India VS Netherlands

No changes in the team today against the Netherlands. India won the toss and choose to bat first. Both the opening pair are showing agressive batting. Shubhman Gill got his half century and Rohit will get his too. It is again becoming a one sided game as expected.

Edit: Gill out at 51 because of an incredible catch by the Duth fielder.

This game doesn't affect any of the playing team. Still the whole Indian team played without any changes. India batted very good as they crossed 400 runs today. Biggest contributor to the target for Netherlands was Shreyas Iyer and then K L Rahul. They batted so well that they each got a century today.

We all know that the Netherlands team won't be able to chase the target. It is again a one sided match as were all the other 8 that India played before getting into the semifinals.

I know it is next to impossible for Pakistan to reach the semifinals but the way they are bowling now does not look good. England has to win today if they want to qualify for the Champions trophy. Both openers are looking good and it seems Pakistan bowlers are struggling as runs continue to flow. BTW, ICC suspended Srilankan Cricket on Friday the 10th of this month due to excessive government interference. This was going to happen but it took some time as due to corruption and government interference Srilankan Cricket has already been destroyed.

Since India has not been defeated in a single game in the tournament league matches. Does anyone here think or have a notion that they might not be able to qualify for the Finals? Or anyone here have an intuition that they might lose for the first time in the Finals? The team that will be playing against the Indian team has not yet qualified. In my opinion, it will be either Pakistan or New Zealand and I have an intuition that it will be the Kiwis. What do you guys think?

I think it'll be kiwis too, however I want to see Pak, but for that they will have to win against England by huge margin, as I heard in commentary they must win by 273 runs if they were to defend the target (not sure about chasing) — which sounds like an impossible task.

Personally, I don't think NZ has chance against India, so probably we'll do fine in semis, but in finals we'll likely get Aussies. Although, India defeated them fine during start of wc and even in last game it was one man show and rest of batters failed, still I feel like Aussies could be trouble.

A day before yesterday Maxwell batted extraordinarily and single-handedly won the match for Australia against Afghanistan. Yesterday we saw Ben Stokes playing in the same fashion which helped the struggling English batting lineup score an unachievable target of 340 runs for the Dutch. This is why it is hard to judge any team in the game of cricket. This World Cup has been bad for those who followed the bookies in placing bets. There were a couple of big unexpected losses in the tournament and unexpected wins too.

Kohli is the legend! We thought that Sachin was a god of cricket. In 2023 he is a slowly becoming a legend who will become a pain in the ass of for upcoming legends.

On his 35th Birthday he broke a record of centuries by Sachin. Given more time as the legend said he will break all his records and would create new. None of the present playing lot will be able to break records by Kohli.

There are a few more recognition that won't hurt the Indian team. Considering the way the bowlers are doing, we might see a lot of new records coming up by the Indian bowlers. This team is making us as an India feel we are more into bowling than battt.

83 all out what kind of cricket is happening in the World Cup. I expected the South African to give some fight but they seem to be clueless against Indian bowlers. Ravindra Jadeja became the first Indian spinner to get 5 wickets in the World Cup. Another achievement by Sir Jadeja.

Rather than a batting power house India has now become a bowling power house. Every team in the World Cup now knows that Indian bowling attack is far more lethal than the batting attack.

The Indian team continues to remain unbeaten and this might be the first time that in a big tournament they are not getting an opponent worthy of defeating them. As expected Pakistan teams luck prevails and they are sure shot to get into the semifinals. That is what my intuition states, they would meet the Indian team and they might win against India.

I'd to love see India vs Pak in semis, the atmosphere will be even better than their group stage match. I don't care who wins, I want to see competitive match.

Special achievement by Virat Kohli on his Bday and at the post match presentation he said there is no comparison between him and Sachin and this is such an honor for him to be at this level.

Virat made his centuries in much lesser games than Sachin, he's better imo. But, then again Records are meant to be broken we'll see in future someone doing better, even tho right now it may seem to be impossible task.

it's fear or nervousness that makes one perform bad than one's abilities, as we saw yesterday Jansen performing bad with the ball in literal the start of inning. SA as whole needs to rectify this.

If that happens then again Australia would lift up the trophy. If Pakistan doesn't qualify then India will win the World Cup considering the amount of wins they have got in the league matches.

India seal their 1st spot in the table with this commanding win and the words are not going to enough for describing the performance of team India both with bat and ball.

At knockout games, anything can happen, so let's not bring Jinx to our team by over praising them. Cheesy

Today was King Kohli's birthday and celebrated his 49th ODI century in a different way. It would be an understatement to celebrate his birthday with just a 49th ODI century. King Virat Kohli has achieved the distinction of scoring the most century in one-day internationals in the cricket world with his 49th ODI century. It is a cricket record on one hand and an important achievement of Virat Kohli's personal career on the other hand. Congratulations to Virat Kohli on his birthday.

The man to watch out for today is Virat and today is his 35th Birthday, so let's wish all our blessings on him and hope he will match the record today. Wink

...and he makes it. Shreyas could have made his too but he got out trying to hit each ball. These two were slow in start of their innings but eventually recouped well.

I think some senior players might be rested today. KL Rahul is now the new vice captain, so he might be played as Captain today and Rohit and Virat can be rested. This is my assumption and I might be wrong.

Different perspective but I don't think no one want to be rested now because they are now in the glorious form so all of them just wants to continue their good winning combination. Don't forget this match is also important to secure the top spot of the table so if we end up there then we might get to play with slightly weaker team at the semi final.

^ and Pandya has been replaced with Prasidh Krishna, he'll probably stay on bench since India has enough bowlers. Ashwin might be proper replacement in playing 11 in place of Pandya as he can also bat.

As I said above who will be left out if R.Ashwin come in. They have to compromise kuldeep Yadav or Siraj if they really need to deepen the batting, but I don't think India will take that risk.

You are right, this is why I don't think we'll see any change in playing 11 today, but he could be added in place of Yadav if India wants some batting strength. I have no idea who is better spinner of two.

Also, Surya and Shreyas won't have to fight for position anymore Tongue

Yes, both SKY and Iyer would now be part of the playing 11. With Hardik out they have secured that position till the end of the World Cup. Without Hardik the team is doing well currently. I am expecting a few changes in the team today as both South Africa and India have already qualified for the semifinals. I think some senior players might be rested today. KL Rahul is now the new vice captain, so he might be played as Captain today and Rohit and Virat can be rested. This is my assumption and I might be wrong.

Bad news for India! Hardik Pandya is out of the World Cup due to his injury.

That is terrible news Cry

He is current world's best all-rounder in ODI format and even though team India is performing really well without his presence it can be a problem in knockout games because Indian batting unit has got long tail and if they want to replace him with Ashwin who can give us the batting depth then who is it going to be, cause 3 pacers- 2 spinners formula worked well for us.

Another big game early in the morning between Pakistan and Newzealand. Both teams need to win in order to stay in the World Cup. Newzealand are already on the fourth spot on the poin table if they lose they will lose their spot. Pakistan again in the same situation like they were in the T20 WC. They need to win all their games in order for them to get in the semis.

Saw the match between Afghanistan an the Netherlands. It surely made me realise as to how Afghanistan came up so good in the world cup. They were supposed to be at the bottom that is what everyone expected.

You guys might have seen them wearing AMUL logo on their jersey. They were wearing the same logo in 2019, it was the first time AMUL had sponsored them. Afghanistan ended up last in the 2019 point table. Still, AMUL never left them. If ypu can search Google they were the sponsor when Afghanistan played in the T20 world cup.

The point of my analysis is simple never leave your coins before you could fall for the greed. Every coin has something unique and if you have invested in it then remember it has something special as you are who made the choice. Never repent with your choice as you would always regret it.

These three are the best Indian bowlers that have been produced to date. Srilanka again lost against India and scored 55 runs because of these three guys. Mohammad Shami is again getting a fifer in three matches he has taken 14 wickets, if he continues in the same manner then he might be the most successful bowler and highest wicket-taker in the World Cup.

Kohli missed out on his 49th century again, he again got out playing a loose shot. Shubhman Gill gained his form back and would have scored his first century in the World Cup but an excellent ball by Madhushanka got him out. With another game and another win by team India, they remain undefeated in the tournament. They are now a team that would be hard to defeat in the World Cup, in a way they are now invincible.
