New Zealand [291/8] beat West Indies [286] by 5 runs in the 29th match of the 2019 World Cup

[Kianig89]

NZ favourites WI need a solid foundation

 

[Markhor]

Cottrell's fielding has been excellent in this tournament.

Won't be easy to chase given strength of NZ attack but if Gayle and Lewis gives them a strong start then they're in this.

 

[talha 10]

Hope so Universe Boss comes to the party today.A windies victory will make this WC very interesting.

 

[baggy blue]

Cortell adds amazing value to the game. Great to watch....Need more such players..

Cottrell's fielding has been excellent in this tournament.

Won't be easy to chase given strength of NZ attack but if Gayle and Lewis gives them a strong start then they're in this.

Lewis got injured during the early part of the NZ innings, hope so he is okay to bat.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

290 is very good score, nz will win this comfortably..

 

[Kianig89]

Gayle in Ind vs AFG getting excited

 

[Kianig89]

When Gayle gets out I will turn off the Telly ad thnn wll follow on cell

 

[Justcrazy]

Gayle is crucial , he needs to fire here .

 

[Justcrazy]

second wicket gone

 

[Justcrazy]

Gayle looking good so far , he needs to bat deep here

 

[castortroy]

New Zealand win here should virtually end Pakistan hopes

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Unless Gayle and Hetmeyer score centuries they ain't winning this. NZ will continue their unbeaten run.

 

[Hasan123]

Need a Gayle special.

 

[Hasan123]

West Indies can hit bouandires with ease. Need to rotate strike as well.

 

[Hasan123]

Holding is a excellent commentator but he has lost the plot when he has been on commentary for West Indies games. He is almost pleading with them about how to play. I understand it's your country but you still have a job to do. Just say it without begging.

 

[baggy blue]

Does gayle ever do a pep talk with his younger partner ..

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Brilliant pull shots from hetmyer

 

[baggy blue]

The way hetmyer get those runs are a treat to watch

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Amazing cover drive from hetmyer

 

[Hasan123]

It would be a travesty if Hetymer didn't live up to his potential. Can bat at a 100 plus strike rate by playing proper cricketing shots.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Holding is a excellent commentator but he has lost the plot when he has been on commentary for West Indies games. He is almost pleading with them about how to play. I understand it's your country but you still have a job to do. Just say it without begging.

I agree

 

[Hasan123]

We need a West Indies win so bad.

 

[saeed5646]

Westindies batting is so fun to watch full of entertainment and drama

 

[Justcrazy]

A solid partnership here is very crucial . Its a pretty big total

 

[Hasan123]

I agree

In that commentary thread I'm surprised it wasnt brought up. If it was other commentators they would be a PP enemy but Holding gets away with it.

I love Holding commentary but he has lot the plot when it comes to West Indies in this WC.

 

[Hasan123]

Excellent fielding by Guptill.

 

[Justcrazy]

56 runs partnership so far

 

[Hasan123]

Hetmyer needs to relax. He has every shot in the book.

 

[Hasan123]

Holder and Lewis still to come.

 

[Hasan123]

Interesting to see how much bowling CDG does.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

I really wish shimron scores century today.He is really talented.

 

[Mueez]

I hope WI win today!

 

[MRSN]

Hetmyer what a talent this guy is. After Baber Azam he is the one emerging talent I follow closely. Great prospect.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Brilliant from shimron.Wonderfull pull shots.

 

[Suleiman]

Ahh man it's so fun to see WI bat.

 

[MMHS]

This kid is special, pulling Henry in front of squire. My Captain today, but he has to win it for WIN, to win MoM.

 

[WengerOut]

WI won't cross 250. Mark my words

 

[MRSN]

I really wish shimron scores century today.He is really talented.

In Pakistan talent like these would have been discarded by labelling "hack". Good from WI to persist with him.

 

[Suleiman]

NZ do too much chokey nonsense.

 

[Mueez]

Gayle dropped.

 

[JaDed]

What kind of fielding was that straight catch

 

[MRSN]

Lol NZ don't want Gayle out. 3rd drop

 

[JaDed]

Gayle that lucky lucky man

 

[Mkumar825]

Lol best Fielding side

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Come on

 

[Ab Fan]

Best thing out of this match is Munro shouldn't be getting picked for rest of the tournament.

I said it earlier Munro simply does not have a temperament to survive long and not a fit for ODIs or tests. He is great in T20s though.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Hahahahaha Man Munro and Henry Boult earlier

Kiwis even dropped catches in the previous match, i thought they were the best fielding side

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Hahahahaha Man Munro and Henry Boult earlier

Kiwis even dropped catches in the previous match, i thought they were the best fielding side

Cmmon Wi.. indian fans fully support youuuuu

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

take that Santer

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

more take more santer

 

[Nikhil_cric]

C'mon NZ. Find some wickets. Kane should bring himself on against these left handers.

 

[Mkumar825]

What's going on ...every over they give at least one chance

 

[Hasan2K8]

CH Gayle my all time fav windies player. Was a big fan of him early 2000s, and have fond memories of this particular 7 match series between WI v Aus.

Now Gayle. Do us all a favour, chase this down brother!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

NZ fielding today man has been worse than us oh wait kiwis don't have a

I take it back

 

[talha 10]

Hetmyer needs to play a sensible hand, no need for glory shots when Gayle is around

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Cmmon Wi.. indian fans fully support youuuuu

But Brother Nikhil is supporting Kiwis, I guess he supported angrez in 1947

 

[Mkumar825]

Wicket is around the corner

 

[Pete Rose]

Matt Henry is the kind of bowler (sorta like Woakes) who will boss countries like Pakistan

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

de Grandhomme is on. Either boom boom or a wicket.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

But Brother Nikhil is supporting Kiwis, I guess he supported angrez in 1947

Brother Nikhil supports any scenario that strengthens India's position brother. NZ winning reduces the threat of bottom teams in the table. That is why im supporting NZ

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

The Indain Office? Are you guys seeing it? Looks lame

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Matt Henry is the kind of bowler (sorta like Woakes) who will boss countries like Pakistan

Don't think it's just the opposition . Just like woakes, he generates, on average, a high degree of seam movement compared to other bowlers in the first powerplay.

 

[talha 10]

Hetmayer

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Brother Nikhil supports any scenario that strengthens India's position brother. NZ winning reduces the threat of bottom teams in the table. That is why im supporting NZ

My Brother Nikhil

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Siddenley nz favourites after them 2 wkts

 

[WengerOut]

So what happened to Evin Lewis?

 

[Hasan123]

Lewis still left.

 

[Asif321]

Must win for WI they can’t afford to let it slip

 

[ManFan]

Babar would be crucified if he played the innings KW played today.

 

[saeed5646]

Most dangerous side ship is sinking

 

[Asif321]

Pathetic WI will be knocked out
Nz going to qualify today which leaves Pakistan to Hope on Australia and England messing it up

 

[Hasan123]

Gayle is the last hope.

 

[saeed5646]

Match done and dusted

 

[Hasan123]

Game over.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Windies throwed it away man. Watajoke

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

So West Indies are out and no chance then tomorrow South Africa will be knocked out

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Was really no need for that. Windies for well ahead of the RRR . But they tryna do a tp pakistan and get out

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Excellent . Lewis is not a 100 % either. Hope NZ finish this off now.

 

[latecut]

Those who hoped that India and New Zealand will lose to lower ranked teams, like how England lost yesterday, find their hoped dashed. Normalcy is getting restored fast.
