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

[jamie smith]

nz 99/3 after 19 overs.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Daryl bhai keeping the ROW proud by doing a RizBar

Why are you attacking RizBar here? Stick to the topic and stop trying to troll Rizbar.

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ need to take it deep.

I think 270-280 should be match-winning. NZ have better bowlers than Aussies this time.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Game is on balance.

NZ - 99/3 (19 overs).

Welcome back ! Hope was fading

 

[Rana]

A powerplay of 70 keeping NZ in the game

 

[NeVerMind]

Kuldeep Yadav’s improved alignment in 2025, with a closer landing position, better body control and an upright posture

Ate you trying to tell me that players from the opposition teams actually get coached to improve their skills rather than rest on their laurels?

This has blown my mind as a Pakistani fan!

 

[Devadwal]

Both the batsman are set now. Not good time ahead for us.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

250 is enough with finals pressure. This is a tough pitch and Kohli Rohit are known chokers in ODI finals. Only threats are Shrayas Iyar and Pandya.

 

[sweep_shot]

Surprised that NZ selected Nathan Smith. Chapman should've been selected probably (can bowl spin and bat).

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Nothing personal, I just don't like the Indian team. I have a soft spot for BVB after learning about his condition.

Aisi kya condition?
Its natural for you to not like my team bhai, its fair!

 

[RidiculousMan]

Batta ball by Varun

 

[Rana]

Surely that quicker one was a Chuck?

BCCI affecting opposition team selection ..

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

100%

 

[rhony]

Pandya'a role seems to be to get belted in the PP to take the shine off and get the spinners in. He bowls better with old ball

 

[Human786]

21 overs - 102/3

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Aisi kya condition?

Heard about it on PM from another poster. Will not mention it out of respect from my brother BVB.

 

[FearlessRoar]

India's spinners dictated the game by consistently hitting a good length.

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 102/3 (21 overs).

 

[jamie smith]

46 balls since the last boundary.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Batta ball by Varun

lol.. burn alert.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

@jamie smith I hope you criticise Mitchell and Latham here.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

@FearlessRoar any fun facts/stats to share about this game?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Bhaijaan, kya haal hai aapke?

 

[Bhaijaan]

ROW run rate down to 4.83

A proper RizBar at display

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

:come on!!

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

What is Mitchells plan here? Go slow till over 40?

 

[Rana]

Ramiz Raja @Devadwal makes his commentary entry for today

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Height jyaada hai shayad

 

[Bhaijaan]

Review for LBW by Jadeja against Latham

Too high

Review wasted by Bharat

 

[rhony]

Too high

 

[Rana]

I got those black oakleys Jaddu is wearing

Sick sunglasses

 

[Human786]

104/3 in 22 - NZ looking for 260 here

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 104/3 (22 overs).

 

[jamie smith]

Yeah that is pathetic batting.

No one beats that Rahul at choking

What a waste of space

 

[FearlessRoar]

@FearlessRoar any fun facts/stats to share about this game?

Yep bro, I have shared them here in MT and also in the respective threads of players – keep following.

how much do they cost?

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Need wickets .. this is not good for India

 

[jamie smith]

Mitchrell has regressed massively.He was a good player until 2024 wc but now bats like a tailender.

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 107/3 (23 overs).

 

[Rana]

how much do they cost?

£160

You can wear them anywhere outside of cricket/cycling too

The coloured Polaroids are a bit odd outside of cricket

 

[Mas-LFC]

If India wins this CT25 and if it means RS, VK, RJ. Will Retire. Then am all for it. Too many late 30s going on forever, isnt pleasing to watch. Cricket has to keep moving forward, new generation needs chances, need to see newer younger players coming up. Am all for that.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Yeah that is pathetic batting.

They have to rebuild here. 250 makes it 65-35 in NZ favor. 275 makes it 80-20 and anything more completely knocks India out. With Philipps and Santner to come NZ need to bide their time.

 

[Rana]

Afridi’s faster one was a Chuck too

Thanks.. I am looking to buy some for weekend games.

 

[jamie smith]

They cant even hit full tosses lol

 

[Human786]

OUT

 

[FearlessRoar]

Varun Chakravarthy has been a true mystery spinner in this tournament!

 

[kron]

They cant even hit full tosses lol

Yep that was a dolly

 

[rhony]

Latham wow. Key Key wicket. Reviewed

 

[kron]

Gone

 

[Ahmed216]

They cant even hit full tosses lol

Proper Rizbab act

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Come on!! we need this

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Varun Chakravarthy has been a true mystery spinner in this tournament!

Pitches have been favorable for him. Curious to see what happens in SENA. I don't rate him at all.

 

[jamie smith]

latham gone
nz 107/4

 

[kron]

Latham is gone
Can’t believe we lost a test series to this fraud and Cochin raghavendra albeit with some key players missing

 

[sweep_shot]

Latham is out.

 

[Croma]

Latham goes

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

 

[Asif321]

Everything falling apart

 

[Ahmed216]

Spinners have wrapped this up for India

 

[kron]

Pitches have been favorable for him. Curious to see what happens in SENA. I don't rate him at all.

I think he will do well in SA. His record is good there
He will do well in england

Not sure about Aus and nz

Different pitches

Wristies normally can take pitch out of equation

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Latham is out.

Oh bhaee please stop until the innings ends. Every time you post India do well.

 

[globetrotter]

Jaddu strikes….. 4th wkt down

Great chance for India to bundle out Kiwis under 180

 

[rhony]

Latham is gone because of Mitchel. Too conservative. Latham has the ability to.anchor

 

[kron]

Latham is a strong guy
Big arms. Not bad at all

Bulky nugget

 

[Josh]

Key wickets by kuldeep Today else it was going to be one sided match towards new zealand

 

[shah_1]

India will win this easily

 

[kron]

Latham is gone because of Mitchel. Too conservative. Latham has the ability to.anchor

Can’t blame Mitchell

Everyone else was playing like crap

Rachin got lucky twice

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Oh bhaee please stop until the innings ends. Every time you post India do well.

He is your Paw Paw when it comes to trolling.

 

[rhony]

Pitches have been favorable for him. Curious to see what happens in SENA. I don't rate him at all.

Bumrah will be playing instead of Varun in SENA. Horses for courses

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Looks like your black magic is stronger than sweep shot and Viru's.

 

[Rana]

This feels like the 99 World Cup final

 

[Golu-momin]

@Rana tell me where was you hiding after the 4th March but now came out from the cave

What’s wrong with you, @Rana brother is most unbiased poster and always support good cricket and if head is tullebaz anybody love to have those tullebaz who wins you final , Fakhar is only Pakistan batsman whom i rate your defination of tullebaz is wrong Don’t be bhakt support india and support good cricket btw you can troll @sweep_shot @Bhaag Viru Bhaag @(Nrc Pending) and @Kriketer @jamie smith they are bunch of cry babies

 

[jamie smith]

phillipxs wont last long against spin

 

[Mas-LFC]

Pathetic pitch for a final. Its holding up, turning, slow low bounce even. Disgraceful icc.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Oh bhaee please stop until the innings ends. Every time you post India do well.

Oieee.. You cant tell sweepy bhai what to do.. :
Let him cook !

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Let's see what this tulla Philip's does when he doesn't have a platform. There was a poster who said he's better than Babar after he made a big score on a highway in Karachi.

 

[mango_bite77]

When selection is made on the basis of conditions and merit, things do fall into place 9/10 times. Still can't believe Pakistan went with 1 specialist spinner.
