Champions Trophy Game 12 Group A, India v New Zealand 2/3 1930hrs @ Dubai International Cricket Stadium

It would be a massive choke from here if NZ lose

It’s not T20 - lots of teams have been 3/30 and gone on to big scores, happy to be proven wrong but there’s a long way to go

Even in T20 three early wickets will only prevent 220+ scores but won't prevent 180.

 

[Zevon]

Problem is India can bat at 7 an over without taking risks. They're never out of it.

True but this deck looks to be one of the trickier ones on which to do that. Extremely slow and everyone has struggled badly for timing on it so far

Pitches are worn out

India refusing to leave Dubai for the whole tournament so they can win the Temu World Cup. **** em'.

India lose a review early. Surprised they reviewed it.

Gill is just Watson MK2 for reviews

Surely you don't have to put much effort in to get that result

 

[Moonwatcher]

3/107 doesn't look so bad.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Though they only have 24 overs left.

 

[Moonwatcher]

I would have gone two handed for sure

 

[Plugger35]

3/107 doesn't look so bad.

What about 4/128?

 

[Moonwatcher]

What about 4/128?

Not what India wanted.

 

[Moonwatcher]

A run a ball is still 250. A late hit out and they could get 270. Tracking a bit like the SA v VIC final yesterday.

 

[Moonwatcher]

India in trouble now

 

[Moonwatcher]

India v Australia it is for the Semi

EDIT: NZ v AUS

 

[Plugger35]

This match is swinging back to the Black Caps.

India v Australia it is for the Semi

If New Zealand win, they'll play Australia in Lahore with South Africa playing India in Dubai.

Whoops , yeah

 

[Moonwatcher]

Even the Indian #8 you would trust to increase the runrate and score bulk runs

 

[Moonwatcher]

LOL Williamson

 

[Moonwatcher]

Williamson almost as good as the Phillips catches.

 

[Zevon]

Another blinder, this time from Williamson. Goodness the Kiwis have caught sensationally this tournament so far.

 

[Plugger35]

Williamson with a Phillips like catch.

We're into the India tail now.

 

[Doggy]

Fine with anyone but India winning the Temu comp
