Final – India v New Zealand – Sunday, March 9 – Dubai

[Silver Silva]

NZ got the start and platform to score 300 now

One wicket will slow the run rate down , Williamson is a man of caution

Wickets generally slow down run rates of any team, Nostradamus

 

[SkyBlue]

Costly drop

 

[slowfinger]

That was a hideous swipe from Rachin

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Tough chance

 

[eroticfishcake]

3 c&b dropped by Shami

 

[King Kane]

Shami dropping Rachin and now doing the old pretend that he is injured trick so he doesn't get blamed for dropping it.

That was a hideous swipe from Rachin

Hideous swipes don't matter in finals against India. Ever heard of Travis Head?

 

[NZTailender]

Shami slowing the game down deliberately to try and bring about a wicket because they have no answer to Ravindra

DESPERATE

Good trick tbh

You're supposed to be the nice guys , final tension nerves ?

Sunday is the first day of the work week in UAE. Why didn't they play on Friday or Saturday to get a week-end crowd (maybe because ICC only care above TV $)

As far as I'm aware Dubai changed this a few years ago, to align with the RoW. Sat/Sun now weekend.

 

[SkyBlue]

51 off 7 overs

Choke is on

Haha that was flush on the pinky finger, that would have hurt.

Great pull shot, Will Young.

Need to be real positive on this pitch and break up length, it is flat as a biscuit this deck

 

[James]

Oh no....

 

[NZTailender]

Reiffel is usually good but fmd thats a howler

 

[anonymouskefe]

Surely not

 

[NZTailender]

OK Ravindra, just calm down

 

[King Kane]

Rachin reviewed that quickly, it didn't look like any bat on that to me.

A shocker from Pistol.

Interesting stat after the Black Caps' catching has been a bit of an issue in recent times (maybe more in tests).
