I agree, but you can limit the damage by not losing lines/lengths. Been a pattern over the last few games.We haven't bowled that well but the bowlers are on to a hiding to nothing bowling on this pitch, it's way too much in favour of the batsmen.
It's not a good pitch even for an ODI, you need a better balance between bat and ball to provide a better contest, only Indian fans will be enjoying this.
Southee looked like he was on his last legs in about his third over, so they will really be struggling by now.nz fielders tired out there. expect boundaries from now on. chasing balls near the boundary not going to be as intense. except for conway who is a gun
No I’m just genuinely surprised if this is a thing because I’ve never heard of it. I’m just thinking about the logistics behind it.
And also I don’t pay attention to non Tests for the most part so I genuinely have no idea how stuff like that works. And I’m surprised if it’s a thing that’s all.
lot of people only attend evening portion of games because of heatLooks like a few empty seats in the crowd which surprises me. Do people in Mumbai come down to the ground for the evening session on their way back from the beach or the shops?

Was anyone suggesting NZ were favourites coming into this game?Outside of beating England in the first game of the tournament NZ lost to rest of the big teams, ind, Aus, SA and pak. So this was on the cards.
When you barely make semis after comparatively beating bang, afg, Netherlands and SL, this is the reality check you deserve!
So 410 total then... or thereaboutsOnly 13 overs left. They need to at least target a minimum 10 from every over.
Lets meet you half way and say 6 an overOnly 13 overs left. They need to at least target a minimum 10 from every over.
