India (254/6) thump New Zealand (251/7) by 4 wickets to win the ICC Champions Trophy 2025

[sweep_shot]

These two should try to nudge around till 40th over. After that, they can go nuts.

These two can hit big. So can Bracewell, Santner, and Jamieson. I believe Nathan Smith is an all-rounder too.

If NZ don't get bogged down too much, they should reach 270.

 

[FearlessRoar]

We are living in the era of Glenn Phillips.

 

[Romali_rotti]

250 runs and I don't see Indians chasing this. This wicket is turning, satner will be a tough task for the Indians.

 

[jamie smith]

Mitchell needs to get a move on now.

 

[sweep_shot]

Four.

Much needed.

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ bats till 10. So they will get 250 easily

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 143/4 (32 overs).

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

250 runs and I don't see Indians chasing this. This wicket is turning, satner will be a tough task for the Indians.

NZ is one spinner short. Bracewell can't run through strong Indian lineup. With success for Axar in middle they bat pretty deep.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is why Daryl Mitchell was not picked in IPL this time around. He was struggling massively on turning wickets at chennai.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Daryl ul Haq 35* (65)

[Human786]

147/4 in 33

 

[Devadwal]

Match is slipping away guys. Great Partnership building up

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ is one spinner short. Bracewell can't run through strong Indian lineup. With success for Axar in middle they bat pretty deep.

NZ have 5 spinners --> Santner, Bracewell, Phillips, Rachin, and Williamson.

 

[batandballbattle]

What a tournament India is having. If India wins today, one of them between Ro-Ko may retire from ODIs

More likely to be Rohit, Kohli will keep going til the 2027 WC I feel.

 

[jnaveen1980]

250 runs and I don't see Indians chasing this. This wicket is turning, satner will be a tough task for the Indians.

NZ fileding won't be crappy like ours

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

NZ have 5 spinners --> Santner, Bracewell, Phillips, Rachin, and Williamson.

They are playing against India not Pakistan who gifts wickets to part timers.

 

[FearlessRoar]

New Zealand also have four spin options:

• Rachin Ravindra
• Glenn Phillips
• Michael Bracewell
• Mitchell Santner

 

[sweep_shot]

114 dot balls so far.

Too many.

 

[Human786]

run rate has just about died 149/4 in 34

 

[Rana]

Jaddu improved massively

Used to be the spinner you could target. Gives nothing away with the flat line trajectory

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 149/4 (34 overs).

 

[jamie smith]

lord mitchel 37 off 68 lol

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Where are the wickets... we dont need them reaching 250 by the end

 

[Ahmed216]

This is why Daryl Mitchell was not picked in IPL this time around. He was struggling massively on turning wickets at chennai.

Haven't watched IPL since 2009 but don't think IPL surfaces are anything like this one.
They are usually high scoring encounters.
Small grounds flat pitches. I think not picking him is a mistake he's a big hitter

 

[Mas-LFC]

Some bollywood former once known more well actors are in the building like Aftab and Vivek

 

[Croma]

Rohit proving his poor fitness

 

[Devadwal]

Dropped

 

[mango_bite77]

Sharma ji kya kr rhe hai ap

 

[BouncerGuy]

Mitchell needs to speed up now... He is not helping his team here now

 

[Mas-LFC]

lord mitchel 37 off 68 lol

Chris Cairns played a 51 ball 17 runs once to win a ODI game against BD. So this might be a gem!

 

[kron]

Yes, but it doesn't change the fact that they severely handicapped themselves.

They try portray themselves as the land of fast bowlers who are tough and strong lol
Hence the selections

But truth is it’s always been the opposite barring Wasim Waqar imran and shoaib. Basically since 2008 ish

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 153/4 (35 overs).

 

[Rana]

NZ need 10 per over from here to make something useful

 

[RidiculousMan]

Fell right like the Vada Pav my street vendor flips

 

[globetrotter]

Hard catch for Rohit

 

[Ahmed216]

More likely to be Rohit, Kohli will keep going til the 2027 WC I feel.

Will be good for ROW.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If India had NZ fielding unit NZ would have been in serious trouble. That was an easy catch for most guys at that spot

 

[kingusama92]

Game is done.

I don't see NZ winning it from here.

 

[RidiculousMan]

PTSD for Pakistan fans actually

This was the great team destroyed by Misbah and Imran Khan

For you of course.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Rohit Sharma stretched himself too much in an attempt to take this catch.

 

[batandballbattle]

tactical drop

 

[kron]

Wouldn’t say drop. That was a tough one
Rohit couldn’t have possibly caught that

only super man glen Phillips can

 

[RidiculousMan]

Game is done.

I don't see NZ winning it from here.

Mitchell paid tribute to Babar

 

[globetrotter]

I dia need 2 quick wickets…. to send kiwis packing

 

[Rana]

For you of course.

Indeed. Your hero’s destroyed Pakistan cricket

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

run rate has just about died 149/4 in 34

Shows how crazy Rachin Ravindra opening was .

 

[kron]

tactical drop

Very tough chance tbh. Cant blame rohit

Only Phillips jaddu gill and green Cummins and perhaps Iyer can take those kind of catches

 

[jnaveen1980]

Game is done.

I don't see NZ winning it from here.

They bat deep. 15 overs to go. They are in fairly decent position.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Rohit has done a great service here by dropping mitchell

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shows how crazy Rachin Ravindra opening was .

He was bashing Pandya lol Got two lives

 

[Bhaijaan]

Daryl ul Haq 41* (76)

#RizBar

 

[jnaveen1980]

Another one down. 5 catches dropped by India today

 

[RidiculousMan]

Butterfingers

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Another drop, this time Gill

 

[batandballbattle]

Very tough chance tbh. Cant blame rohit

Only Phillips jaddu gill and green Cummins and perhaps Iyer can take those kind of catches

yeah jokes aside it's a tough grab

 

[globetrotter]

121 dot balls means almost 20 overs India’s

 

[Croma]

Now Gill drops... very hard to see India winning this

 

[BouncerGuy]

Another drop.... this could be expensive... Glenn

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

yaar kitne drop karenge

 

[Devadwal]

Gill dropped . idiot's

 

[Mas-LFC]

DROPPED!

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Haven't watched IPL since 2009 but don't think IPL surfaces are anything like this one.
They are usually high scoring encounters.
Small grounds flat pitches. I think not picking him is a mistake he's a big hitter

IPL is a low quality league for tullas like Head, Abhasek Sharma and Philips to succeed. It is no barometer to international success.

 

[kron]

yeah jokes aside it's a tough grab

Damn it just when I said that gill dropped a dolly

Should have been gone

 

[rhony]

Tf is happening with the catching. Not a single catch by fielders today

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 156/4 (36 overs).

Drinks break.

 

[BDfanforever]

So many dropped catches in Dubai. Terrible ground, ball just popps out of hand.

 

[Mas-LFC]

GP. Easy! Plenty left. Need you there in the mid 40overs.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

This is a tough tough pitch.. NZ are not going to give us so many drops...

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ would have been in far serious trouble if only they had held on to their catches

 

[globetrotter]

One more dropped…. If they catch all, NZ would have all out under 150

 

[Red-Indian]

yaar kitne drop karenge

It's a miracle we win so much after allowing a handicap of 20-30 runs to teams like New Zealand every game

 

[mango_bite77]

Pakistan in Indian jersey

 

[kingusama92]

They bat deep. 15 overs to go. They are in fairly decent position.

They can barely grab a single.

This pitch is certainly not as difficult as they're making it seem.

 

[kron]

Gill dropped . idiot's

It’s ok it happens

Maybe he will perform with bat

I never rated Kuldeep and rightfully so. He did well today so far

Gill may do well too.

 

[sweep_shot]

GP. Easy! Plenty left. Need you there in the mid 40overs.

Yeah.

They shouldn't make the same mistake as Australia did. Aussies tried to accelerate at the wrong time.

Need to take it deep. This is that sort of pitch.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

India are such chokers. Losing 15 tosses in a row and what is it 5 dropped catches today LOL

 

[NeVerMind]

Another one down. 5 catches dropped by India today

Must be the label 'Pakistan' on their team shirts causing this...

 

[GLORY OF '92]

250 runs and I don't see Indians chasing this. This wicket is turning, satner will be a tough task for the Indians.

This isn't 1990s India. They will chase up to 290 here.

 

[Ahmed216]

Yeah.

They shouldn't make the same mistake as Australia did. Aussies tried to accelerate at the wrong time.

Need to take it deep. This is that sort of pitch.

That mistake was made by Rachin and Kane. They looked to score off Kuldeep straightaway. In both cases they were trying to create a shot

 

[batandballbattle]

they have to make the drops count by getting a move on now
