New Zealand [212/4] beat India [208/6] by 4 runs in the third T20I to seal 2-1 series win

[Maliq_Mudasir]

This part timer reminds me of Pakistan bowler ' Imran Khan junior'.

 

[Oligochaetes]

India require another 72 runs with 6 wickets and 36 balls remaining

I will stick my neck out and say, India are favorites, Nidahas Karthik will win em ze game!

India require another 68 runs with 4 wickets and 28 balls remaining

Sudden turnaround!

 

[jnaveen1980]

India's idea of giving practice to one day players in T20 didn't work out for anyone except may be shankar. Pointless T20 series.

Imran khan jr kinda looked like hulk. Even his physique

 

[Stalin]

Come on Karthik.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now get ready for world cup. India needs lot of work

Didn't know Rohit and Dhawan were only odi players.

 

[TheSensible]

If there's one person to blame for this game, it's Sharma. 32(30) was it? awful

 

[Oligochaetes]

But I think its too late... Horse has bolted the stable

 

[Stalin]

Fielding is so underrated. That has been the difference today.

 

[Stalin]

Now get ready for world cup. India needs lot of work

What work? This is T20. We're good in odis.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Imran khan jr kinda looked like hulk. Even his physique

I am not sure which one you are talking about. We have lot of juniors and junior 2.

 

[Oligochaetes]

10 sixes needed off 24 balls

 

[Stalin]

:
DK reducing the losing margin.

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Karthik to do a Nidahas again here

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Hero Nidahas showing some class here.

 

[a_tahir]

Karthik needs to realise there are mics. Shouldn't use that type of language especially when it is so audible

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Why is this Tickner laughing after every ball. Has he any relation with Yasir Shah ?

 

[Stalin]

Karthik needs to farm strike here . This krunal is a glorified tail ender.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Come on DHoni lol now kill the game by playing out maiden Will be great.

lol

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Southee should retire. Terrible LOI bowler.

 

[Stalin]

:
Good . Fight till it's not over.

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Krunal bashing Southee.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

India will seal the series. Terrible Bowling by Southee.

 

[Stalin]

Oh dear.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

My goodness Southee is terrible. Can't believe I have to type it again. Atrocious stuff.

 

[Stalin]

Karthik needs to farm strike here . This krunal is a glorified tail ender.

I take it back.

 

[Aman]

Terrible over from Southee.

India back in this.

 

[Aman]

Who bowls the last over after this?

 

[Stalin]

Who bowls the last over after this?

Southee should and will get the job done.

 

[Oligochaetes]

30 off 12 is still v v difficult

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Terrible over from Southee.

India back in this.

Southee is playing for 10 years, as long as Kohli. How does one bowl so poorly after a decade of international cricket? New Zealand can't be this short of talent.

 

[Aman]

C'mon get it together, 23 off 9.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Karthik will do it easily from here !!!

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Kuggeleign is probably gonna bowl the rest of the over as slower balls.

 

[Stalin]

Karthik will do it easily from here !!!

Nice jinx .

 

[Aman]

16 off the last over.

 

[Stalin]

:
Monstrous
16 off 6

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

I love Ian Smith's commentary at times like this.

 

[Aman]

Too many length and short balls at the death.

 

[Shafi]

India still in the game!!!!!

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Nice jinx .

16 from 6 should never be difficult with 60m boundaries.

 

[Aman]

He moved across.

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

14 off 3. India lost it.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

14 off 3. India lost it.

More like Karthik. Waste 3 balls.

 

[Stalin]

Brainless from DK..

 

[Aman]

Fantastic over at the death from Southee.

 

[Aman]

Brainless from DK..

Weren't going to win anyway, Southee got it right at the death.

 

[badsha001]

so DK doesn't give the strike over to the batsmen who has a higher strike rate whaaat???

 

[Oligochaetes]

Nidahas failed...

 

[Tracer Bullet]

Well Played New Zealand.... Good Series...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Joke ground. All the hacks scored sixes. Go home happily. NZ grounds should be banned.

 

[Ahmed216]

Congratulations NZ

 

[jagatk]

Sharma and Shankar lost the game.

 

[Aman]

so DK doesn't give the strike over to the batsmen who has a higher strike rate whaaat???

Can't blame him, India weren't chasing it even if he took the run.

 

[jnaveen1980]

KW will sleep haippily now that he has won the incredible ultimte tonty tonty series. lol

 

[Stalin]

Well done New Zealand.

 

[Aman]

Good win.

Strong performances from the new players and great over at the death by Southee.

 

[Tracer Bullet]

Taylor got boundary on the last ball of Kiwi inning...

 

[Green Patriot]

The six came a little too late lol.

 

[jnaveen1980]

5 dropped catches. Tons of misfields.. Can't do this in the world cup. Good wake up call. But i am sure they won't be alert to this.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sharma and Shankar lost the game.

More like fielders cost the game. One of the worst fielding display by India in a while.

 

[Green Patriot]

Well done Kiwis and good on Southee for defending 16 which considering the ground and pitch should have been doable.

 

[jagatk]

Can't blame him, India weren't chasing it even if he took the run.

Its wasn't about the run, what if krunal hits a 4 of the 3rd ball the equation then would have been 9 of 2 rather than an impossible 13 of 2, still tough mind you but if you are going to not take a single there the next ball better be a 6 or a 4.

 

[imshally81]

Congrats NZ... Great victory..

 

[jagatk]

More like fielders cost the game. One of the worst fielding display by India in a while.

Definitely and Shankar and Sharma were guilty there as well both dropped catches and Shankar even gave away a few midfield runs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

ONly Kuldeep can walk with his head high in this.

 

[Tracer Bullet]

India's atrocious fielding cost them a game
New Zealand deserving winners here

 

[cr7great]

It was a good match of cricket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Real low quality cricket despite both team soring 200.

 

[Stalin]

Pathetic fielding from India has cost them their first t20 series win in New Zealand. But it's just T20 , so no worries .

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Sharma and Shankar lost the game.

43 off 28 lost the game?

Run rate was less than 12 when he left. Match was set for the middle order.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Indian Batters looked similar to Pakistani batters. Inspired by Afridi !

 

[Green Patriot]

So India's t20 streak is also broken now.

 

[BaankeJi]

Worst day in history of Indian cricket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shankar's batting is the only plus point somewhat. Khaleel needs 2 years in domestic. Krunal should stick to IPL. Anyone who scored runs here should not really get overwhelming credit; HOpe Krunal tries to use his knock to become permanent here. Trash bowling from both team bar Kuldeep. NZ fielding was top notch. That was the biggest difference.

 

[Aman]

Izzy beat a GOAT and NZ win a T20 series against India.

Good day for NZ.

 

[Aman]

Fielding?

Let's ignore the non stumping when Sefert was taking the Indian bowlers to the cleaners.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India should send under 19 team to these T20 series after world cup.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Williamson is happy winning the world T20
