T20 World Cup

[summerisle]

Not looking good for New Zealand here : India 203-1, 15 overs.

 

[summerisle]

Three wickets in an over, that'll help, India 205-4, 16.1 overs.

 

[Walken]

Its no longer looking insurmountable, but it will still be a mighty big chase

They've done exceedingly well to pull it back, in with a chance now.

 

[summerisle]

A formidable target set by India, expensive last over unfortunately, 255-5. New Zealand will have to bat very well to win this.

 

[Wizard]

Hopefully New Zealand can just go that little bit further in their chase than we did

 

[Milk]

Brutal for 15 overs then fell away somewhat

T20 is no longer a balance between bat & ball though. Might as well set up a bowling machine and give batsmen 5lbs carbon fibre cannons

 

[Wizard]

Great catch by Kishan. What was already going to be extremely difficult looks pretty much impossible now.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Be lucky to use the full 20 here

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Imagine doing that v Pakistan

 

[Walken]

Haven't really made a fist of it today NZ, decent tournament for them still but the final was a bit of a blowout

You've got to get early wickets against India's top order, something both New Zealand and England (should have) failed to do. Perhaps in retrospect New Zealand should have batted first.

 

[summerisle]

India win by 96 runs, dominant throughout tbf. Handy to have a bowler like Bumrah in your side, 4-15.

 

[msb]

Shame for NZ, they are a really decent team with great sporting ethics.

Can’t help thinking that England should have beaten India though, just one dropped catch!

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Took out a game changing spinner for a run of the middle medium quick. Baffling.
