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

[jnaveen1980]

Great bowling by Curran. Street smart cricketer.

 

[IAJ]

Never seen this Will Young do anything speciall.

 

[Nado_]

Curran is bowling well, accuracy is key

 

[emranabbas]

Curren 2 maidens and shaheen shah afridi is the best bowler in the world

 

[jnaveen1980]

Instead of Will young they could as well have played a bowler

 

[batandballbattle]

damn didn't expect this from curran, what a spell

 

[Devadwal]

Curran 2 over 0 runs wow

 

[jnaveen1980]

Curren 2 maidens and shaheen shah afridi is the best bowler in the world

Curran immediately assessed the perfect length for the pitch and sticking to it without going for glory balls.

 

[FearlessRoar]

(4/50 ov, T:283) NZ 19/1

New Zealand need 264 runs from 46 overs.

 

[vprasanna83]

As expected , ball darting about under lights in Ahmedabad

 

[jnaveen1980]

As expected , ball darting about under lights in Ahmedabad

Defending in world cup matches is a safer option.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Curran is so underrated iile I predicted will be on of the players of the tournament

 

[FearlessRoar]

Ravindra playing smoothly.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Woakes just doesn't have it in him. Topley is a better option.

 

[Devadwal]

Another free bie and four more

 

[jnaveen1980]

Woakes outside England has never performed if i am right

 

[emranabbas]

Don't think Babar and friends will be able to handle Curran they will play blind and caught out

 

[mominsaigol]

Curan is gun at line and length, wow

 

[mominsaigol]

Don't think Babar and friends will be able to handle Curran they will play blind and caught out

It's so sad that we don't even say pakistan anymore.

We say babar and friends . Yei halat hai Hamerei team ki

 

[Inswing]

Anyone here from NZL??

 

[Devadwal]

All the pressure Curran had created released by Woakes

 

[emranabbas]

All the pressure Curran had created released by Woakes

I think they just playing Curran out

 

[Rana]

Conway and Ravendra absolute beautiful batting

 

[Devadwal]

Wood time and he Welcome with a boundary by Conway

 

[emranabbas]

It's so sad that we don't even say pakistan anymore.

We say babar and friends . Yei halat hai Hamerei team ki

That's how they behave like school kids
One decent player and rest all chamchay

 

[Rana]

This is where Butler is asleep

Two left handers, get your right arm offie in

 

[mominsaigol]

Conway and Ravendra absolute beautiful batting

Ravendra is a class hitter. Bad bowler though, but he's a genuine class batter.

 

[Mankaded]

This is a dibbly dobbliers pitch or average Indian pacers pitch, perfect for Curran but faster bowlers will get hit, even Henry and NZ bowlers were bowling mostly off cutters.

 

[vprasanna83]

Wood bowling at 152 kph

 

[emranabbas]

Judging from pitches so far batsmen make use of pace

 

[Rana]

Morgan claims Ravendra has not faced this kind of pace…

Dude they have Lockie Furgouson in their squad

 

[jnaveen1980]

Told you. Faster you bowl faster you will travel on some of these pitches. I know Krunal Pandya murdered Mark wood in one of the match. He had all the time in the world to hit that 149 k for six

 

[mominsaigol]

Captaincy wise, Butler seems to be like babar. He's sticking to a formula. He needs to vary it up with spin, pace isn't working.

Come on Butler, make your predecessor Morgan proud.

 

[Rajdeep]

Batting seems to be easier under lights...ball coming better

 

[vprasanna83]

Ravindra hits wood for 6

 

[Devadwal]

149,153 ,148, 152 149,149 Kph Speed in first over by Wood and gave 17 runs

 

[apnapind]

Wood going for plenty and we have our own harris rauf man pace is gonna go for plenty here

 

[Rana]

Both left handers playing spin too easy

Bring on your right arm off spinner!!!!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Wow some player

 

[jnaveen1980]

149,153 ,148, 152 149,149 Kph Speed in first over by Wood and gave 17 runs

Bullying batsmen with pace in India can only be done in scertain pitches like Wankhede

 

[volcyz]

Rachin revelation

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Kiwis looking strong!. Cakewalk v Pakistan, this will be a hammering!

 

[Rana]

Jos Butler asleep

Worse than Babar at the moment!

 

[Devadwal]

Four more

 

[GLORY OF '92]

England NRR in danger

 

[Markhor]

Anything short is getting flayed.

 

[emranabbas]

Outfield is fast too spinners and slow bowlers will benefit

 

[jnaveen1980]

He is still not trying Moeen. But can't blame him. Conway is a fantastic spin player.

 

[Devadwal]

England bowling attack is most overhyped just because they can score few runs.

 

[apnapind]

Kiwis looking strong!. Cakewalk v Pakistan, this will be a hammering!

Nah pak always own them in icc tournies

 

[volcyz]

Ravindra is something else

 

[jnaveen1980]

Whatever he leaked in his bowling he has made up.

 

[Devadwal]

NZ 63-1 in 7.4 over

 

[Firebat]

Kiwis BazBalling England

 

[topspin]

Ravindra is killing them!

 

[Markhor]

Rachin or Sachin ? Some superb strokeplay.

 

[jnaveen1980]

So good to watch Rachin Ravindra. This guy saved a t est with Ajaz patel by playing 10 overs against Ashwin, Jadeja, Axar on day 5 pitch with no.11 batsman.

 

[Rana]

These are world class cricket shots

 

[batandballbattle]

p'ship looking dangerous now, this is where the lack of a 4th seamer 'golden arm' hurts england

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Unbelievable batting wow.

 

[Rana]

Sangakara’s spirit in these two

 

[jnaveen1980]

Conway my man. Gorgeous shot. Waiting for his inside out lofted shots.

 

[Vikram1989]

Nah pak always own them in icc tournies

Match is in Bangalore. Much smaller and flatter than Hyderabad where warm up happened.So pak should be careful

 

[mominsaigol]

Nah pak always own them in icc tournies

Bro 2019 NZ batting was non existent, I will say the same thing I have been saying since yesterday when I voted NZ and everyone said I was crazy and England would smack,

2023 NZ is the strongest NZ side they've possibly ever been since I started watching cricket in 2011.

2019 had a non existent batting relying solely on Williamson, rn their batting is on cloud 9, Willamson is the weak link in the squad.

 

[sweep_shot]

Game is slipping away.

England should introduce spinners.

 

[Devadwal]

Mark wood is bowling with pace and NZ batsman dispatch those delivery to four with double speed .

 

[jnaveen1980]

You need a strong slow bowling attack here to survive. Genuine quicks will be massacred.

 

[Rana]

95mph

 

[jnaveen1980]

Last year Archer was belted black and blue in the IPL , then Ferguson.

 

[Devadwal]

Game is slipping away.

England should introduce spinners.

Their bowling is very weak

 

[jnaveen1980]

okay Game on. Short ball with long square boundary. Rachin is not backing away.

 

[apnapind]

You need a strong slow bowling attack here to survive. Genuine quicks will be massacred.

So likes starc rauf cummins will go for plenty then?

 

[PakPremi]

Move over England let NZ play Bazball.

 

[mominsaigol]

@ExpressPacer I'm not gonna say I told you so, but I told you so .

 

[Devadwal]

M Ali time now

 

[nish_mate]

Come on Moeen

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Oh my Lord! We're looking at the champions

 

[Devadwal]

Six by Ravindra .what a beautiful batting by him

 

[Mankaded]

These arent fast bowling pitches, something Rauf failed to comprehend in the warm up games too.

 

[nish_mate]

Ravindra channeling his inner Lara
