ICC World Cup 2023: India (397/4) convincingly defeat New Zealand (327) by 70 runs securing their spot in the World Cup final

[Devadwal]

25 extras this is criminal

20 from wide and four .

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Has ball hit the stumps even after Rahul gloves touch the balls? I don't think so

didn't look like a direct hit. But even if hit the stump, it would still have been not out because of KL's prior interference .

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

They cannot make it too obvious

so you are saying india are cheating but not cheating on the obvious, but cheating subtly....really? and thats how we made it 9/9 and are now in semis?

 

[Bhaijaan]

Just a couple of weeks ago, we saw Pakistan pullinmg off the greatest heist in the history of ODI cricket thanks to Fakhar Zaman playing a monstrous knock.

NZ need similar tonight.

Can NZ do it tonight?

Given the situation & the stage, this should be considered ahead of what Pakistan did with all due respect to the Pakistan cricket community.

 

[7sins]

These 2 should take this deep runs will come

 

[oatmeal]

So far not much for spinners. Ball isnt gripping in the surface. 22-30 will be crucial

 

[emranabbas]

These 2 should take this deep runs will come

Inshallah bro

 

[Devadwal]

We are losing it

 

[kron]

India simply phd cheaters. Rigging drs
tampering pitch. Changing balls

 

[Rana]

They will need around 270 off 180 balls with the ball getting softer

Dew might help. Looks highly unlikely though

 

[kron]

We are losing it

Indian fans vs Pakistan fans. Polar opposites lol

 

[oatmeal]

It's certainly possible unless India pick up a wicket in the next 5 overs

 

[emranabbas]

Need just 9 an over it can be done

 

[Devadwal]

Misfield by bumrah and it cost 4 runs

 

[Savak]

Glenn Phillips and Chapman have to play an absolute blinder to pull this off. Bhumra, Shami and Siraj will be too good

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Umpire clearly favouring NZ …. Very bad decision

U can bet, no one of the 'locals' would see it that way....however if the reverse had happened....this site would be buzzing

 

[oatmeal]

India have been very sloppy in the field today

 

[kron]

Lol bumrah choking in fielding now

 

[ex-q-zit]

NZ coasting towards a win. The pitch will only get easietr as the game progresses.

 

[rhony]

One thing's for sure. Pitch is great for batting for both teams. That's a straight shootout. I think NZ gave 50 runs too many. 350 would have been a great chase

 

[OMB]

Poor fielding costing kuldeep

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pakistani fans in a huge dilemma here.

On one side they would like to keep their record of pulling off the greatest heist ever in ODI cricket but on the other hand this effort from NZ will knock Bharat out.

Quite the dilemma indeed.

 

[globetrotter]

RRR 9.13

 

[OMB]

Commies were hyping jadeja, he can start now

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

India simply phd cheaters. Rigging drs
tampering pitch. Changing balls

so why bother watching?

 

[Rana]

NZ need to be on 200 by the 32nd over to have a chance

 

[globetrotter]

Wicket is coming in next 2 overs

 

[OMB]

so why bother watching?

Changing balls? ,everyone gets two and its what you do with it

 

[Bhaijaan]

NZ playing a game of chess here.

@Aman

 

[aboveandbeyond]

NO CHANCE LOL

 

[Bhaijaan]

Any chances of rain bruh

 

[oatmeal]

It gripped a bit there

 

[Ab Fan]

All India need to do is bowl economical overs. Required rate is way too high that even the legendary batsman Fakhar won't be able to make it.

 

[7sins]

No sign of dew?

 

[oatmeal]

NZ doing just what they need.

 

[Devadwal]

Richard Illingworth won't give any close decision in india favour

 

[Ali Active]

nz can pull this off they bat deep

 

[OMB]

Massive six kane, well done

 

[mominsaigol]

Indian fans vs Pakistan fans. Polar opposites lol

Indian fans panick too quickly.

Pakistani fans are too egotistical and never panic , cause their living in cloud 9.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Richard Illingworth won't give any close decision in india favour

but people here believe package from BCCI has already reached his home....

 

[kron]

so why bother watching?

Lol I don’t believe that

 

[soso_killer]

NZ are such a good side. They have no chance of winning this game but have the awareness to take it deep whilst batting at a decent pace (around 6). South Africa and Pakistan would have capitulated a while back. They are keeping the crowd quiet as well.

Yoh mean * Some indian fans

 

[Ab Fan]

Longer the ice man bats, the better it is for India because ice man will ensure that required rate go past 10 by 30 over mark.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Very strange fro KW that he didn't give ball to Mitchel and chapman.

 

[Devadwal]

Daryl Mitchell is such a fine player to watch .his straight hitting is just sublime .

 

[kron]

60 m boundary is not hard tbf

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

Any chances of rain bruh

We also need some qudrat ka nizam today either by rain or Williamson and Mitchell injuring themselves while running etc

 

[OMB]

Mitchell doesn't play on square much

 

[kron]

lol deep sucks just like I said. Attack him hard and he folds

 

[Ab Fan]

NZ need to be on 200 by the 32nd over to have a chance

200 by 30 will give them a chance and I think they can get there if Mitchell survives till then.

 

[Rana]

Get to 200 by the 30th or close to it without losing a wicket

One of Mitchell and Kane bat through…Chapman and Phillips need to fire with cameos to see it to the end

 

[Ali Active]

nz looking good

 

[globetrotter]

Bring Kohli

 

[Bhaijaan]

Bharatiya fans looking nervous. A lot of tense looking faces suddenly.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Need that 'Dhoni' type fielding for Mitchel, right behind the bowler.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Meanwhile DM gets generous round of applause for 50....wellplayed.

for the people who were default of critical of fans not applauding , here's your answer

 

[OMB]

lol deep sucks just like I said. Attack him hard and he folds

His trade is wickets taking, not much for economy. Only if he takes a wicket or two now

 

[Bhaijaan]

Get to 200 by the 30th or close to it without losing a wicket

Pakistan has showed them the way.

Once again, it’s Pakistan doing it behind the scenes.

 

[oatmeal]

Totally needless. Jadeja feeling the pressure

 

[Devadwal]

Jadeja gave 4 overthrow .lol what is he doing?

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Rohit with Ben stokes to Jadeja

 

[Rana]

Pakistan has showed them the way.

Once again, it’s Pakistan doing it behind the scenes.

Fakhar Zaman did

Not Pakistan

if NZ pull this off, it will be a team effort. Not one single man batting out of his skin

 

[RidiculousMan]

Required run rate is continually creeping up.

Either New Zealand can keep wickets or accelerate. Once they do the latter. They are bound to lose wickets and that's where the Kiwi marbles fall.

 

[kron]

pressure pressure pressure. Not easy is it.

 

[Kaptan]

Man will we mess this up?

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pitch is super flat now. Hit thrugh the line to get boundaries. NZ is still in the hunt.

 

[OMB]

Jadeja gave 4 overthrow .lol what is he doing?

Too many 4's due to misfields

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Jadeja lol

 

[kron]

Very uncharacteristic of jadeja

 

[AAli98]

Is this the ground where maxwell made the double ?

 

[MP2011]

This partnership is assuming dangerous proportions.

 

[emranabbas]

Newzealand needs to take it atleast to the 30th over

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Is this the ground where maxwell made the double ?

Yes

 

[Champ_Pal]

NZ is still very much in the game. Another 10 overs of this and India will be in trouble.

 

[oatmeal]

If they dont break this partnership by the 30th over, NZ can win it

 

[AMSS]

Squeaky bum time for Indian fans.

If NZ go off script, I would certainly wonder if Kohli's long inning at a lukewarm SR cost them.

Remember, once again Kohli was the batsman with lowest SR even though he is THE most experienced batsman in the team and he should know better than anyone else on how much score the team needed.

No matter how much his blind fangirls and fanboys scream, he's not just given a role to anchor the inning. He's the veteran, the most senior pro in this team.

 

[rhony]

Nice run of play for NZ for the past 10 overs. Good thing for India is there is no dew yet and spinners already finished half their quota.

 

[emranabbas]

We trust in you Williamson

 

[MP2011]

What a delivery from Kuldeep, no wicket though
