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

[kron]

Spinners need to keep between 80 to 90 range and turn

 

[MP2011]

4 consecutive dots from Kuldeep

 

[rhony]

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?

What a joke!! You seem.dumb. their current SR means nothing? See enough games and you will realize that chasing teams need to get ahead of the game compared to the first innings. NZ are currently behind

 

[Ali Active]

I can only imagine the pain indian fans will go through if they lose today

 

[kron]

Mitchell reminds me of yuvi

 

[soso_killer]

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.

Did the same against South Africa actually. It was a poor innings. India won inspite of that knock NOT because of it. On a couple of occasions he has killed the momentum when his team were going well over 8. He doesn't even bother to try and catch up once he crosses 50

 

[OMB]

Funny i see jadeja getting turn only when replay. How did I miss that

 

[Champ_Pal]

So far Indians gave 25 extras. 10 more runs with misfields.

 

[MP2011]

Bumrah is back

 

[RidiculousMan]

Jadeja can be hit for 2-3 sixes in an over. New Zealand need to cash on him. Because it's not easy of scoring against Kuldeep or Bumrah

 

[kron]

Chokerah on. Or will he be jasprit

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

It is going to be game changing spell by Bumrah

 

[AMSS]

Ifs and buts really, kohli innings was fine.

Where's the if and but in my post?

I am saying Kohli played a selfish knock going at a SR far below his much less fancied team mates. His selfish knock has meant India have set a target that's about 30 runs less than it might have been.

His knock means India are a good chance of getting eliminated tonight.

But do feel free to pimp his knock as ''fine''.

 

[emranabbas]

Nice 4 mitchell

Lol, are you new to cricket?

Clear.cut plan means zilch. Everybody has a plan until their teeth get knocked out. It's the execution that matters. So far they are trying to catch up and are at 6.5 rpo when they need 10.

 

[OMB]

Couda been out

Yep, clearly new to the game cricket.

 

[Mamoon]

Mitchell on the brink of consecutive World Cup hundreds against India. A Pakistani batsman achieving this feat would milk it for the rest of his life.

Yes. He plays too slow, but no one dares to point out his low S/R. He has achieved Sachin's status in Indian cricket and cannot be criticized.

Jamsheed couldn't

 

[Buffet]

NZ is right in the game here.

 

[pillionrider]

You are right. You can only imagine

 

[rhony]

Yep, clearly new to the game cricket.

As expected no response on the facts. Watch and learn

 

[MP2011]

Shami drops dolly

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

DROPPED BY SHAMI -KW survives

 

[emranabbas]

This is newzealands game they have been lucky
Deserves india right for trying to temper with the pitch

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Danger bells are ringing; I am already dehydrated.

You didn't say it but you assumed NZ wins this which is a if.
Look at their current strike rate and if Mitchell falls who can pull them over the line?

 

[Ali Active]

Oh my dropped

 

[pillionrider]

Pressure. Pressure. This is going to be a great game but India will win

 

[Champ_Pal]

Occasion getting too big for Indian fielders. Massive choke job so far in the field.

 

[soso_killer]

India choking here. Dropping dollies now

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Poor Shami now he'll be lynched

 

[RehanG]

Shami the hero.

 

[Buffet]

INdia is not winning today with this fielding. It's NZ day, BUmrah created the chance as usual, lol.

 

[AMSS]

You didn't say it but you assumed NZ wins this which is a if.

We'll find that out in just over an hour.

As I see it, India are already cracking in the field.

Glenn Phillips and Chapman are by far their most explosive batsmen.

 

[oatmeal]

India choking big time

 

[MP2011]

Ol, who'll they give best fielder medal to?

 

[OMB]

The heat is getting on

 

[7sins]

lol shami had a top class wc surely a drop catch wont change that

 

[LongHorn]

Umpires are under huge pressure, specially if there are close lbw calls

 

[JattMaula]

Drop.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

U can just sense the paid for bot army loading up on shami's drop , just like they did in the WC 2020 match in Dubai vs pak

 

[rhony]

Would have felt bad if the catch was Mitchell's. Let Kane play for a bit

 

[RehanG]

lol shami had a top class wc surely a drop catch wont change that

It will if they go on to lose.. And we all know what happened during T20 ..

 

[JattMaula]

Umpires are under huge pressure, specially if there are close lbw calls

Yup. Every close call goes against India.

 

[OMB]

India needs bhabhi luck

 

[AMSS]

As expected no response on the facts. Watch and learn

I don't think you understand what ''fact'' means.

Here's a fact: Kohli, the most experienced pro in this team, played the longest inning at the slowest rate costing India 30 runs minimum.

Keep up, newbie.

 

[7sins]

Kane needs to move on atleast take singles and hit 4 in between too many dots from him

Slowest rate

 

[kron]

Guess India are just nz‘s bunnies

 

[160KPH]

They basically just need a few really big overs in the next 6-7.

 

[rhony]

20 overs 200. Straight T20 shootout from here

 

[Champ_Pal]

India was never put under pressure so far in this tournament. Finally they are under pressure and their fielding is choking big time.

 

[AAli98]

Well dropped Kashmiri agent Shami

 

[160KPH]

If they smash a few 14-15 run overs, they’re right on track

 

[Champ_Pal]

20 overs 200. Straight T20 shootout from here

Easy peasy on this pitch.

 

[globetrotter]

Costly drop… what shami have done

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Well dropped Kashmiri agent Shami

Doesn't have any connection with Kashmir.

 

[emranabbas]

Well dropped Kashmiri agent Shami

What that a second drop?

 

[OMB]

Mitchell is creating ripples. Kane consolidating like kohli did. Normal way

 

[soso_killer]

Ladies and gentlemen I think we have a run chase here. Bumrah spell will be decisive. If these two can still be there around 250 then they might have a chance.

By the looks of it, see off Kuldeep as well, he's turning it square

 

[shah_1]

Need some dew and the match is truly on

 

[kron]

Cammoooon nz

 

[sindhiboy]

This is a brilliant knock from mitchell

 

[AAli98]

Doesn't have any connection with Kashmir.

There was khalistani agent arshdeep they’ve dropped him he got caught

 

[RehanG]

10 run a over. Dew to come, set batsmen very much doable.

 

[emranabbas]

Kuldeep getting smashed

 

[rhony]

Easy peasy on this pitch.

200 is never easy. Lucky for India there isn't dew yet.

 

[shah_1]

Need some dew and the match is truly on

 

[kron]

India is very beatable. They are good but under pressure they drop dollies lol

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Easy peasy on this pitch.

Not remotely easy

The RRR will continue to creep up

This has been a good partnership but India still heavy favourites, anyone that thinks otherwise is clueless about cricket

 

[emranabbas]

What 6 by Mitchell

 

[soso_killer]

Wow, Mitchell on 90 already having played risk free cricket for large parts of his innings

 

[RidiculousMan]

Why is fine leg not up? Kiwis are milking Kuldeep there. Are India so afraid of defending?

You have runs. Ask Mitchell to take a risk on square and fine leg instead of milking for singles.

 

[LongHorn]

NZ need to resist the urge to take quick singles

Kane needs to move on atleast take singles and hit 4 in between too many dots from him

Its like Babars spirit has descended on him

 

[rhony]

Kuldeep getting smashed

At 6 rpo when target is 8?

 

[shah_1]

SIX

BUmrah already created one chance...
