New Zealand (362/6) defeat South Africa (312/9) comfortably by 50 runs to advance to final of ICC Champions Trophy 2025

[jnaveen1980]

This perfectly works for NZ. If you don't upset them they will stick to their bowling rotation plan without any problem.

 

[Devadwal]

Bavuma Storm is waiting to explode

 

[jnaveen1980]

When i see Bavuma opening and Jaiswal not even in the squad i say it is cruel.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I'm talking about india. Australia was never the beast in this tournament. They weren't at full strength while India was excluding bumrah.

Not making any excuses but aus expectations from you btw were that they wouldn't even make it to semi's and would end up at the bottom or maybe just > Afghanistan lol.

Kabhi soch samaj kei bhi bol lya karo

I was talking about Travis Head

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is a road pitch now. You have to make most of the runs in power play. Bavuma is totally wasting. Pollock is not even criticizing him. They are afraid or they are being too polite.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Bavuma is basically SA version of Azam Khan. Talentless hack quota selection

 

[Devadwal]

Watching the 2nd semifinals giving you more pleasure, knowing your team is already in the final.

 

[Vikram1989]

This is a road pitch now. You have to make most of the runs in power play. Bavuma is totally wasting. Pollock is not even criticizing him. They are afraid or they are being too polite.

Even bishop is not criticising bavuma.Pollock should ask bishop to have a crack at him

 

[jnaveen1980]

16 balls 2 runs.

 

[Kianig89]

So the first half made the game over for SA or Klaseen will do it

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This should be the last match Bavuma plays for SA unless he wins it for them . Same goes for Rassie. South Africa can't afford these useless players when the likes of Breetzke are breathing down their necks.

 

[kingusama92]

Wow Bavuma is better off getting out.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Even bishop is not criticising bavuma.Pollock should ask bishop to have a crack at him

They are being politically correct apparently.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Watching the 2nd semifinals giving you more pleasure, knowing your team is already in the final.

Watching it as fans of defending champs gives even more pleasure. We already did what you are fighting for

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Get Breetzke in the opening slot and make Markram captain

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bavuma thankfully has Rickleton at other end. Otherwise this would have been another 22/0 in 10 overs

 

[Nikhil_cric]

@Nikhil_cric will get his fantastic tea on March 9 when NZ smash this overrated average Indian side 3/3 in ICC finals. Till then let him jump.

You are a very chaotic poster, it must be said

 

[Devadwal]

Watching it as fans of defending champs gives even more pleasure. We already did what you are fighting for

Shut up and Enjoy the match peacefully

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rickleton (c) Bavuma (b) Bavuma

 

[Asif321]

Wth is bavuma doing

 

[NeVerMind]

Wrong man out...Rickleton!

 

[batandballbattle]

Babaruma!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This is what happens. Rickleton goes from the pressure created by Temba.

 

[kingusama92]

Rickelton gone.

The wrong opener goes.

 

[JattMaula]

Bavuma strikes.

 

[RehanG]

what is Bavuma doing

 

[Asif321]

How can your captain come out and be so timid in a big chase?

Even worst than that Babar Azam innings

 

[Local.Dada]

Bavuma better get out or else there is going to be some toxic racist hate online which is not good.

 

[Devadwal]

This was Bavuma wicket

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lack of strike rotation cost Rickleton's wicket. wow. snooze fest will go up a notch with RVD coming in

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rassie and Bavuma batting together now

Just concede the match to NZ already.

 

[big_gamer007]

South Africa needs to get rid of its racist policies and select best players in national team.
Apartheid was one of the worst times for the nation, however, now that you are out of it you can’t implement racism policies in selection of national team.
Work at ground level to improve the quality of life and education for all communities instead of being corrupt to core at ground level and just showing you are doing something for the nation by implementing quota system.

 

[batandballbattle]

Result of the pressure placed by captain fantastic. Bavuma has seriously got to wake up!

 

[Vikram1989]

They are being politically correct apparently.

I think ruling party in sa is always mandela's one.so they are quite chickened out to criticise i guess.

 

[Devadwal]

Wickets in the hand is key .run rate will be no issue

 

[jnaveen1980]

Don't they realize how much damage Santner will do in the middle phase if you are not keeping up with the rate? If he likes to play spin he should atleast come down the order

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Shut up and Enjoy the match peacefully

I told you that I have put trolls on watch. You and BD brothers BVB/sweeper. Enjoy the phainta NZ will give to SA. It is come again on Sunday.

 

[Kianig89]

Bavuma carrying the legacy of

 

[kingusama92]

South Africans are getting to experience what watching Imam open feels like.

 

[Local.Dada]

Pakistan is sending an inexperienced side to Nzl. If Matt Henry plays in favorable conditions, he might run through their line ups for fun.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Guys please don't compare Rassie to Bavuma. He may be past his prime but he was one of the best ODI batsmen in the world once upon a time, averaging over 70.

 

[big_gamer007]

Bavuma got to be the worst captain ever in history to have played for a top 4 team. This guy won’t even get into a minnow team like the current Pakistani team and is captaining SA.

 

[Local.Dada]

South Africans are getting to experience what watching Imam open feels like.

One thing for sure, Bavuma might lack ability but he tries and is unselfish.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Guys please don't compare Rassie to Bavuma. He may be past his prime but he was once one of the best ODI batsmen in the world.

Rassie is usually terrible while chasing. Worse than Bavuma

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hope Simon doull criticizes him

 

[Devadwal]

I told you that I have put trolls on watch. You and BD brothers BVB/sweeper. Enjoy the phainta NZ will give to SA. It is come again on Sunday.

There is button which can put you on my ignore list . anyway you're not even making any sence

 

[kingusama92]

Finally a boundary from Bavuma.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Watching it as fans of defending champs gives even more pleasure. We already did what you are fighting for

 

[jnaveen1980]

One thing for sure, Bavuma might lack ability but he tries and is unselfish.

I think he shuoldn't be in the XI for his lack of ability.

 

[Vikram1989]

Even worst than that Babar Azam innings

Make kl as captian and watch the game

 

[jnaveen1980]

Finally a boundary from Bavuma.

They are way behind the 8 ball game with 1 down chasing 360. One has to realize SA has a very long tail.

 

[Local.Dada]

I think he shuoldn't be in the XI for his lack of ability.

SA have some political issues and we don’t know the full picture. He might be quota but not the worst out there.

 

[kingusama92]

They are way behind the 8 ball game with 1 down chasing 360. One has to realize SA has a very long tail.

Definitely lagging behind here. Needed a quick start instead of what they're doing right now.

 

[Devadwal]

Trust on Bavuma defence . He is all set to Play Big knock

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA have some political issues and we don’t know the full picture. He might be quota but not the worst out there.

They can pick him in the squad as a quota pick. They don't have to keep him in the playing XI do they?

 

[Vikram1989]

Hope Simon doull criticizes him

Simon is a attention seeker i believe.he will criticise any sub continental player but not others.last time in wc 23 league match against ind, Mitchell was wasting deliveries for his century . Ravi and Gavaskar have to harass simon a lot to accept the fact.

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ is going to teach England how to defend a total of 350. THey were bowling pies after pies

 

[jnaveen1980]

King Bavuma given who gets this title these days.

 

[ChennaiFan]

New Zealand seem to be the strongest team in this competition. Strong batting unit, good allrounders, good pacers and spinners, and their fielding is the best. It is very difficult to beat this team.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Ian Smith is more honest than the rest of the commentators

 

[globetrotter]

Bavuma v Jamieson

More like David v Goliath

Undertaker Vs. Khali

 

[Vikram1989]

Rizbar, bavuma, kl should be the top four chasing a big score in limited formats.

 

[Asif321]

Bavuma doing a cronje

 

[jnaveen1980]

ROmesh Kaluvitharana was a dimunitive batsman as well. There was this match i remembe at the MCG where he thrashed Mcgrath lal over. I think it is all about intent.

 

[globetrotter]

South Africa trying hard for not to face India in Final

 

[mominsaigol]

I was talking about Travis Head

Travis Head isn't the beast. He's the Moustache Man.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mbangwa is trying to sound way too polite. lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

You have to consider the slow bowling option that NZ have at their disposal. Both Bracewell and Santner are familiar with these pitches. They know how to operate.

 

[Vikram1989]

Bavuma doing a babar by waiting only for cover drives

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rizbar, bavuma, kl should be the top four chasing a big score in limited formats.

Bavuma was upset when he was not picked for SA 20 lol At that time he was SA's T20 captain.

 

[Devadwal]

Ian Smith is more honest than the rest of the commentators

He is My favourite commentator currently . He has been wasted by ICC to not giving proper air time in big ICC tournament matches.

 

[Vikram1989]

Bavuma was upset when he was not picked for SA 20 lol At that time he was SA's T20 captain.

He has expected quota in franchise leagues too

 

[jnaveen1980]

KL Rahul is a mental midget. But won't compare him with Babar, Bavua. He has a top gear. He has a 14 ball fifty against Boult and Shami in the iPL>

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Undertaker Vs. Khali

Rey Mysterio v Khali*

 

[Nikhil_cric]

In Bowling PP since 2000 (min. 50 wickets ), lowest averages are

1. McGrath
2. Bond
3. Matt Henry

New ball skill is unmatched.

Bumrah?

 

[globetrotter]

Ian Smith is more honest than the rest of the commentators

True, can’t forget his commentary when surya took that magnificent catch of klaasen

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bumrah?

Bumrah is economical. They see him off carefully typically. But his ER must be insane.
