1st Semi Final - India v New Zealand

[Test fan]

India showing how pathetic is DLS system ...

Love Jadeja the fielder.

Yeah NZ have really missed out on relatively poor death bowling from these two, considering their usual standard.

India showing how pathetic is DLS system ...

Not sure how?

NZ doing pretty well given the circumstances.

 

[Athlai]

Well that was the minimum we wanted from the morning.

 

[weldone]

239, that's at least 30 below par.

Now NZ need both Rohit's and Kohli's wickets in first 10. Otherwise India will win as there's no RRR pressure.

 

[trundler]

Bumrah bowled like 5 easily hittable balls there. This is why NZ will never be as good as Australia.

 

[cnerd123]

So 240 it is for India to win here

Good game on our hands I reckon

 

[stephen]

NZ will be hoping those clouds move over in the next two minutes. One can't help but feel that they are 30 runs short given the weather today.

 

[Spintolose]

Phew! Thank Christ the innings is finally over.?
It seemed to be going on forever.

 

[trundler]

This pitch is basically a Wankhede surface. Good luck against Rohit.

Probably need Dhoni as well who is Taylor made for this kind of chase (pun intended).

 

[Meridio]

Only one boundary today, it's not easy to come in and hit from ball one. Need to bowl very accurately, make India force the pace, can't afford to give any freebies.

 

[Spintolose]

How many overs will India take to knock this off?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dhoni should probably be able to do well in a chase like this.

 

[weldone]

sure but maybe not in the first 10 overs

 

[hendrix]

reckon we're 60 below par. Will need an extraodinary effort in the field.

India only need a good start with the bat to kill the match, really. Their openers will be given a licence.

 

[trundler]

The problem is, I don't think India will have a problem at all with pace off the ball. That's probably the average Indian pacer at his fastest.

 

[Contra]

Dhoni is the perfect kind of guy to have in your side in a chase like this. Need to see off the new ball and we should be good to go.

 

[Howsie]

30 short IMO. India will chase this down with 4-5 overs to spare

 

[aussie tragic]

State of Origin about to start. I'm wondering if this will be all over by the time I get back...sorry NZ
