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

[kevinw]

Axar is going to score a 30 at a 50 SR but it'll be enough. Plenty of top order bats could learn a few things.

 

[honestbharani]

Good to see NZ have embraced their inner #cheats by keeping the electric and younger Chapman on the field in place of old man Wlliamson

Kane came out to give the pep talk during the drinks break immediately after which Gill got out too.

 

[SkyBlue]

Required run rate creeping up to 6 an over

 

[slowfinger]

bowling changes are far too predictable and defensive. think this will lose NZ the game

 

[Moss]

Meanwhile, how good has Macewell been today? The one NZ player to properly turn up for the big game, was thinking Santner could have turned to him even earlier given the confidence he must have taken from his innings.

Truly a good riposte to the doubters, I was one of them.

O magical Dubai, the city built by workers who get their passports confiscated and aren't allowed to piss during 12-hour shifts

 

[trundler]

Phillips making it way too easy ATM. That pressure is dissipating

 

[SkyBlue]

Never underestimate a good 'ol Indian choke

 

[OverratedSanity]

This has serious choke potential tbh

 

[slowfinger]

cmon bring the ****ing mid off up and ask him to hit over the top at least, the good balls are ging for singles here

 

[honestbharani]

Shreyas is riding his luck here.

 

[honestbharani]

haha Kane has even got the substitutes bib on.


Probably means he is running the drinks and some messages to the captain potentially.

 

[slowfinger]

Do NZ really need a deep cover?

 

[trundler]

GP would've caught that

 

[slowfinger]

pathetic bowling from Phillips, I really don't see what NZ are thinking here

 

[Moss]

This has serious choke potential tbh

It does, but NZ haven't applied pressure well enough against Iyer, plus Axar generally has good cough remedies. Backing this pair to put India back in the box seat.

 

[honestbharani]

Every ball hit in the air seems like a catching opportunity. That is how good NZ have been in the field today.

 

[King Kane]

This is where we could do with Sodhi to change things up like Kuldeep, he can be expensive but he can also be a wicket taker with his leg spin.

We need wickets now and he would be more useful than Smith on this pitch.

 

[SkyBlue]

Philips not working out

Santner needs to bring himself on

Was he in the squad?
