NZ play India tonight. We are already in the semis so the only thing riding on the result of this game is who we play in the semi finals. Win we play South Africa, lose we play Australia.

I thin that's reversed now isn't it? Aus are behind SA - so winning gets you Australia?

Happy to be corrected - I'm assuming it's 1st in pool vs 2nd in other pool

That’s my understanding. Time to give the lower order batting practice higher up?

NZ bowling first and Henry has the first wicket.

India 15/1

Good wicket that one, kohli early would be nice

[bayimports]

Good early spell from both opening bowlers

[bayimports]

Jamieson has the ball swinging and gets his first wicket

[bayimports]

2/22 in your best Benaud voice

[barky1]

Lots of chewing

[1kiwi]

What a catch!

Kohli gone!

[bayimports]

Phillips takes one of those screamers that he is capable of, hopefully this doesn’t mean he drops the next six.
30/3

Come on boys, let's smash these oinks. So if India make the final of Champions Trophy Pakistan 2025, the game won't even be played in Pakistan?

[bayimports]

Kane’s turn to pull off a stunner 223/7

[bayimports]

India with a credible recovery but NZ should be in the box seat here, tail to clean up

[bayimports]

Great final over from Henry India reach 249/9 after 50

[bayimports]

Good catches continue but feel Rachin threw his wicket away 17/1

[bayimports]

Pitch isn’t easy but NZ hanging in there at 144/4 after 35.
Loser of this match plays SA which coincidentally sounds better than winning and playing Australia

[bayimports]

Phillips hits a glorious six then gets out next ball, looking shaky 151/5

[bayimports]

89 from 72 needed 4 wickets remaining

[bayimports]

Kane finally goes, NZ in deep poo, 81 from 54 required

[bayimports]

Quick wickets fall and 1 wicket remains

[bayimports]

Looks impossible now
