Virat Kohli, the skipper of India, says that it feels quite bizarre and they were not brave enough both with the bat and ball which hurted them in the end. Tells that New Zealand came out with intent with the ball and their batters did not manage to start well. Adds that you have to be optimistic in this format and back yourselves, take pride in playing well for your country. Signs off by saying that there is still lots to play for and they will look to put on a good show. I am usually big on pre-match prep, with this bubble life we haven’t been able to see the ground until the day we come to the ground. The wicket here was one we had to adapt to pretty quickly.

Following India’s loss to Pakistan, they were faced with a must-win situation against their other four remaining opponents.
Just by sending Rahul to open alongside Kishan, you are disturbing your set top-order with Kohli pushed to No. 4. Not just the batting order, the shot selection by the Indian batsmen also was poor. You may blame it on the slowness of the pitch, but the Indian batsmen have spent enough time and played enough cricket, especially in Dubai in the recent past, to judge the pitch early and play accordingly.
New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson and Devon Conway ensured their team scaled the target of 111 runs in 14.3 overs in the Super 12 game vs India in the ongoing T20 World Cup in Dubai. Daryl Mitchell scored a brilliant knock of 49 runs off 35 balls after Jasprit Bumrah removed Martin Guptill early in their innings. Batting first, India failed to start well as New Zealand put on an inspired bowling performance. India were jolted early on with regular wickets as they finished the powerplay at 35/2.
New Zealand spinner Ish Sodhi, who picked two wickets against India, said the wicket was slower than the England-Australia game and the ball turned when you try to bowl a touch slow. New Zealand starred with the ball as India was restricted to 110/7 in the Group 2 match of Super 12 stage of the ongoing ICC men’s T20 World Cup. In 2009, angry Indian fans burnt effigies of former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni after the team failed to defend the title in the T20 World Cup in England. And when India lost the T20 final in 2014 against Sri Lanka, disappointed fans pelted stones at all-rounder Yuvraj Singh’s house. Do not forget to tune in to SportsKeeda for T20 World Cup live score.
For each tournament, FIFA decides the number of places awarded to each of the continental zones beforehand, generally based on the relative strength of the confederations’ teams. The FIFA Confederations Cup was a tournament held one year before the World Cup at the World Cup host nation as a dress rehearsal for the upcoming World Cup. It is contested by the winners of each of the six FIFA confederation championships, along with the FIFA World Cup champion and the host country. The first edition took place in 1992 and the last edition was played in 2017. In March 2019, FIFA confirmed that the tournament would no longer be active owing to an expansion of the FIFA Club World Cup in 2021.
The cumulative viewership of all matches of the 2006 World Cup was estimated to be 26.29 billion with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the final match, a ninth of the entire population of the planet. There’s always planning going into the game, but this was a great performance against a side that puts up a fight. The surface wasn’t easy to find rhythm on, and the way the openers came out really set things up for the chase. It’s just about adapting to the conditions as well as we can. The way the spinners kept applying pressure was commendable and it was a complete performance.
Given Afghanistan’s potent spin attack, decent batting, and most importantly, their penchant for standing up to the bigger teams, they will be India’s bet against the New Zealanders. Their campaign taking another hit with a second successive defeat, India will need to win all their remaining matches while hoping that other results go their way to keep their semifinal prospects alive in the T20 World Cup.
