I hope it is not foreshadowing what to comes next :grin:
Should be comfortable isn't it?
I don't know man, Bhuvi, Bumrah and Yuzi all are in red hot form with the ball. But the others, I am not sure.

Won't mind a team like yours to tip us into the finals. Better NZ than anyone else.

But really don't want another chokers tag on us to be honest.
 
How is it nail-biting if just one innings is posted. :cry:

Not an easy pitch to bat for newly
arrived batsmen and
India is taking full advantage of it.
The target is still very achievable.

NZ need 19 runs in 24 balls
(Required run rate = 4.75)

Code:
46.1  Kumar to Latham, OUT, Jasprit Bumrah takes an easy catch to dismiss Tom Latham

Amazing death bowling from India.
All of a sudden NZ are completely
on the backfoot.

All eyes on Jimmy Neesham to deliver.

Is this the final nail in the coffin?
Neesham misses the slog sweep
and loses his wicket.

Rahul Chahar will be pleased with his performance.

Trent Boult and Lockie Ferguson.
Big ask from the pacers to hit 14 runs

Kane-Williamson-Martin-Guptill.jpg

Consecutive Champions Trophy finals for team India.

New Zealand were ahead for most
of the innings but India pulled things back towards
the end as NZ collapse dramatically.

Rahul Chahar emulated Ish Sodhi and ended
up bettering the bowler. Came back
much stronger from the previous game.

Martin Guptill (87) and Kane Williamson (80)
had the Indian players on the edge of their seats.
A hundred run partnership preceding a
70 run opening stand would have been a sure
shot win for most teams.

Instead, the Indian side brought their A-game
and bowled quality to win this game from
the jaws of defeat.


Code:
INDIA                255       47.4 overs
NEW ZEALAND          246/8     50.0 overs
 
India won by 9 runs
 
Man of the match: Rahul Chahar

@mohsin7827 / @NILAYSHAH60 ; @Parth D
 
That's New Zealand in knockouts in a nutshell.
That was horrible collapse after a good and steady start.
Nevertheless have plays to their nature.
Did well in the tournament.

All the best @Parth D /India for the finals.
I guess Southee for Ferguson could've made a little difference but anyways India was a better team and deserved to win.

pace of Cam Green.

Another day. Another good knock from
Rassie van der Dussen. Aiden Markram also
hit a fifty, batting at no.6

Just 49 runs scored by SA in the final 10 overs.
Miller getting out early didn't help the matter.

South African top-order played cautiously,
none of them had a SR above 75. Luckily,
Rassie and Markram played well and picked
their targets nicely.

Hazlewood continued to be the main bowler,
not giving any easy runs. Starc made up for his
poor start towards the end. Cummins and Zampa
were taken for runs. But other than Cameron Green,
no one really had a bad day.

Australian openers are in red-hot form and
SA need to take early wickets if they have
to defend this total.

Target for AUS: 298 runs (Req. RPO = 5.96)


To Be Continued...

@ahmedleo414 ; @Neptune
 
I'll take that, but we could easily have gotten 30 or 40 runs without the run outs. Dussen and Miller have been our best batsmen, so losing them to run outs wasn't great
Glad I brought in Markram. Without him we might have ended with much lesser

South Africa continue their tradition
of choking in knockout games.

After a fiery opening spell from Anrich Nortje,
Steve Smith took on the responsibility
to rebuild the innings.

He was involved in two 50-run partnerships
with first Carey and then Labuschagne.
Spinners brought SA back into the game
as Maharaj dismissed the big gun while
Shamsi picked the other two players.

With Labuschagne's dismissal, it looked
like saffas have done enough but
Stoinis and Green had other plans.

@ahmedleo414 now has a chance to take
the revenge of GLAC 2021 final as he will be facing
@Parth D's India for one-last battle.

Code:
SOUTH AFRICA         297/7     50.0 overs
AUSTRALIA            298/5     47.3 overs
 
Australia won by 5 wickets
 
Man of the match: Cameron Green

@ahmedleo414 ; @Neptune
 
upload_2017-5-4_2-19-52-png.187352


Final:
:ind: IND vs :aus: AUS at Eden Gardens
@Parth D ; @ahmedleo414


Lineup rules:
  • Wicket-keeper :wk: is a must.
  • Captain :c: cannot be dropped.
  • Must have six bowling options :bwl:/:ar: (otherwise the sim will randomly pick a player to bowl)
  • Your sixth bowler can be a batsman but they will only bowl one or two overs (if the inning lasts 50 overs).

Stats can be found at post #5.



Thanks for participating @Neptune @mohsin7827 @NILAYSHAH60
 
Thats rough, the team was clicking well and we had our best 11 on the field. One more wicket and the result could have changed
Good luck to the finalists, exciting match ahead
