***Official***Semi-Final #1- India vs New Zealand - November 15th - Wankhede, Mumbai (D/N)

[Adorable Asshole]

Can we crown ourselves the World Champions already. We have won against the only team which had given us some fight.

The only chance we have of losing this WC is SA bat first and Shami and Bumrah has an off day.

We really played thakur over this guy lmao

We played Chahal over him in 19 semi

England the only team to have kept your batting quiet

I'd say both England and Australia were going well in their games 5 overs into the 2nd innings.....

Congrats Shami. Amazing. In a batting dominated tournament should be player of the tournament despite not being selected for the 1st few games.

Great intensity from Rohit right from the 1st over led the way. Well done.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Dominant India

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hard luck NZ fans. Must be the most annoying team to face, these ***** never give up. Mitchell was awesome, kane really rode his luck I thought. Apart from Shami bring godlike, I thought Rohit's start and Iyers acceleration right before the slog overs began made the difference in the end.

 

[OverratedSanity]

That was so much more tense than the final result, jeez. Felt like another big over or two from Phillips or Mitchell could've swung this game. Great match.

 

[King Kane]

Disappointing to lose but we gave it a good crack.

Well done to Shami with 7 wickets, underrated bowler, should be MOTM.

I will be surprised if India don't go on to win the final, they look unbeatable.

 

[Anil]

Any chance of Pandya coming back for Shami for the final?

Should be seriously looked into...

 

[Andyhere]

Like I mentioned earlier. NZ can hold their head high. They played good cricket but the opposition was better.

 

[Silver Silva]

NZ can be proud of such a performance. They went down fighting, all you can ask for really well played. Congratulations to India. The best team is in the final.

 

[Aidan11]

No way will Kohli take MoM from Shami now.

 

[Sunil1z]

Hard luck NZ . You played too good . Won’t lie at 30 over mark, I thought we were losing another knockout game .

 

[Anil]

England the only team to have kept your batting quiet

And we can't claim the same thing so you win!

 

[Adorable Asshole]

I'd say both England and Australia were going well in their games 5 overs into the 2nd innings.....

Meanwhile in both these matches NZ was in the match till 40th over.

 

[Stefan9]

NZ 2 most experienced bowlers going for 186 of their 20 overs is where the game was lost.
Well fought NZ.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Yeah there's a lot to work with for NZ, atleast from a batting front. In 2027 we should see

1.Rachin/Young
2.Conway
3.Young/Rachin
4.Mitchell
5.
6.Phillips
7.
8,Santner
9.Henry/Jamieson
10.Shipley/Jamieson
11.Fergo/Milne/?

Need a keeper who can bat 5 unless conway/phillips take the gloves and an allrounder. Death bowling looks a bit short, but there's plenty of talented bowlers running around the NZ circuit RN.

No, we should have more changes than that. These guys are pretty old.

 

[Window]

I didn’t expect Shami to sound like this. Been ages since I last heard him talk.
