[Devadwal]

Omg what a catch

They are saving 20-25 runs by fielding alone.

 

[kron]

Slow balls work really well

 

[FearlessRoar]

India has been exposed today.

 

[Devadwal]

Bakwas batting

 

[kron]

Shami sucks so bad

 

[Asif321]

Kiwis will easily beat Aussie in Lahore . And hope to face SA in Lahore for finals

 

[Ahmed216]

Bakwas batting

Statpadding masterclass

 

[Rana]

Kiwis will easily beat Aussie in Lahore . And hope to face SA in Lahore for finals

Kiwis are catching a flight to Singapore from Lahore after the match

 

[Devadwal]

Kiwis will easily beat Aussie in Lahore . And hope to face SA in Lahore for finals

Shut up Sanju. No one asked for your opinion

 

[Rana]

India has been exposed today.

What part of India? They have to bowl. We can talk about exposure after that.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Boundary size

 

[Devadwal]

India has been exposed today.

Bhai we are saving the energy for big match

 

[Ahmed216]

Aged Shami looks like a boiled potato

 

[FearlessRoar]

Most fielding dismissals in ICC Champions Trophy

116 - New Zealand
114 - India
104 - South Africa

 

[Devadwal]

Hardik power game is exposed by NZ .

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Only SA look like they might stop NZ but Australia in the final think NZ might choke.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pandya finally able to connect some

 

[Devadwal]

Too late now.

 

[kron]

Only SA look like they might stop NZ but Australia in the final think NZ might choke.

SA and Aus both will smash nz

India would beat SA and possibly Aus before grand finals but not in finals vs aus

 

[Bhaijaan]

What a shot !



Special hitting on the last delivery

 

[Rana]

Halal batting by Hardik in the last 5 overs

@daytrader

 

[kron]

That’s HOW YOU TREATW A TRUNDLER

HE BOWLS like my club cricket players in A grade lmao 110 to 130 pace

Hardly above 135

 

[FearlessRoar]

Struggles against pace

 

[mominsaigol]

Halal batting by Hardik in the last 5 overs

@daytrader

Quality lower order allrounder

 

[Rana]

Stupid there by Hardik. Could have ran 2. The deep boundary rider was never running him out at non strikers

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pandya bhai got enough muscle to dispatch the slow cutters for 98 m sixes

What timing and power

Natural born six hitter

 

[Bhaijaan]

Stupid there by Hardik. Could have ran 2. The deep boundary rider was never running him out at non strikers

Shami probably can’t run 2 on those
He has to bowl 10 overs here later lo

 

[kron]

Quality lower order allrounder

Also has winning record vs nz and Aus and SA

Very key player if India want to beat aust he was badly missed in 2023 final and pant

 

[Devadwal]

Pathetic from Hardik. Denied last ball run now 1st ball .

Now he will be out

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Take this to 260 and we can give a fight if we field well, really want to face Australia in the semis.

 

[kron]

Pandya bhai got enough muscle to dispatch the slow cutters for 98 m sixes

What timing and power

Natural born six hitter

And big game player

And also big phallus

 

[Ahmed216]

That’s HOW YOU TREATW A TRUNDLER

HE BOWLS like my club cricket players in A grade lmao 110 to 130 pace

Hardly above 135

He erred on length

 

[daytrader]

Halal batting by Hardik in the last 5 overs

@daytrader

Cashing in after getting set. Followed the template perfectly. Or maybe playing for his 50

Either case they have some on the board and can put up a fight

 

[Devadwal]

What ?? They haven't taken 2 runs now?

 

[Rana]

What is this guy doing? He’s missed out on 4 runs! By not attempting to run!

 

[Devadwal]

I want This Chapri to be out

 

[IAJ]

Pandya gone. SR of 100. okish

 

[Ahmed216]

WHAT AN EFFORT.
ye Phillips kya cheez ha

 

[Devadwal]

I want This Chapri to be out

Idiots gone

 

[Rana]

What a waste

250 was on by now

 

[Bhaijaan]

Should have run the 2 there last delivery. No excuses that time. Poor stuff

Pandya gone

Good knock from him.

250 was par score and we are 4 runs short still

 

[kron]

Oh man why send this powerless midget kuldeep

My wife can hit bigger sizes than this weak milksop

 

[AAli98]

Ind deliberately trying to avoid daddy Travis Head in the semis??

 

[globetrotter]

NZ attempted to injure india bowler

 

[Bhaijaan]

And big game player

And also big phallus

He’s total killer and a baller.

 

[Devadwal]

Are bhai wo phle se hi injured hai . Santner idiot

 

[Rana]

Ind deliberately trying to avoid daddy Travis Head in the semis??

Yeah Pakistan deliberately avoided Australia by losing to NZ and India

 

[OldWarHorse]

How has Kuldeep not improved in his batting at all?

 

[Bhaijaan]

The throw his Shami on the back. Damn.
Get well soon Chachu

 

[emranabbas]

India needs to win this to avoid facing Australia in semi finals if newzealnd wins they will defo be in the finals vs Australia

 

[Devadwal]

20 runs short

 

[dravidthewall]

NZ 250 to win to top the table

 

[Ahmed216]

If India lose this Shreyas and Axar should be held accountable for their selfish slow knocks

 

[Rana]

Matt Henry Titanic upper class guy always bowls well against Asian sides

 

[IAJ]

249 is a nothing score, just like Pakistan's 241. But India have the bowlers to defend this.

 

[kron]

Lmao Indian tullas letting a Trundler get 5 fer what a waste

Averaged 8.5 in this game vs India

 

[Bhaijaan]

Out

249/9 for us

Target 250

We got the par score.

20 short from a comfortable total but we have a decent total to defend on this surface it’s not going to be easy if our spinners get the turn.

I would say it’s game on.

 

[NeVerMind]

Shaheen, Naseem and Rauf should be shown this match on repeat to learn how to bowl at the death...perfection from the Kiwi quicks

 

[Bhaijaan]

Henry gets the deserved Michelle

 

[mango_bite77]

Test for Indian bowling

 

[OldWarHorse]

India needs to win this to avoid facing Australia in semi finals if newzealnd wins they will defo be in the finals vs Australia

Winner plays Australia in the semifinals

 

[kron]

If India lose this Shreyas and Axar should be held accountable for their selfish slow knocks

Oh ok
So not kohli
Not fatty
Not Rahul mental midget

But we should blame Iyer and axar who steadied the ship? Oh ok
Got it

 

[Romali_rotti]

I have a gut feeling about this. 249 doesn't look like a big score but this wicket looks real slow and turning. Nz needs to be careful jadeja and Kuldeep will be tricky..

 

[Mesozoic]

Matt Henry is the bowling equivalent of Travis Head against us.

 

[mango_bite77]

Shaheen, Naseem and Rauf should be shown this match on repeat to learn how to bowl at the death...perfection from the Kiwi quicks

They are superstars and don't need any lesson from anyone.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Ind deliberately trying to avoid daddy Travis Head in the semis??

We already beat them in T20 world cup semi final.

South Africa is the more dangerous

 

[jnaveen1980]

This has to be one of the most bizzarre XI for India. Just one regular seamer. That too uber unfit.

 

[mominsaigol]

Matt Henry is the bowling equivalent of Travis Head against us.

Satner = Steve smith
Henry = Travis head

Since satner only dominates India in tests

 

[jnaveen1980]

Uncle shami should quit playing cricket. He is very old.

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

This has to be one of the most bizzarre XI for India. Just one regular seamer. That too uber unfit.

Why the heck have they played 4 spinners are they playing in spinning cobra too many spinners kiwis will eventually get used to it.

 

[Devadwal]

Satner = Steve smith
Henry = Travis head

Since satner only dominates India in tests

Satner
Santner

 

[cricfan1992]

Looks like NZ men are finally going to win an ICC tournament

 

[Bhaijaan]

This has to be one of the most bizzarre XI for India. Just one regular seamer. That too uber unfit.

They’re considering Hardik a frontline pacer. I do agree it’s bizarre. I would have picked a younger Rana ahead of Mr ICC

 

[batandballbattle]

This pitch gets a little easier under lights. I don't think India can defend this even with good spinners. However they will have not seen much of Chakravarthy which could play to India's advantage.

 

[mominsaigol]

Satner
Santner

Can I ask why do you spam a Kevin Pieterson and Steve smith emoji on every comment?

Is this some village boy trend that I'm not aware of? Or is your husband telling you spam it left and right.

Just 34, can play till he is 37-38

 

[Devadwal]

4 spinner so surely one is going to bowl With New ball.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Moment Iyer got out India got into a pressure situation. Look who went missing. Lord Rahul.
