Why is everyone questioning the authenticity of the match being played between India and New Zealand? It all started with British media which called BCCI as opportunistic and blamed them for pitch conspiracy until ICC intervened in this issue. They were followed by Australia and then came in Pakistan. Pakistani experts came up with the toss theory and blah blah..
They are trying to disgrace India by showing BCCI as a biased board throughout the cricket fraternity. Why don't they look into what they did in the previous World Cup held in England? I agree that initially, things were not that great but gradually it now looks like the Indian team has been playing in their fullest form. Thanks to Hardik Pandya the team is well balanced and has the potential to win the Cup.
Every time India plays well these ex-cricketers and their boards come up with conspiracy theories. This time the Pakistani ex-cricketers went to the extent of shaming Aishwarya Rai and Neena Gupta for no reason. Such hatred about India and its people is now coming out from our neighbor located on the western side.

The Finals!
It looks like BCCI wants the ending to be good! They started without any ceremony, making a joke of themselves for making the India against Pakistan match more important than the first match of the World Cup. After the big backlash both from within India and from other countries participating in the Cup, they now have a grand finale. I was reading a few social media posts where they claimed Dua Lipa was supposed to perform but the itinerary does not have her name.

He was on the bench for the initial games in the World Cup. Due to Hardik Pandya's injury he got the chance to be part of the squad. After that he hasn't looked back. The only match where was wicketless was against the Netherlands. The rise of Shami in the World Cup would be remembered by every Indian fans who are witnessing one of India's finest bowler.
I actually enjoyed every bit of his bowling yesterday. Earlier I used to watch India bat through the 50 overs. This time I am more interested in Indian bowling than batting. Indian into the finals a dream come true once again.
We will face the Australians in the final and we might be able to get them this time. This is my feeling after watching India bat so well and bowl excellently. I would say in this team fortunately everyone is in his peak form. If you do not agree then as an example look at KL Rahul's wicket keepering. I somehow feel he now has wings to fly and decide whether to take a DRS chance.
As the second semifinal continues and looking at the present situation I feel Australia would be in the finals. Another setback for India as Australia, when they come back is not so easy to defeat. It is in history and I feel it will be destroyed in this World Cup.

India gave total of 397 for NZ to chase. Although, NZ came close to chasing similar huge total against Aussies, here it will be difficult for them considering Indian attack.
One-liner reply, I expected some more from you as a veteran in the forum. Then again I am no one to say as I got tagged because of no reason. So, let's take it that way someone using your address.

Lol, I use Reddit, I make 1 word reply. Here you have problem because we have signatures?

What?

BTW, the game is now being controlled by the New Zealand team. These two guys are batting very effectively and if they continue they might win the game against India. It would be an astounding win against a team that has not lost any game in this tournament.

No need to derail guys, please stay on topic.
Mitchel and Kane partnership brought nightmare for the whole India for a while but again thanks to the man with golden arm who dismissed Kane quickly after he dropped his catch.
Now India through for the final and who they are going to meet there? SA will be much easier side to beat compared to Australia.

Rohit won't allow the bowlers to settle as that is what he has been doing in the last 9 matches. Shubman Gill was quite aggressive against the Netherlands in the last match and I hope he plays in the same manner today. A target of 300 or more runs will be defendable considering the form in which the Indian bowlers are bowling in this tournament.
As always, Rohit of to a flying start and took control of the powerplay overs and dominated entirely but unfortunately got out at for a slower ball but its okay cause he done the damage now players can take their time and took the match deep. Gill is now settled as well and he is due for a big ton in this world cup so today might be that day.Rohit has been doing a similar kind of batting in the last 10 games including today. Now, Gill has taken up the job already he is batting on 75 and I feel he will get his century today. Kohli doing what he does best keeps rotating the strike and getting the odd boundaries until he reaches his half-century. The next two in the lineup are in pretty good form and I expect they would easily go beyond 350 runs. If they can they would not face any issue in defending today's target.
They are now trying to finish off Santer's overs with ones or two and attack the other bowler to increase the run rate.

After 45 matches today played in this Word Cup, India will be playing against New Zealand in the first semifinals. India won the title and decided to bat first, the first 20 overs were crucial. Expecting some big fireworks from both the openers, Rohit won't allow the bowlers to settle as that is what he has been doing in the last 9 matches. Shubman Gill was quite aggressive against the Netherlands in the last match and I hope he plays in the same manner today.

Even though India is exceptional and far ahead in comparing the performances and team as well but we can't take them lightly and players knew it too and 2019 incident left a permanent scar on us.
Some interesting facts:
1. Richard Kettleborough is not assigned as an umpire for this match.
2. NZ only won 4 out of 20 Knockout appearances in ICC events.
3. Shreyas has become highest run scorer in WC at no.4 position surpassing Sachin.

Australia vs India in finals.
The world is not ready for another Pen Chor vs Cunts. 2003 final was more than enough for one lifetime lol 
^^ Tomorrow India will be playing against the New Zealand team in the first semifinals. I have crossed my fingers and I hope India wins the game comfortably. Looking at the Indian team performance in the last 9 matches they according to my knowledge have been exceptional. Every player is playing to win the game and they are playing as a team.
The seniors have been so far played above average. Rohit and Kohli have batted not for themselves but for the team. Bhumrah and Shami have proven that they are the best bowling attack. Last match Shami was not that effective though. Jadeja and Kuldeep have provided the crucial wickets when India needed the most.
This team has doen everything well till now and as per my understanding they deserve to win the cup. My opinion is that India will be playing against South Africa in the finals.

^ I think we'll see Australia vs India in finals. Australia is better all around team compared to SA and they don't depend on batting first to win their games.
Sensible batting of Cummins in their match against AFG got my hopes up. They have become very good in fielding apparently as well, there is huge difference in their first two and later games.

Which two teams will play the Finals?
The current scenario is shown above. There are four teams left and each of them have proven they are the best of the rest. Considering the present games that will be played in semifinals, which two teams according to you would be playing the finals?
I think India and South Africa would be in the finals. Do you think the same or you believe a different teams would be playing against each other in the finals.

India is on the 9* unbeaten winning run and the only team that did before was Australia twice 11* in 2003 and 2007.
And this is how India won their matches and when we look at the result column its pretty much safe to say that they shattered every oppositions whether its batting first or while chasing. India's batting and bowling is in top form and we can look that everyone in the top 5 is in the top 15/20 run scorers of this tournament.
Indian bowling unit is the actual reason why team look more deadly than before because Indian bowling unit took 88 wickets and only team that hasn't been bowled out is AFG.

India has outperformed every Indian fan's expectations in this World Cup. Yesterday might be the first time when all the top batter got their half-century and two of them got their century. KL Rahul got his century in just 62 balls and I think he created some record for getting a fast 100 in the World Cup. What made me laugh my lungs out was when I saw Kohli bowling again and this time getting a wicket.
As a fan, I have the confidence that this team will bring the cup home in 2023. Looking at the batting approach of Rohit Sharma I am confident that he will get back into the T20 squad. Next year we will have the T20 World Cup and this time he might get another chance to captain the team if India wins this year.
