ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD!

[Bureau]

Shami did it again when all Indian bowlers were not able to get wickets. The third wicket of Williamson the captain of the New Zealand side gone with a brilliant bowling by Shami. This guy is delivering where none of the Indian bowlers can get a wicket. He got 4 wickets and it might be another day he would or might get a fifer and register his name in the history. What an amazing game of cricket we might be watching today as Shami delivered when India needed wickets. Again this guy is changing the game in favour of India and making him an exceptional bowler for India.

50 world cup wickets for Mohammed Shami at a crazy average and strike rate.

Edit: Yet another wicket for Mohammed Shami. He is on a role with his bowling.

It is crazy that Mohammed Shami was not in the first playing eleven until Hardik was injured and yet he is one of the leading wicket takers in this tournament and yet another 4 wicket haul in this match.

~
India hasn't been tested by any team yet and this is their first test and that too in the semi finals. I never thought New Zealand to fight this hard after being smashed for 397 runs.

Mohammed Shami just changed the match situation completely, picking two wicket back to back after dropping a catch and India is back in the game and more pressure back to New Zealand. Daryl Mitchell is still in the crease and even if he play a Maxwell kind of innings it is a difficult target to chase as the required rate keeps on climbing.

If New Zealand is able to play like this for the next 10 overs and do not loose a wicket, then it is highly likely they could challenge India once again in a semi finals  .

Daryl Mitchell is one short of his century and he needs to keep on batting till the end and if India is not able to break this partnership and then considering the flat wicket which is not helping the bowlers, it might be a good chase.

220 runs in 32 overs against India, New Zealand is playing well. Probably New Zealand will not be able to cross the huge run target given by India but New Zealand is surprising everyone by playing so well. Daryl Mitchell is playing very well and has already completed 100 runs. But till now he is not out. Daryl Mitchell's good performance in such a tough match is enhancing his reputation a lot. I believe that India will win this match as a target like 397 runs will not be possible for New Zealand to overcome. Because they still need 178 runs in 17 overs which demands about around 2 runs per ball. Although such a score is possible, I am not sure if it will be possible for New Zealand Against India

[JunaidAzizi]

From Asia Cup to the 2023 World Cup, India has arranged their team beautifully, the way India is performing in the 2023 World Cup is commendable. Those who are cricket fans will fall in love with the batting of Indian batsmen. Virat Kohli is batting well, Shubman Gill and Shreysa are batting well. Shubman Gill could not play due to pain. If Shubman Gill could have batted, the run would have increased a bit more. Team India would have seen three centuries. Both Virat Kohli and Shreysa scored centuries. New Zealand will have to bat at a target of 398 runs. However, a target of 398 runs will not be very easy for New Zealand. Now let's finally see how many runs New Zealand can score.

Why someone will not fall in love with the Indian players? There is no reason to hate them instead they are playing very well in both  Asia cupCupd the ongoing World Cup. In today's match, the batsman of the Indian team did a massive score of 397 and if they make a four on the last ball then the target will be 400 which is a very big target. The two batsman Virat and Lyer of the the Indian team made a big partnership and made a century. Virat did 117 runs on 113 balls and Lyer did 105 on just 70 balls, look at the performance of layer he did a century on just 70 balls, and this shows that how much the indian team is prepared for this wordcup. I don't think that newzeland team will chase them as the bowlers are also in a good position. The match is going more difficult as balls are fewer and runs are double it.

New Zealand still need 168 runs off 85 balls. If Williamson was not out, maybe the speed of the game would have been better. Immediately after Williamson was out, another batsman was out. New Zealand is under some pressure after losing two wickets in a row. Now New Zealand's last hope is Daryl Mitchell. If he plays as well as Australia's Maxwell, he can take New Zealand today. India's batsman Md Sami is bowling brilliantly, taking four wickets alone. However, today's match is still in India's possession. Then since cricket is a game of uncertainty, nothing can be said in advance. We will have to wait until the end to see which team will win.

Looking at the current situation I feel this game is poised to go both ways. Although they as in the Kiwis are behind the asking run rate. Indian bowlers are bowling at their best and one bowler is getting them wickets. Shami was the guy sitting on the desk before he got an opportunity. I feel he will again get his five wickets or more this time. For me, if New Zealand tries their best these guys won't be able to chase the target unless someone bats like Maxwell.

Daryl Mitchell's fifth ODI hundred is putting New Zealand lead the game. However, the team needs similar performances from other batters, especially hoping for a good contribution from Phillips today. The current run rate is over 12 runs, and it's expected to increase as the match goes on. It seems like India is back in the game, and it's just a matter of time before they confirm their win. When it matters the most, Indian bowlers are delivering their best. While things are getting tough for New Zealand batters at every minutes, they fail to maintain the Net Run Rate (nrr).

I have to say New Zealand are playing very well under  such pressure. After losing two wickets in the first 8 overs, I thought 200 would be their maximum. But with Mitchell and Williamson's good batting, New Zealand managed to make the match competitive.

New Zealand now need 153 runs from 72 balls. New Zealand's batsmen have to  collect about 13 runs per over. It is much more difficult to collect 13 runs in an over against experienced  bowlers. Now Indian bowlers bowling is very controlled. Indian fielders missed a lot of fielding in this match. I have not seen such bad fielding from Indian fielders in any other match of this World Cup.

The dropping of Williamson's wicket was a bad gap for the team if he had stood for some more time the scenario would have been changed now but I think dropping off its wicket is good for the team now because he missing a lot of balls. He scored 69 runs on 73 balls. He is a captain and we expect a century from him I'm these 73 balls but let's see if Phillip will regain the deficiency williamsons, the Mitchills doing great did 122 runs on 111 balls and still stands hope he will do some more runs and leading towards 180 plus. Now the score is 291 with the loss of 4 wickets in 42 overs remaining 8 overs and I don't think they will do this.

Breaking partnership by Jusprit Bumrah at the moment is a huge achievement for the team. Another wicket fell Kuldeep Yadav was instrumental in taking the wicket of Chapman to take India to victory. Yes, if someone like Maxwell can't play an innings, then no one can ensure New Zealand's victory in these short balls. So let's assume that New Zealand's defeat is certain.

[Bureau]

It is over now! India will win the semifinals and be in the finals. There is nothing to stop India anymore from going into the finals. Another match that India dominates and this would be the 10th game in the World Cup. Brilliant captaincy by Rohit Sharma and above-average playing by the Indian team. When they needed a wicket they got it and when they needed runs they got it. This Indian team is playing their best game and they need to win the cup.

The required run rate is more than expected it is now 18 and I do not think it would be possible for the New Zealand side to cover it up.

Edit: Another 5 wickets for Shami, he might become one the most successful bowlers for India before being warming the dugout bench

New Zealand started playing very well after losing 2 wickets in the first 10 overs but if they had continued their performance from the beginning of the game, they might have surpassed the target set by India and set a record in this World Cup. I think New Zealand can cross 350 runs if Daryl Mitchell is not out. Because he is helping New Zealand to cross 300 runs against a strong team like India. He scored 132 runs alone and is still playing. At the start of the game it was not believed that New Zealand would be able to cross 300 runs but they did it. So even if they don't win the match, it will give them a lot of joy

Whenever India needs wicket Mohammed Shami picks up the wicket and another 5 wickets in this worldcup, the innings from Daryl Mitchell was a consolation century for New Zealand fans and he alone cannot chase the total of 397 but he was able to put the fielders under pressure for a while and it was fun to watch when the entire stadium is silent  .

Ops the best batsman from new zealand Daryl Mitchell got out by Mohammed Shami. Mohammed Shami has been playing very well and has single-handedly taken five wickets for New Zealand. It was sure that India would win the match but everyone expected that since India set such a huge target, New Zealand would win by a margin of 200 runs. However, New Zealand recovered a lot and went on to lose the match by quite a few runs. Such a beautiful game of New Zealand really surprised the audience

Mohammad Sami played a vital role to give India victory in today's match. Just when all the bowlers were being easily run by the New Zealand batsmen, Mohammad Sami started to wreak havoc on the New Zealand batting line with his brilliant bowling. In the end, New Zealand's top-order played a leading role in giving India a crucial win by dismissing 5 batsmen.

New Zealand needed 85 runs in 18 balls. Its impossible to chase the 398 run target for New Zealand. India outstanding bowling performance especially Muhammad shami who picked 5 important wicktes by giving 50 runs in 9 overs. Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell played an impressive innings and scorea a good partnership but after wickets of kane Williamson match has ended for New Zealand. Darryl Mitchell played a outstanding innings scored 134 runs in 117 balls and kane Williamson is scored 69 runs in 73 balls. India have almost win this match beacuse New Zealand lost his 7 wicket in score of 313 runs in 47 overs.

This is one reason on the other hand I would say that New Zealand have completely abandoned the spin balls. This is where India stepped up and created a big gap in runs and balls. If they focused on single runs from the start, this margin would not have been created. Daryl Mitchell undoubtedly batted well. For that, the team managed to come a long way. But his strike rate was 112. Kane Williamson had 94 none but couldn't make the runs required by the big target. It is a big failure for them. Although the first 20 overs have a good average of runs and balls, but the gap increases with time. I would also say that fans had better expectations from captain Kane Williamson.

op You are right  today team India won because of Mohammad Sami. Md. Sami alone took 7 wickets. But the reason for New Zealand losing today's match is New Zealand's bowling. New Zealand's bowling was not that good in today's match. If the New Zealanders bowled a little better. Had they tried to keep India within 300 runs, today's match might have been won by New Zealand. The reason why New Zealand lost today's match I would say is because of their bad bowling they lost today's match. Congratulations to Team India for reaching the final with a 70-run win over New Zealand.

[Bureau]

A game of complete domination again shown by the Indian squad. They started with an absolute mesmerizing batting by everyone. They ended with one bowler dominating the entire outcome of the match. Shami did what none of us would have imagined.

Not only he got the first break, whereas he got wickets when India needed them. 7 wickets by him in the semifinals when all other bowlers were not even to get one wicket. One of the outstanding bowling we saw from a bowler who has busy heating the bench.

With this win India are in to the finals. After winning the semifinals and the way this team has performed till now. I don't think they can be defeated. A total of 10 game won with ease and the same might happen in the final.
