[sujonali1819]

Again the rain is playing with us/teams. The first Semifinal also affected by rain which is very disgusting really. People and the supporters have been waiting to see the semi-final match but THE GOD has proved again The GOD is the only one almighty. anyway if rain continuously increasing like previous then what will? Have any reserved day for Semi finals?

Yes mate today we are not going to get the result due to rain, so we have to wait for tomorrow to get the 1st semi-final game result between india vs new Zealand, really it was very sad for all cricket lovers.

Really LOL!!!

I just have seen that the match is suspended due to rain and the match will resume on 10th July. The NZ score is 211/5 in 46.1 overs. The score is not good as in a semi-final. If the score will go higher 300 more then we will can see a fighting match. But in this lower score ( suspecting 240-250 runs) is very to India and India will win the match easily I think. Let's pray for the next day that rain will not come again.

What a day it was where first batting NZ was too slow it seems as they were just playing for singles rather than looking aggressive and score some runs which was lacking from them today. Now first semi finals itself is rain effected and tomorrow we will see the second innings of the match.

True.

England will win it.

The rain has played a huge part in this World Cup and it continues to do so but lucky this time the ICC have a reserve day in case of rain so hopefully we will get a result from this semi-final. The rain came at a bad time for New Zealand as they just started to get going after a slow start to the match, it will be interesting to see what happens on Wednesday as New Zealand need at least another 50+ runs to set a decent sized target for India to chase. If the rain sticks around it could make things very interesting.

50+ is not a decent size score for a team who's players scored 2 100's one after other in the last matches. I don't religiously follow cricket but keep a keen interest in the World Cup games. It's an easy target for any team to achieve.

India vs England final

True.

England will win it.

And who the fuck you are to decide that? Jesus Christ? There's a difference between predicting and illogical conclusion.

Not really, Kiwis were lucky yesterday because momentum was with the Indian team, Indian bowlers were bowling exceptionally except Chahal's one over where he gave away around 18 runs. we should not forget that Rain came after 46 over and Bhuvi and Bumarah had their 2-2 overs left. i highly doubt that kiwis could slog against them and get 50+ runs in just 24 balls.

And who the fuck you are to decide that? Jesus Christ? There's a difference between predicting and illogical conclusion.

It appears to me that you don't remember how the Indian team performed against English team last year and of course who can forget playoff match. Having said that if India and England face each other in finals then my money on the Indian team.

May be NZ captain understood this pitch and they might had decided around 250 runs may be a good score to win this game. If they score around 10 runs per over they can reach around 250 runs and if they bowl well may be they can try their luck. If outer boundry is fully wet then Indian batsman can't hit many fours instead they also need to rotate strick and get ones and twos to win this game or go of sixes.

Yes, NZ should have started agressive batting atleast after 35 overs but now it is already too late.

India vs England final

True.

England will win it.

It looks very likely. England is in top form right now, and I expect them to defeat Australia. And during the group stages, England was the only team that was able to beat India. Against England, India has around 50% chance of a win. Against any other opponent, they have more than 50%. That said, I personally want England to win. They have never won the CWC till now.

This is why I said before the start of the tournament that teams from South Asia  should arrive in England at least two weeks prior to the start, and get themselves acclimatized to the conditions. Bangladesh was the only Asian team which did that, and the impact was evident from the first round of matches. That said, both India and Pakistan fought well after the initial setbacks.

Small correction, Don't know you remember or not but the Pakistani team played 5 ODI and 1 T20 against the English team in England, just before the World cup. They were literally camping there.

I know Pakistan shows good performance in T20 matches but I am not happy with their performance in world cup matches but let’s see who wins, NZ is yet playing well but India will have to show good effort to win from NZ, I want NZ to show good result so that India won’t be able to accomplish the given target, but both are surely good teams.

What's gonna happen is really confusing, because whenever India plays against New Zealand the rain has interrupted the match. Already India didn't played against New Zealand, now its the second time, as it is the semi-finals the second innings is planned for tomorrow. It is truly good for both the teams, and we can't go on easy predictions. After the pitch report only some form of predictions can be made.

It is true that when both countries have played rain has interrupted the match. But just if match happens fully then NZ have some great bowlers and that score chasing in semi finals is a pressure one so already chasing say 240 is like 280 on the minds and thus NZ still have a good chance to be in the game.

Even scoring 240 is going to be extremely difficult, as Jaspreet Bumrah will be bowling half of the remaining overs.  The spinners don't have any overs remaining so I guess the other two may be bowled by Bhuvneshwar Kumar. And if somehow they are able to score in the vicinity of 240, it is simply not enough to beat India. Any score less than 300 is going to be cakewalk for Kohli & Co.

[sujonali1819]

The match have already started and NZ achieved 239/8 in 50 overs. And the miracle is a started when India start to Bat. India lost their 3 wickets in only 5 runs where Rahul,Rohit and Kohli both are out only for 1 runs in their personal score. Now the score is 25/4 in 10.2 overs. Really cricket is am unpredictable game.  

[Tipstar]

India in a trouble now. Already lost half of their wickets and need 148 runs in next 20 overs. i.e. a run rate of 7.4. This certainly is a bowling pitch and New Zealand's score is a good one.
This game could easily be won by New Zealand if they kept bowling the same way and keep their field tight.

India is no longer looking in that much trouble, as Ravindra Jadeja is playing a very aggressive inning and trying to get the game back in India's control. Awesome effort by this all-rounder, let's see if he's able to finish it up for India.

The match has gone into the hands of New Zealand once after the wickets of Jadeja and Dhoni fell on the consecutive overs. 23 runs in a over is simple an unbeatable run for the last wicket left.

India lost the match by 18 runs, it is too disappointing that they are not able to chase it. New Zealand bowlers done a very good job, now they will be playing the final and hope they win it.

[sujonali1819]

I am very sad today as a Indian Supporter. I never thought before starting batting that India will lost the match. Anyway, its totally credits of NZ bowler's. They played well really. Now we need to wait for seeing another miracle in the second Semi-final.
