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

[kron]

Night time as usual. Dew factor lol. Rubbish dew. No dew.
And then under lights it's easy to bat. Yea no. It's cooler. Bowlers will be more charged up.
Chasing at night time is not easy.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

I m glad i didn't select Conway for FC league, he is another hack.

 

[kron]

Looks pristine. The stadium. Beautiful weather.

What a city.
I should plan a trip if i ever get the chance around this part of india.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Our tail started at8 We have 4 mud batters'

If not today but in knockouts, but we are surely going to end our losing streak against Kiwis..
Dekh lena

 

[kron]

Noticed rohit gets frustrated easy lol

I am not sure if this is the right kind of attitude for a captain. Sure he wins alot with a powerful team but when he reaches ko stages, getting flustered easy won't help.

Got to be ice cool like Dhoni.

If your bumrah performs vs his bogey team.

Beautiful place and beautiful people, loads of Buddhist monastery and people. The seat of Dalai Lama.

 

[ex-q-zit]

He's like the Waqar to your Wasim (Bumrah).

Generally he concedes but carries genuine wicket taking threat. Bumrah economical and gets his fair share but doesn't get the hauls his quality deserves.

Another thing can be Bumrah concedes very few runs that the batsmen try to score off Siraj and give wickets.

 

[globetrotter]

Today Siraj bowling better than Bumrah means Shami will b more devastating for NZ

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Rohit wasted first review so he is afraid to waste another.

 

[daytrader]

CRR 2.37 New Zealand has adopted the Pakistan Way

 

[shah_1]

India is too good

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Goneeeeeee

 

[Rajdeep]

Shami bhai first ball wicket...just wow

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

This guy Shami is made for world cups
He even has better world cup stats than great Mitchell Starc

 

[Sunzi]

Gone.

 

[shah_1]

NZ have got Australia and South Africa next. They can lose three games in a row, be in trouble. I feel NZ bowling and batting has not been tested yet. They are being tested right now

 

[hamzie]

maybe we can do the same to new zealand to make the semis

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Shaami.... Meri Jaan. Jiyo

 

[BouncerGuy]

Shami to Will Young and stumps rattled. Shami is straight away among wickets. New Zeland is 2 down now 19/2

 

[Saanji]

nz batsmen are playing with such uneasiness I don't get it. They somehow seem nervous.
Giving a false impression and going to clobber us in semis

 

[Abraham786]

New zealand in tatterers mashallah Shami bhai !

 

[ex-q-zit]

Boy oh boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lala gets a wicket off the 1st ball. NZ set to score below par this match.

 

[Sunzi]

Another thing can be Bumrah concedes very few runs that the batsmen try to score off Siraj and give wickets.

Hunting in pairs. That's a good thing.

But Siraj, like Waqar was, is good in his own right.

 

[ExpressPacer]

India bowling has been phenomenal.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

First ball of world cup and a wicket

 

[kron]

Bumrah nemesis is nz. He is hopeless vs them lol

 

[Sunzi]

Shami right on the money. Discipline >>>>>>>>>>>> phaaaaast bowling.

 

[Swashbuckler]

maybe we can do the same to new zealand to make the semis

Please do, Indo-Pak semis in Eden Gardens will be the biggest game since Mohali.

 

[kron]

And to think dumb kphli refused to play shami in 2019 world cup instead of bhuvi haha. Worst decision ever to cost them the title.

 

[Abraham786]

Shami bhai Got transplanted hair , Looking Young

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Bumrah nemesis is nz. He is hopeless vs them lol

Will take his hopeless bowling over phasssttt bowling any day

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

250 is par score?

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Bumrah nemesis is nz. He is hopeless vs them lol

He will improve that. Lol

 

[Swashbuckler]

Rachin is all class, will be hearing a lot about him in coming years.

 

[Sunzi]

Good shot.

 

[shah_1]

Depsite losing to Dutch. If SA doesn't choke and play at their best, they are the only team that can challenge India in this WC.

 

[Ahmed216]

Beautiful place and beautiful people, loads of Buddhist monastery and people. The seat of Dalai Lama.

Is this Himalayan region?

 

[kron]

He will improve that. Lol

For sure. A quality bowler like him cant be so good vs aus and eng and SA and then fail vs nz lol.

Look how he bounced back vs pakiatan after averaging 42 to now 29 or something.

 

[King_Babar]

Please do, Indo-Pak semis in Eden Gardens will be the biggest game since Mohali.

They have much bigger tasks to be worried about before getting a thought of Semi-Final. AFG will enter as favourites in tomorrows game.

 

[kron]

Is this Himalayan region?

I believe so. Upper North.looks terrific.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Is this Himalayan region?

Yeah, Himachal Pradesh

 

[kron]

Siraj 142.

 

[Sunzi]

I hope our coaching staff and bowlers are watching the analysis. Discipline. Discipline. Discipline. It's the only way.

 

[Mamoon]

Indian fast bowling has been miles better than Pakistani fast bowling for over 15 years now. Pakistan is just better at making noise.

 

[kron]

Latham and Mitchell. Take these 2 out and its game over. The other fellah are mostly Tullas

 

[kron]

Trying to decipher what sort of pitch this is.

Little more bounce. Some movement. But mostly flat?

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Come knock outs, India will once again choke.

 

[pratiktc]

NZ are a smart team. Even though they have conceded first PP they will look to use their lefties to disrupt spinners and reach close to par.

Unlikely that they will crack like Aus/Pak

 

[Sunzi]

145kph from Siraj.

 

[160KPH]

Trying to decipher what sort of pitch this is.

Little more bounce. Some movement. But mostly flat?

I’ve heard people say that apparently it swings under lights here.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Trying to decipher what sort of pitch this is.

Little more bounce. Some movement. But mostly flat?

Low bounce, no green patches. Ball is holding a bit before coming on the bat. The spinners would be happy.

 

[RehanG]

India are also lucky with tosses.

 

[Ahmed216]

Bumrah Siraj Shami Kuldeep is a terrific line up for any conditions all around the world

 

[Kaptan]

Kohli is in full badla mode.

 

[Smbhayi]

Shami bhai Got transplanted hair , Looking Young

Really? Not watching the match.. somebody here in pp did say shami should do it to selected again (to look young)..

 

[Abraham786]

Siraj consistently hitting 145-145+ now

 

[BouncerGuy]

After 10 overs, Kiwis have scored 34 runs for the loss of 2 wickets. Very slow for their liking.

 

[kron]

Indian fast bowling has been miles better than Pakistani fast bowling for over 15 years now. Pakistan is just better at making noise.

I would say they have the joint best bowling attack in the world in tests and odi along with SA.

 

[Asif321]

How did shardul keept selected ahead of shami and ashwin you better select a quality bowler than him .

 

[Abraham786]

Low bounce, no green patches. Ball is holding a bit before coming on the bat. The spinners would be happy.

Earlier was low bounce now getting Good bounce

 

[kron]

How did shardul keept selected ahead of shami and ashwin you better select a quality bowler than him .

B3cause have you seen their bat? They would get bowled for under 15 20 runs. 8 to 10 that is.

You need to be able to post 40 to 60 runs.

 

[Smbhayi]

Rachin is all class, will be hearing a lot about him in coming years.

Somewhere I heard that he's the son of owner of ICF forum.. is that true?

 

[Sunzi]

Snick. Reviewed.

 

[160KPH]

What was the sound? Definitely heard something in real time

 

[kron]

Indian against India. Haha. Interesting.

Amla used to do decently vs india in the past in tests.

 

[kron]

Wait? Shami got hair? Woaaaaaa lol. When? Transplant?

 

[160KPH]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen Jadeja drop a catch!

 

[Sunzi]

Shreyas leading for the fielding medal.

 

[kron]

2 lives for ravindra already.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was a dolly.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Jadeja might've as well dropped the match there. I don't want to chase too much on this 2 paced track and a set ravindra can damage you very quickly.

 

[Ahmed216]

That was first ever easy catch dropped I have seen from Jadeja

 

[ex-q-zit]

Whats happening in this WC? Now Jaddu out of all people drops a dolly.

 

[kron]

Loving the new shami look lol. Got hair back.

 

[Smbhayi]

B3cause have you seen their bat? They would get bowled for under 15 20 runs. 8 to 10 that is.

You need to be able to post 40 to 60 runs.

Their batting should be bonus, not mandatory.. if you compromise bowling for batting the opponent also score more (20-40 runs) so that extra bat won't be much help..

Always in awe of the beauty of this stadium. Marvelous .

If the shot was taken from the other end, it would have caught the snow covered Shivalik mountain ranges, thats also spectacular

 

[Abraham786]

Wait? Shami got hair? Woaaaaaa lol. When? Transplant?

He did a few month's ago

 

[RexRex]

Loving the new shami look lol. Got hair back.

Looks like he had a FUE transplant. Everybody does it these days.

 

[sindhiboy]

Ravindra is in the groove now
