ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[3kpk3]

Just for Luls, You know what would be funny?

South Africa and New Zealand beating their respective opponent in the Semis, it would be a big *uck you moment for PIG-3 as one is already crippled and kicked out.

We'll also have a new World Champion as both teams failed to win the ODI WC, like a million times.

I wouldn't mind that at all if I am being honest. Both South Africa and New Zealand resemble RCB and KXIP who are literally dying to win the cup atleast once just like England in the last edition.

India/Australia winning would resemble CSK/MI in this context and are predictable winners.

India have won their last 4 matches against New Zealand. India will naturally be very confident in the semi-final match. Moreover, the advantage of of home ground remains with them. On the other hand, the batting performance of the players is also consistent. The dominance of the bowlers is also excellent. All in all, India's position is now on top. On the other hand, the New Zealand team has also turned around again. In the last 2019 World Cup, the New Zealand team beat India in the semi-finals, so they can be a bit confident. But India performing remarkably well on their own ground which is a tough challenge for any team.

Whichever team will play well tomorrow will be declared the winner, because now the final stage has started, there is no room for mistakes. Whoever has a good day tomorrow will win. It doesn't matter that New Zealand beat India in the semi-final of the 2019 World Cup and that might give New Zealand an advantage.

Four years are about to be completed, now the current performance should be seen, In which India has a clear advantage. I think the biggest confidence boost for India is that they are unbeaten so far in this World Cup. The New Zealand team will have to put up an extraordinary performance to defeat India.

But looking at their head to head matches they have already played Indian Cricket Team didn't have a high advantage over the Team New Zealand, only they are 9 matches ahead as they won 50 matches while the New Zealand Team is behind them with winning 50 matches. So, tomorrow's match will be an interesting one as we look at their all the actual results.

Although Indian Team has their home, so this will also be taken as an advantage for them, we can still expect New Zealand to win because on these pitches now New Zealand have a slight grip and the know the conditions to play on those pitches in how much overs how to score runs. Let's wait for tomorrow to see a good result from both the Teams by hitting more and more sixes.

You phrase that India is unbeatable in this World Cup giving them confidence but I think if they fall in this concept they will lose today's match. One thing should be remember that in competition not go over confidently and this will lead you to underestimate the progress of your opponent for the match. If they go confidently to the grounds what if the new Zeland team comes with a new tactic, plan, and energy? The Indian team will lose their match. If the Indian team wants to maintain their dominance then keep going the same in this match as in the previous matches and everyone will do their 100%. yeah, I know they will qualify for this match and I am betting on India that they will win this World Cup.

That goes both ways because India knows how the pitch very nicely too. The biggest difference between both teams at present is their bowling attacks where India is far superior when compared to the Kiwis.

Am not expecting this contest to be a high scoring contest primarily because of this particular reason.

Well.. we will get the answer to your questions in a few hours. The match is going to take place at the Wankhede (where Indians do have a good track record), and compared to the other semi-final, India's opponents for today are relatively weak. But they should not forget what happened during the semi-final of the 2019 world cup. That said, back then the match took place in England and Indians were not comfortable with the conditions. This time, everything is in their favor and the fans will not accept a defeat today.

There will be a Semi- Final match played between India and New Zealand, Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer Kl Rahul are in form now, and if we think their other batters who have also strong enough to provide good shots all over the boundaries, a benefit for the Indian Team is that they have their home ground in which they plays a good cricket as compared to other grounds.

Also New Zealand cricket Team is giving a tough time, as they practices their players in the practice session today. Kane Williamson is the key player for the team of New Zealand and we know if he scores big the New Zealand can chase even a big total in the matches we have seen. So, he have to play some big shots and a knock will be need in  order to win the match.

Indian team is in very good form in the current season, the batting form of the Indian team is much stronger than the New Zealand players. And Indian team is very strong at home ground, semi final match will be held at Mumbai ground so Indian team can fight this match with much more courage. Because the performance of Indian team in Mumbai field is very good but New Zealand team is a little weak in this aspect as well. The Indian team has not lost a match this season, but the New Zealand team has won a total of five matches to enter the semi-finals. So Indian team is stronger than New Zealand team and India team can definitely win this match.

India have won their last 4 matches against New Zealand. India will naturally be very confident in the semi-final match. Moreover, the advantage of of home ground remains with them. On the other hand, the batting performance of the players is also consistent. The dominance of the bowlers is also excellent. All in all, India's position is now on top. On the other hand, the New Zealand team has also turned around again. In the last 2019 World Cup, the New Zealand team beat India in the semi-finals, so they can be a bit confident. But India performing remarkably well on their own ground which is a tough challenge for any team.

Before the start of the match against New Zealand, former New Zealand captain and wicket-keeper batsman Ross Taylor made a comment about India, saying that if there is only one team India is nervous about, it is New Zealand. India ended their World Cup by defeating New Zealand in the semi-finals of the last World Cup, India again have the same opponent in the 2023 World Cup, but the 2019 opponent and the 2023 opponent are different. The way India are playing in 2023, it looks like India is going to win the World Cup again after 2007. However, before the start of the match, the captains of the two teams were seen holding a press conference. In the press conference, the captains of the two teams seemed very normal, so I think today we will see a good match between India and New Zealand.

After the first 2 defeat, Australia bounce back well tho and everyone chipped in, including top order, middle order and bowlers as well so they are on the right track despite their recent meltdown against Afghanistan.

So far, SA is dominating when batting first but at the same time they look completely different outfit when chasing the target so it'll be an interesting contest if they win the toss.

Australia's main weakpoint is the fact that they aren't able to win easily if their top order falls quickly. Maxwell miracle was an insane exception. They are over-dependent on Warner and Marsh basically.

On the other hand, South Africa are also over-dependent on De Kock to some extent, but they manage well without him more often than not.

Australia team has performed very well in batting form, Maxwell has shown a great game in front of the audience. If Maxwell can perform like this again, then there is a possibility that the South African team will lose. The Australian team has a lot of experienced batting and bowling lines are very strong. The team that defends the wicket and stays on the field at the end will win the semi-final as this match will at least face a tough fight. The South African team is weak as they have scored huge runs in few matches and if the bowling stand alone can be kept under pressure then the team will have more chances to win.

Cricket pundits have already guessed which two teams are likely to participate in the final. India has a lot of chances in today's match whereas South Africa and Australia have a chance of winning the match. If India and Australia meet in the final, then it is not possible to comment on which team will be the champion. However, flying India may have all the qualifications to become champions this time. Several old players including captain Rohit Sharma are in great form in this year's World Cup, so maybe India deserves to be the champion of this year's World Cup.

It doesn't matter that New Zealand beat India in the semi-final of the 2019 World Cup and that might give New Zealand an advantage.

It will be really tough and excited fight because both team are well balanced and in formed  and no one will allow even a single opportunity to his opponent to settle down because a single catch drop or any other mistake will cost them a defeat. No doubt India has some recent bad history against NewZeland in ODI world Cup which definitely will irretate them a bit but at the same time indian undefeated  winning streak confident will tackle them easily also they were properly utilizing his home ground edge so they will have best planing too. So the point is that I believe India will took his revenge like Afghanistan get his first ever win against paksitan. But anyway victory will depend on current day performance.

[AnonBitCoiner]

Today is the first semi final of ICC World Cup and this match is between New Zealand and India. The team of India did not loss any match in ICC  World Cup. There will be a competent match between these team. Both team will performed better and will try their best to win this match. If Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma out quickly then there will be difficulty for India to win this match. It depends on toss that which team will win the toss. outcome of match is totally concerned with toss.

I don't think any team should be compared with KXIP because this franchise has one of the worst cricketing ecosystems because of the owner, no one gets the freedom to run the squad for long at least in support staff or Skipper for that matter.

But if want to compare then maybe BCB or PCB board might be suitable candidates.

Today is the first semi final of ICC World Cup and this match is between New Zealand and India. The team of India did not loss any match in ICC  World Cup. There will be a competent match between these team. Both team will performed better and will try their best to win this match. If Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma out quickly then there will be difficulty for India to win this match. It depends on toss that which team will win the toss. outcome of match is totally concerned with toss.

Today is the first semi-final match, people are very excited about today’s match, especially the Indians, are too much excited because today’s match hosted by India, and Indians have too much craze for cricket so that’s why I can bet that the stadium will full in just a few moments when the match will start.
The match will be played in Wankhede and the pitch of Wankhede stadium is the batting pitch, this pitch gives too many scores in the light of the sun so the country who won the toss will decide to bat first. Today's match will start in about an hour or so and is an exciting match for everyone.

If New Zealand can get Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma out quickly, India will be under a bit of pressure. But all the Indian batsmen are in great form at present. KL Rahul, Shubman Gill are also in great form at present. The top order batsmen in particular performed well against the Netherlands and the middle order batsmen performed well. However, the top order and middle order batsmen in the current Indian squad are strong but the lower order batting is not very good. If New Zealand has to win today's match, India's wickets must fall quickly. If India can be kept under pressure, New Zealand will have a positive side in today's match. India is ahead to win today's match. But incidents can happen anytime in the game of cricket, today both teams will try to win today's match. Anyway good luck to both teams today.

India is still looking strong. Which one will take first turn, If India will take first turn so they have to make 350+ runs to make some pressure on New Zealand team. And if New Zealand team will take first turn so they also need to make 350+ runs. Both are in semifinal so both will try to qualify for the final.
So both should focus on bowling too. If we took a look in last match so we will see that India's 9 players bowled in that match. Even Virat Kohli also bowled and got one wicket. But this is a big match they will not make that kind of mistakes. India has Bumrah and Muhammed Siraj and there is Muhammad Shami too. These three are good bowler.
New Zealand has Trent Boult and Mitchell Santner. By the way today match will be very interesting.

[speeder]

New Zealand vs India in today's first semi-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup. India will enter the field as the favorite team in today's match. It is not unknown to anyone that the Indian team is at the top of the cricket chest. As a fan of Indian cricket team, I expect India to win the first semi-final match. It is expected that in today's match the Indian team will present a wonderful match to the cricket lovers. Today's first semi-final match will start shortly. Only 35 minutes left for this match to start.

Rohit Sharma won the first semi-final toss and decided to bat first. I was thinking to myself if India will not field to toss They will bat. India team will want to bat first and give a target of big runs. Indian batsmen have been playing very well and are in form since the start of 2023 World Cup. I think India's opening pair will try to make big runs partnership today. India team has some strong batsmen Rohit Sharma Virat Kohli they are batting well. If the batsmen of India can bat well, they can give a target of 400 runs to New Zealand. New Zealand bowlers should bowl well and try to keep India within 300 runs. If India can stop 300 runs. Then today's match can go in favor of New Zealand.

The toss often favors luck at this stadium, especially today when Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat immediately, which is undoubtedly a sign of a shrewd captain. If they win the toss and make the score above 350 runs, then undoubtedly New Zealand will not be able to win by targeting this run today. Out of the number of matches that have been held at this stadium in this World Cup, only Australia-Afghanistan managed to win by a run target and failed to win by a run target in every other game. Today is likely to be no exception.

The first semi-final match of the ICC Cricket World Cup has already started. In today's first semi-final match, India won the toss and are batting first against New Zealand. Indian cricket team is off to a very good batting start. The Indian cricket team has so far scored 61 runs without a wicket in seven overs. The two openers of the Indian cricket team, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, are playing the balls of the bowlers of the New Zealand cricket team very easily without any trouble. Indian cricket team opener Rohit Sharma is in great form with the bat. Rohit Sharma has so far scored 47 runs off 28 balls.  In Rohit Sharma's batting performance, it seems that Rohit Sharma will be able to write his name in the century book very easily. Now let's see how well these two openers of the Indian team can bat to give a big target to the New Zealand team

[Sithara007]

India has raced to 118/1 after 15 overs, and the run rate stands at close to 8 per over. Apart from Mitchell Santner (3-0-18-0), everyone else have conceded more than 7 runs per over. Anyway, Hotstar will be quite happy with the viewership count. The peak viewership measured at close to 3.5 crore till now, and as we enter the depth overs we can expect anything near 5 crore, which is going to be a new record. Shubman Gill has reached his half century, but from the other end Virat Kohli is playing a bit more cautiously.

[rojan]

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.
