@Duluth said in CWC - Black Caps v India:
Starts in 3 hours
Day off tomorrow and only doing a basic bbq tonight so I’d better get on the bandwagon and actually watch…..I struggle a bit these days to care too much about the 50 over version of the game and am also a bit distracted with the other World Cup going on but looks like we have the cattle to do this if everything clicks.
As always the cricinfo profiles are a bit interesting…..apparently Devon Conway ( equal with Wags as my favourite ever South African kiwi ) is a “wicketkeeper batter”

From Cricinfo -
New Zealand have a stellar record against India in ICC events having lost just one game since 1992.Big picture: Here comes India's bogey team
Ask any ardent Indian fan which is their second-favourite cricket team, and New Zealand will remain a common answer. Ask the same set of fans which team spooks them the most when it comes to ICC events: New Zealand will once again be the unanimous reply. Why you ask.
Southampton 2021. Nagpur 2016 and Dubai 2021. Manchester 2019.
It's probably the memories of the last one here that has most Indian fans flinch. And as much as India would like to deny it, New Zealand have been their bogey team over the years. There are numbers to back this up. In all ICC events since 1992 (considering only the final from the WTC 2019-21 and 2021-23 cycles), India have beaten New Zealand just once in nine attempts.

Conway never looked comfortable with the ball moving. Gone for a duck

Conway gone for an 8 ball duck. 9/1

Hopefully Ravindra can stand up again today.

Indian bowlers using the conditions very well.

Young in all sorts. 19/2.
India all over us atm.

Mitch using his feet brilliantly. Just need this partnership to last a bit longer.

Excellent review. We get one to go our way. Toughest one’s when the umpire gives it out.
