Cricket World : India take on Kiwis in the Finals of Champions Trophy ODI tournament today : 09 March 2025

Postby ptrikha21 » 09 Mar 2025, 07:37

One cannot separate Cricket from the Indian public.
On a high after winning last year's Twenty-20 (T20) World Cup in June, Indian team is again in the final of a major tournament.
Yet they face a formidable opponent.
Though not as world famous as the all Black Caps Rugby team, the Cricket team of New Zealand (Kiwis) can be a very very tough opponent in such International tournaments.
They have formidable - attacking and otherwise batsmen like Rachin Ravindra, Will Young, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell.
Allrounders like Bracewell and Mitchell Santner plus effective bowlers mean that one can never take Kiwis lightly.
Their one worry is a fitness worry for their pace bowler Matt Henry who has a great record vs India.

India has a big mix of deep batting lineup, hitters, consolidators, Spin and Seam bowlers and many allrounders.

So well it would be an interesting contest today.

South Asia and their love for Cricket. :lol:
I watched that group game where India smashed it with their spinners, and I’m leaning towards them winning today. Rohit Sharma seems cool under pressure, and I like how they’ve got all these spin options. New Zealand’s tricky, though—I’ve heard they’ve beaten India heaps in big matches. The pitch sounds like it’ll be slow, so maybe it’s whoever bowls better?

India needs 46 runs in 7 overs with 5 wickets remaining. A close contest is on.
India started greatly with 90 odd runs without a wicket but then the Kiwis fought well.
Keeping fingers crossed.

Such finals are moments of intense interest and even madness for most of the Indians.
Yet I do find it puzzling, especially in the past when we had news of fans committing suicide if their team lost a final or any other knockout match of a big tournament.
