mitchell what a clutch bat

[OverratedSanity]

I’ve kinda been even more impressed by India’s bowling than their batting.

It's been very up and down this innings. Real mix of brilliant bowling and real wasteful trash, especially those early wides.

 

[Molehill]

Great innings by Mitchell nevertheless.

Shami's tournament is just outrageous.

On a road like this, his figures should get MOTM.

 

[silentstriker]

Shami should absolutely get MoM here

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Congrats India. Too good.
Shami brilliant.
Mitchell likewise.

Two 130s in losing causes. The team owes him a Michelin star dinner.

He should but I think we all know who will get it.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Well there ends any last hope of an absolute miracle. Great knock by Mitchell and a decent effort at chasing, but well short.

Bowling was absolutely battered and our pacers have not been up to the task all tournament. Really needed a batting contribution of some sort from Latham today, but he had nothing as per usual.

Given some of the weaknesses in the side we've had a decent tournament, but are clearly the fourth best side.

Some tough decisions and rebuilding will need to be done to this side before 2027.

India far too good and it's tough to see how anyone will beat them in the final.

 

[Andyhere]

He should but I think we all know who will get it.

I certainly hope not!

 

[Howsie]

Good to see CW’s golden boy (from the New Zealand contingent anyway) Tom Latham fired again. Where would this team be without his steady hand in the middle overs

 

[Moss]

We look like we may have put on 360-380 odd, if we batted first, but I suspect India would've chased it down

Yup, the bowling has been out of ideas since the Dharmsala game.

Clear swing difference in 2nd innings and no dew leading to ball spinning square, killed all the chances

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Blame it on the smoke monster at Dharmsala

 

[Andyhere]

Revenge from 2019 completed. NZ can pack their bags, just like they had India do in 2019.
Jaddu wicket was when India lost that game, now he is here catching kiwis in every corner of this ground.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Got closer than I expected but still a right thrashing this.

Kept poorly too

 

[Andyhere]

Bumrah would've had 3 wickets - 2 dropped chances that he created

 

[Athlai]

Nah it didn't kill all chances, we had a chance and lost.

Definitely on the backfoot. India left runs out there though imo. And their bowling has been a mixed bag. Some seriously poor discipline amongst some quality.

 

[Himannv]

Not been a close game at all. This has been far too easy for India - they are head and shoulders above the rest.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

So last ever NZ match for Boult? If so, thanks for the memories.
