India [204/4] beat New Zealand [203/5] by 6 wickets in the first T20I to take 1-0 series lead

[bluevision]

So many live matches today at the same time.. Ind NZ, u19, pak bd, BbL, SA eng.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Why isn't Neesham not playing?

 

[Aman]

Bennett use to bowl 140s a few years back.

 

[Aman]

Some real filth from Bennett so far.

 

[jagatk]

Need Kohli early, he's a beast in bilaterals.

If these were Odi's sure, before spouting nonsense check his record at wt20's.

 

[Aman]

Disappointing pace wise from Bennett.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Ferguson not playing as well, there was another kiwi speedstar forgot his name. Would have been nice if they were picked together

 

[big_gamer007]

Our tail begins after this, crucial partnership this one.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He is built like a tank. But he is already gasping for his breath.

 

[Aman]

If these were Odi's sure, before spouting nonsense check his record at wt20's.

What's his record in KOs?

 

[Aman]

Ferguson not playing as well, there was another kiwi speedstar forgot his name. Would have been nice if they were picked together

Milne, think he's injured.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why isn't Neesham not playing?

Sodhi is playing i think

 

[Aman]

Great shot from Kohli.

 

[big_gamer007]

Damn whattaaaa shot by koshli

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Milne, think he's injured.

Yeah it was Milne. Thanks buddy. Milne and Ferguson together would have been a sight

 

[Aman]

Tickner getting it into the 140s

 

[jagatk]

What's his record in KOs?

77 in 2014 final, 89 in 2016 semis, 72 in 2014 semi. Again stop spouting nonsense.

 

[Aman]

Cramping Kohli up and waiting for a shot from frustration/mistake seems the best bet for Kohli.

 

[MP2011]

We have kept abreast with the RRR, so far.

 

[Aman]

77 in 2014 final, 89 in 2016 semis, 72 in 2014 semi. Again stop spouting nonsense.

Meh, still unable to win titles for his country. The fact he scored 70 and still lost

 

[shahid10]

Meh, still unable to win titles for his country. The fact he scored 70 and still lost

Yep! He forgot to take 10 wickets in that match..

 

[Space Cat]

Those wrists.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was some shot lol dismissive

 

[MP2011]

Thats why it was imperative for Rohit to have stayed for a bit longer....

 

[Test lover]

Meh, still unable to win titles for his country. The fact he scored 70 and still lost

What have nz done in entire Cricket history ?? big zero

 

[jnaveen1980]

Thats why it was imperative for Rohit to have stayed for a bit longer....

Yes. KL Rahul will take care of run rate.

 

[Aman]

India will win this, our record here is abysmal.

 

[Hyperion66]

That shot from Rahul though, wow!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dhawan's injury has helped KL Rahul finding his confidence

 

[Aman]

Lmao Rahul should have been out twice there.

 

[Test lover]

What was that ? Lol

 

[Space Cat]

Wow that was an absolute mess.

 

[jagatk]

Lol

 

[MP2011]

India will win this, our record here is abysmal.

Yeah, that's the only reason for this loss (if at all), lol....

 

[Hitman]

Comedy stuff.

 

[Aman]

Yeah, Bennett definitely shouldn't go to the WC.

Bowling lines all over the place and pace average.

 

[Mesozoic]

Lol what a choke job.

 

[Aman]

Yeah, that's the only reason for this loss (if at all), lol....

We've won 1 game here and lost 7 in the last 8.

 

[jnaveen1980]

You wonder how KOhli averages 50 in all formats. THis is how. Always first intent is to keep the ball on the gorund

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

I think this match will go down to the wire.

 

[andy0204]

Still Kaptaan will pick his buddy Dhawan in Worldt20.

 

[sharmaji]

It is refreshing to see Kohli playing unorthodox shots.

 

[MP2011]

Must say, Rahul has come back well over last few months...Didn't expect him to...

 

[Space Cat]

We needed 230 with this attack. We just dont have the depth.

 

[Aman]

Well experimenting seems pointless.

Boult and Lockie will come in for the noobs in the WC.

Depth is non existent. Disappointing stuff from Bennett and Ish so far, so many freebies.

 

[jnaveen1980]

We needed 230 with this attack. We just dont have the depth.

More to do with pitch and ground. In direct contrast with Australian grounds

 

[andy0204]

Kaptan is promoting his cartoon.

 

[MP2011]

RRR less than 10, probably for the first time in Indian innings.

 

[Test lover]

We needed 230 with this attack. We just dont have the depth.

Don't worry this score is enough for India .NZ will win by 10 Runs

 

[jnaveen1980]

Both batsmen are beautiful to watch. No slogging

 

[Aman]

Short filth from Santner

 

[jnaveen1980]

KL Rahul is on his way to becoming a T20 success

 

[Space Cat]

I know 1 more wicket and we are into the tail but these two are destructive.

 

[Aman]

Our bowlers have no idea how to bowl at Eden Park. Not surprising they couldn't defend 230 with bowling like this.

 

[Aman]

How do you miss that...

Lifeline for Kohli.

 

[Test lover]

Dropped

 

[jnaveen1980]

spliced.

 

[Space Cat]

Of all people it goes to Sodhi. He would give Chahal a run for his money.

 

[jagatk]

Really riding his luck here kohli.

 

[Hitman]

) That should have been taken.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dropped

He didn't even touch the ball lol

 

[Aman]

Tickner has looked good when he hasn't bowled slower balls.

 

[Aman]

Lol now a no ball that wasn't a no ball is given.

 

[Space Cat]

This is really poor for NZ. Although thats a wrong call on the no ball.

 

[jnaveen1980]

) That should have been taken.

It was a steepler. So hard.

 

[Test lover]

He didn't even touch the ball lol

He completely misjudged ,he have enough time to take the catch

 

[Aman]

And of course it's 6.

 

[jnaveen1980]

53 in 23 balls KL Rahul .Amazing hit !!

 

[jagatk]

Nice to see **** umpires exist everywhere and not just here.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Freak flick Rahul. He's a hell of a talent

 

[Aman]

Our luck in LOIs has been zero since the WC Final.

Used all of it to get to the Final and are getting hit hard since then.

 

[sindhiboy]

Bye rishab pant. Looks like pant will get a long break from limited overs cricket

 

[MP2011]

This has been a stupendous innings from Rahul...

 

[Space Cat]

Rough over for Tickner. Should of had Kohli but ends up going for 15.

 

[Aman]

I hope it's just an off night for Santner and the Aus tour hasn't destroyed his confidence.

 

[jagatk]

Bye rishab pant. Looks like pant will get a long break from limited overs cricket

Pandey is a rahane level t20 player. He will have to make way for pant if he gets to bat a few times.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kane is a good captain. But hard to defend totals here if batsmen get going. Only way they can come back is with wicket of these 2.

 

[Aman]

Not good enough Ish.

Ish getting booed by fans..

 

[Aman]

Kane is a good captain. But hard to defend totals here if batsmen get going. Only way they can come back is with wicket of these 2.

The bowling has been dire - short and wide filth.

Southee and Tickner have been the only two who have bowled well.

 

[Space Cat]

I have serious concerns with how unprepared NZ have looked going into games the past year. Sure we arent the most talented team but we normally have a well thoughtout plan and work as a team. This is all over the place bowling.
