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

[ex-q-zit]

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

Kuldeep has been way better than rauf. he looks like picking a wicket once in a while while Rauf went for 60 in his first 4 overs.

As I type another catch goes down.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Another dolly dropped. He created a chance brilliantly.

 

[160KPH]

another drop
india doing pakistan

Nah at this point it’s worse than Pakistan lmao

 

[vprasanna83]

Goodness !! Another drop !!!!

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol who the **** fields Bumrah in long off?

 

[dravidthewall]

Reaching ravindra is better than babar azaam

 

[kron]

Hahahaha mental block.
This is exactly what that is. India are phinnished.

 

[kingusama92]

Looks like Indian fielders have been watching too many Pakistan matches. Brutal stuff.

 

[160KPH]

When was the last time Indian fielding was this bad? It must’ve been years ago?? Are they truly just terrified of playing New Zealand? I don’t understand

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kuldeep didn't bowl bad. They took so much chances by coming down thte wicket. On this wicket it is possible. But now he has adjusted his pace. Created a chance

 

[kron]

Yea I am going to have to say indian aren't favourites after this.

Nz are chokers too.

So perhaps aus again to win it.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Dont know what adjectives to use to describe the fielding so far. You cannot win the WC with such performance.

 

[160KPH]

Also surprised they didn’t give a couple Bumrah overs like they did against Pakistan to see if he can induce a collapse

 

[Sunzi]

Hahahaha mental block.
This is exactly what that is. India are phinnished.

Nah. Pak conspiracy theorists speculating that India throwing the game to eliminate Pak

 

[Devadwal]

Another dropped .man we are really under pressure

 

[Srinath_cricket]

The team should be made to run 20 rounds around the ground for the fielding effort today, with the fielding coach running 10 times, himself. What a bunch of pathetic dumbheads.

 

[mominsaigol]

Another dropped .man we are really under pressure

Still no 1? BOW DOWN TO MY NZ OVERLORDS

 

[160KPH]

Would be hilarious if India peaked too early and up getting hammered by England and South Africa lmao

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ravindra is uber lucky today lol Another edged 4

 

[FearlessRoar]

Lol

 

[Smbhayi]

Should have been stopped that four.. poor fielding once again by Bumrah..

 

[Ali Active]

finally one taken

 

[Devadwal]

Still no 1? BOW DOWN TO MY NZ OVERLORDS

Yes we are going to win

 

[jnaveen1980]

Finally a wicket. Ravindra's lucky innings ends

 

[Smbhayi]

Finally catches taken (by gill).. Shami's 2nd wicket..

 

[Sunzi]

Feeble attempt by Bumrah to prevent that.

If the outfield isn't fit for play, why use the ground?

 

[globetrotter]

Worst fielding of the year by India

 

[ex-q-zit]

Good God. atleast it went to the safest fielder on the ground.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

I shall reply to this in 5 hours from now.

Kron's inner Pakistani is coming out, lol.

 

[kron]

Omg they caught it lol. For once. Mental midgets caught one

 

[shah_1]

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

There is a difference of opinion. I was watching a different match

 

[ex-q-zit]

Feeble attempt by Bumrah to prevent that.

If the outfield isn't fit for play, why use the ground?

Because Anurag Thakur the sports minister wanted to have his home venue as one of venues for the WC.

 

[kron]

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

It's funny though how much mental side of things can affect the game though. People just don't realize it. Until this game they had almost no drops. Now 4 in one game. 3 or 4.

 

[shah_1]

Collapse incoming

 

[jnaveen1980]

On a day when India doesn't have pandya we get a pitch like this. No help for spinners

 

[globetrotter]

Finally catch taken cheers

 

[Devadwal]

Today is gill day . watch out for another century from Prince of cricket

 

[PakPremi]

Reaching ravindra is better than babar azaam

Whole world is better than Babar

 

[mominsaigol]

Finally a wicket. Ravindra's lucky innings ends

Ravindra had been through the tournament. Wouldn't call that lucky. India needs catching practise is all I'll say

 

[Sunzi]

Critical juncture in the match.

 

[160KPH]

There is a difference of opinion. I was watching a different match

Fair enough, we can agree to disagree. I will say, Pakistani batsmen should be watching to see the proper way to hit spinners.

 

[mominsaigol]

Today is gill day . watch out for another century from Prince of cricket

If Gill is Prince who's king and who's God?

 

[160KPH]

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.

Yeah the issue I have is that the players who scored runs got blamed but none of the blame is going to the middle order who actually collapsed terribly

 

[Smbhayi]

Feeble attempt by Bumrah to prevent that.

If the outfield isn't fit for play, why use the ground?

No need to dive to stop that four actually.. little bent or use of feet could stop that four..

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

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

You are just feeding the troll bro....not much data, sense or reasons where he is coming from...

 

[shah_1]

If Gill is Prince who's king and who's God?

King Kohli

 

[globetrotter]

The way NZ batters hitting sixes, the ground is small, there will b feast of sixes when India bats…

Watching Indian openers hitting sixes in PP will be an horror show for Pak fans

 

[Sunzi]

No need to dive to stop that four actually.. little bent or use of feet could stop that four..

Jo bhi - there wasn't even an attempt!

 

[MP2011]

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

Lol at the keyboard warrior

 

[160KPH]

No lie this is the kind of pitch Williamson would’ve been brilliant on

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol what is that..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bumrah simply doesn't want to field at all. Even in other matches he let the ball go. he doesn't want to get injured it seems.

 

[kron]

Daryl Mitchell. Take a bow. What a champion cricketer. Fighter.

 

[Devadwal]

If Gill is Prince who's king and who's God?

Gill - Prince
King -
God -

I'm really surprised there is no emoji of Upcoming world no. 1 odi batsman

 

[ex-q-zit]

Today is gill day . watch out for another century from Prince of cricket

Looking at where the score is we might need 1 apiece from Prince and King.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bumrah is a liability on the field. He simply doesn't want to field at all

 

[kron]

Lol at the keyboard warrior

That's your day time job. Not mine. Just speaking the truth. He cowers when attacked. Seen it too many times.

 

[kron]

Loldeep no luck hahahh

Bumrah is a liability on the field. He simply doesn't want to field at all

He thinks he is above all.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He didn't bowl terribly. One of those days for Kuldeep. Dharamsala is always a seamer friendly wicket mostly. This one is not a friend for anyone. Probably finger spinners like Ashwin

 

[ex-q-zit]

If Gill is Prince who's king and who's God?

Adding to what @Devadwal said I also know who isn't a king too

 

[mominsaigol]

Gill - Prince
King -
God -

I'm really surprised there is no emoji of Upcoming world no. 1 odi batsman

Bruh why are we comparing different eras .

Bradman should be God lol

 

[kron]

Looking at where the score is we might need 1 apiece from Prince and King.

Don't worry boult and Henry will give them their piece.

 

[MP2011]

That's your day time job. Not mine. Just speaking the truth. He cowers when attacked. Seen it too many times.

Lol, too many times. Even then he is one of the best bowlers in World.

 

[mominsaigol]

Adding to what @Devadwal said I also know who isn't a king too

, good one

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Nah. Pak conspiracy theorists speculating that India throwing the game to eliminate Pak

LOL....
India are the only side that does not play two matches in the same city, including the warm up games before WC started.

In 2021 T20 WC just the 45 min to 1 hr travel by bus from dubai to Sharjah was so taxing that the locals here made a song and dance about ICC = BCCI.
If a particular team had to do the amount of traveling we are doing.

 

[MMHS]

Today, Kiwis were 150/2 after 30’1 …. That day PAK was 155/2 after 29’3 - no analysis, criticism today?

The biggest fun for me that day was that Indian players were trolling PAK players for their “lack of intent” …. & here in PP some people took that seriously - lots of analysis, references, name calling …. emotional out burst - though I was never convinced how, “not showing intent”, between over number 20 to 30 can justify 8 for 36 from a position of 155/2 of 29’3.

May be after so many years in this game, time for me to take a fresh lesson - Fundamentals of ODI game 101

 

[Sunzi]

This is a very good innings from Mitchell.

 

[Devadwal]

Bruh why are we comparing different eras .

Bradman should be God lol

Bradman was fake god like there is another Fake king also . every one knows who is the fake king

 

[kron]

Lol, too many times. Even then he is one of the best bowlers in World.

He is good don't get me wrong. But I have seen it happen many times where he goes into a shell when attack. In ipl too.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

It's funny though how much mental side of things can affect the game though. People just don't realize it. Until this game they had almost no drops. Now 4 in one game. 3 or 4.

I agree. But I think they have lost it mentally not because it's NZ though. It started with Jadeja's mediocrity in the field followed by how the NZ batsmen attacked them. This is the first time their middle over bowling is targetted (which I fully expected with NZ as they're good players of spin on non spinning pitches, other teams give too much respect to spin even on non turning pitches).

Attacking our middle over bowling is the key for opposition. But it can't be done on every surface and every ground. This ground is small with no turn and NZ have batting depth which ensures they can play the way they can.

 

[MP2011]

He is good don't get me wrong. But I have seen it happen many times where he goes into a shell when attack. In ipl too.

IPL doesn't matter, just Mickey mouse cricket, nothing else, international cricket trumps every other form

 

[MP2011]

Poor bowling from Bumrah, alarm bells for us

 

[dravidthewall]

India has to chase minimum 300 here.. well played newzealand

 

[sindhiboy]

High quality batting from Mitchell

 

[ex-q-zit]

Don't worry boult and Henry will give them their piece.

Dont worry as I wouldn't worry. I want India to chase a huge score irrespective of the result.

 

[PakPremi]

Simil

Also surprised they didn’t give a couple Bumrah overs like they did against Pakistan to see if he can induce a collapse

Similar to how Babar captained last match bringing back Shaheen.

 

[TheSultan]

Mitchell’s intent is messing up the Indian bowlers.

So guys when we were criticising Babar and Rizwan, it wasn’t because we are agenda haters. It makes a difference.

And no, it’s not about similarity of scores etc so don’t quote me any silly stats. Learn the nuance.

 

[kron]

Bumrah struggling again vs nz. He is just not cut our for nz lol.

lol Only difference is pakistan was 60/0 odd in 10 overs. nZ was 29/2 in 10 overs
