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

[sindhiboy]

this is excellent running

 

[kron]

That's why you don't drop catches on flatter wickets.
Lesson for Pakistan and India.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fielding is getting sloppier.

 

[Devadwal]

We'd surely be chasing 330+

Yes and it is chaseable score if we can start well .

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Kuldeep will be targeted from now on.

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

You can do hardly anything on this type of deck where there's no spin and backyard sized boundaries. To his credit I'd say he is still flighting it up and bowling it slow. Mitchell is using his long reach beautifully.

It was jadeja who threw the team under the bus out of over excitement.

 

[Ali Active]

what is that horn in BG so irritating

 

[MP2011]

Yes and it is chaseable score if we can start well .

Yeah. And lot will depend on Sky too. Today is the time for him to leave his imprint on ODI cricket too

 

[Devadwal]

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.

Ok .we know better than anyone about our players

 

[Sunzi]

NZ playing good cricket. Doing the basics right. Running hard when the boundaries aren't on. Forcing the tempo, rather than just have the bowler dictate to them. Good stuff.

 

[SalimBhai]

Sloppy from Indians

This is a 320 pitch. New Zealand are 30 runs behind

 

[ex-q-zit]

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.

I agree. When attackd Kuldeep does seem to succumb to pressure. It was teh same case when he played in IPL too.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

This is how champions play
Great comeback from Newzealand after two early wickets. Im sure India will also make a comeback like this later in the game.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

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

Apart from Rohit and Iyer, I don't see anyone going after them. Maybe Gill can do. I don't trust SKY if it comes for him to rescue the team. Kohli will score a boundary and then put 3 dots.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They have realized this pitch has nothing. To this Indian line up with 3 main bowlers NZ will want to give above par total

 

[kron]

Does it lesson the pain that ravindra is doing the damage to Indians ? Lel

What champion. Anda titles. Just one farcical wtc title which means nothing really.
they never won any world cup.

 

[SalimBhai]

New Zealand need to pick up here.

 

[dravidthewall]

True number 1 and number 2 fight

 

[mominsaigol]

And what happened in 2021 & 2022 WCs?

Neither were chockes, just horrible performances especially from guptill

By chock I don't mean bad performances. I mean when the game is in hand India throw it away.

Dhoni played a beyond brainless innings in the seminfinal, a bit of aggression and he'd have taken The team over the line in 2019.

Chocking refers to losing from either a winning or balanced position.

2017 wasn't a completly out of hand situation given the way pandya was batting, Jadeja or Dhoni needed to just stick in their, but Dhoni gave his wicket away.

Same way 2022 wc wasn't put of hand. Kohli shpuld have taken the team to 200, and chasing 200 is far more taxing then 170, so England would have more pressure then 170 on a phata track lol.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Does it lesson the pain that ravindra is doing the damage to Indians ? Lel

Things happen. India has to continue working on fieldling

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Does it lesson the pain that ravindra is doing the damage to Indians ? Lel

Lol it doesn't. If we don't lose wickets in the powerplay I hope he is blasted for >20 runs with 2 sixes going outside the stadium. Just so to slap his confidence for the tournament.

 

[kron]

Smashedddddd

Haha look on rohits face.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India should back themselves to chase a nything here. Just 10 tough overs to face. If they survive they can do.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Does it lesson the pain that ravindra is doing the damage to Indians ? Lel

why should it or anything lessen or increase 'pain to indians'....i mean he is there to win for his side, so is the opposition...if anything, its increaed the sunshine at your end

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Lol it doesn't. If we don't lose wickets in the powerplay I hope he is blasted for >20 runs with 2 sixes going outside the stadium. Just so to slap his confidence for the tournament.

In his first over, I mean.

 

[160KPH]

India should back themselves to chase a nything here. Just 10 tough overs to face. If they survive they can do.

The issue is that Boult might take 5 in those 10 overs lol

 

[SalimBhai]

why should it or anything lessen or increase 'pain to indians'....i mean he is there to win for his side, so is the opposition...if anything, its increaed the sunshine at your end

Kiwis need to pick it up. They are 30 runs behind

 

[MP2011]

Thankfully, team management saw the light and booted Thakur out of today's XI. I can only imagine what kind of runs he'd have conceded today.

 

[SalimBhai]

Kiwis need to pick it up. They are 30 runs behind

Ross Taylor talking sense

 

[Abraham786]

I agree. When attackd Kuldeep does seem to succumb to pressure. It was teh same case when he played in IPL too.

I told same ,Zampa don't fear to get attacked ,Zampa by far best spinner I said it yesterday too.

 

[kron]

Lol it doesn't. If we don't lose wickets in the powerplay I hope he is blasted for >20 runs with 2 sixes going outside the stadium. Just so to slap his confidence for the tournament.

Same mentality i have. If I see a Pakistani origin player in the opponents team he is definitely a enemy without question. Annoyingly most have this in built rage to prove their worth against the country their ancestors cane from.

 

[globetrotter]

Badly missing Hardik

 

[Devadwal]

One thing is also favour India here is dew becouse unlike other ground ,here dew effect start just when 2nd innings starting ,

 

[BouncerGuy]

This Mitchell guy is very dangerous. He scores heavily under the radar.

 

[jnaveen1980]

So far they are still going under 5 run rate

 

[ex-q-zit]

Apart from Rohit and Iyer, I don't see anyone going after them. Maybe Gill can do. I don't trust SKY if it comes for him to rescue the team. Kohli will score a boundary and then put 3 dots.

You need to understand the roles. rohit is the enforcer who will provide the quick start for the middle order to encash while Kohli's role is to anchor the innings and finish it. you will see a lot of 2s and 1s from Kohli here if he plays a longer innings.

 

[IAJ]

This is a 320 pitch. New Zealand are 30 runs behind

Well with set batsmen and wickets in hand that is achievable.

 

[Ahmed216]

Good phase for India. Something about to happen a few boundaries or a wicket

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Mitchell guy is very dangerous. He scores heavily under the radar.

He bats like this in Test matches too. Only guy who boldly countered bazball with great series. Blundell supported him.

 

[SalimBhai]

Those damn horns

 

[Devadwal]

So far they are still going under 5 run rate

And people's are celebrating here like they are going at 7RPO

 

[kron]

Seems like nothing in the pitch.

 

[mominsaigol]

@Devadwal

My team is gonna crush you .

Don't mess with them NZ boys. Remember their my neighbours. They'll do what aus can't in this tourney

 

[kron]

And people's are celebrating here like they are going at 7RPO

Your top 3 will have to play nemesis boult though

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

What champion. Anda titles. Just one farcical wtc title which means nothing really.
they never won any world cup.

Did they lost 2019 world cup final?

 

[SalimBhai]

And people's are celebrating here like they are going at 7RPO

Ok mitchel. Pick up the pace. Taylor spoke very well

 

[globetrotter]

we want 2 wkts quickly else NZ heading for 300

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Siraj is finally bowling well. He is showing the way to the others with the 'hit the deck' cutter sort of deliveries.

 

[TheSultan]

Love the way those kiwis are going after the spinners

 

[ex-q-zit]

Neither were chockes, just horrible performances especially from guptill

By chock I don't mean bad performances. I mean when the game is in hand India throw it away.

You say horrible perfoemnace by Guptill and brainless innings by Dhoni yet only 1 team is choker. I am not saying India doesn't choke but saying NZ does too. Lets just agree to disagree.

 

[Ahmed216]

There you go. Mitchell goes big

 

[160KPH]

Down the ground for 6 against the spinners over and over again

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

No wonder why jadeja called Sanjay manjrekar 'verbal diarrhoea '
The moment he praised jadeja
Mitchell hit him for a six

 

[Ahmed216]

Finally jadeja gets one to grip

 

[ex-q-zit]

I told same ,Zampa don't fear to get attacked ,Zampa by far best spinner I said it yesterday too.

I feel pakistan gifted their wickets to Zampa than him bowling good.

 

[MMHS]

Instead of two “all-rounders”, this is actually better combination for IND - SKY might be a bit hit or miss, but Shami’s 10 overs are solid.

 

[Devadwal]

Your top 3 will have to play nemesis boult though

You were said same thing about Shaheen . Rest is history

 

[Ahmed216]

Down the ground for 6 against the spinners over and over again

Mitchell speciality

 

[jnaveen1980]

Love the way those kiwis are going after the spinners

On a wicket which offers zero turn they should be able to do. Last year with slight turn they got rolled over for 99 runs

 

[Srinath_cricket]

You need to understand the roles. rohit is the enforcer who will provide the quick start for the middle order to encash while Kohli's role is to anchor the innings and finish it. you will see a lot of 2s and 1s from Kohli here if he plays a longer innings.

I understand... But against bowlers of such calibre you always have to ready yourself up for those poor deliveries just so that their fast bowlers have no rest. We gave Moeen Ali sort of bowlers too much respect in the past and faltered in the process. Should put them in their place. Ofc, no blind hitting, but they'll anyway give you 2-3 bad balls every over which you need to smash.

 

[kron]

Did they lost 2019 world cup final?

They shouldn't have even gone through. It was a fluke on a 2 day game.

Also the final they theoretically lost.

 

[Romali_rotti]

It is safe to say that NZ may win this match, Indians have a mental block vs NZ.

 

[mominsaigol]

You say horrible perfoemnace by Guptill and brainless innings by Dhoni yet only 1 team is choker. I am not saying India doesn't choke but saying NZ does too. Lets just agree to disagree.

Had Dhoni performed and played aggressively India would have won.

Had guptil performed and didn't play slow, Theirs still no guarantee NZ would win because aus batting was , and their would be too many what ifs.

It's not like it was hard. Dhoni's done it many times and even a 115SR would have been enough to get the job done

 

[Abraham786]

What champion. Anda titles. Just one farcical wtc title which means nothing really.
they never won any world cup.

I don't know why you do much bragging man you don't rate anyone someone mental fragile , others are chokers , Newzealander are nothing

Learn to respect these newzealander doing far better than Paksitan and india in worldcup and they aren't more than a state population of Paksitan and india. yOu have all rights of bragging if your team Australian not when It's Pakistan.

 

[ex-q-zit]

They shouldn't have even gone through. It was a fluke on a 2 day game.

Also the final they theoretically lost.

Man, I am surprised we both are thinking so alike today.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

One thing is also favour India here is dew becouse unlike other ground ,here dew effect start just when 2nd innings starting ,

yes, rohit said that @ the toss, dew will be a factor . hence why we need to string some dots, have some despo fielding and use the extra batting muscle to hunt down whatever they get

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Thankfully, team management saw the light and booted Thakur out of today's XI. I can only imagine what kind of runs he'd have conceded today.

Thakur is giving >100 on this pitch. Thank god brother, the management woke up.

 

[kron]

Gone outstanding bowling by Siraj

 

[Sunzi]

Maybe outside leg

 

[kron]

I don't know why you do much bragging man you don't rate anyone someone mental fragile , others are chokers , Newzealander are nothing

Learn to respect these newzealander doing far better than Paksitan and india in worldcup and they aren't more than a state population of Paksitan and india. yOu have all rights of bragging if your team Australian not when It's Pakistan.

0 titles in odi and t20. Yea they need to sit down. Talk when they win.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Outside the leg? WTH. More than half the ball inside

 

[Ahmed216]

Good bowling Miyan

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ravindra probably woke up in the face of wolf lol

 

[vprasanna83]

Rachin Ravindra - Watch out for this guy .

 

[MP2011]

Great fielding by Siraj

 

[kron]

Not out. Reaching lucky boy. Indian luck maybe

 

[MP2011]

Rahul drops one

 

[ex-q-zit]

Although they have stitched a nice partnership considering how good the pitch is playing they are atleast 20-30 runs short at this point.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mitchell dropped

 

[Sunzi]

Dropped.
