India [252] defeat New Zealand [217] by 35 runs to win the 5th ODI and win series 4-1

Rayudu playing the ball right under his eye, top class forward defence.
 
Is this a case of Indians putting off the gas paddle after winning the series or Kiwis have raised their game once the pressure was off? Last game was absolute hammering and this one might be a one sided one as well - without Kohli & MSD, one more wicket and Kiwis have basically reached Indian tail inside power play.
 
This might be an unpopular opinion but imo Shubman gill is better than Shaw.
 
There's the template to thrash India. Get them 17/3 and have Dhoni and Rayudu in ASAP.

Mostly just stupidity from the Indian players. Some of these shots are atrocious.
 
Indians should hope the wickets for the WC are all flat, because against a good team on a pitch that offers something, it's not going to be hard to knock over that top 3 early and get into that middle order.
 
Shubhman got 2 chances and botched both unlike Shaw. Don't think he will feature in Wc plans. Golden opportunity missed.

NZ should pray it is a dead rubber in world cup?
 
THe only interest in the match Gill is out.

Now MSD has the license to score 40(100) balls as the team is in trouble.

Vijay Shankar is in the team. Oh my!! The legend can’t be kept out of the game for too long.

They're not going to play this top 3 in the world cup. It's not easy to to knock over a top 3 that has Virat Kohli.

Dhawan and Rohit have played both these games and they've gone early. Kohli isn't great against the moving ball either in ODi's anway. He can't just wait it out like Test cricket, he's going to continue to play shots and offer chances.
 
I wouldn't mind msd n Ray tik toking. They have to in this scenario.

Can India get to 50?

Didn't look that weak in Asia Cup though - may be rather than Kohli, it's more to do with whom they are playing against; Kiwis are not minnows to be honest.

Asia Cup in UAE didn't have much lateral movement.. good enough pacers can exploit Indian line up in English conditions...
 
The Indian batsmen have made this look like a green top.

I didn't know they were this bad in these conditions.
 
Lol of course they are fatigued. We play more cricket across formats than any team apart from , possibly, England . But good on hobbits to prepare pitches to pretend they can actually compete with India D . :)

Agree. Its all about top 3 for india

Second time they've faced a moving ball and they're fatigued :))

Do you know what will happen if our bowling attack bowls first in these conditions?We are only batting first because we want to test our middle order.Bumrah,bhuvi,shami will destroy opposition lineups in such conditions.
 
Stopped watching after Gill got out! Oh well. Going to be a 150-200 total and NZ takes care of business within 25-30 overs

Their pacers actually can exploit that lateral movement more than most, so it evens out; but what doesn't even out is their batting isn't minnow level and in ODIs these days, 9 out of 10 wickets are 300+ per tracks.
 
Gill has wasted two opportunities so far , but I am sure he will get more chances , specially after the World Cup.

Dhawan and Rohit barely play tests. They have zero excuse to be bad in LOIs. Just like Cook had zero excuse to be bad in tests.

You got bowled out for 150 odd in the first match. A live match. What is your excuse? After bullying srilanka couldn't cross 250?
 
There goes Dhoni.

Right through him, stumps all over the place :akhtar

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WR incoming :tb

Would love to see when that happens.
But before that saying that they will destroy lineups is just uncalled for
