You cannot come swinging your bat on a pitch like this that too against guys like Boult.

Dude you need to have confidence in your team. All I dia needs is one batsman to score a 50. Only 2 are 3 are capable of scoring a hundred but India's top six can score 50s.
 
so much overhyping of Boult going on here.. yeah he is a good bowler and can swing it but he isn't a hybrid of Wasim and McGrath.. he isn't picking 4 or 5 wickets with the new ball
 
It will be a farce if NZ flukes their way into the final lol. That might just happen. 211 in 46 overs they were literally crawling with 27 overs worth of dot balls.

not gonna happen m8.....our guys will chase down whatever we have to chase....give +ve energy :)
 
Lmao Nz have had so much luck wouldn't surpise me if they win this with DLS but uncle told me money has been transferred to Neeshams and Taylors account
 
No rain predicted from 3pm ..so game should be ON in about 45 minutes from now.
 
At no point NZ made 148 in 20 overs. They are 211 in 46 overs. Which means 63 in 26 overs? Seriously? This is ridiculous. Their last 5 wickets are not worth many runs.

If they had 20 overs to play they would have played more aggressively and not be concerned with saving wickets. Can’t really compare
 
Looks like a repeat of the 1999 semi at the same ground.
NZ won toss a decided to bat.
NZ 241/7
Pak 242/1

Lol your uncle. So who will be rich in the final?
 
Considering this is just 240, it will be better if I dia's middle order can chase it. Will be a boost for the final. But again....

You have 10k posts and do not even understand cricket to come up with such posts.

Maybe post less and listen/read more?
 
237 in 46 is like chasing 270 in 50.
NZ has gotten so lucky this WC. First qualifying with the help of NRR and now this!
 
Nz might have got away with one here going to rain till 7pm... hope they come up with a better plant tomorrow & not this pathetic 90s type keep wckts in hand style.
 
Set to rain for the next 3 hours looking at weather sites. Chance of some sun tomorrow.
 
Lol people crying about NZ. Making it all the more hilarious when they troll everyone and win this semi.

The game will continue from where they left today. Its not going to b fresh game.
 
I stand to be corrected, but I think if India do not get 20 overs of batting, it's start again tomorrow.

If it rains for 1 hour more they will start losing overs. NZ innings will be lost and Indians overs will start to be get less and we can have at least 20 overs game which if it rains till xut off time today then they will get them done tomorrow. That's what I have understood
 
Did not expect this one bit. Batting second is advantageous only if the opposition is around 300 or 325 not 211. It is actually bad batting second.
 
Will be in India's favour if it is rained out today and match restarts tomorrow. Despite India's batting prowess it won't be easy to chase in a WC semi a middling score with overcast conditions, ball swinging miles and a charged up Kiwi attack.

start again from scratch tommorw....is like having ur teeth removed without anesthesia or sitting for your that surprise/shock math exam without any prep.....soo unfair to our guys fantastic efforts so far....a pity ....that should NOT happen
 
15:05 Local Time, 14:05 GMT, 19:35 IST: It is still raining, but if you're still confused about the bits and pieces of the game, here's some detailed analysis. 'The scorer says the match referee will take a call on if he feels a 20-over chase is possible for India. So roughly they'll need about 80 minutes for it (take 1.5 hours as the ceiling) It is understood that the referee will try to do everything possible to try and get a result today. If the referee makes a call to reduce it to 20 overs a game and they're not able to, when it resumes tomorrow it'll still be a 20 over chase

Forecast is not too bad so hopefully we will get game done tonight.

Don't think that's possible tbh. Seems very unfair.
 
There is no restart of match tomorrow as i understand. It will be continued from today. Most likely a T20 match

T20 with a chase of 140-150 or whatever gives me the absolute shivers......wht the fridge....anything can happen in that lottery....throw in a dicey pitch, and heavy outfield....my gosh,....our guys have to be switched on from ball one....
 
Pallav says: The reserve day will be a continuation not a restart, assuming play commenced on the original match day. If no play was possible on the original planned match day, a full 50-over per team match will commence on the reserve day, weather permitting. -- Correct
 
Target of 148 in 20 overs is just ridiculous. D/L method needs to be revised already. In T20 terms, NZ were heading for a 125-130 score.
 
Despite me hoping for an Indian defeat it will be REALLY unfortunate if NZ manage to sneak through because of bad weather. Had it been a normal sunny day India would have slaughtered this NZ side on most surfaces. NZ have been really fortunate at this WC, first they enter the semis through the NRR backdoor despite losing to all of the top 5 sides and now they have the weather going in their favour which is balancing the scales.
 
Match will be continued for full 50 overs tomorrow if there is no play today. Good for us.

Even a T20 with 140 target is good as we bat till no 9 today.
 
NZ is going to win the world cup by beating England in the final like Pakistan did in 1992 lol I can see the destiny.

If NZ knew they were batting 20 overs, they wouldn't bat this slow. Plus Bumrah got more than 4 overs. D/L method takes everything into account.
 
20 over game or 46 over game or full game tomorrow. It's advantage India. Indians are freaking out unnecessarily. This is a gun batting lineup for these kind of scores and chases. Anything par or below par, India will breeze through.

NZ scored 148 of 38 overs.... wow that aint good from Indian viewpoint.
In a T20 148 can be tricky:vk2

Not true. If they knew they had 20 overs to go they would have had a move on early and also would’ve be afraid to lose wickets in pursuit of quick runs
 
This ain't the English batting lineup to freeze and collapse. A T20 game would be right up India's alley.

Basically an imaginative calculation. Not based on anything. If anything they batted entire 46 overs like a test match lol Not even like one dayers. With just 3 overs to go.. how can you say they would have reached 148 in 20 overs when they are 211 with 3.1 overs to go and 5 wickets down against 2 overs from Bumrah. How can we come up with a ridiculous number. Reduction of 26 overs equal to reduction of 63 runs.
 
Hope the game gets washed out. Perfect justice for this ridiculous world cup marred by rain more than any other world cup.

Don't you think NZ would've batted more aggressively if they knew it was a 20 over innings?
Having said that, i feel bad for India who have done a great job today.

DLS scores are better for new Zealand.

With our exceptional bowling effort, we need to chase more!!
 
India should hope it rains all night now lol

Lol no. They'd fancy the 20 overs. Neesham and QDG will bowl 8 with Santner and Williamson bowling another 4 with a wet ball. Henry has been traveling all world cup. They need to play to play Boult carefully and they can tackle pace of Fergie. They play all these players in IPL every year.
 
Not to be a killjoy but over the past couple of weeks I've been reading and listening to a lot of material on session fixing. So much so that in one video during a live broadcast the guy correctly predicts when 4s are hit and how many balls will be left to spare.

This game has the classic ingredients of session fixing.
Till the 43rd over not one over had more than 10 runs (#27 had exactly 10 runs) , this would have made someone a killing in the satta market.
Isnt it weird that there is only 1 Manhattan like over i.e. 44th , typically you'd see 2 or 3 in the death overs.

For the entire match just 1 over went for over 10.

Yea.. but how can you say they would reach exactly 147 lol they could have collapsed and bowled out for 100? My point is the end target based on some arbitrary calculation. with 94% of the game gone only 6% to go, they were not even going to get 230. If they were like 140 for 4 i 30 overs i can understand that target as 20 overs to go. IN this case only 3.1 overs to go.

Ironically not even one match of the hosts has been rain effected.... the stars are perfectly aligning for England.
 
DL method is a mathematical miracle we are lucky to have such calculations
remember the rubbish rain rule we had in 92 that knocked out SA

DLS takes into consideration of the batsman in the crease and the number of wickets lost. The last 5 overs hurt India a bit. The lesser the number of overs, the higher the RRR will be if the bat first team has wickets in hand. Also, it is easy to chase down targets in lesser number of overs
