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

[CrIc_Mystique]

Is this Himalayan region?

Yes, state of Himachal pradesh with the Dhauladhar and Shivalik mountain ranges in the background. Some awesome treks, waterfalls et all here

 

[Ahmed216]

Mitchell ganja lines up Shami

 

[Devadwal]

Man how can Jadeja dropped a simple catch? Now they are on attacking mode .

 

[Ahmed216]

Ravindra is in the groove now

Seems like someone who likes to dominates. Look at that front foot stride towards the bowler. And Pak batsmen they are always play back struck in the crease. Shows their defensive mindset

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Daryl Mitchell is the most improved cricketer in the last 18 months. Very underrated. Has grown in stature and Takes responsibility all the time. Has become the backbone of NZ's middle order. Can shift gears effortlessly.

 

[Devadwal]

Need a wicket to take the full control of the game .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball not turning one bit. Seam.swing gone.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Yes, this time shreyas will get it. Last time it was won by jadeja

Jadeja not getting it after the dropped catch.

 

[mominsaigol]

Need a wicket to take the full control of the game .

Naw, NZ my jam, your team gonna get 2019 semi final nightmares

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Today my FC team looks like an Indian 11 lol

 

[Devadwal]

Naw, NZ my jam, your team gonna get 2019 semi final nightmares

No chance .we are going to win this time

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Ravindra vs Jadeja

 

[ex-q-zit]

Naw, NZ my jam, your team gonna get 2019 semi final nightmares

Dont think so. That team didn't have Gill, Siraj, Shami, kuldeep, Shreyas, SKY to carry that baggage into this match.

 

[vodafone_lover]

No chance .we are going to win this time

We are winning this

 

[mominsaigol]

Dont think so. That team didn't have Gill, Siraj, Shami, kuldeep, Shreyas, SKY to carry that baggage into this match.

2023 NZ >>>>>>>>>>> 2019 NZ lol.

Although current India is also > 2019 India by miles.

 

[Ahmed216]

Not much grip for spinners

 

[mominsaigol]

No chance .we are going to win this time

All that's gonna happen is another semi final or final chock .

India is Cursed broskie.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Dont think so. That team didn't have Gill, Siraj, Shami, kuldeep, Shreyas, SKY to carry that baggage into this match.

More importantly Rohit, Virat and KL are there ... Though they are experienced enough to have overcome that and more importantly this is not a ko match.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Daryl Mitchell along with Devon Conway are equally good in all three formats of the game. Both are so underrated, especially Mitchell as he don't play IPL.

 

[Devadwal]

All that's gonna happen is another semi final or final chock .

India is Cursed broskie.

Wait and watch .this is our world cup .only threat is England but they are not reaching to semifinals.

 

[Devadwal]

Rachin is playing agressive cricket

 

[mominsaigol]

Wait and watch .this is our world cup .only threat is England but they are not reaching to semifinals.

How is England a threat lol? Their playing with a has been team just like aus.

Sa, NZ and India are the strongest in the tournament. In terms of strength its

India > NZ > SA

But India and SA carry the choke tag, NZ doesn't. NZ does carry the worlds worst luck tag though

 

[Abraham786]

Watch today kuldeep will get whacked I told yesterday Zampa is better , Kuldeep is bit hyped but no one was believing

 

[Ahmed216]

They are targetting kuldeep. That is a brave strategy to adopt

 

[ex-q-zit]

No chance .we are going to win this time

20 overs of spin by NZ which will decide the outcome of the match. If India survive the initial PP with minimal damaga then I dont see rachin, Chapman, Glenn doing much damage apart from santner.

 

[BouncerGuy]

After 19 overs, New Zealand is 90/2. Good partnership building between Rachin and Mitchell.

 

[jattafridi]

Wow 6

 

[jnaveen1980]

There is no turn at all. You can just hit through the line against any bowler

 

[jattafridi]

my New Zealand playing so good

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

Tbh
Jadeja is better than kuldeep
He bowls good at any pitch
Kuldeep needs help from the pitch.

 

[160KPH]

Looks like they’ve made the decision to target the spin.. guess this is where India might just miss the extra bowling options they have with Hardik in the team and Hardik accommodating Thakur

 

[Sunzi]

Rohit carrying a lot of weight.

 

[globetrotter]

Bring back pacers

 

[Ali Active]

Nz on top as of now

 

[160KPH]

Feels like Daryl Mitchell doesn’t get talked much in discussion about great ODI batsmen but he’s complete class

 

[Devadwal]

How is England a threat lol? Their playing with a has been team just like aus.

Sa, NZ and India are the strongest in the tournament. In terms of strength its

India > NZ > SA

But India and SA carry the choke tag, NZ doesn't. NZ does carry the worlds worst luck tag though

You will not understand .wait and watch when Pakistan play against England .
England on their day can destroy any team . they are playing wrong line up and butler Captioncy is like Babar Azam .
But as an Indian fan I'm happy that they are not reaching in semi .

 

[globetrotter]

Dropped catch proving costly

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Hope our 5 bowler strategy wont backfire.
i posted before toss that Ash for kulli and shami for thakur wouldhave been better.
I suppose team mgmt feel whatever they score we will hunt it down.
Just need string together dots and field like maniacs.
Can't still believe Jadzaaa put that one down!

 

[mominsaigol]

In terms of proper team ranking this tournament its

1) India
2) NZ
3) SA
4) Aus
5) England
6) Pakistan
7) Sri Lanka
8) Afghanistan
9) Bangladesh
10) Nedtherlands

Don't quote me on Nedtherlands beating sa and afg beating England. Weaker teams can beat stronger teams but this is the definitive ranking lol.

 

[Devadwal]

20 overs of spin by NZ which will decide the outcome of the match. If India survive the initial PP with minimal damaga then I dont see rachin, Chapman, Glenn doing much damage apart from santner.

Yes we need to survive first 5 over .then we can Chase anything close to 300

 

[ex-q-zit]

How is England a threat lol? Their playing with a has been team just like aus.

Sa, NZ and India are the strongest in the tournament. In terms of strength its

India > NZ > SA

But India and SA carry the choke tag, NZ doesn't. NZ does carry the worlds worst luck tag though

You must be kidding me. NZ lost 2 consecutive WC finals. 1 SF and Finals apeice in t20 WCs but they are not chokers? India loses in semis and becomes chokers. I think all 3 teams are not able to take the final leap in Knockouts.

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

Rohit carrying a lot of weight.

Carrying since 2018
If i am not wrong
But does it matter?
I mean his performance matters and it never dropped.
With this belly he scored so many test runs since becoming an opener

 

[IAJ]

Who is India’s sixth bowler? Might need him today

 

[160KPH]

Class yaar, risk free attacking Kuldeep

 

[mominsaigol]

You will not understand .wait and watch when Pakistan play against England .
England on their day can destroy any team . they are playing wrong line up and butler Captioncy is like Babar Azam .
But as an Indian fan I'm happy that they are not reaching in semi .

England is > Pakistan I agree. Brother why would I take offence to you saying eng > Pakistan . I ain't delusional like others.

But England need toothless bowling like pakistan's to bazzball .

Their getting cremated by NZ, Sa and India lol even aus if stark, Hazelwood and zampa are on song that day.

 

[Ahmed216]

Mitchell is serious hitter down the ground

 

[160KPH]

You must be kidding me. NZ lost 2 consecutive WC finals. 1 SF and Finals apeice in t20 WCs but they are not chokers? India loses in semis and becomes chokers. I think all 3 teams are not able to take the final leap in Knockouts.

One thing is that New Zealand massively outperform what’s expected them in every tournament. Outside of tournaments they’re one of those mid level teams yet they always find themselves in the final or semi final.

 

[Sunzi]

Good to see Kuldeep getting pumped, but I want an Indian win for Pak chances.

 

[sindhiboy]

kuldeep being taken to the cleaners

 

[vodafone_lover]

Great shots, well played both of them.

I want them to put India under pressure before the knockout stage, much needed for the preparation ahead !!

 

[kron]

Kuldeep will be targeted from now on.

If he gets attacked he goes into a shell.
Mentally fragile player.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Who is India’s sixth bowler? Might need him today

No one. If Kohli, Rohit, Gill or SKY will bowl they will concede 20 runs per over.

 

[Devadwal]

They are attacking kuldeep but no worry he will take 2 wicket

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is nothing but think tank work of NZ. They know India has only 5 bowlers. They have been told to take atleast one bowler.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Rohit carrying a lot of weight.

Yeah.
does'nt look like he turned down too many 2nd helpings of Vada Pav, Mumbai ragda-pattis or Pune Sev-Missal in the off time before the WC ...

but he takes catches, is switched on when captaining and sends some wowitzers into the crowd - which matters than looking chiselled and being a dud....

 

[160KPH]

Kuldeep will be targeted from now on.

If he gets attacked he goes into a shell.
Mentally fragile player.

Feel that this is so true of many spinners, if you put them on the back foot you can dominate them. But if you let them settle they will cut the run rate and choke your team to death until you get a ball that does something a bit different and gets the wicket.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Who is India’s sixth bowler? Might need him today

No one...
or take your pick between virat or rohit...
the rest i have never seen bowling...

 

[Thanos]

What a big difference.
Other teams go into shell after 2 wickets and play defensive cricket. These guys are just charging down the track and hitting sixes.

 

[mominsaigol]

You must be kidding me. NZ lost 2 consecutive WC finals. 1 SF and Finals apeice in t20 WCs but they are not chokers? India loses in semis and becomes chokers. I think all 3 teams are not able to take the final leap in Knockouts.

Calm down bro lol, read what I said.

NZ carries the worlds worst luck tag, and only really chocked in 2015.

India chocking is a tradition. In 2017 despite 4 early breakthroughs, they could have recovered against Pakistan but Dhoni got out on a nothing delivery, Pandya's nonsense run out, Bumrah's no ball etc.

Same with their semi final against West indies in the t20 world cup, ashwin was the pinnacle of chocking that day.

Kohli chocked against England last year. 50 of 44 was a horrible innings and india's fielding was beyond hilarious when Hales and butler were butchering them lol.

NZ loses but thats not a chock, what happened in 2019 wasn't a chock, its the epitome of bad luck. Only one catch going for a 6 was the chock, NZ shpuld have won that, no one could have predicted the defelection lol

 

[160KPH]

Yeah.
does'nt look like he turned down too many 2nd helpings of Vada Pav, Mumbai ragda-pattis or Pune Sev-Missal in the off time before the WC ...

but he takes catches, is switched on when captaining and sends some wowitzers into the crowd - which matters than looking chiselled and being a dud....

Maybe the extra weight helps him pull the ball for 6… still never seen anything like his pull shot, pure brutality

 

[ex-q-zit]

One thing is that New Zealand massively outperform what’s expected them in every tournament. Outside of tournaments they’re one of those mid level teams yet they always find themselves in the final or semi final.

I agree that they become a completely diufferent team in multi team events but are still not able to take the last step towards the holy grail just like India fails in semis or finals. Both are chokers is my point.

 

[jattafridi]

New Zealand I want 272

 

[Devadwal]

Bring back bumrah for 2 over .

 

[kron]

They are attacking kuldeep but no worry he will take 2 wicket

No he won't. He goes into a shell as soon as he is attacked.
Brainless Pakistan batsmen can't play attacking shots. Sa and nz look ok on flat pattas vs spin.

 

[Ahmed216]

Rachin is here to stay. Seriously good batting approach.
A technique suited to modern game

 

[ex-q-zit]

Calm down bro lol, read what I said.

And what happened in 2021 & 2022 WCs?

 

[Devadwal]

No he won't. He goes into a shell as soon as he is attacked.
Brainless Pakistan batsmen can't play attacking shots. Sa and nz look ok on flat pattas vs spin.

I think you're just start watching cricket .any bowler can go run for one of the match .

 

[jnaveen1980]

India should massacre Glen philips today.

 

[MP2011]

Such a expensive drop that was!

 

[Srinath_cricket]

I don't like Herschelle gibbs type of premature celebration and fielding medal cringe. I believe jadeja dropped the catch out of over excitement and fielding medal drama. Put your head down and concentrate on your work. I hope he gets thrown under the bus by Rohit if we lose this today.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Stupid pitch. No turn at all. Even basic turn is not there. I ndia should go after Ravindra and Philips.

 

[MP2011]

We'd surely be chasing 330+

 

[IAJ]

Taking too many doubles here

 

[Devadwal]

Today's our fielding is like Pakistan

 

[MP2011]

Poor fielding from Sky

 

[IAJ]

Sloppy from Indians

 

[kron]

I think you're just start watching cricket .any bowler can go run for one of the match .

I think Indians themselves have no idea about what type of bowler kuldeep is.

Bhaiyya this isn't the first time I have seen him get blasted. Many times. Even in 2019. Moment he gets attacked he cowers and goes into a shell.

 

[Ali Active]

Why did nz turn down that run

 

[ex-q-zit]

So many 2s are being taken. I thought this is a relatively smaller ground like Chinnaswamy and wankhede. No wonder Kohli has a avg of over 100 on this ground.

 

[IAJ]

tight double
