India (209/3) smoke New Zealand (208/6) by 7 wickets to take 2-0 lead in the 5-match T20I series

[Energy]

This guy Foulkes is a cartoon.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is nervous bowling ...kiwis are intimated , bowling has been poor

 

[sweep_shot]

This guy Foulkes is a cartoon.

He has a very long run-up.

Runs in like Brett Lee or Shoaib Akthar but bowls like Ashok Dinda.

 

[Justcrazy]

This over releases the pressure for Indians .

Exactly. I picked on him during the ODIs too. He's taking NZ back into the Chris Harris dibbly dobbly era.

Chris Harris was useful. He kept it tight with the ball and was handy with the bat.

Foulkes is far worse.

But, to be fair, Foulkes is a bench player. He doesn't get selected for big matches.

 

[Local.Dada]

T20 especially bilateral T20 is the most auraless cricket in the world.

 

[Justcrazy]

Zak is a bogus bowler , worse than Harris Rauff

 

[CricVet]

A very wierd decision to get Henry out of the attack this early

 

[Justcrazy]

24 of that over ....

Kiwis will be brave to give him another over

 

[Local.Dada]

Zak is a bogus bowler , worse than Harris Rauff

Who is Zak?

 

[sweep_shot]

24 of that over ....

Kiwis will be brave to give him another over

NZ shouldn't bowl him. They have more than 5 bowlers.

 

[Local.Dada]

Ishan Kishen, making a statement today

 

[Justcrazy]

Ishan Kishan

28 from 11 balls , what a innings he is playing , he is is playing a blinder here.

 

[SportsWarrior]

This is a great opportunity for others to show what they can do. i hope his happens couple of more times in the series to make india sort out their middle order better

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 42/2 (4 overs; target: 209).

167 to win from 16 overs.

 

[Local.Dada]

This is a great opportunity for others to show what they can do. i hope his happens couple of more times in the series to make india sort out their middle order better

Ishan Kishen would walk in as first choice keeper for at least 90% of the top international sides. He is our 3rd or 4th choice. Can’t beleive we play Jitesh and Dhruv Jurel over him.

 

[globetrotter]

Ishan Kishan is on fire

 

[Champ_Pal]

He has a very long run-up.

Runs in like Brett Lee or Shoaib Akthar but bowls like Ashok Dinda.

Al Amin Hossin or Rubel Hossien.

 

[Energy]

NZ have experimented too much and look like a nervous side under Santner.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Told you so @Champ_Pal

This is still a great batting wicket. India are a batsman short with Axar's injury.

If India are only 3 or 4 down when the score is 100, they will win it.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Kishan is pocket dynamite. Very similar to Pant, but better player in T20's.

 

[globetrotter]

Well played Ishan Kishan....50 in 21 balls

 

[Justcrazy]

India batting has been carnage in the power play , 75 . 2

India well ahead right now.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Well played Ishan Kishan....50 in 21 balls

Out of syllabus stuff

 

[Champ_Pal]

Ishan Kishen, making a statement today

I wonder who they have to drop when Tilak comes back.

I suspect Samson might be on the chopping block if he fails in 3rd ODI too and Kishen scores well in 3rd T20 too.

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate is less than 10 .

 

[Champ_Pal]

India batting has been carnage in the power play , 75 . 2

India well ahead right now.

They play for the glory.

One of these days, it does not work and the team will fold badly in some important game.

 

[CricVet]

Well deserved phainta to Kiwis - LoL...they thought that a 2nd or 3rd grade bowler will keep the pressure on after taking away Henry from attack. We'll done Kishan

 

[Justcrazy]

I wonder who they have to drop when Tilak comes back.

I suspect Samson might be on the chopping block if he fails in 3rd ODI too and Kishen scores well in 3rd T20 too.

Kishan can open the batting as well.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indian fielding let NZ off the hook badly. Plus with wet ball lot of full tosses by Indians

 

[Justcrazy]

Kishan was dropped from the team after scoring 200 in OD ..... he was always a strong hitter

 

[Ali Active]

where was this guy all this time

 

[OldWarHorse]

Too many lefties around this Indian setup. Cant argue with their quality though

 

[Ali Active]

why they prefer gill over this

 

[jnaveen1980]

We played Shubman gill lol

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis need wickets here desperately . Indians motoring along here.

 

[Ali Active]

This ishan guy is seriously underrated

 

[globetrotter]

Ishan Kishan currently in AS mode

 

[Sachin fan]

I think india is a one man team depending on Ishan, remove Ishan and india will lose.

 

[jnaveen1980]

test

 

[globetrotter]

This ishan guy is seriously underrated

In past he played such innings

 

[CricVet]

Kiwis most likely will win. But, they better not make this mistake again. Keep the pressure on when on top against top sides.

 

[globetrotter]

Nz bowlers are under tremendous pressure

 

[Local.Dada]

Kiwis most likely will win. But, they better not make this mistake again. Keep the pressure on when on top against top sides.

Anything can happen in cricket but how did you determine that when more than half the score is achieved already in 8 overs

Wishful thinking?

 

[sweep_shot]

83 to win from 67.

NZ need some quick wickets.

 

[Rajdeep]

Kishan should open with Sharma in WT20

 

[CricVet]

Anything can happen in cricket but how did you determine that when more than half the score is achieved already in 8 overs

Let's watch...

 

[globetrotter]

128-2 in 9 overs

This is why Bangladesh team don't want to play in India

 

[Local.Dada]

Loving Kishan 2.0. Improved hitting against fast bowling too even though most of the kiwi bowlers are trundlerish.

 

[sweep_shot]

Ishan is out.

128/3.

 

[globetrotter]

Well played Ishan .... 76 in 32 balls

 

[Hellion]

The guy posted a still picture of Axar with a straight arm and called it suspect.

Why are you taking such ignorant opinions seriously ?

They are blinded by their nationalism

 

[jnaveen1980]

Required run rate 7.47.

 

[Hellion]

Ishan is out.

128/3.

You can stop jumping now, fatty.

 

[globetrotter]

Kishan should open with Sharma in WT20

Yes... Sanju should come in middle order

 

[Katwalindian]

Zak is a bogus bowler , worse than Harris Rauff

Don't insult haris rauf like that...he is good t20 bowler... he brainfaid in couple of t20s doesn't makes him bad bowler.....

 

[Justcrazy]

India need 81 runs in 65 balls.

Kiwis need something special to win from here .

 

[Justcrazy]

Don't insult haris rauf like that...he is good t20 bowler... he brainfaid in couple of t20s doesn't makes him bad bowler.....

Complete brainless bowler , has cost Pakistan games.

 

[Local.Dada]

Kishen out @CricVet ki dua kabool ho gayi. We May looooose

 

[rpant_gabba]

Don't insult haris rauf like that...he is good t20 bowler... he brainfaid in couple of t20s doesn't makes him bad bowler.....

Agree. Rauf should be the spearhead on WC26

 

[Local.Dada]

Anything less than 12 rpo from Sodhi is unacceptable as an Indian fan.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Tilak doesn't recover Kishan will replace him.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is a massive ground. Lot of 2s on offer

 

[Local.Dada]

Bring in Jaiswal for Samson and the team will be nearly unbeatable.

 

[Devadwal]

NZ are on top.


View attachment 160945

They are playing against india not against minnows Bangladesh/ Pakistan.

 

[jnaveen1980]

After 468 days a 50 for SKY

 

[Champ_Pal]

SKY finally a 50 to his name.

 

[Champ_Pal]

It just looks like a formality now.

NZ bowling and fielding were mediocre to say the least.

 

[Devadwal]

Bring in Jaiswal for Samson and the team will be nearly unbeatable.

Agree and Kishan is already WK so jaiswal can easily replace Samson.

 

[sweep_shot]

59 to win from 53.

I am afraid game is probably gone for NZ now.

 

[Hellion]

This reminds me of the 2nd Asia Cup IND v PAK match where Abhishek crushed the Pakistani bowling attack and reduced the chase to 6 RPO after 10/11 over mark.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Come on New Zealand!

 

[Mas-LFC]

Wicket must be absolute highway.

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

Say whatever you want india is just way ahead of other teams they are destroying these sena teams in t20 it was a miracle how close the asia cup final went india just too good man nothing you can do to stop them only hope is you catch them off guard even that look impossible in t20.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Ramoos have the habit of celebrating too early as in op langoor. And then reality sticks

Time to pull out the prayer mat to pray for an Indian defeat. Only God can save NZ here. Do it man!!

 

[globetrotter]

Its raining 4s and 6s..... good to c all batters in great form

 

[Champ_Pal]

Even Henry is going at 15 RPO.

 

[Devadwal]

No come on NZ, Australia, Pakistan ye hj karna World T20 main , Bangladesh kick out kar diya

Come on New Zealand!

 

[jnaveen1980]

SKY's form is good news for India. If SKY hits his peak one more time it will be a dangerous side
