Tough luck for NZ, toss was quite important here today.
Mitchell was insane. The six hitting down the ground was Guptillesque. At one point after the Siraj over they needed 100 from 50 or thereabouts and it was genuine brick ****ting territory.
Cannot stress how important the start from Rohit was. Just allows the rest to bat stress free knowing that if you don’t **** up 300 on the board is easy and 350+ is there for the taking if you bat well.

Yeah it was 112 from 54, then Kuldeep conceded just 2 runs making it 110 from 48

And Gill took over after Rohit got out and kept up the momentum. Played a really good hand.

So proud of how Kuldeep came back. Champion bowler.

I can't think of a single NZ player in history to compare Mitchell to. There's no one who touches him as a player who can do it all - play pace or spin, bat long periods, hit at the death, milk singles, clear the boundary, and most importantly do it against the best teams in the huge moments.
He now averages 52 in the format, with more tons than 50s.

Mitchell is another big positive for us, he has filled that aggressive no,4 role that Ross Taylor had brilliantly, just a pity he is 32 and not 10 years younger.
We should hopefully be able to get another 4 or 5 years out of him though, maybe more if we are lucky, he seems indestructible, I am always believing.

Well played, India. Sucks to lose, though.

Most importantly he is a clutch player .

Man there was a period which gave me serious 2016 PTSD.
Even there we didn't go as hard as we could (ended on 190 odd for 2)
Took two early wickets but then everything started going wrong with no ball wickets etc. Even today with the botched run out and the dropped catch etc.

Rohit's runs at the top provide a lot of cushion to us. If he got out early today, things would've been a lot different.

.I get your point but I can't see India changing a winning formula.

Shami got 7 wickets. India won by 70 runs.
Thala for a reason.

Being a first world country helps. Ultimately sports is a rich man's game.
Everything that can be optimized - nutrition, analytics etc is optimized.
India will also keep getting better as India keeps getting richer (as they have been for the past 20-25 years).

Shami has 23 wickets @ 9.13 for the WC which is the highest despite only playing 6 games. Nobody with a minimum of even 10+ wickets has an average even double that (18.26). It is the best bowling average for any bowler with more than one wicket this WC despite also being the most wickets in the tournament
Shami also now has the most 5-fers in WC history (4), all of which have come against top 8 sides. He also has the most 4+ wicket hauls (8) despite only playing a total of 17 WC games.
Shami's 7-fer today is the best bowling figures in a WC Knockout game overtaking Gary Gilmour's legendary 6-14 in the 1975 semi-final after 48 years.
Shami is the fastest both in terms of innings (17) and balls bowled (795) to reach 50 wickets in world cup history. The second fastest bowler, Starc took 941 balls to get to 50 wickets which is a whole 146 additional balls more than Shami.
Shami went past ODI greats Boult and Vass in WC wickets today and is just one wicket behind Wasim Akram in World Cups despite playing 17 games compared to Akram's 38. He currently has the sixth most WC wickets in history with Akram at 5th with 55 wickets and Malinga at 4th with 56 wickets.
