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.
Very overrated team .England missed Stokes.
Impressive from NZ.
No they don't. They don't miss anyone. They could have 2 extra bowlers Archer, Stokes still would have travelled defending 282.England missed Stokes.
Impressive from NZ.
And Bowl first right? Please do it we are very thankfulI hope Babar win the toss against India![]()

We are going to bat first now it's confirmed .if Pakistan won the toss they will decide to bowl first ,if we win the toss then anyway we are going to bat first.India will bat first with Kuldeep yadav, Bumrah, Siraj they will back themselves to defend.
There is no way INdia will attempt to chase.We are going to bat first now it's confirmed .if Pakistan won the toss they will decide to bowl first ,if we win the toss then anyway we are going to bat first.
Nah, England is in serious trouble here. Similar to what happened with Pakistan in 2019. A defeat like this takes some guts to get over with, not as easy as some of you are making it out to be.One of the great World Cup partnerships and innings.
Congratulations New Zealand - a real statement of intent.
However this format is a long, hard slog and 8 matches are plenty of time for ENG to recover. This is partly why I dislike this format as there's no real sense of jeopardy even if you lose a match.
Always love youngsters doing well. New gen taking over. Congrats Ravindra. England's Brook has to play this role for England. So far just one IPL 100. Otherwise nothing to show.
Totally .This game is good for us as Pakistan are going to bowl first by seeing this Chase.There is no way INdia will attempt to chase.

Their trump card in bowling was brutalized today.
To tuktuk their way to a heavy loss. Bat first. SimpleWe are going to bat first now it's confirmed .if Pakistan won the toss they will decide to bowl first ,if we win the toss then anyway we are going to bat first.
Your team is going to lift the trophy if India doesn't. NZ just need a Pacers as today bowling attack was not a great.Great win with a big NRR boost for a match we weren't expected to win.
Yes I'm too . Pakistan now have great chance to reach in semifinalI'd be surprised if they qualify now. Look shocked.
Most teams would prefer chasing specially because of dew.Guys looking at this game - win the toss and opt to chase in Ind vs Pak game here on 14th Oct?
No way .We are going to bat first no matter what and score 320 above.this match is pressure Game so chasing aren't going to be easy .Guys looking at this game - win the toss and opt to chase in Ind vs Pak game here on 14th Oct?
Whoever wins the toss will chase under lightsNo way .We are going to bat first no matter what and score 320 above.this match is pressure Game so chasing aren't going to be easy .
There is now dew neither today nore in next 2 weeks . In the later half there Will be dew but not untill 20 OctoberMost teams would prefer chasing specially because of dew.
Definitely not india. Don't know about Pakistan but India is going to bat first in most of the gameWhoever wins the toss will chase under lights
But England wouldn’t want to lose a match to NZ. This opens up the World Cup I recon.One of the great World Cup partnerships and innings.

Could be. Sky on these pitches will be a massacre.India may be temptingly thinking about just 5 bowlers plus SKY. If SKY has his night out then it is going to be massive
No way .We are going to bat first no matter what and score 320 above.this match is pressure Game so chasing aren't going to be easy .
On the flip side they can bull doze the next few sides that coming their way. Buttler may end up scoring a 200It seems NZ was waiting for this day since 2019. What a hammering they have handed to England. Not sure how England will recover now.

There was definitely dew today, thats why they changed the ball. Maybe if you were watching the match and not defending BCCI everywhere.There is now dew neither today nore in next 2 weeks . In the later half there Will be dew but not untill 20 October
Don't think as we have seen from Australia series . chasing anything above 330 is not going to be easy . pressure is very important factors .2017 CT game was prime example so were 2019 world cup semifinal. T20 game are so different to ODI game where one over can change the entire game .Take it from me bro, if Rohit wins the toss he will chase 100% after today's game. It felt like Dubai stadium and he will not forget T20 WC 2021.
Their bowling has been crap since long time. The team which bowls better will win the WC. Batting to sb kr lenge !On the flip side they can bull doze the next few sides that coming their way. Buttler may end up scoring a 200![]()
Really? Has anybody talk about dew during the game ?There was definitely dew today, thats why they changed the ball. Maybe if you were watching the match and not defending BCCI everywhere.
Yes, the commentators and everybody else watching the match.Really? Has anybody talk about dew during the game ?

Despite missing key players like Southee, Sodhi, Ferguson, and star batter Williamson, they successfully contained the so-called 'Bazball' to under 300 on a batting-friendly pitch. Furthermore, young Rachin dominated the game by hitting boundaries effortlessly. To claim they achieved nothing is unjust. They deserve full credit for flawless execution.England has been screwed due to pitch and conditions. NZ hasn't done anything exceptional.
their batting was really bad , and their ace bowler was all over the place . They only have themselves to blameEngland has been screwed due to pitch and conditions. NZ hasn't done anything exceptional.
Dew is an excuse lol They were after the bowling right from the start even before the dew would normal set in.Can anyone confirm that there was dew during NZ innings??
I don't see them doing well with this level of bowling. Adil Rashid may have a good tournament overall, but don't think there is any other player who can make an impact in their bowling line up. Also, not all the teams would allow them to score 350+, today's match being the testimony.Their whole philosophy is their batting is good enough to compensate for their average attack. They were never a great attack. One of the worst with respect to ER in the last few years. Just that they are confident about batting power to overhaul any target or set above par total. But in situations where they can't even set par total their bowling is going to be exposed.
Can anyone confirm that there was dew during NZ innings??
They can used towel even without dew .has anyone from commenters talk about it during the match ?There was some new when NZ was batting, I saw Moeen Ali dry the ball with a towel a couple of times

If there was dew today then batting 2nd is way to go .but I don't see any dew today but maybe I'm wrongDew is an excuse lol They were after the bowling right from the start even before the dew would normal set in.
Yes Dhoni and Jadhav just gifted that match to Eng, not knowing they are actually gifting them WC.Yes. In England not a single pitch offered help to spinners. So they were able to bully teams. Even then they barely sneaked through to the quarters. If India had beaten England in their dead rubber their journey would have been over right there. Things just fell in place for them. England's B team most recently lost 0-3 in T20 to Bangladesh. I am going to watch their performance against subcontinent sides.
Chasing is the better option here. But will Babar do it though? That too after that Asia cup game against IND. He might want to play it safe. Also it's a pressure game. So I think he'll take the wrong decision of batting first, on these pitches.Whoever wins the toss will chase under lights
