India continue to keep ticking the boxes. Only one team remains unbeaten now and that is India. That is it from that game. Pakistan will take on Afghanistan on the 23rd of this month at 2 pm IST (8.30 am GMT) and join us early for the build up. Cheers!
Rohit Sharma says it is a good start to the tournament but the job is half done. Adds they are not thinking too far away but still enjoy the moment. Mentions Mohammed Shami took the opportunity with both hands, he has experienced and made the most of it. Tells Daryl Mitchell and Rachin Ravindra were batting well but credit to his bowlers to pull things back in the end. Reckons he is enjoying his time with Gill, they compliment each other quite well. On Virat Kohli, there is nothing much to say, he has been doing it for so many years, he has a calm head and thankfully, Kohli and Jadeja did the job. Tells their fielding was not clinical but this thing happens and will build on it. Ends by thanking the crowd for the support.
Tom Latham says they played reasonably well but didn't capitalize in the end with the bat. With the ball, they failed to take wickets. Reckons they were 30-40 runs short. Tells Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell had a fantastic partnership to set up for the last 10, credit to the Indian bowlers though. Tells Rachin Ravindra is a very positive person. Shares Virat Kohli is proactive, he is incredible in the run chase and it is very hard to stop him. Mentions they will work on a few areas and come back stronger in the next game.
Mohammed Shami wins the PLAYER OF THE MATCH. He says it was important to keep confidence high despite playing after a while. Adds he was enjoying the team's success from the sidelines and was always supportive. Reckons they bowled really well as a unit and is happy to be on top of the table now.
...Presentation next...
For the chase, India as usual started in an aggressive way with the skipper leading from the front. Both, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill fell in quick succession. Shreyas Iyer didn't make the most of the start but it was the stand of Kohli and Rahul that made the big difference. However, the eyes were on the master of the chase. King Kohli who once again stepped up for his team to chase the target against a really quality bowling attack. Virat Kohli calculated the chase well and took the game down the wire. He was batting on 95, almost ready to celebrate his ton but unfortunately got out. From the team's perspective, he did the job and credit to Jadeja for playing that silent assasinate role.
The way Indian bowlers pulled back in the last 10 overs have made a lot of difference to the score. New Zealand were looking for 300 at one stage, with Daryl Mitchell playing the anchor role, he didn't get much help from the other end. Credit to the bowlers though, India were tidy, keeping it tight throughout. Mohammed Shami was the pick of the bowler with a five-fer. Their fielding was not so clinical but it was the bowlers who made a quick turnaround.
There remains only one unbeaten team in this year's World Cup and it is INDIA. They have beaten the most dominating side till now comprehensively. Also, India have taken revenge for their loss in the 2019 World Cup. India will be mighty pleased with this win.

OUT! LBW! THREE REDS! A huge appeal for LBW but the finger stays down. New Zealand review it.

At first it looked like height will save Rahul but that is hitting the stumps.A much needed breakthrough.
Drinks! Kohli and Rahul have build a solid stand for India now and if it continues the same way for 10 overs, it will be an easy win. For New Zealand, they need a couple of wickets to create some pressure. An interesting phase is coming up.
