few things that you can't play every shot pitch delivery

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Literally all 3 wickets were thrown away. Only this team can stop itself.

Tbf Henry was unlucky

 

[kron]

Hahaha short ball again. Iyer lol

Classico

 

[sweep_shot]

India - 128/3 (22 overs).

NZ need to get Kohli out soon.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

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

I never did that.. And frankly i never saw someone using that word (lumber 1) except you.

 

[Saanji]

Kohli is timid? Lol

Not playing smoothly ... this will be a hard chase or losing by 30 runs

 

[kron]

Iyer is good away from body. But directed at his ribs he is poor. Not good enough.

 

[kron]

Last recognised pair. Nz still have a chance to break india' overrated batting. Unlike their bowling which is class, it's their batting that let's them down in key moments.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Game is perfect balance now
Next 15 min will so crucial for both the teams

 

[vodafone_lover]

Hahaha short ball again. Iyer lol

Classico

India is under pressure .this is quality cricket between top sides for fans

 

[MP2011]

Great shot to open his account by Rahul

 

[sweep_shot]

140 runs are needed from 159 balls. 7 wickets in hand.

Game is on balance.

 

[kron]

Virat can't play spin
Iyer can't play short ball
Tail starts at 8

Rahul can be mentally fragile in pressure games although he has improved.

These are India's issues.

Bowling is quality

Only 2 wickets in hands .don't count last 4

Not as bad as lumber 1 short ball fodder iyer lol

 

[sweep_shot]

Sodhi should've played. Could've dried up the runs.

 

[kron]

Oh wait useless sky is playing haha. How india can select hacks like sky is really mind boggling.

 

[kron]

Yea we all know your tail.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Pressure realising shot by KL.. He can eat remaining balls now

 

[kron]

27 averaging dud player like sky shouldn't be playing odi honestly.

 

[kron]

Pressure realising shot by KL.. He can eat remaining balls now

He batted well vs Aussies in pressure situation. They need him again. Can he step up?

 

[Devadwal]

Virat can't play spin
Iyer can't play short ball
Tail starts at 8

Rahul can be mentally fragile in pressure games although he has improved.

These are India's issues.

Bowling is quality

Kohli ki total century kitni h pta h ? Ginti ati h ?
Pakistan ke 15 + 3 reserve player so total 18 , in sabki total milake bhi Kohli ke barabar ni hogi

 

[vodafone_lover]

Not as bad as lumber 1 short ball fodder iyer lol

Lol, now classico's are further categorised into categories...LMAO

 

[Devadwal]

Why are they taking risky single

 

[kron]

Kohli ki total century kitni h pta h ? Ginti ati h ?
Pakistan ke 15 + 3 reserve player so total 18 , in sabki total milake bhi Kohli ke barabar ni hogi

But if he was so good why does he struggle vs santner. Santner has his number I am pretty sure.

 

[globetrotter]

Bodyline bowling from Ferguson…. Not in the spirit of game

 

[IndoorCricket]

Kohli has issues with left arm offies

 

[Mas-LFC]

India’s home record is so good. Who is going to stop them. It looks like another host nation most likely to win the CWC!
South Africa for me the only hope to stop India.

 

[kron]

Yea india are never chasing 300. Actually I don't see any team being able to chase 300. It's not easy at all.

Wonder which team will hit 300 vs india.

 

[Ali Active]

Kohli might choke today

 

[vodafone_lover]

Kohli ki total century kitni h pta h ? Ginti ati h ?
Pakistan ke 15 + 3 reserve player so total 18 , in sabki total milake bhi Kohli ke barabar ni hogi

They are obsessed with Kohli knowing the fact that they will never ever produce a batsman of such caliber.

It's their hate which is working when typing on keyboard

Aap maje lo Deva bhai bas, Apna Kohli, ambassador of worldwide cricket.

Jitni inki population hai, utni Kohli ki Instagram par following hai

 

[Devadwal]

Virat Avarage against Santner is 50.25 before this game

You need good quality wrist spinner and McGrath level bowler.

Sa have good bowling only for swing friendly pitches of india. Won't be there 60% of the time.

 

[kron]

Virat Avarage against Santner is 50.25 before this game

Interesting.

 

[Devadwal]

Giving too much respect for Ravindra .Iyer is needed for this situation

 

[kron]

Kohli has issues with left arm offies

Been saying that for ages.

 

[kron]

Giving too much respect for Ravindra .Iyer is needed for this situation

Iyer can't play short ball. Keeeeng can't play spin. That's India's issue. Batting.

Sky cant play odi in general.

 

[Abraham786]

Earlier Kohli used to play inside out and going down the track against spinner now a days he don't , That's why struggling against left arm spinner

 

[kron]

Lol criminal. To waste vs rachin. So overrated these batsmen vs spin.

 

[kron]

He always had issue vs left arm spin and also against bowlers that swing away from him with new ball

 

[Saanji]

Strike rate below 60.. really kohli..
Choke is incoming

 

[Devadwal]

Pressure is building as they are playing too many dot balls

 

[MP2011]

Kohli struggling, getting into a trap of dot balls

 

[kron]

India trying Dhoni style. Taking it deep cause of weak tail by the looks of it.

 

[kron]

Kohli struggling, getting into a trap of dot balls

Nothing new. He is poor vs any decent spin.

2016 vs australia he averaged 10 on turners.

 

[IndoorCricket]

Pressure is building as they are playing too many dot balls

Credit to NZ fielders. No free lunch for Indian batsman.

 

[globetrotter]

It’s 1st time in this WC, Indian batters come across such a quality bowling attack

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Virat struggling to score fluently.
Worrying signs for India??

 

[MP2011]

6 by Kohli

 

[dravidthewall]

Need to get kohli out ..else match will gone

Spinning

Yes yes let's all worship keeng kohli because that's normal. Only in India players would be looked at as gods lol.

@kron now

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Timely 6 by Kohli.
Pressure was building on him

 

[Abraham786]

You started watching cricket after 2019 probably earlier 2013 to 2018he used to creamate spinners, Had a 2016-2019 peak that would've embarrassed Sachin and Viv Richards aswell, At the age of 34 reflexs aren't now that

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Easy win now

2016 he got blown away by Australian spinners. Looks like you need to re watch his entire career.

He averaged 9 in that series.

 

[jusarrived]

May be but virat is not timid, he just swallows his ego when the team needs him

Henry?

 

[Devadwal]

It's ravindra bhai. Sit down fam. It's rachin rabindra a part timer.

Check Virat avarage against all type of bowler .
If you are watching cricket from few months then read the history or watch highlights.

 

[MP2011]

Shot by Kohli

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Shot of authority from Virat
Released all the pressure from him

 

[kingusama92]

Kohli is insane in chases.

Watch 2016 india vs australia in tests. Then come back and have a chat with me.

 

[Stark]

Scintillating drive by Kohli.

And again a single follows a boundary. Copy book style good ethics.

 

[kron]

Imagine kohli vs Murali Warne. Both would have made him break dance lol

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Kohli v Babar is like comparing Wasim to Willey.

 

[AAli98]

Yet another cliffhanger of a match.. just give bcci the cup (theyv bought it anyway)..spare the players/fans the misery

 

[Devadwal]

IND 168/3(30)
Need another 106 from 120 balls

 

[kron]

Kohli v Babar is like comparing Wasim to Willey.

It's like comparing bhuvi kumar to Waqar.

 

[Abraham786]

Show me stats 9 in ur dreams I know he was poor in that series but you are desperate now speaking anything.
