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

[jnaveen1980]

This has to be one of the worst fielding display by India. India has had pathetic fielding units before.

Daryl Mitchell vs India in ICC ODI events

63(101)
17(35)
134(119)
130(127)

344 runs at 86 avg

Very impressive but lost 3 of them no?

 

[Devadwal]

Kuldeep is easier for lefty but no option left

 

[Azaad]

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

How? Toss is a much bigger, tangible and real advantage on a wearing pitch which Dubai has had to offer through out the tournament. To win matches consistently with that disadvantage just proves how well balanced the Indian team is.

Sure playing at the same ground has had a subtle advantage for India (which was very well known before the start of the tournament and agreed by pcb) - but nothing more! It's not like NZ has not played here in this tournament or the surface has been any mystery

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Easy enough

This has to be one of the worst fielding display by India. India has had pathetic fielding units before.

Even Gill who is good and also Iyer fielded poorly both are gun fielders normally

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Kohli having fun

 

[batandballbattle]

Dont judge so soon.. NZ could have been all out at 150

Sorry but the pitch is not nearly as difficult as he has made it out to be
A little slow yes but not a bunsen by any means

 

[Ahmed216]

Spinners bowling in slog overs

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ is looking good for 230-240 here. Not enough.

 

[Asif321]

Any chance for kiwis to come back ? This is below par score

 

[jnaveen1980]

Spinners 144 runs 38 overs.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Struggles against the ball turning in

 

[sweep_shot]

Spinners bowling in slog overs

They only have 1 frontline pacer + Hardik.

 

[Devadwal]

Any chance for kiwis to come back ? This is below par score

240+ is match winning total on this ground

 

[globetrotter]

Any chance for kiwis to come back ? This is below par score

Yes, play series against Pakistan immediately

 

[jnaveen1980]

SHami is the only guy who can bail NZ out here. It is infuriating to see this unfit guy playing.

 

[Ahmed216]

They only have 1 frontline pacer + Hardik.

They don't need more on such a pitch

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Shami literally seems to have switched off today

 

[kron]

Don’t make me hate you shami
I respect this guy alot
One of the greats
Don’t bowl filth in a final

Rehn dey tu

Everything happens when you're playing in one place consistently without worrying about travelling and getting jetlagged.

Toss isn't something you can control and no I didn't say anything about Ind not having a balanced side. Everyone knew with 5 spinners it was the most adaptable team in the tourney and then other factors played its part too.

 

[kron]

Shami literally seems to have switched off today

Habit now

2nd or 3 rd final where is always off

Weird

 

[sweep_shot]

They don't need more on such a pitch

Yup. Agree.

 

[Ahmed216]

It seems NZ will reach about the same score as 2019 semi final. But they don't have henry today to break India's back

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was a 2 day match. If it were One day match India would have won.

 

[sweep_shot]

Funny boundary.

Good for NZ.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Again I'd say won't change the fact that 2023 and this tournament were both rigged

Never shortage of entertainment....Feb - march 2025 ...has uncovered some diamonds.....soon IPL will start - my cricket detox time...my time off....& Then to be continued in Asia cup 2025...

 

[Devadwal]

Shami is losing the match by bowling pathetic .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shami is a match loser

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Absolute crap bowling by shami

 

[sweep_shot]

Another big over for NZ. 11 off it.

NZ - 227/6 (48 overs).

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Habit now

2nd or 3 rd final where is always off

Weird

He's put on a few kgs and doesn't seem to be fully fit at the ripe age of 35.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Does India want to learn today?

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Shami is a match loser

We have never won an ICC tournament with Shami

 

[Devadwal]

We have never won an ICC tournament with Shami

Add mental midget KL in this list

 

[Deewana Mastana]

India should get this in 45 overs

 

[Kriketer]

NZ should declare, ye bhot hai India ke liye... 220 all out India

 

[FearlessRoar]

Pandya has been exposed as a bowler today.

 

[kron]

Pathetic
Mr icc

Huge failure in finals 3rd final he has failed

That’s why I don’t have him in top 3 in odi

Top 5 though

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Was he the difference maker?

 

[jnaveen1980]

We have never won an ICC tournament with Shami

They could have played Arshdeep. He is in great form.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Bracewell.

NZ need more.

 

[Devadwal]

Spinner still have 3 overs but Rohit is bowling with pacers

 

[FearlessRoar]

What a brutal hitter of the ball he is...

 

[kron]

This is why you don’t bloody pick a 4th seamer as your main bowler lmao

He should have been a fourth seamer

Dumb morons

 

[jnaveen1980]

India has so far gotten away with two of the worst death bowlers in India so far. This match they are costing

 

[globetrotter]

Shama Mohamed watch Rohit’s fielding

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

60 crore aur dene ka plan hai?

 

[kron]

Pathetic bowling

This is why arshdeep should have been picked

Dumb morons everywhere too many
Dumb idiots

Too many dolts

I can’t stand it

Useless wastrels

 

[Devadwal]

India has so far gotten away with two of the worst death bowlers in India so far. This match they are costing

Thank God philips was out early otherwise he would have taken NZ to 280+

 

[Ahmed216]

There's the clue for NZ pacers. Vary your pace

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 239/7 (49 overs).

Can they cross 250? That wouldn't be a bad score.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Thank God philips was out early otherwise he would have taken NZ to 280+

yes. Arshdeep should have played all along. He is the best death bowler in INdia after Bumrah.

 

[FearlessRoar]

What a captain Santner is! He sacrificed his wicket to keep Bracewell on strike.

 

[globetrotter]

Shami the looser… crap bowling

 

[Devadwal]

Jadeja football khel rha hai

 

[Thanos]

Game drifting away from India in last 5 overs.

 

[rhony]

Blinder from Bracewell. Also shows there are no demons in the pitch. Looks similar to aussie pitch

 

[Thanos]

Pacers have been pathetic today. Add poor fielding on top of it.

 

[kron]

Why would you pick an unfit old grandpa?????

Regardless of how many wickets he takes lmao

 

[sweep_shot]

Blinder from Bracewell. Also shows there are no demons in the pitch. Looks similar to aussie pitch

Hard to play slow bowlers here.

Pacers are leaking runs.

 

[Devadwal]

NZ is already surpass the match winning score.

As brother @RizwanT20Champ said india can't chase over 220

 

[sweep_shot]

50 for Bracewell. Great knock.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

NZ 251

 

[Human786]

superb by Bracewell ... they have a score ! target 252

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ end with 251/7 after 50 overs.

India need 252 to win.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They started off to get to 330 but ended up 80 short.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shami 9 overs 74 runs. what a match losing spell.

 

[kingusama92]

I'm surprised they managed to put up 251.

At least they've given themselves a chance here.

 

[rhony]

Looks underpar. Both teams will be happy. Right in the chaseable zone for India.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Absolute garbage pace bowling and fielding today
104 runs in 12 overs in Dubai of all places

 

[Rana]

Well batted Bracewell

 

[OldWarHorse]

Will be a comfortable chase

 

[RidiculousMan]

Rohit doesn't look particularly happy. India would've taken 250 to chase before the start of the game. But they hold they had on New Zealand in the middle. They shouldn't have let them score more than 230.

 

[Devadwal]

Pathetic Fielding coast india 35-40 runs which will be Major difference

 

[jnaveen1980]

They deserve it if they lose this for backing this fat unfit Shami. I know he is a GOAT ICC player. THat doesn't mean you can play him without any bowling fitness.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

India 254-5 in 45 overs

Kohli 100* off 100.

 

[sweep_shot]

I'm surprised they managed to put up 251.

At least they've given themselves a chance here.

For sure.

They were 174/5 after 40 overs. To reach 250 from there has been a good effort.

They were very slow during 21-40 overs.

 

[kron]

What a pathetic bowling performance from uncle old injured age fudging fraud shami

Very upset with this brain dead moron

Great bowler but he shouldn’t have played if he was unfit

And then averaging 71 in this game lmao what the hell
Finals choker

 

[batandballbattle]

Clutch from Bracewell but unfortunately Mitchell's tuk tukiya means that this will be very easy for India
