ICC World Cup 2023: India v New Zealand | 1st Semi Final | Mumbai | 15 November | India Innings

[ex-q-zit]

6 and 4 by Gill - Going to make his 1st WC hundred today.

Why do i smell a jinx attempt here?

 

[jnaveen1980]

That sounds like chucking bro? Is he?

That is his strength. Vettori did not involve any of that. Outstanding defensive bowling by him.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Bekham looks bored, not sure what he can chat about with Jay Shah.

Bekham looks bored, not sure what he can chat about with Jay Shah.

I don't think anyone will be bored in an India match that too in world cup semi. It is quiet an experience.

 

[VForVendetta]

Looks very tough for NZ.

350 will be almost impossible to chase

Forget 350, I don't think 250 is chaseable against this Indian attack. The match truly dead & buried as far as Kiwis are concerned.

 

[globetrotter]

Glen Philips bowling runup reminds me of great Sharne Warne

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Why is he here lol?

I was also surprised, such an unrelated personality.

Correction: UNICEF ambassador

 

[jnaveen1980]

5 over gone from Santner phew. 5 more to go. I am always scared of this guy

 

[7sins]

Forget 350, I don't think 250 is chaseable against this Indian attack. The match truly dead & buried as far as Kiwis are concerned.

Lol same bowlers get alot more help under lights and they can finish the match in first 15 overs

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

I was also surprised, such an unrelated personality.

As long as they dont get any bollywood paan masala advt flogging actor, i dont care who they get....and Beckham is a style icon...

 

[globetrotter]

John abraham and Ranbir Kapoor spotted, enjoying Indian batting

 

[sweep_shot]

150 is up for India.

150/1 (19.4 overs).

 

[7sins]

Nz literally have 4 full bowlers and 10 overs of part timers

 

[RamLakhan]

Gill is the man for Knockouts! Needed Pandya too... But current balance in the team (5 bowlers) its fine without him...

 

[jnaveen1980]

India has to see off Santner somehow.

 

[Devadwal]

Nz literally have 4 full bowlers and 10 overs of part timers

They have enough batting depth to chase any total .same like india 2011 team

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

What will be safe score for India here??

 

[7sins]

Still not a bad 2 overs from Phillips but NZ need wickets

 

[sweep_shot]

Did NZ miss a trick by not playing Sodhi?

 

[jnaveen1980]

What will be safe score for India here??

As much as you can get.

 

[Ali Active]

India cruising to 350

 

[7sins]

They have enough batting depth to chase any total .same like india 2011 team

That's crazy If you have asolid all-rounder like pandya than it's okay but rachin and Phillips?

 

[sweep_shot]

What will be safe score for India here??

I think 350+ should be a safe score considering the bowling they have.

If it is 330-340, NZ can perhaps chase it down.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Anything around 370-380 will be safe for India to defend i guess. But we never know what the kiwis can do.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Did NZ miss a trick by not playing Sodhi?

They played and bit their hands against Pakistan justu with 2 seamers

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

What will be safe score for India here??

pitch is evenly bounced, good outfield, conditions are good for batting. i get the feeling even 325 is chasable

 

[RamLakhan]

Wonder what would the score have been now if they played on that other so-called flatter pitch...

 

[Cric_lover4487]

We were missing this agressive intent in previous ICC knockouts. God job Rohit Hitman Sharma. It also proves that nothing changes till you change things.

 

[sweep_shot]

They played and bit their hands against Pakistan justu with 2 seamers

Fakhar played a blinder. No bowler was safe that day.

It is not like Lockie is doing any better here. His figure today: 3-0-30-0.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

What will be safe score for India here??

250 - Shami Siraj Bumrah will eat them alive.

 

[shah_1]

Kohli has been really been poor, need to convert this start

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

As much as you can get.

Isn't it a used and slow pitch?
Will be beneficial to Jadeja and Kuldeep?

 

[jnaveen1980]

So far turn is more like 2 or 3 degree tops?

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Gill is playing red-inker innings so far
Boults 2nd spell can be lethal

 

[Devadwal]

Kohli is playing too many dots which increases pressure on gill .

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Rohit looks restless, I hope he is not trying too many things.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Dew is a due in the evening, post 8 pm.

Pitch is a belter and NZ bat deep.

No Score is safe here.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

We need 420 to be safe. 360 is easy win for NZ. Don't forget that Kiwis almost chased 400 vs Aus on slow Dharamshala wicket.

 

[7sins]

3 Not a bad overs from Phillips

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

I am shocked to know Virat doesn't have any 50+ score in ODI KOs.

 

[7sins]

Dew is a due in the evening, post 8 pm.

Pitch is a belter and NZ bat deep.

No Score is safe here.

Even before the dew arrives nz top order have to deal with this Indian fast bowlers if they get some kind of help under lights nz should play slow and keep the wickets in hand

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are using up Santner here. Hope INdia sees him off

 

[7sins]

I am shocked to know Virat doesn't have any 50+ score in ODI KOs.

Man but that guy is still a world class these records means nothing

 

[BaaliSoda]

Virat looks very fidgety against spinners, so far.

 

[Sunzi]

Dew is a due in the evening, post 8 pm.

Pitch is a belter and NZ bat deep.

No Score is safe here.

Think you're worried about nothing.

You're batting NZ out of the game here and have the bowling to defend anything around 270 as has been proven; you look on course for a lot more than that, however... and quite comfortably.

 

[7sins]

I think rohit message was to move on don't slow down I think viral will score quick runs now

 

[U$ofA]

Kohli has been really been poor, need to convert this start

Anchoring has been his role this WC. The rest are supposed to bat around him. Strategy seems to be for him stay the till the end.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

3 Not a bad overs from Phillips

He reminds me of Kedar Jadhav.
Always with wickets and economical

 

[Devadwal]

Oh no gill is injured.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Gill cramped Damn.

 

[Devadwal]

Gill cramped Damn.

Hoping its only cramps nothing more than

 

[bluevision]

VK is tuktuking like MSD in SF19.
Hope he picks up, not that Gill is down.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Ohh Gill walking off ?

 

[Devadwal]

Gill is walking off?? Not good sign at all.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hoping its only cramps nothing more than

It is. I expected a lot of this even before the match. Why is Mumbai hotter than Chennai at this time of the year. Almost every team suffered.

 

[Sunzi]

Only India can beat India. i.e injuries/cramps.

Batters look impregnable and bowling looks untouchable.

 

[sweep_shot]

Gill is walking off. Cramp perhaps.

IND - 164/1 (22.4 overs).

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

oooh...cramps for Shubman Gill.....hope he recovers quickly

 

[7sins]

Why retire hurt now? Is it that serious?

 

[Thanos]

Gill is faking it. Only Rizwan gets the real cramps.

 

[jnaveen1980]

COme on Think about Maxie. But Maxie had nobody other day though

 

[sweep_shot]

Gill retired hurt on 79.

It was an opportunity for a century.

 

[Kaptan]

Just giving some rest to Gilli boy!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now bouncer attempts will be made

 

[160KPH]

Gill was looking like a million bucks to be honest, but cramps can happen to anyone in this kind of heat

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Buri najar lag gayi gill ko (Gill has been affected by an evil eye)

 

[Devadwal]

Can he come for batting ?

 

[BaaliSoda]

More than the pitch, I am worried about the humidity and sweltering hot conditions of Wankhede in the afternoon.

Hope we get to bat first and put up a decent score (anything in the vicinity of 300 should be fine).

Post 8 pm local time, dew is expected to settle in so 1st 10 overs is very crucial while defending.

I said this much before the start of the game.

Mumbai weather is too hot to handle even for Indians.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

This was surprising injury - He didn't look uncomfortable at any stage before this.

Ashwin was also sent by Rohit to pass on some message in previous over.

 

[jnaveen1980]

7th over done for Santner YEs!

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

What an unlucky way to get out
First victim of Mumbai heat

 

[jnaveen1980]

This was surprising injury - He didn't look uncomfortable at any stage before this.

Ashwin was also sent by Rohit to pass on some message in previous over.

I think he was limping it seems.

 

[bluevision]

Too young to be having a cramp on the 22nd over. Hope it's not something serious.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Gill was playing beautifully, not sure he wanted to go out until it is serious..

 

[sachin-10dulkar]

Short ball barrage incoming.

 

[U$ofA]

What are the rules these days? Can Gill come out again if he is ok?

 

[BaaliSoda]

Iyer is better player of Spin.

Good to have him in the middle overs against part timers.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

I said this much before the start of the game.

Mumbai weather is too hot to handle even for Indians.

Its more the humidity...and yeah - its been hot more than normal since october in Mumbai

 

[RahulBose]

Gill was set for a memorable WC semi final century. Hard luck!

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Gill didn't look fit like earlier since dengue
Management should have rest him till mid tournament.
