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.

Won't come to that.
 
If New Zealand keep their cool and split this run case in 5 over blocks, they can pull it off.

They are masters of bottling close encounters though, history is against them.
 
All India needs to do is stop the stupid boundaries. There is turn and pretty much India's game to.lose still. Ball will turn until the onset of dew

Everyone is going gaga over Kohli's century, but I feel he has consumed too many deliveries on a flat bed like this to score his 50th ton.

He played at least 2 overs extra to score those many runs.

If any team is unable to defend 400 only and only bowlers should be blamed.
 
Experience of Williamson. His front foot is either on leg stump or outside off

Yeah I think Iyer's knock was better and so were other contributions like Rohit, Gill and Rahul which came at higher rate.

No one dares to question that knock. Even if India win, that was a match losing knock only to be saved by Iyer and KL Rahul's innings.

Kohli needs to up his scoring rate. Too defensive in his approach.

Differentiator will be Iyer kind of innings, I don't see them dominating that way. Most runs are 2s and 3s with lots of midfielder 4s

Don't think he should keep playing ODIs post this WC
 
I imagine they're having a similar meltdown on an NZ forum as happens on here when Babar and Riz play at run-a-ball in such a situation...
 
These 2 needs to play most of the jadeja kuldeep overs other can surely hit fast bowlers
 
237 runs needed in 25 overs. And there will be 6 overs of death bowling by Bumrah and Shami atleast. That's a super tough ask even in T20s.

Actually you can't question that knock because it helped us get to 396 which itself is massive total. If knocks like that don't come often it can be shifting the momentum.

People don’t understand how hard it is to cheat lol. It’s not 90s
 
@Mamoon called it at a time when Babar hype was high

Mitchell is a better ODI batsman than Babar
 
Even after all this, Jaddu and Kuldeep are just going at 6 rpo when the target is 9 rpo
 
@Mamoon mitchell is easily the best number 4 in the world. If he was in our team he would be paraded As our best ever batsman

really?

from the ICC website "Changes to planned pitch rotations are common towards the end of an event of this length, and has already happened a couple of times. This change was made on the recommendation of the venue curator in conjunction with our host. The ICC independent pitch consultant was apprised of the change and has no reason to believe the pitch won’t play well," an ICC spokesperson touched upon the entire issue."

i'll bet this does not suit your narrative...

He isn’t far off any batsman Pakistan has produced to date. He can any play format against any lineup at any batting position in any conditions.
 
As good as Taylor was, Mitchell has been an upgrade to him in the last 2-3 years.

Mitchell, Conway and Taylor are better batsman than Kane mama in ODIs in my opinion.

Phillips can play a 220+ SR cameo on this ground under lights.

Lol no. The fact that both teams scored 400 underlines bowlers had nothing in their favor. We must then look at how the batsmen who spent a LOT of time in the middle played. Did they play at a SR below or above the match average. When we do that calculation, Kohli comes out cutting a sorry figure.

That's the bare fact if you can look past all the Kohli Jaap and Chalisa.
 
He would say a club cricketer was better then Babar if it justified his hatred of Pakistan and disdain of any Pakistan player!
 
Its Kuldeep or bust for Indians. Jadeja is just darting with no turn. He will taken to cleaners.

From here on, Kuldeep's remaining overs will decide the course of the game.
 
Will this be a repeat of the T20 WC 2016 semifinal heartbreak? Different format but same ground.
 
In this fast pace T20 world. It's great to see Kuldeep keeping the art of spin alive in ODI Cricket.

Rubbish. NZ batsmen are scoring at 100 SR, well under the required RR. When batting first one needs to first aim for par score. Virat scored at 100 SR. Iyer and Co. Coukd play freely around him. If he fell, they wouldn't have scored freely as they did
 
Decent partnership by NZ and showing some good fight

It will still end in defeat, a RRR of almost 10 an over with 233 needed is almost impossible

One of these will get out soon and then a collapse will happen

There is no way Babar is a better batsman than Mitchell. There is nothing Babar does that Mitchell cannot and there is plenty that Mitchell does that Babar cannot.

NZ batsmen are chasing, and they have a clear cut plan in mind. Their current SR means nothing so long they can get over the line at the end.

Lol, are you new to cricket?

Yes commies were hyping jadeja up but he didn't do much so far
 
If they can bring it to 200 off 20 overs with 8 wickets remaining, they will have a chance.
