India vs New Zealand | Semi Final 1, World Cup | Old Trafford | 9th Jul, 2019 | New Zealand Innings

Hardik back on field! Good news

 

[KingKhanWC]

That spin is going to make chasing anything above 250 difficult with santner in the opposition.

Colin & neesham will bowl up to the keeper at times taking the pace off , cutters etc .

Good opportunity for India’s top 3 to show how good they are . After them no chance

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Williamson needs to play the knock of his life.

Looking good so far.. he is indeed a great batsman

 

[Aman]

Man this turn...

Kane needs to bowl 10.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Hardik back on field! Good news

Was he on Snapchat?

 

[Afhan Ali]

ATG Tayler

 

[Adijazz1706]

Turning miles, Jadeja feeling at home on this Saurashtra pitch

 

[Sidilicious]

Had we played Jahdav, we could have bowled 30 overs of Spin!!!

Indians can chase 250+ on a slow wicket. Key is to restrict NZ to sub 270

 

[Afhan Ali]

2 hours of boring batting

 

[KingKhanWC]

Indians can chase 250+ on a slow wicket. Key is to restrict NZ to sub 270

250 as long as they see out Boult .

Should be great to watch if nz get anywhere near 275

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Wicket coming!!!

 

[rhony]

Had we played Jahdav, we could have bowled 30 overs of Spin!!!

I think he played his last for India in that Eng game where he couldn't hit beyond the square

 

[kingusama92]

As soon as Ganguly starts speaking...

 

[saadibaba]

Williamson is the current day Miandad. Hats off to him. Without him this NZ team will be worse than BD.

 

[rhony]

250 as long as they see out Boult .

Should be great to watch if nz get anywhere near 275

That's it. The initial burst of Boult will be the game.

 

[saadibaba]

As soon as Ganguly starts speaking...

Lol, that is from a great movie "Phantom Thread"

 

[Pakhs]

NZ will do well to even get 250 runs from here.

 

[jagatk]

Don't think it's a slow wicket, the balls spinning yes but it wasn't sticking in the wicket for any of the pacers.

 

[Smbhayi]

One bad game. He was ok at death btw. Look at Shami's death bowling against Eng and BD. BD came back into the game because of Shami. BK bowled well today and can bowl at death unlike u know who.

He got perfect bowling condition and he's unable pick a wicket, yeah good bowling indeed...

 

[Ram Shekhar]

NZ will do well to even get 250 runs from here.

If they are 110/2 after 30, I expect them to score 270+

 

[Aman]

Batting like darpoks...

These need to get singles going and lay a platform for the middle order to go for it.

 

[oneindia]

Is the match fee to air in India ? I’m here paying for Ganguly to torture my ears

purpose served. That was the plan

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

Steve Waugh praising Warne.Absolute professional who dosent let personal issues cloud his cricketing judgement. On the other hand; guys who are bitter about waugh senior, absolutely trashes his cricketing achievement!

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Was he on Snapchat?

lol....tinder more like it...

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

This wicket favors ind.

 

[KingKhanWC]

NZ will start taking more risks after 30 overs . Lose one of these two India could bowl them out cheaply .

Monty was decent At Manchester too

 

[Afhan Ali]

Just tuk tuk
What is tayler looking for
Poor lad

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Those 6 overs of Hardik are the key.. Williamson will be shrewd enoough to pounce on them

 

[Zeshan547]

NZ will do well to even get 250 runs from here.

NZ really haven't look like they deseve to be here, playing like timid kittens , what a poor semi so far. Win or lose but PAk would have been more entertaining for sure.

 

[rhony]

He got perfect bowling condition and he's unable pick a wicket, yeah good bowling indeed...

It's controllable and u know what u get with BK. His average is 1 wicket a game. It's been for a while. He can hold the bat and can bowl at death. That's what India wants in this game.

 

[Pakhs]

If they are 110/2 after 30, I expect them to score 270+

Why? wicket is only getting harder. We have seen most teams pulling back good starts in the first innings and NZ dont even have a good start.

Good shout but too early to call. lets see how they go

 

[Afhan Ali]

Our Azhar bhai can score in these conditions and pressure situation

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Why? wicket is only getting harder. We have seen most teams pulling back good starts in the first innings and NZ dont even have a good start.

They have good batsmen coming after this. Neesham has shwon great form and Latham is due a good innings

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Wicket coming!!!

ghee shakkar....bro...

 

[jagatk]

That looked plumb

 

[KingKhanWC]

Good decision looked out

 

[Afhan Ali]

Ganguly with very very very very poor commentary

 

[Adijazz1706]

NZ should pack up and go hone, as Waugh is saying they have no self belief. Just save us the hassle and spare the formalities of India having to chase their score down in 40 overs or so

 

[rhony]

8 overs 25 for 1 for Jaddu. He played his part. NZ is waiting for Pandya. He is the one that decides if NZ can go beyond 250

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

awesome attempt by vk...sooner rather than later we gonna score one with a direct hit....go indiaaaaaa

 

[Pakhs]

They have good batsmen coming after this. Neesham has shwon great form and Latham is due a good innings

Somebody will have to play an innings of his life for NZ to get to 270

 

[Afhan Ali]

We were better team this mediocre team of NZ

 

[Havok]

Good shout but too early to call. lets see how they go

They’re already defeated

 

[Pakhs]

awesome attempt by vk...sooner rather than later we gonna score one with a direct hit....go indiaaaaaa

I think he was slightly late to react otherwise it was a suicidal run.

 

[AAli98]

Nz were going to collapse either at the start or at the end of the innings, looks like theyv chosen the latter.

 

[volcyz]

Toss Taylor biggest embarrassment in world cups barring that one innings vs Pakistan he has only been pathetically pedestrian and killing any momentum a team has.
Worse than Misbah by miles

 

[jagatk]

Twice now the umpire's call's gone batsmen's way, hope this continues when India bat too.

 

[Sidilicious]

I think he played his last for India in that Eng game where he couldn't hit beyond the square

And Karthik isn't going to do much either. At least Jhadhav can bowl.

 

[Zeshan547]

i know its not a 350 pitch but NZ playing like its a minefield, are they are that dumb that they think they can win with 220 score vs this Indian batting on this pitch. You are losing either way so why not give yourself at least a chance.

 

[shah_1]

Timid approach

 

[Pakhs]

Twice now the umpire's call's gone batsmen's way, hope this continues when India bat too.

You are lucky it was umpires call.. that stupid review on the very first ball was dumb

 

[KingKhanWC]

It was Gibbs dodgy that

 

[rhony]

Pandya's slower ones are sticking in the pitch. Won't be easy to hit him.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Only 5 overs of Pandya to go...

 

[rhony]

And Karthik isn't going to do much either. At least Jhadhav can bowl.

He can but they didn't need him to bowl in this WC.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

250 needed

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Chahal has bowled well

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

It was Gibbs dodgy that

That didnt look right, did it..

 

[rhony]

You are lucky it was umpires call.. that stupid review on the very first ball was dumb

One of Dhoni's utility was to judge these reviews. India has been the worst team with reviews in this WC

 

[hb787]

This is painful to watch.

 

[Red Devil]

This is worse than Misbah-era Pakistan. Horrible batting.

 

[Indiafan]

He got perfect bowling condition and he's unable pick a wicket, yeah good bowling indeed...

On the other hand Shami can give 50 runs in 3 overs at death, losing the match. India had to choose between the two

 

[KingKhanWC]

Someone drug test the Indian commies , need to slow down lol

 

[Zeshan547]

Its as if they arelosing on purpose, unbelievable

 

[desi_launda]

Runs flowing

 

[Kriketer]

India won't just beat NZ, they will thrash them. NZ made it to semis by solely luck, they don't deserve to be in it and they will prove us how bad of a team they have been this world cup!

 

[jagatk]

Something's going to give here in next few overs.

 

[Indiafan]

And Karthik isn't going to do much either. At least Jhadhav can bowl.

News is that Kohli was upset with Jhadav and Dhoni not attempting the chase against England. one thing he is, is sporty. Jhadav is unlikely to play another game for India and Dhoni has been quietly asked to retire after the world cup

 

[KingKhanWC]

That didnt look right, did it..

Neither did the run out lol

 

[rhony]

Good over for NZ this. Next 5 to 6 overs are key. Good defensive bowling from Pandya and he can get a wicket here

 

[rhony]

News is that Kohli was upset with Jhadav and Dhoni not attempting the chase against England. one thing he is, is sporty. Jhadav is unlikely to play another game for India and Dhoni has been quietly asked to retire after the world cup

Makes sense. That was embarrassing. Especially Jadav

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Seems like NZ would not get a big score then.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Makes sense. That was embarrassing. Especially Jadav

We all know dhoni will retire after world cup

 

[Zeshan547]

Something's going to give here in next few overs.

never thought winning a WC semi could have been this easy, Congrats INDIA

 

[KingKhanWC]

Kohli only plays to win . You’re embarrassing your nation if you choose not to .

Around 5pm today you will see a bigger drama than any Bollywood film

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Some great insights by Waugh

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The main batsmen are out there for them so this partnership is the key.
