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

[160KPH]

Horrendous feeling today by India

 

[kron]

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

Check betting lines. Maybe tipping favours nz lol.

 

[mrtaim3]

This worldcup has seen one of the poorest umpiring. This looked outside leg on real time. Probably umpire thought he would give India a breakthrough with a marginal umpires call

 

[mominsaigol]

India chocking lol, NZ a mental block for india every world cup

 

[jnaveen1980]

Run outs missed. Catches dropped. Very sloppy

 

[Sunzi]

Good running.

 

[jnaveen1980]

You know Pakistan had more runs at this stage Ahmedabad lol 155/2

 

[kron]

Mental midget. Mentally weak attitude.
Mental block
All are real. This is real.

India losing the plot haha

 

[kron]

Mitchell dropped

Difficult chance to be honest.

 

[BouncerGuy]

After 30 overs, New Zeland is 147/2. Some good shots and dropped catches proving beneficial for Kiwis here.

 

[Devadwal]

Another dropped .

 

[gani999]

According to an excellent analysis by Wasim Akram, only India and NZ are playing proper 50 over cricket in this tournament. All others are slopping around in T20 mode and losing their way.

 

[RexRex]

India are NZ's bunnies. Time for us to accept.

 

[Rana]

Solid cricket match

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

You know Pakistan had more runs at this stage Ahmedabad lol 155/2

They were actually going good
Even though there was more turn for kuldeep than this.
Only if Babar had played for 10 overs more result would have been different

 

[SalimBhai]

Difficult chance to be honest.

Kiwis kit to pick up. This is. 320 wicker

 

[ex-q-zit]

Mental midget. Mentally weak attitude.
Mental block
All are real. This is real.

India losing the plot haha

I shall reply to this in 5 hours from now.

 

[mominsaigol]

Solid cricket match

This is what happens when 2 world class teams play

 

[Abraham786]

What's wrong with those horns

 

[160KPH]

Looks like it’ll come down to how effective Shami and Bumrah are

 

[SalimBhai]

Great game so far

 

[vprasanna83]

These Kiwis seem to have no problems with Kuldeep .

Using their feet well

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Hate when India plays at Pakistan level.

 

[160KPH]

Kuldeep bowling garbage today

 

[Ali Active]

You know Pakistan had more runs at this stage Ahmedabad lol 155/2

Yeah pitch slowed down after that.

 

[MP2011]

Another 6 off Kuldeep

 

[vprasanna83]

Kuldeep bowling garbage today

Not really . They are playing the way he should be played

 

[160KPH]

I think Bumrah and Shami will be able to get this under controls still when they return. If they can’t then a really high score is truly on

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kuldeep should be bowling from other end.

 

[kron]

Lol loldeep hahahahh

Loldeep got brutally dispatched.

Like I said. Once he gets attacked he gets obliterated. He goes into a shell.

 

[TheSultan]

Masterful stuff - taking India’s main weapon out

 

[ex-q-zit]

with India in a comfortable position in the points table i would want them to chase a total over 325 to get used to chasing huge totals considering they have chased modest totals so far.

 

[Sunzi]

This is good proactive batting - punishing the drops aswell.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Because of lack of turn Mitchell is playing kuldeep is being played as a seam bowler.

 

[shah_1]

Beautiful batting

Batting masterclass against Kuldeep. Use the crease well, stepped up when needed whereas Pakistani batsmen batted like cowards against Kuldeep.

 

[kron]

If panyda was here maybe india would have had a few more wickets.

Loldeep haha.

Rohits face priceless. Gets flustered so easy. Need more vada pav?

 

[Srinath_cricket]

These Kiwis seem to have no problems with Kuldeep .

Using their feet well

All dependent on nature of the track and the size of the boundaries. Change it to lucknow and kiwis are dancing on their toes to our spinners.

 

[Rana]

Proper batsman is Daryl Mitchell

He turns up for NZ in icc tournaments!

 

[160KPH]

Everyone was trolling about Rauf’s century being on, seems Kuldeep’s century could be on today!

 

[mominsaigol]

Masterful stuff - taking India’s main weapon out

NZ has always been a world class team and always goes underrated in every cup.

Their the mentally strongest team, the smartest team and 2nd Strongest on paper behind India.

World class unit and extremely balanced. They don't collapse if you drop their catches, they'll make you pay.

This is why their my favourite team and always in my fantasy league

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

If panyda was here maybe india would have had a few more wickets.

Loldeep haha.

Rohits face priceless. Gets flustered so easy. Need more vada pav?

You just love naming people don't you.

 

[kron]

Haha priceless. Rohit. So frustrated. You ever see Latham or Kane get frustrated? Lol.

 

[shah_1]

Indian batsmen will finally be tested, will be a great test. Chase master Kohli vs Kiwis

 

[MP2011]

Damn you Jadeja

 

[SalimBhai]

What a shot

 

[vprasanna83]

Rachin you beauty

 

[160KPH]

Honestly I may have to take back some of my words.. Indian bowling did create some chances but fielding has failed to take advantage of it

 

[kron]

Smasheddddd

 

[Ali Active]

Pakistan was in similar positon but that partneship had literally zero momentum. and it was like pressure was always on this is why sixes are important in partneships it eases the pressure

 

[Srinath_cricket]

This worldcup has seen one of the poorest umpiring. This looked outside leg on real time. Probably umpire thought he would give India a breakthrough with a marginal umpires call

Yup, the same way umpire saved babar from kuldeep the other day, just so he could statpad to a rare 50 against india.

 

[kron]

Mental midget. Mental block. It's real.

 

[160KPH]

Pakistan was cruising, the issue is the middle order collapsed. New Zealand’s middle order won’t collapse.

 

[Sunzi]

Everyone was trolling about Rauf’s century being on, seems Kuldeep’s century could be on today!

And Babar and Rizwan's SRs - both NZers are still batting at less than 100SR and that's with a plethora of boundaries, including forcefully hit boundaries.

 

[vprasanna83]

Rachin is India’s contribution to NZ batting

 

[Ali Active]

No they played singles and dots alot they didn’t attack bowlers instead waited for just bad bowls

 

[shah_1]

Pakistan was cruising, the issue is the middle order collapsed. New Zealand’s middle order won’t collapse.

They batted like kitten against spin, no stepping up against spin, stayed inside the crease. Completely different approach to Kiwis

 

[vprasanna83]

They were soft . We always thought if we got one , a few would follow .

These NZ boys are putting us on the Backfoot

 

[kron]

Rachin is India’s contribution to NZ batting

And they are very thankful for the drops as well.

South african expats too.

 

[kron]

Lol rohit sharma fielding.

 

[SalimBhai]

And they are very thankful for the drops as well.

South african expats too.

Kiwis need to pick up the pace. Still 30 runs short.

 

[vprasanna83]

Cmon get Bumrah on . We need some magic

 

[daytrader]

Completes Jadeja's quota of overs within 30 overs of the innings. Great captaincy by Rohit

 

[FearlessRoar]

Rachin Ravindra (74*) and Daryl Mitchell (69*) have put on a wonderful stand for the third wicket to lay a great platform for New Zealand to accelerate and post a testing target.

New Zealand 167/2 (32 ov)

 

[jnaveen1980]

India has nothing to lose here. India can take it easy in 10 overs and see how it goes. NZ is going in at 5.26. For 32 overs going at this rate is not hard. Let us not forget NZ has even more woeful back up bowlers.

 

[kron]

Cmon get Bumrah on . We need some magic

Bumrah is bad vs nz. One team he can't handle.

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ entirely depend on BOult and Henry.

 

[160KPH]

They batted like kitten against spin, no stepping up against spin, stayed inside the crease. Completely different approach to Kiwis

They were so timid.. that they had almost the exact same score that New Zealand had by the 30th over before the collapse happened.

 

[kron]

Thing is Indian batsmen can't survive vs boult and Henry. If they break the backbone of top 3 then it's over.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

People need to stop being happy/sad (depends on whether you're a pak/ind fan) NZ are still just 167-2 after 32 overs on a deck that has not too many demons and short boundaries. Let both sides complete batting and then we'll reserve our judgement.

 

[kron]

They batted like kitten against spin, no stepping up against spin, stayed inside the crease. Completely different approach to Kiwis

Lol Kuldeep is not even hard to play. Attack that guy and he cowers like a coward.

 

[Ali Active]

iam sensing indian defeat here . boult might run through top 3

 

[160KPH]

And Babar and Rizwan's SRs - both NZers are still batting at less than 100SR and that's with a plethora of boundaries, including forcefully hit boundaries.

People are too infatuated with the Baz ball type approach. Against bowling sometimes you need to play quality cricket where you accelerate through the innings.

 

[vprasanna83]

Bumrah is bad vs nz. One team he can't handle.

Haha not really . Too little data there and no real good reasons why it should be

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Mental midget. Mental block. It's real.

Let's wait till both sides have batted. NZ are not 300/2 after 32 overs lol. They're still 167/2.

 

[kron]

Mental block as soon as they face nz they drop catches too loool. At the too level, mental fortitude can take you a long way.

 

[vprasanna83]

The ball is going to move around tonight for sure . Will be fun to watch India batting .

 

[FearlessRoar]

Ravindra Jadeja hardly gave any room to the New Zealand batters.

 

[kron]

Wtc

Haha not really . Too little data there and no real good reasons why it should be

Wtc he failed.
In nz he averaged 29 30?
In 2019 he did ok.
That's all I remember.

 

[Ali Active]

another drop
india doing pakistan

 

[Sunzi]

People are too infatuated with the Baz ball type approach. Against bowling sometimes you need to play quality cricket where you accelerate through the innings.

I do think that whilst they batted well, they did allow pressure to build on themselves which transferred to the incoming batters.

That said, it wasn't as bad as everyone made out. The new batters bad a platform to work with - they were also responsible for falling apart.
