New Zealand (283/1) hammer England (282/9) by 9 wickets to win Match 1 of the ICC World Cup 2023

[WengerOut]

Someone here mentioned Spain v Ned WC final in 2010 and then Ned obliterating defending champions Spain in 2014 WC. Exactly what is happening now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hmm, why hasn't his son taken his surname then.

He is probably Tamil who don't have surnames. They just have one name. My guess.

 

[SamNJ]

Rachi Ravindra's father hails from Bengaluru. Ravi Krishnamurthy. He must be proud to see his son playing fantastically in his birth place.

Great story. BCCI should try to poach him haha

 

[castortroy]

Teams batting 2nd will win the majority of the games.

Another tournament dictated by the toss

 

[jnaveen1980]

SMithy is spot on. It is ther batsmen that have to look at themselves.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra now have New Zealand's highest partnership in men's ODI World Cup history.

 

[Nado_]

What happened to Saqib Mahmood, the guy was quick a genuine pace bowler . Woakes will get smashed up here and if Wood continues to be wayward or thinks he can just bounce batsman out every ball then England could be in a little trouble

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Rachin Ravindra did nt have any significant innings before Pakistan warm up match. Guess Pakistan is known to establish new players into world class

 

[Ali Active]

Think This WC , Major factor will be toss ball is coming on under lights ever team will prefer chasing.

 

[Devadwal]

Who is playing England next? I might feel sorry for them. THey may come out all guns blazing.

Bangladesh at dharmshala .this ground suits England

 

[jnaveen1980]

Morgan is already talking about Toss. It is not a one size fits all situation here. Sure on some grounds it is advantageous. But you have to factor in and put above par especially if you have good batting depth.

 

[7sins]

He's playing for nz for more than a year never played a good 50 run inning before. Looks like indian pitches really suited his style of batting

 

[jnaveen1980]

Morgan is talking garbage. "NZ has showncourage to take risk" seriously? They didn't take any risks in this partnership. They are just playing normal cricketing shots.

 

[Mockingbird]

Teams batting 2nd will win the majority of the games.

Another tournament dictated by the toss

Toss is secondary. This was always gonna be a high scoring match, but England threw it away.

I am kinda very happy to see England get a proper phainta. Too much hype of their bazball strategy in the run-up to the WC.

 

[7sins]

It was a factor in Dubai t20 world cup and also Australia world cup too

 

[jattafridi]

Really good batting New Zealand

Omg Toss is very important

 

[Devadwal]

I'm loving this phainti to England team .

 

[jnaveen1980]

It was a factor in Dubai t20 world cup and also Australia world cup too

Trust me it is not going to be the same everywhere. In some places ball will turn. Remember how Ashwin was all over Australia in the recent series

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Congratulations Rachin, second centurion of wc2023

 

[Devadwal]

Really good batting New Zealand

Omg Toss is very important

Ok give us batting first when India play against Pakistan at Same venue on 14 oct .this is what you Right??

 

[FearlessRoar]

Rachin Ravindra 100* NZ are 214/1

 

[WengerOut]

Dew sets in around 9 PM local time only. Cant blame it either Mr Morgan

 

[TheSultan]

First Curran was better than Shaheen and now Ravindra is better than Babar, Pakistani fans so fickle. All based on 2 overs or batting against poor bowling on phatta wicket.

100 off 82 is not a couple of overs. He’s playing the defending champions in his first WC match and made a ton at a great clip.

 

[mominsaigol]

Welp now ravindra comes with a knock

 

[Ali Active]

Ok give us batting first when India play against Pakistan at Same venue on 14 oct .this is what you Right??

Yes Pakistan’s only chance against india is to win the toss and hope india reaches lowish score of 270 to 300 above 300 pakistan will lose
on the other hand india will even chase 350 against us on these pitches

 

[Asif321]

England have been mauled

 

[Asad T]

100 for Ravindra! What a classy innings for the 23 year old

 

[IAJ]

Well done Ravindra

 

[owenhcricket]

People applauding NZ just need to hold on a sec...said lots of people said this is a bat second kind of tournament...so win toss, almost always win match.

Let's see how other teas do chasing, lets see if the trend is true and lets see what NZ can do when trying to defend a target.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Who would have think Ravindra Great progression. 2016 under-19 batch. Same batch as Rishab Pant, Isan Kishan, Washington Sundar.

 

[Asad T]

Still no crowd, I thought the stadium would fill up after people finish work

 

[Devadwal]

Yes Pakistan’s only chance against india is to win the toss and hope india reaches lowish score of 270 to 300 above 300 pakistan will lose
on the other hand india will even chase 350 against us on these pitches

Not just against Pakistan .India want to bat first against most team in this world cup.

 

[Nado_]

Is it me or does anyone else prefer the camera production in Asia. I prefer the camera angles better , the ball feels more quicker when you see it released.

In Australia I don’t like the angle they use , feels to high up

 

[IAJ]

The ball is spinning

 

[Ali Active]

Not just against Pakistan .India want to bat first against most team in this world cup.

On this venue, highly doubt india will bat first if they win the toss.

 

[Ali Active]

Is it me or does anyone else prefer the camera production in Asia. I prefer the camera angles better , the ball feels more quicker when you see it released.

In Australia I don’t like the angle they use , feels to high up

Best Camera angles are in England nothing beats their brodcast.

This is Ahmedabad. Let us not conclude Eden Gardens, Delhi, Chennai will have the same way. Or even Dharamsala for that matter. Also India has defended totals like 230 here last year. Prasidh Krishna produced steep bounce took 4 for 12 on this pitch against West Indies.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Ponting 2007, Shehwag 2011, Finch 2015...Worldcup was taken by the first centurion...Will Conway take 2023 world Cup ???

 

[Nikhil_cric]

6.3 million watching on Hotstar in India and probably millions more on Cable for a neutral match..

A WTC final between these 2 sides won't get that viewership probably even in England.

ODI cricket is far from finished

 

[IAJ]

They are so good at pulling

 

[Devadwal]

The ball is spinning

Once Bowl gets old it's very hard to score freely .

 

[SamNJ]

Is it me or does anyone else prefer the camera production in Asia. I prefer the camera angles better , the ball feels more quicker when you see it released.

In Australia I don’t like the angle they use , feels to high up

Yes Australia angles make it feel like the batsman is up the slope.

 

[jnaveen1980]

The ball is spinning

They are well behind now. They tried to bully batsmen with pace lost their plot. They should have opened with Moeen Ali.

 

[TheSultan]

Halwa bowling by Curran

 

[Nado_]

Best Camera angles are in England nothing beats their brodcast.

Their broadcast is top notch no doubt but the main camera angle I’m not a massive fan of

 

[jnaveen1980]

Santner on Indian pitches will be deadly with his pace variation. Watch out.

 

[jnaveen1980]

MOeen hardly did anything for CSK this season. He was a waste of space.

 

[mominsaigol]

Is it me or does anyone else prefer the camera production in Asia. I prefer the camera angles better , the ball feels more quicker when you see it released.

In Australia I don’t like the angle they use , feels to high up

Australia camera Angeles are annoying I agree. We call ourselves the land down under but film over

 

[jnaveen1980]

These are not small side boundaries. About 78 meters.

 

[Devadwal]

Six from Rachin against bit and pieces player like Moeen Ali

 

[jnaveen1980]

Six from Rachin against bit and pieces player like Moeen Ali

England relies on these oldies in this format. Youngster is brutalizing them

 

[Mankaded]

6.3 million watching on Hotstar in India and probably millions more on Cable for a neutral match..

A WTC final between these 2 sides won't get that viewership probably even in England.

ODI cricket is far from finished

Re viewership, you are comparing a population of 1.4 billion to 55 million.

 

[Devadwal]

NZ need 38 runs from 16 over .

 

[WengerOut]

Ian Smith is trying very very hard to be neutral but you know he is faking. Bordering on cherophobia.

 

[IAJ]

They are well behind now. They tried to bully batsmen with pace lost their plot. They should have opened with Moeen Ali.

And he should have given more overs to Livingstone as well. Poor captaincy.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Re viewership, you are comparing a population of 1.4 billion to 55 million.

Doesn't matter. The narrative that ODIs are dying is a myth and not based on reality at all.

Maybe suits English fans and SKY. But it's a narrative that is not based on any actual facts.

 

[Nado_]

Are England under cooked due to missing warm up game?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nz is lucky to have a fearless youngster in the mix. He will be very handy chasing totals.

 

[Justcrazy]

So ,my prediction is right , Kiwis win !!!

 

[IAJ]

Young Pakistani batsmen should learn from Ravindra. Even if you make a big score you need to finish off the job and not opt for a stupi shot.

 

[Devadwal]

Somebody said New Zealand are dealing in boundaries to stay ahead in a number of boundaries. They don't want to get robbed like the 2019 World Cup

 

[IAJ]

Nz is lucky to have a fearless youngster in the mix. He will be very handy chasing totals.

They have many fearless batters.

 

[Devadwal]

Another six by Conway
And four more

 

[jnaveen1980]

Utterly disdainful knock by Conway.

 

[Justcrazy]

New Zealand need 32 runs in 95 balls.

Kiwis cruising here

 

[IAJ]

Wow! That sound!

 

[Justcrazy]

This is a very good win for NZ , they have beaten a tournament favorite here , they will be inching towards semi final ticket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

We can talk about toss and everything. But you rbowling has to be uber crap to concede 257 runs by 34th over that too when they bowled to a world cup debutant and a conventional batsman.

 

[Devadwal]

They are going to finish this game in next 2 over

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is almost England is fielding only 7 players

 

[Aman]

Rachin Ravindra did nt have any significant innings before Pakistan warm up match. Guess Pakistan is known to establish new players into world class

What a load of rubbish, he's never had the chance to bat in the top order. He's been used down the order.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

NZ locked for semis now

NZ
India
Australia
SA/ Pakistan/England

 

[Justcrazy]

Convoy has opportunity to get finish with 150 NO here

 

[Devadwal]

Four more NZ 265/1 in 35 over
They need 18 runs in 15 over

 

[RehanG]

net runrate is going to cost England this WC. Same as what happened to Pak last time v Windies.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Last time i saw a chase like this was when India chased down 321 in 36 overs at Hobart in 2012, where Kohli made 133 not out in 86 balls.

 

[Usman Chadda]

We can talk about toss and everything. But you rbowling has to be uber crap to concede 257 runs by 34th over that too when they bowled to a world cup debutant and a conventional batsman.

The pitches aren’t helping. They do not have Archer anymore, who had brains and freak skill besides raw pace.

Wood just sits up to be hammered like Rauf on these pitches.

Sam Curran has been humiliated in that over. Conway was just sitting back and flat batting everything he threw at him.

 

[7sins]

Man these pitches plus dew under lights.. another world cup will be decided by the toss

 

[Devadwal]

net runrate is going to cost England this WC. Same as what happened to Pak last time v Windies.

They are not going to win more than 5 game

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is like playing EA sports cricket in easy mode
