Daryl ul Haq 46*(81)

[jnaveen1980]

168/5 - 11 overs left .... 240 ???

Easily. INdia has no death bowling. Shami/Pandya can be easily targeted

 

[jamie smith]

Yes, Mitchell, Rizwan and Babar are all of the same caliber

No babar is a little bit better.

 

[Hitman]

Rona, dhoni already shuru ....

 

[jnaveen1980]

100 runs by NZ after 10th over.

 

[Rana]

Bracey playing like a tailender.

Moooltan Sooooltan number 1 pick

 

[jamie smith]

These 2 need to hit now.

 

[Devadwal]

NZ does have batting depth so need to takes wickets

 

[Bhaijaan]

Daryl ul Haq 47*(82)

#RizBar

 

[volcyz]

Bracewells batting is a one bit wonder

 

[jamie smith]

He is still a decent bowler.

Moooltan Sooooltan number 1 pick

 

[Rana]

Would love to see Misbah sitting on TV today criticising NZ’s batting

 

[BouncerGuy]

Statpadding Mitchell

 

[batandballbattle]

Mitchell needs to make up for tuk tukiya big time in the last 10

 

[jamie smith]

Anyone remembers bracewells 150 vs India

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This was the reason I wanted NZ to cause a major upset but seems not to be

NZ can't beat India with the mindset that they play with.

They should've taken the risk and bowl first but not having Henry at their disposal is a bit hard for them to defend now.

 

[Ahmed216]

100 runs by NZ after 10th over.

Never expected new zealanders to go on statpadding spree in a final

 

[Kianig89]

Santner should have came up, this is the final take inspiration from Imran and Dhoni

 

[jnaveen1980]

10 overs 1 for 30. Good spell.

 

[Azaad]

From way before the start of this tourney, pretty much knew it was all set up for India well in advance as they would never travel to Pak.

Playing and being in one place for 2.5 weeks will always help that team.

Bas kar bhai bas kar...they've lost all tosses - thoda credit dede...every match they've won with that disadvantage

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 172/5 (40 overs).

Final 10. How many can NZ get?

270 seems impossible now.

 

[Devadwal]

Jadeja 10 over 30 runs 1 wickets. Not bad

 

[Mas-LFC]

Pitch is sluggish. Gripping, some turning. one team is bowling 40 overs of spin, with 4 quality spinners. One team cant play spin well on such wickets. Well done ICC. #BoringFinalCT25

 

[jamie smith]

Darwan 48 off 85.
Phool samjha kya fire houn main.

 

[Rana]

Never expected new zealanders to go on statpadding spree in a final

So, Babar and Rizwan are on Mitchell’s level? That’s why Mitchell is batting like this here?

Is that what you are alluding to?

 

[sweep_shot]

Santner should have came up, this is the final take inspiration from Imran and Dhoni

Bracewell is a better hitter than Santner even though he is struggling today.

 

[Kianig89]

India on top, there bowling has become world class

Can go head on with the likes of McGrath Gillespie Lee & Warne, Watson

Akram, Shoaib , Saqlain , Waqar, Afridi

 

[Kianig89]

Bracewell is a better hitter than Santner.

They need to rotate strike 1st

 

[Devadwal]

Run out chance missed. Damn

Our fielding is very pathetic

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bas kar bhai bas kar...they've lost all tosses - thoda credit dede...every match they've won with that disadvantage

Toss isn't the be all end all but consistently being in one place and playing for a long period does.

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

Is Mitchell the Misbah for this final?

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

Bracewell is a better hitter than Santner even though he is struggling today.

So india is not bowling well? Just batsman not in form?

 

[jamie smith]

Darwan 49 off 87

 

[jnaveen1980]

Run out chance missed. Damn

Our fielding is very pathetic

lack of commonsense too. Not collecting the ball from behind the stumps. Kuldeep has done that twice in this CT>

 

[Rana]

@Devadwal ’s proper batting side 174-5 in 40 overs lol

 

[Kianig89]

The final so far has not lived upto expectation, any late blitz from NZ will be appreciated

 

[PakFan2010]

This pitch is very difficult.

230 will be a very competitive score.

 

[Devadwal]

@Devadwal ’s proper batting side 174-5 in 40 overs lol

Yes ,your favourite proper platinum players are playing.

Yad to hoga kuch ya yad dilaau??

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

The final so far has not lived upto expectation, any late blitz from NZ will be appreciated

India has allowed NZ in ... so many dropped catches missed chances
sub par performance

 

[Kianig89]

Daryl Mitchell needs to lead the cause otherwise its a complete bottle job

 

[sweep_shot]

This pitch is very difficult.

230 will be a very competitive score.

No.

250 is needed minimum.

270 would be good.

 

[globetrotter]

MZ is playing for draw this final

 

[Rana]

Yes ,your favourite proper platinum players are playing.

Yad to hoga kuch ya yad dilaau??

Which proper platinum players are playing? Daryl Mitchell is ultra platinum in a world where Rizwan and Babar are platinum

 

[jnaveen1980]

We are waiting for IPL to start This CT is just a sideshow.

 

[globetrotter]

No.

250 is needed minimum.

270 would be good.

Pitch isn’t turning, decent pitch… bad news for NZ

 

[volcyz]

Nz batting like 2015 world cup final vs aus

Embarrassing

 

[Human786]

NZ def looking for 240 ....

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

No.

250 is needed minimum.

270 would be good.

100 in 8 lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Great 50. He scored a couple of centuries against India in the world cup. He is maintaining average of 50 against us

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

Is Mitchell the Misbah for this final?

Misbah was better may be
Compare to Rizbar

 

[Kianig89]

The home advantage India got in this tournament is unprecedented

 

[Ahmed216]

Mitchell has done a Rizbab on NZ. What an ugly knock so far!

 

[Bhaijaan]

Daryl ul Haq 50*(91)

#RizBar

What an effort brother

Tumhe 21 toppon ki salaaami hae.

@Bhaag Viru Bhaag Jamure shuru ho ja

 

[globetrotter]

Daryl 50(91)….. Rizbar feel proud of themselves

 

[RidiculousMan]

Daryl Mitchell breaks the record of Rizwan and Babar for slowest 50 in this tournament.

 

[PakFan2010]

Mitchell is waiting for Shami and Pandya.

 

[Rana]

@Devadwal proper batsman 50 off 91

 

[batandballbattle]

real stinker of a 50

 

[Ahmed216]

The home advantage India got in this tournament is unprecedented

Unprecedented is the right word

 

[Devadwal]

NZ team know india can't chase over 240 so they are playing with a plan instead throwing the Wickets

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

No escape....with either sledgehammer sidhu who assaults ur senses on hindi comm or Harsha & nass on angrezi

 

[Kianig89]

Hopefully NZ will make it up for Mitchell stutter

 

[sweep_shot]

@Devadwal proper batsman 50 off 91

Mitchell has played good innings in the past. He is a good hitter.

But, he hasn't been in good form lately.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Today pitch has only 2 degree turn

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Daryl ul Haq 50*(91)

#RizBar

What an effort brother

Tumhe 21 toppon ki salaaami hae.

@Bhaag Viru Bhaag Jamure shuru ho ja

Apne baap ko yaad kar raha hai?

 

[Devadwal]

Unprecedented is the right word

The home advantage India got in this tournament is unprecedented

 

[Thanos]

Damn. Mitchell still not trying to hit hard.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Daryl Mitchell buried New Zealand today.

 

[Kriketer]

Sluggish pitch but India is really making NZ toil for runs, that's what ODIs should be all about, struggle for runs, dominant ball game and less of T20 tulla cricket. Hope NZ spinners can repeat the same and we ll have a really good game to watch. Let's go Kiwis you got this

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

hitting starts.. we have given so many chances
not happy

 

[jnaveen1980]

 

[Devadwal]

@Devadwal proper batsman 50 off 91

Yes he is missing pakistan bowler's , don't worry pakistan is playing a proper series with NZ team just after the champion trophy.

 

[kingusama92]

Least turning pitch of the Dubai games.

Incredible batting from NZ.

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 184/5 (43 overs).

 

[Ahmed216]

NZ need 70 in last 7 but they'll probably get 40

 

[Ahmed216]

Pointed this out earlier

 

[kron]

Again this was Kuldeep best ever performance in a key match as he pretty much failed every time prior to today

Even still he looks the most hittable today.

 

[Rana]

I think Mitchell’s kachey have twisted more than the pitch has spun

 

[kron]

Yea but could turn more at night?

 

[shah_1]

Misbah ul Mitchell

Well done

Man of the match
