New Zealand (240/5) defeat Bangladesh (236/9) by 5 wickets to advance to semi-finals of ICC Champions Trophy 2025

[jnaveen1980]

341 dot balls in 2 games from Bangladesh. that is pathetic

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Is it the 350 pitch that England played on?

No it was much better, but surprisingly teams struggling here

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 108/3 (24.1 overs).

Cruising.

 

[sweep_shot]

129 are needed from 153 balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

At this stage BD was same score , but they lost quick wickets after that.

 

[Hellion]

At this stage BD was same score , but they lost quick wickets after that.

They had lost 1 more wicket though.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rahim is very old. He missed a simple collection

 

[jnaveen1980]

They should have picked LItton Das and dropped Rahim

 

[ChennaiFan]

Miraz can bowl better. He is not bowling to the field and bowls too full or too short. It is only matter of time for New Zealand to win here.

 

[sweep_shot]

Why no fine leg? Quite a few boundaries in that region.

 

[Justcrazy]

NZ , India , Australia , SA are teams to watch out , rest are just filling numbers

England is pretty good (scored 350+).
England-South Africa should be a classic knockout.

 

[Devadwal]

NZ is in total control. Need some Black magic from Bangladesh and Pakistan fans

 

[jnaveen1980]

Such a classy knock

 

[Sachin fan]

This Rachin guy seems to be a good player.

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ , India , Australia , SA are teams to watch out , rest are just filling numbers

Gap has widened massively. When CT was started the gap was not this bad. England despite having good team are leaving themselves behind.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Hate to say it, but Rachin Ravendra will be better than Babar.

 

[Devadwal]

NZ , India , Australia , SA are teams to watch out , rest are just filling numbers

Group B is very intresting . SA, Australia and England all three of them have equal chance.

 

[sweep_shot]

Very poor captaincy.

Why not give Mahmudullah a few overs? He is a good part-timer. Instead of him, captain bowled himself and gave away 12 runs.

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan first team to be eliminated from CT . What a embarrassment

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hate to say it, but Rachin Ravendra will be better than Babar.

He is already better in terms of range. He can play all around the dial eith equal ease. Also a player with a lot of intent. Hence the career ODI strike rate of 110.

 

[gani999]

NZ , India , Australia , SA are teams to watch out , rest are just filling numbers

I thought England will beat SA to it. Looks difficult for them now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan first team to be eliminated from CT . What a embarrassment

Not being technical here. But both BD and Pakistan will get eliminated exactly at the same time.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

In the end easy win for kiwis as predicted

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ will chase even 300 here. Probably another 350 wicket

 

[Dr_Bassim]

He is already better in terms of range. He can play all around the dial eith equal ease. Also a player with a lot of intent. Hence the career ODI strike rate of 110.

Believe it or not, there will be some people celebrating Babar's century on 27th vs Bangladesh and "return of the king" even though Pakistan will be eliminated by then.

Oh and a Shaheen 4 fer and 5 fer too on that day.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yea Rachin is not comfortable against short ball. Not sure why they never attempted

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Very poor captaincy.

Stupid captaincy

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

No he didn't and Rachin himself has admitted this fact in multiple interviews.

Rachin Ravindra’s father clarifies his son was not named after Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar

Rachin Ravindra’s father has quashed stories that his son was named after Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar, saying it was a pure coincidence.To bet on the World Cup with our Match Centre Partners bet365 head here.

Actually he did say it. Whether or not he is lying is a separate thing.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Rachin Bhai putting dagger in BD fans hearts.

Mission Demolition

At this point in terms so many youngsters have left him behind. ODI was his pet format as it allowed him to statpad safely. Now he can't even do that.

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ are cruising toward semi-final.

 

[Hellion]

So good to see Hindu brother Rachin playing MOTM knock to send Bangladesh out of CT

 

[jnaveen1980]

Elegantly crafted innings by Rachin. Great to watch.

 

[Asif321]

Not being technical here. But both BD and Pakistan will get eliminated exactly at the same time.

Pakistan lost first so by those means they are knocked out first

 

[sweep_shot]

Stupid captaincy

Indeed.

BD haven't had a great captain since Mashrafe Mortaza. He was a good captain. Under his leadership, BD went to quarterfinal of 2015 WC and semi-final of 2017 CT. BD also won many ODI series under him.

I think BD should get a new captain after CT.

 

[Asif321]

Indians most happy right now both enemy mulks knocked out

 

[RahulBose]

Indians most happy right now both enemy mulks knocked out

Most actually don't care.
These teams were never serious contenders.

It's like caring about nepal and zimbabwe in a world cup.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bangladesh team batsmen can learn from other team batsman. Rachin made debut only a couple of years back. He is already better than every batsman from Bangladesh history. How is that possible? Why is learning curve so steep for Bangladesh batsmen.

Internal politics and poor domestic structure

Indians will probably dance like this:

92 runs partnership so far , brilliant one.

Neither are cricketing threats.

PAK has respect as our #1 Enemy

I don't think anyone considers BD as anything worthy of significant attention

At least it means we don't have to see dance

Enemy is nz

We need to finish them ofd

If India don’t beat nz then kohli Rohit and Kl Rahul should leave the team

 

[Mainul]

This champion trophy matches are very boring and one side affairs . Bangladesh is pathetic team who don't deserve to play in this champion trophy .

So does Afghanistan and Pakistan. These 3 teams are pathetic.

 

[Asif321]

It’s not about cricket . On social media Indian owned accounts and pages will own them big time with these defeats . their are already tweets degrading Pakistan and BD in every aspect so this rubs in too.

 

[Mainul]

NZ , India , Australia , SA are teams to watch out , rest are just filling numbers

I really expected good show from rest of the teams. But they are so pathetic...

 

[Asif321]

So does Afghanistan and Pakistan. These 3 teams are pathetic.

Afghanistan aren’t pathetic they have always played with passion and it’s their debut in CT . Already had great CWC and WT20 . Bangladesh are playing since wasim Akram days and yet can’t compete well

 

[OldWarHorse]

Pakistan has really good cricket fans. Enjoy proper batting even if it results in their team going out

 

[Justcrazy]

The way Kiwis are shaping up , they will be strong contenders in next WC as well.

Indians most happy right now both enemy mulks knocked out

Only temporary. If India don’t win this 3rd rate garbage tournament (no offense to Pak for hosting it and I would say they same even if India is hosting it), they will get a worse and toxic response than what is happening in Pakistan. Bangladesh doesn’t matter, their own fans seem to take pride in other teams as have 0 hopes for themselves. At least the fans I come across so hopefully not a sterotype.

Sanatani Sher Rachin Ravindra knocking out pakistan Bangladesh single handedly.

We are cheering for Rachin bhai. Let’s go brother. It’s always great to see a Sanatani performing well in front non believers.

Will be interesting to see both brotherly nations going at each others throats to stave off the ignominy of not winning a single game in this CT 2025.

Toxic response from whom? Indians are the most player over country worshippers in the world.

Most fans will be happy Kohli scored a 100 or Rohit hit a few sixes, even if india lost the tournament.

 

[sweep_shot]

Indian fans right now:

 

[RidiculousMan]

Whoever wins New Zealand v India game will win CT25. That's my prediction

 

[Sachin fan]

Indian fans right now:

Isn't it time you guys took responsibility for your own teams performance? India didn't make Bangladesh or pakistan play so bad.

 

[Local.Dada]

Whoever wins New Zealand v India game will win CT25. That's my prediction

Never count out Australia bro

 

[sweep_shot]

I think NZ or Aussies should win it eventually.

It’s okay Rizwan won’t mind losing to brothers

 

[RahulBose]

Indian fans right now:

Itna bura lag raha hai kal se? Coping hard

 

[Sachin fan]

The absolute delusion people have here is hilarious.

India would have been way more happy to see arch nemisis New Zealand knocked out than pakistan or Bangladesh who would be easier opponents in knocks outs.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Never count out Australia bro

Their bowling is whack

 

[Local.Dada]

Their bowling is whack

Yes but their mental strength is better than chokers India, SA, Nzl and even England. Thats 75% of the battle.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Indian fans right now:

 

[jnaveen1980]

Totally 6 matches of which 2 of them will be dead rubber match in this group

 

[sweep_shot]

46 are needed from 78 balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

Can BD pick another wicket here ?

 

[Local.Dada]

The absolute delusion people have here is hilarious.

India would have been way more happy to see arch nemisis New Zealand knocked out than pakistan or Bangladesh who would be easier opponents in knocks outs.

That’s a foolish thing to say. In that case every tournament we should hope for minnows to make it to semis and finals.

Pak and Bangla teams have a bit of nuisance value due to the political issues etc,

I have enough confidence in Indian team to beat any team. If the other team turns up and beats India, good for them

 

[FearlessRoar]

Both brothers are now out of the tournament, now they'll play a friendly match among themselves.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Poor Athar Ali khan always gets excited briefly every match.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Mahmudullah drops an easy catch.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Both brothers are now out of the tournament, now they'll play a friendly match among themselves.

Two evenly matched teams like England v Australia game

 

[RahulBose]

Evenly matched... Can be the match of the tournament.

 

[Asif321]

Pakistanis be like : yeh toh shru hote hi khatam hogaya

 

[Local.Dada]

Watching an uncle like Mahamdullah on cricket field is repulsive. They dropped Litton Das for this buddha lol.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Bangladesh have let the Asian Bloc down. BCCI and PCB lobbied for their test status to see this day?
