Surely the lowest score in 25 overs by a big team in this WC? 80 odd in 25 overs is way too slow, they should at least try to get a few singles. It’s going to be harder as the innings goes on

NZ would have to bat exceptional well in remaining overs to make a game out of this or bowl exceptionally well or hope rain somehow helps them out.

India still need to find 6 overs of Pandya from Kohli, Rohit, and maybe Dhoni. NZ will capitalize on that.
Looking at the way the Ball is turning, wouldn’t mind a part time spinner bowling but Rohit hasn’t bowled in years

No idea why Kohli and Sharma stopped bowling all together. Likes of Sehwag and Sachin bowled as part timers way deep into their career.

How did NZ go from all out attack no nonsense cricket in one WC to this scaredy cat approach in the next? Baz must be turning in his grave.

Used to think 100 from 20 overs was a bit slow.
but from nearly 30 overs is quite something.

Just watching it and thinking that's such good game awareness from Fleming to collect, turn around and roll it over to Gilchrist - given the pressure of that situation

Yeah if Donald has ran from the start he would have made it since Waugh threw at the wrong end as well.

Poor spell by Chahal in the end. Last 2 overs undid the work of first 5. Time to bring back Bumrah

Embarrassing to lift the bat for such a pathetic fifty.
50 off 79 balls is fine if they go at 7/8 an over from here.

You should have watched enough Cricket to know that. Stupid statement.

Cannot give anything to Bumrah/Bhuvi. If Pandya breaks down, you cant get the part timers in the last 10.
He has already bowled 7, will defo bowl one more. It's fine if Kohli has to bowl 2 somewhere or the other.

Give Bumrah 2 now and save 4 for the end. Bhuvi a couple too and 3 for the end.
