ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

The 1st Semi-Final match of India vs New Zealand team has started. India won the toss and came to bat. Scored 118 runs in 15 overs. So far India has lost 1 wicket. Rohit Sharma is out for 47 runs off 29 balls. Rohit Sharma few more overs.  If he could play, he could score good runs. Today Virat Kohli can bat as well as possible. However, the New Zealand team's bowling line is weak for which India team can score more than 300 runs. I hope that India team can perform very well in today's match.

Wao what a performance shown by indian team, it was expected from India that they will scored bunch of high significant runs to put more and more pressure on NewZeland while chasing . The way Kohli and Iyer took inning after dismissal of Rohit and retired hurt of shubman was phenomenal because it's really pressure situation to handle things at such high stage of world cup but they not only make things decent but scored a brilliant centuries and put a big total on target board. Now India has much high chances to qualify for finals but now they has to took early on wickets otherwise NewZeland has quality player through which they can full fill required target

Every batsman in India played very well. Rohit Sharma had a brilliant start. He scored 47 runs off just 29 balls. Gill and Kohli's partnership was very effective despite the loss of Rohit's wicket. Both Iyer and Kohli scored centuries. India were able to amass a huge total of 397 runs due to the excellent performance of the top order.

New Zealand need 132 runs to win in 10 overs. Indian pace bowlers have bowled well enough. Especially Mohammad Shami took 4 wickets. The result of this match will depend on the next 5 overs. If New Zealand can bat well and not lose wickets in 5 overs of power play then they have chances to win. But I expect India to win.

[HelliumZ]

The game is very much over for New Zealand, they need 149 runs on 70 balls and 6 wickets remaining. Daryl Mitchell is well set batsmen on 113 runs but asking rate has gone high to 12 runs per over. What a tournament Muhammad Shami is having, 4 more wickets today and 20 wickets so far in this tournament.

There is a lot of tension at the moment especially if the Indian bowlers can't get Daryl Mitchell out then India are in big trouble today. In the end if this batsman can survive then New Zealand's victory is sure. At the moment he has set the wicket brilliantly and the ball is coming into the bat brilliantly. So India's victory is guaranteed only if the Indian bowlers get him out as soon as possible.

The New Zealand team was under a bit of pressure after two of the New Zealand batsmen got out to bat against the target of 398 runs given by India. However, New Zealand captain Williamson and Daryl Mitchell are batting with responsibility. If the partnership of these two survives. New Zealand's current game situation where they have to play at the T20 level may turn the tide of the match. Indian bowlers are bowling brilliantly Mohammad Sami took 2 wickets. India bowlers put more pressure on the New Zealand batsmen. Now let's see whether New Zealand can finally cross the target of 398 runs to win.

New Zealand went through the beginning under a lot of pressure, but in the middle of the match, New Zealand performed very well at the crucial time. Here Williamson and Daryl Mitchell form a very nice partnership. New Zealand was able to score runs very quickly with a very nice partnership between the two. New Zealand has now collected 245 runs with the loss of 4 wickets. If New Zealand can perform better at the moment and get good runs then I think New Zealand has a chance to win today's match. Right now New Zealand need 153 runs off 73 balls to win. Daryl Mitchell is still batting at the crease. If Daryl Mitchell can play an innings of 150 runs in this important first semi-final match, New Zealand's might be very good. But anyway I will enjoy this match till the end let's see who will be lucky in this match.

New Zealand's quality of play was very good but they were very weak in bowling which is why India gave them such a big run target.  So now, no matter how well New Zealand plays, it will not be possible for them to cross that target. Because they have only 9 overs left and they still need 112 runs. So this is a big challenge for New Zealand and they cannot win this challenge. However, New Zealand's hard playing  is highly commendable. New Zealand can cross 350 runs but they will lose the match by few runs

If New Zealand can bat well and not lose wickets in 5 overs of power play then they have chances to win. But I expect India to win.

Mohammad Siraj gave 20 runs in the first over of the power play. Mohammad Siraj has bowled very well in this World Cup, but he could not do well in today's match. He gave 70 runs in 8 overs. New Zealand now need 112 runs from 54 balls. If these two New Zealand batsmen stay at the crease, maybe the match will be exciting till the last moment. However, New Zealand's chances of winning are still low. If they can score 80+ runs in these 5 overs of power play then maybe they have a chance to win.
If India lose today, the main reason for this defeat will be their poor fielding. The bowlers also gave away a lot of extra runs. New Zealand's bowlers gave only 8 extra runs. On the other hand, Indian bowlers have given 28 extra runs in 41 overs.

What a tournament Muhammad Shami is having, 4 more wickets today and 20 wickets so far in this tournament.

New Zealand batsmen can’t chase the target if they play like this, they should need to change the style of playing otherwise they accept loss. Indian bowlers know how to tackle these types of batsmen.

If Daryl Mitchell loses his wicket so New Zealand team's winning chances will finish as it is not an easy pitch for the new batsmen. Kane Williamson just did average runs, which means Kane Williamson doesn’t give any advantage to New Zealand in this match. It’s a big match, a semi final and they (NZ) play like they are playing an ordinary match. The run rate is very important and we don’t see that they are following the required run rate.

[FinePoine0]

Team India's performance today is so good that I think they can win easily.  Because the players of the Indian team have performed quite well in terms of batting from the beginning. India have given team score of 397 runs but I think at present New Zealand will fail to meet this target. Because in the end enough wickets were in the hands of the New Zealand team, but four New Zealand players fell to Mohammad Sami. It is a pity that Mohammad Sami bowling performance is so good that he alone is fighting against New Zealand team but other bowling they did not fall any wickets. So I think Mohammad Sameer, Virat Kohli, and Iyer contributed the most in terms of winning today. But there is still a chance for New Zealand to win if Mitchell continues to perform well. Mitchell scored 128 runs off 111 balls alone, his highest score in today's match.

Daryl Mitchell just an one Man Army.
If he gets out then all chances for New Zealand will be nil. G. Philips supporting him is creating chances for New Zealand but the New Zealand batsmen are being defeated at times by the bowling technique of the Indian bowlers.

Jusprit Bumrah dismissed G Philips just an appropriate time.

[3kpk3]

It's all over for New Zealand. Revenge taken successfully by the Indians in style. The match was pretty much over in the first innings itself thanks to the monster total set by the Indians. Rahul's late blitz won them the game.

Also, I expected Shami to be the highest wicket taker in this game and I was right. 7 freaking wickets. I think he should be awarded the man of the match award.

India won semi final by 70 runs against new Zealand and qualify for the final of wold cup. India outstanding batting and bowling performance in this match all out NewZealand in 327 runs in 48.5 overs. From NewZealand Daryl Mitchell scored a outstanding hundred and Glenn Phillips batting well scored 41 runs in just 33 balls unfortunately miss he half century by 9 runs short. India top class bowling performance Muhammad shami picked up 7 important wicktes by giving 57 runs in 9.5 over, what an amazing bowling spell for india bowlers. Kuldeep Yadav only pick 1 wicket of mark champion by giving 56 runs in 10 over and Jasprit Bumrah also picked 1 wickets by giving 64 runs in 10 overs.

Today India played brilliantly and set a target of 398 runs, it is difficult for any team to win by 398 runs. We could have enjoyed a better game if New Zealand's opening batsman had performed well. But New Zealand's opening batsman got out in the powerplay, putting New Zealand under a lot of pressure. Daryl Mitchell and Kane Williamson both put in excellent performances to help the team out of the pressure. But in the 33rd over, Mohammad Sami came to bowl and took 2 wickets, Kane Williamson and Tom Latham both got out after which New Zealand were under pressure again. Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips tried to lead both teams to victory but ultimately failed. Daryl Mitchell batted brilliantly today and was dismissed for 134 runs. Had one more New Zealand player scored a century today, the match would have been much more competitive. However, in today's match, Mohammad Sami impressed everyone with his bowling, single-handedly taking the crucial 7 wickets. Congratulations to the Indian team for a huge win.

Chasing big runs is very difficult especially with world class bowlers like India. If it was any other country than New Zealand team would definitely have scored better and it was not impossible to win there. When New Zealand scored 20 runs in the 41st over they had a chance if they could have scored 12 runs in the next over the pressure would have eased but the whole match saw the New Zealand batsmen miss a lot of balls which cost them such a big loss. Moreover, after Kane Williamson, Tom Latham's wicket took New Zealand's biggest loss in the match.

[Mahdirakib]

It's all over for New Zealand. Revenge taken successfully by the Indians in style. The match was pretty much over in the first innings itself thanks to the monster total set by the Indians. Rahul's late blitz won them the game.

India had indeed ensured their victory with their batting performance in the first innings. But I was expecting a competitive match as New Zealand has some top class batsmen. The openers have failed today in front of a big target. Otherwise, the match would be competitive for sure.

Also, I expected Shami to be the highest wicket taker in this game and I was right. 7 freaking wickets. I think he should be awarded the man of the match award.

There would have been a huge attack on Shami from the Indian fans if India lost the match today by any chance. Because he had dropped an easy catch of Williamson. Anyway, Shami is the game changer for India in this world cup.

Firstly, I would say that Congrats Indian squad qualify for final match of this 2023 World Cup by tremendous performance. I really feed quite sad for New Zealand squad because they have been out from 2023 World Cup in  semi final match and a similar condition happened with New Zealand squad in previous World Cup as well. New Zealand failed to defend this huge scores target of 397 scores and they defend only 327 scores. As far as I remember, biggest defending target of this World Cup was set by Pakistan squad which was close to a score of 350. 397 scores defending target was very big  and you right brother any squad of this world cup would not able to defend this target. So let's see second semi final match who will get victory tomorrow.

[GbitG]

India scored 397 runs in loss of 4 wickets in 50 overs. outstanding batting performance by indian batters especially virat Virat kholi scored amazing century 117 runs and Shubman Gill scored 80 runs unbeaten in just 66 balld alongside with Kl Rahul who scored 39 runs unbeaten in 20 balls and reached the India scored to 397 runs a huge target for New Zealand in semi finals match. NewZealand bowling poor bowling performance tim southee picked 3 important wicktes by giving 100 runs in 10 overs and Mitchell Santner bowling well but didn't pick any wicket by giving 51 runs in 10 overs.

Indian team were in mood from start to took his previous defeat revenge and registered his victory in semifinals against NewZeland, no doubt it's really sweet moments for every team players and fan because after a long time they got qualified for ODI world finals, Shami what a player he is. His performance and spectacular bowling but indian team on track no doubt batters players played a vital role in this victory in in my mind the main player of the match will be Shami because he took 7 important wickets in semifinals which is itself a big achievement because here pressure is at next level and restricting a set player before important runs is really difficult but he does and help his team to won this important match

The game is very much over for New Zealand, they need 149 runs on 70 balls and 6 wickets remaining. Daryl Mitchell is well set batsmen on 113 runs but asking rate has gone high to 12 runs per over. What a tournament Muhammad Shami is having, 4 more wickets today and 20 wickets so far in this tournament.

Today when the New Zealand has started their batting I thought they can win the game for their team but later they didn't played a good cricket. They had made many stops in their last overs, I don't know why they were playing like this after 31 over even they have more wickets in hand. But they were completely beaten by Muhammad Shami today as his bowling was crucial in the whole match.

Taking 7 wickets in the ODI match against the team like New Zealand is quite difficult but Muhammad Shami has proved that he has worked so hard in his previous days when he was not in the team and thus he has got his reward today. But better luck for the team New Zealand as they work but can't say as in the end It was looking a one sided match even they score good runs.

Today's first semi-final was very interesting and important for India and New Zealand. India won the semi finnal and go the finnal. If India did not win the match, then India's hard work would be wasted. But Indian batsman and bowler tried.The New Zealand batsmen tried hard but fate did not cooperate. new Zealand lose the semi finnal and it is very bad moment for new Zealand. Because New Zealand tried.Today new Zealand lose the match and old hard work waste. Because they could not win the match.It is hoped that India will win the final and claim this year's cup.India in 2023 world cup hard work .

I think if South Africa won the 2nd semi final match of the World Cup then we can see some interesting shots and a good final between South Africa and India. But the Team Australia is strong as regarding their both side, we can still expect in the match a 350+ runs as both the teams have some good batting kills and the players which can hit superb and good sixes at all.

Although Indian played good cricket in their recent match that was against the New Zealand and they was in mind already the 2019 World Cup. So, they was really crucial during the last overs of today's game.

[Vaskiy]

Also, I expected Shami to be the highest wicket taker in this game and I was right. 7 freaking wickets. I think he should be awarded the man of the match award.

After the first innings everyone predicted this to be an easy win for India. The quick fall of wickets added more to it, and the winning probability of New Zealand was just 2% which later reached as high as 17% by the 30^th over. The massive partnership of 181 runs from Williamson and Mitchell turned to be big pressure for India. After the partnership got broken, Phillips and Mitchell made 75 runs partnership. These three players kept the match lively for a long. Mohammad Shami is the real game changer, took 7 wickets and this is the highest wicket taken by a bowler in a world cup match.

[Jateng]

The game is very much over for New Zealand, they need 149 runs on 70 balls and 6 wickets remaining. Daryl Mitchell is well set batsmen on 113 runs but asking rate has gone high to 12 runs per over.

But they were completely beaten by Muhammad Shami today as his bowling was crucial in the whole match.

In the 1st Semi-Final match between NewZealand and India at Wankhede Stadium, India showcased brilliant all-round Cricket, setting a formidable total of 397/4 in 1st innings of match. Virat Kohli monumental century 117 for 113 balls marked his 50th ODI hundred, adding to the fireworks in the innings by by Shreyas Iyer brilliant knock of 105 runs and Rohit Sharma explosive start of the match by 47 runs. I think Despite Tim Southee's efforts with 3 wickets, India's batting performance proved unstoppable set a 398 runs target and NewZealand failed by missing 70 runs.

Shami has been exceptional in this tournament. Historically he has performed exceptionally well in all the ODI World Cups in which he has participated. And it was just shocking to see him warming the bench during initial matches. Indian selection panel needs an urgent revision. They have mistreated many great players. And I am not just talking about Shami. Look at what happened to Ravichandran Ashwin. He deserved at least one chance and they could have included him for the match against Netherlands.
