India makes 229-8. I thought India was going to get all-out today, tail enders saved wicket well. Yesterday, Netherlands won with same total, so may be we still have chance.

They are playing with the same team. I was expecting Ashwin to be part of the team today but unfortunately they went with SKY. It is important that SKY bats today and bats well. Otherwise questions might start poping up about his batting in a 50 over format.

He made 49, good contribution from the pov of the way other batters (except Rohit) batted today. Indian team will have lot to reflect by next game, we'll probably see some significant changes in next.

I felt need of Hardik Pandya today, hopefully he'll be back in next.

Poor start by the Indian batters, quick wickets lost in the first few hours. I never expected Kohli to be so casual and hot an unnecessary shot. Rohit as usual played a captains knock but did not get the support from the other side. The target given by India to England is 230, not much according to World Cup standard. It won't be much of a difficulty by the England batters to chase such a small target.

Current Ranking


After yesterday's incredible win against England the Srilankan team has jumped to the 5th position on the ICC WC23 point table. Pakistan is now on the 6th position and if they lose today against the South African team they will go below Afghanistan. They will be out of the contention to reach the semifinals, which means Pakistan would be out of the World Cup.

I guess India will go on to play with the same playing 11 against England and Sri Lanka. I do not think the Indian team management would try anything different for now.

I'm reading on Twitter Ashwin will likely be playing vs England, low chances for Shami to be replaced as he performed exceptionally well in the last game, so I guess it'll be Surya who will bite the bullet, although I'd like if he stays, he hasn't been able to prove himself yet and in last game it was unfortunate run out.

When players like Klassen, Maxwell are destroying opponents in last overs, it'd better for India team if he can play good as he does in T20s and strengthen the lower middle order.

If Ashwin comes in then they have to replace him with a bowler not SKY, if Shami is irreplaceable then it will be time for Siraj to be rested.

Backing SKY at this point of the tournament is important because he could be the best possible person to be a finisher if Pandya can't able to continue further in this tournament.

Ashwin would be great addition to the existing team. He has the knack of getting wickets and does come handy as a batter in the lower order. If he comes back then the management would ask SKY to warm the bench. He has been given plenty opportunity in 50 overs format. He lacks those skill as in T20 you come and play a max of 5 overs. Within those overs a batters has to get as many runs as they can. In 50 overs you need to have patience and wait for the odd ball to hit a boundary. Both formats are different and that is why he might be struggling.

Bad News for India


According to media reports, Hardik Pandya has suffered a bad ankle sprain. He won't be able to play in the upcoming matches against England and Sri Lanka. The swelling on his ankle has gone, he has not started bowling yet and has been advised by the doctors to rest in the upcoming matches. I guess India will go on to play with the same playing 11 against England and Sri Lanka. I do not think the Indian team management would try anything different for now.

There is not a big difference in runs between the top two players on this table, hoping Kohli dethrones Quinton de Kock after the next Indian match against England.

The actual reason why our player can't be in number 1 position is due to the Indian bowlers who picked 50 wickets in 5 matches, so not enough runs on the board from opposition. Cheesy



After his sickness he looks a little bit distracted and off form. Till now he has not played the way he was playing before the World Cup started.

I feel that things are okay now from batting unit, Rohit could have been the top scorer if he decided to play like that but he clearly said he wanted to play good for the team so he starts of his innings with big shots from ball 1 but the 2019 Rohit would start slow and once he scores 50 odd runs then he will shift the attack and move on to big tons.



Hardik will miss out Match against England too and possibly even the match against SL considering his recovering situation, still the official report is yet to come from medical team.

For now it's okay but we definitely need him when the tournament progress especially at knockout stage because he is a bowler can bowl 10 overs and batsman can score 100 too. So what do you think about the probable XI? The same team or we can expect any changes.

snip..

What I find incredible on that list is the name of Rachin Ravindra. This is his first World Cup and he is already has his name on the top 5 highest run getters list. I was expecting one of our own player to be their like Shubhman Gill or KL Rahul. I understand that the order in which Rahul comes to bat it won't be possible for him to get centuries or play big innings. Gill can certainly get a century as an opener if he works on hitting the right ball to the right direction. After his sickness he looks a little bit distracted and off form. Till now he has not played the way he was playing before the World Cup started.

CURRENT HIGHEST RUN SCORER IN WC23!


A few days back when India had not played against Pakistan, Rizwan was the number-one batter. After 3 consecutive losses, he is now ranked fourth. After yesterday's massive win by South Africa, Quinton de Kock is ranking top on this table with an average of 81. While being in the second position Kohli has an amazing average of 118. There is not a big difference in runs between the top two players on this table, hoping Kohli dethrones Quinton de Kock after the next Indian match against England.

The legendary and one of the iconic spin bowlers took his last breath today at the age of 77.

Bishan Singh Bedi was one of the world's greatest Left arm bowlers in the world.

Here are some of his records which may likely to be never broken in future.

1. 1560 first-class wickets - most by an Indian player
2. Second best in Maiden overs in test format (4.2 maiden overs per wicket)
3. Most economical bowler in 60 over ODI format.

The legendary and one of the iconic spin bowlers took his last breath today at the age of 77. He was part of the team that got India it's first World Cup in 1983. His career spans from 1967 to 1979.

Our PM did come on X.com formerly known as Twitter, to share the loss of one of the legendary cricketers of Indian cricket.



Another legend has gone and I feel another legend would be born for Indian cricket.

Felt sorry for Virat Kohli when he got out for 95. If he had reached his century then he would had equalized Sachin Tendulkar. He did took India to the historical win but couldn't achieve his goal. Mohammad Shami sitting on the bench was a mistake I think on the part of India management. He proved that yesterday by taking another 5 wickets in the World Cup.  India remains undefeated after yesterday and hopefully they remain unbeaten in the upcoming matches.

Shami Got five wicket haul in his first match itself so I think this is enough why he should be played in the playing XI over Takur.
There is no debate about who the better bowler is, Shami would be a permanent fix if India had the luxury to pick the 3rd pacer and Shardul Thakur gives some stability to the tail and even in this match, if India losses one more wicket, the weak tail is exposed and New Zealand have a chance to turn things around.

Shami can bat tho and his world cup hauls are nothing sort of impressive. He's one of top 5 Indian wicket takers while playing less matches than his peers of different eras.

NEXT FOUR MATCHES FOR INDIAN TEAM


Out of the four games left in this tournament for the Indian team, I think only two are important. The match scheduled on 29th October against England is crucial as the English team needs a win in the tournament. The next match against South Africa is the most important as they are presently ranked 3rd on the point table. If India is able to beat these two teams then they will remain undefeated in the WC2023.

Do you guys think India will be able to remain an undefeated team after the 12th of November?

Yeah, I agree with you the long Indian tail can be an issue even if we need run a ball like 10 needed from 10 balls and with the last four batsmen then the match will go against us. So this means we are going to go with Takur? If they required an extra batter and who can bowl 5 overs, then Ashwin can do the same even better in Run rate column irrespective of pitch condition.

Let's celebrate the win today and rivalry against NZ over 20 years in ICC completed now from India.

Really disappointed when Virat got out, I felt that he should looked to hit boundary and take a single to complete his ton, but it didn't happen.

Jadeja's batting box also ticked with this match completion, and we really deserved the top spot now more than any other team.

As of now, its testing situation for the Indian middle order KL got out unfortunately from review and SKY run out due to miscommunication and extraordinary fielding from New Zealand hopefully Kohli and Jaddu will take this match closer to the target.
 
As long as Virat Kohli is in the crease, there is nothing to worry and all they do is to rotate the strike from this situation rather than looking for extra ordinary shots as they only need 34 runs to win from 46 balls.

Indians bowling attack again started extraordinarily against the best team which put the Conway under pressure and when he tried to hit he get caught at mid-wicket and Shami bowled a beauty in his first ever ball of this tournament and took Will young's wicket.

India is really in strong position now and without Kane Williamson then their middle order could be shaken down.

Shami could have got his second wicket if Jadeja could have taken the simple catch of Rachin. The spinners have stopped the flow of runs for now. They have brought the run rate below 5 again, we should expect another wicket anytime now. Indian bowling attack has been one of its plus point. They have been able to comeback everytime when the opponent batters have tried to increase the run flow.

Still 73 runs needed of 86 balls.
