14. Over: New Zealand 81-3 (Latham 1, Mitchell 8) Mitchell provides some resistance with a sweep to the border from Axar.

Tim Reah writes in: “I can’t wait for the next ICC tournament in Australia … with NZ that insists they play all their games on the basin. How enough is this different from a home final for India? “

13. Over: New Zealand 77-3 (Latham 1, Mitchell 4) To indicate the obvious New Zealand needs a partnership here – the speed of it is not too important, especially after their quick start.

Wicket! Williamson C&B KoldePe 11 (India 75-3)

12. Over: New Zealand 75-2 (Williamson 11, Mitchell 3) Axar Patel is next up in India’s spin playlist, which quickly runs through his set to admit just a few.

11. Over: New Zealand 73-2 (Williamson 10, Mitchell 2) Daryl Mitchell goes off the brand by hiding the ball around the corner of the leg to one. Mitchell, you remember, hit two hundreds against India at the World Cup in 2023.

Wicket! Ravindra B KoldePe 37 (New Zealand 69-2)

10. Over: New Zealand 69-1 (Williamson 9, Ravindra 37) The remarkable chakravarthy continues. His fight with Williamson was to be fun; No. 3 Reads the operation nicely to pick up a leg single single. New Zealand will be pretty chuffet with that powerplay.

Wicket! Young Lbw Chakravarthy 15 (New Zealand 57-1)

7. Over: New Zealand 51-0 (Young 15, Ravindra 29) Shami looks more threatening to ravindra as he walks around the wicket and produces an LBW cries early in over. A touch too loud. And then a drop! Ravindra tries to play through the leg, but the ball ends up returning to Shami, who cannot hold on to his followers. Quickly some damage to his little finger is done and requires some short medical attention. Young finishes with a well -placed thump through the leg and brings New Zealand’s fifty up.

6. OVER: New Zealand 46-0 (Young 11, Ravindra 28) Rohit Sharma calls for Varun Chakravarthy, an admission of how well New Zealand has begun. Mystery Tweaker begins awkwardly, his first ball runs down the leg and all the way to the border. Ravindra gets the sweep out to collect a couple.

Tom Weldhen writes in: “It’s a travesty that BCCI controls the world’s cricket with such impunity and gets what it wants. Really feels for the Pakistani fans who appeared in large numbers for games that did not involve Pakistan. I’m sure everyone who’s not Indian in World Cricket hopes the Kiwis can do it and it would be hella fun if they do! “

5. Over: New Zealand 37-0 (Young 10, Ravindra 25) A stunner from Ravindra: He flips a ball on off stump through the midwick, along the rug, in four. Ravi Shastri and Nasser Hussain horror on comms. Mohammed Shami reacts well and walks around the wicket to find the outside edge … but the ball runs away to the border.

4. Over: New Zealand 26-0 (Young 8, Ravindra 16) Pandya, the key on this page, as the only bit of support for Shami, begins well until he falls on a short – Ravindra hits a staggering feature over deep midwick in six. A beautiful punch through point follows for four, the crowd silent. Another move in four more ends over. He is special, this child.

3. Over: New Zealand 10-0 (Young 7, Ravindra 2) Ravindra and Young can’t lace shami to the border, but they still run hard and take four from over.

“The only thing that is crueler than Henry who misses the final is Pakistan the host country who misses the final,” writes Nathan Green. “Oh wait it’s Farcical.”

2. Over: New Zealand 6-0 (Young 4, Ravindra 1) Hardik Pandya shares the new ball and begins with a leg-side wide to the shaped rachin ravindra. Four dots follow before Ravindra sneaks a single with a bunt into the tires.

1. Over: New Zealand 4-0 (Young 4, Ravindra 0) Shami begins with a delicious Outswinger to beat the young bat. India Quick is tight with its line … until the last ball on over. Young sees a certain width and cuts quietly behind the point of four.

India goes to the field, Rachin Ravindra and will young people follow. Mohammed Shami jumps in …

New Zealand chooses to beat first Can be explained by the difficulties they had chased against India at this place in the group. Interestingly, Black Caps first fought in their 2015, 2019 and 2021 World Cup final defeat. EEEK.
