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

[mominsaigol]

Whole world is better than Babar

Fans are too harsh on babar.

Babar is > Ravindra in the same way Williamson is > Ravindra.

But you'd rather have ravindra on your side then those 2.

As I said, this world cup has exposed the fab 4 in Smith, Root, Babar and Williamson.

Bavuma as well

 

[Ahmed216]

Mitchell has played a gem

 

[Devadwal]

Please ban these horns

Absolutely.its feel like there is Mela ongoing

 

[Smbhayi]

100 by Mitchell..

 

[MP2011]

5th ODI ton from Mitchell

 

[jnaveen1980]

MVP stuff from Mitchell

 

[SalimBhai]

Kiwis need to really push hard now. Need 320

 

[Devadwal]

Top class inning from Mitchell

 

[MP2011]

Another quality over from Bumrah, just 3 off it

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Mitchel, what an innings. Kudus

 

[Rajdeep]

Big test for Indian batting today...especially for prince Gill.

Without Pandya this is our C team anyway

 

[Smbhayi]

Anyone else noticed the P2 indicator has been on since the 10th over right up till now in 39.3 overs?

2nd Powerplay 10 to 40.. 3rd pp 40 to 50..

 

[Devadwal]

Apart from bumrah we don't have any quality death bowler so those 6 over can concede 80 runs
NZ are looking for 330

 

[ex-q-zit]

I dont see NZ going past 320 now which seemed a minimum until a few overs ago.

 

[Ahmed216]

He has pumped kuldeep down the ground 3-4 times. Great knock

 

[dravidthewall]

This match is perfect worldcup match ...what an innings played by mitchel

 

[batandballbattle]

It might actually be worth india's while to keep these two at the crease, chapman can be very dangerous in the closing stages

 

[Devadwal]

Today we know that how much knowledge this guy's @Technics 1210 have about cricket.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Great to see crowd giving respect to Daryl Mitchell and Ravindra..
Everyone in crowd on his feet to appreciate Mitchell's hundred.
See Pakistanis, you won't get respect from the crowd with zero performances.
We celebrate good cricket that your team lack.

 

[Sunzi]

NZ innings tailed off this past 5 overs. Good Indian comeback / timid NZ batting.

 

[kron]

Lol, Waqar younis who is 'supposedly' one of the greats of the game got absolutely pummeled and pasted by a 'mere' ajay jadeja in a quarterfinal. According to your logic he's a mental midget and a nothing bowler, isn't it?

By the way, how's the so called 'No. 1' team and batsman doing in this world cup? I can't see him in top 20run getters, even.

That year when he got smashed did you win the world cup?

 

[MP2011]

Another good over, 4 off it

 

[Rajdeep]

Rohit should have batted first today...poor decision at the toss

 

[jnaveen1980]

So far highest total against INdia was from Afghanistan 270. That will be beaten today.

 

[kron]

But but babar still lumber 1 batsman in the world

Just enjoy the phanity loldeep is receiving. Lumber 1 who said though? Not me.

 

[globetrotter]

Fans are too harsh on babar.

Babar is > Ravindra in the same way Williamson is > Ravindra.

But you'd rather have ravindra on your side then those 2.

As I said, this world cup has exposed the fab 4 in Smith, Root, Babar and Williamson.

Bavuma as well

Despite many failures how Babar still @ No.1 batsman? IMO ICC should run anti-virus, anti-malware on their system

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

kuldeep has one over to go, hope he limits the damage here

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Playing too slow now

 

[Devadwal]

First time we are chasing above 300 in this World Cup .

 

[Sunzi]

So far highest total against INdia was from Afghanistan 270. That will be beaten todtoday

Not by much at this rate. India pulled it back well last half an hour.

 

[dravidthewall]

Mitchel what you have done

 

[Ab Fan]

Its admirable that Bumrah bowls 5-6 overs in death and barely leaks 35 runs.

 

[MP2011]

Is Mitchell run out there?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

First time we are chasing above 300 in this World Cup .

74 in 8 overs to get there looks tough

 

[MP2011]

Not out

 

[Ahmed216]

NZ innings tailed off this past 5 overs. Good Indian comeback / timid NZ batting.

A lot of shots have gone straight to the fielder

 

[160KPH]

Mitchell looks a bit tired

 

[Devadwal]

74 in 8 overs to get there looks tough

They will score 90 runs from here .we have 5 over from Shami ,Siraj and Kuldeep .they will target 1 one over of kuldeep

 

[FearlessRoar]

After a solid partnership between Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell India have got 2 wickets in quick succession making the match quite interesting.

Both India and New Zealand have an equal chance here.

NZ have scored 222/4 in 41 overs.

 

[dravidthewall]

Just enjoy the phanity loldeep is receiving. Lumber 1 who said though? Not me.

I enjoyed rauf got phainty from Warner....this one doesn't excite me

 

[Srinath_cricket]

That year when he got smashed did you win the world cup?

Did NZ win the world Cup the year (2019) they beat us in the semis?

Don't go off the topic. Let's stick to it!

One thing I remember about 50 over world cups is we have won a 50 over World Cup after 1992 though!!

 

[MP2011]

During last year or so, Bumrah has conceded 5.4 rpo in final 10 overs. That's incredible

 

[Devadwal]

Great fielding by jaddu and Iyer after dropping the catches

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

Not a free scoring pitch. 300 will be a very good score I think.

 

[MP2011]

Great fielding by Shreyas, saved a definite boundary

 

[160KPH]

Fielding saved 5 runs this over so far

 

[Ab Fan]

During last year or so, Bumrah has conceded 5.4 rpo in final 10 overs. That's incredible

Yeah and that's why looking at his average vs opposition gives misleading picture. He bowls 5-6 overs in death and hardly leaks 6 RPO so in that regard, he does the job otherwise most bowlers would end up going for 100 runs in final 10.

 

[Ahmed216]

During last year or so, Bumrah has conceded 5.4 rpo in final 10 overs. That's incredible

But bumrah hardly played in the year prior to WC

 

[Sunzi]

Some good boundary running by the Indians here.

 

[MP2011]

6 off this over, another good over

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

NZ innings tailed off this past 5 overs. Good Indian comeback / timid NZ batting.

and some spirited tigerish fielding as well...that stop by Iyer was fab

 

[MP2011]

But bumrah hardly played in the year prior to WC

From Asia Cup and 5 games in this WC, must have been 10 games, no. Even then this is very miserly bowling especially in last 10 overs when everyone gets tonked

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

NZ have to target 3 overs of Shami & Kuldeep to get 35+ runs. other 4 overs 35 runs.

 

[Devadwal]

Siraj is rubbish death bowler

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

I hope Kuldeep does not get owned when he comes on to bowl....

 

[Ahmed216]

Poor ball deposited in to the stands by philips

 

[globetrotter]

Today is Iyer’s day

 

[MP2011]

What a poor delivery by Siraj

 

[ex-q-zit]

Just enjoy the phanity loldeep is receiving. Lumber 1 who said though? Not me.

Its Ok man we can understand the nightmares Kuldeep is giving to your team. Just say Aalll is well to yourself.

 

[mominsaigol]

Despite many failures how Babar still @ No.1 batsman? IMO ICC should run anti-virus, anti-malware on their system

Because rankings are based of a points system which is obviously a very flawed way of ranking.

If babar playes against minnows and bashes he'd get back to no 1 cause those points would be counted.

Better ranked teams means you score more points, but it doesn't account for how many games players miss for franchise cricket.

Like kohli missed 18 odi's from 2019 to 2023 before the cup and Babar has missed 0, so babar has the points advantage.

 

[MP2011]

1st boundary in 40 balls

 

[Devadwal]

Man poor Captioncy by Rohit. Why kuldeep has 1 over left at this stages. He should have complete around 40 over.

 

[kron]

Its Ok man we can understand the nightmares Kuldeep is giving to your team. Just say Aalll is well to yourself.

Not really. It's just a game. It only matters in a ko.

 

[MP2011]

10 an over from here on will get them to 304.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Great to see crowd giving respect to Daryl Mitchell and Ravindra..
Everyone in crowd on his feet to appreciate Mitchell's hundred.
See Pakistanis, you won't get respect from the crowd with zero performances.
We celebrate good cricket that your team lack.

does'nt fit their narrative , hence no one will comment

 

[kron]

I enjoyed rauf got phainty from Warner....this one doesn't excite me

But rauf isn't a lumber 1 spinner though.

 

[MP2011]

Good comeback by Siraj especially after conceding 6 off his first delivery

 

[Devadwal]

NZ - 243/4 (44)
CRR: 5.52

6 over left .they will score 80 runs

 

[Rajdeep]

This is my prediction -

India will lose today, most probably finish the group as no.2 and will face SA in semi final in Mumbai

NZ will face Pakistan in Calcutta in 2nd semi final

 

[kron]

Did NZ win the world Cup the year (2019) they beat us in the semis?

Don't go off the topic. Let's stick to it!

One thing I remember about 50 over world cups is we have won a 50 over World Cup after 1992 though!!

How is it off topic? It's relevant. Did india win that year when away smashed Waqar? No.

Yea nz are chokers themselves. That's already been established.

 

[sweep_shot]

New Zealand are looking good for 280-300 (good score on this ground).

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

C'mon Kuldeep....get a good one in

 

[PakPremi]

Fans are too harsh on babar.

Babar is > Ravindra in the same way Williamson is > Ravindra.

But you'd rather have ravindra on your side then those 2.

As I said, this world cup has exposed the fab 4 in Smith, Root, Babar and Williamson.

Bavuma as well

All those players except Bavuma are essential players, you are not going to get phatta wickets with small boundaries to make big hitters special. Despite all Mitchell and Phillips big hitting ability they are still just above run a ball. England Bazball players also got exposed as well as their bowlers. T20 world cup was super bowler and now he is in selectable. Moral is horses for courses.

 

[kron]

Lumber 1 spinner on now.

 

[Devadwal]

But rauf isn't a lumber 1 spinner though.

I already Told you that kuldeep will take 2 wicket.

 

[MP2011]

Another wicket for Kuldeep

 

[Ahmed216]

India have pulled things back here through bumrah

 

[NeVerMind]

Phillips gone to Kuldeep...will be tough to get to 300 now...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kuldeep gets one. He almost got Mitchell as well. I am happy with Kuldeep. He didn't make any mistakes. Batsmen took chance against new ball with no Pandya.

 

[kron]

Wicket for kuldeep. Well done son. 2/71.
