India and New Zealand face off at Dharamshala ground. Both camps are undefeated in the current World Cup. Today, both camps are facing each other with the goal of maintaining a ‘perfect record’. In the World Cup of 2019, India’s dream was broken by losing in the semi-final against New Zealand. Rohit Sharma’s team will want to shake off that memory and write a new chapter of success today. On the other hand, the Kiwis have not lost against India in the last 20 years in ICC events. That statistic will surely give confidence to Trent Boult and Tom Latham. In today’s important match, the coin of the toss fell in favor of India. Captain Rohit Sharma decided to bowl first. Hardik Pandya got injured against Bangladesh. Shardul Thakur dropped from the XI today. Suryakumar Yadav and Mohammed Shami have been given a chance instead.
Team India got off to a good start with Devon Conway and Will Young back. But Rochin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell stood up with the bat. Rachin Ravindra had earlier scored a hundred against England. Today against India also came from his bat an excellent innings of 75 runs. The performance of this youngster of Indian origin impressed the social media. He got the title of ‘Tomorrow Superstar’. However, ‘Indian’ Rachin’s poor batting against India has also disappointed a few fans. Daryl Mitchell took the reins of the Kiwi batting at number four today. He scored his fifth century in his ODI career. His innings of 130 runs off 127 balls took the Kiwis’ score to 273. “The resistance that Mitchell built today is Cornish,” wrote one netizen.
Mohammad Shami did not get a chance in the first four matches of the World Cup 2023. He is India’s most successful bowler today after returning to the first eleven. Took 5 wickets for 54 runs. He has 36 wickets in the World Cup with this. “It is a crime to keep Shami out on the big stage,” said a netizen to coach Rahul Dravid. “After that, Shardul should not come to the third limit of the XI,” commented another person. Kuldeep Yadav could not find rhythm in the first few overs. But as the game progressed, he increased the pressure on the opponent. Great comeback Kuldeep. Go ahead’ cheered netizens. Praise is also for Jasprit Bumrah. Handling new balls under artificial light can be a challenge, especially in the cold climate of the hospice. Remembering that, the prayers of the supporters on the net media, “Let the curse of 20 years pass now.”
Shami with a fantastic five-for! Shardul can now plan his Dussehra festivities in Mumbai with pride. 🏏📷#ShamiMagic #CricketFeast #DussehraCelebrations #INDvsNZ #CWC23
