I can not believe the Indians performance as a Indian Supporter against New Zealand. Only 179 runs (39.2) All wicket where India played with their most strong team. Really its so downfall by India. And This is the fantastic performance by the New Zealand Balling
I have been saying this for quite sometime. Historically, the Indian batsmen have fared poorly in England. And I don't think that this time it is going to be any different. The only batsman who is not going to get affected is Virat Kohli. But as we have seen in the past, Kohli will be helpless if the other players don't offer him any support in building the innings.
Virat Kohli alone may win one or two matches for India but he cannot win the cup for India all alone. The whole team needs to perform well in order to win this world cup. Newzealand is the team which is very well composed and yet no one is thinking about them that they can be the favorites for this world cup.
I agree. I honestly could not believe my eyes when I observed the entire Indian team collapse like a bunch of dominoes.
Jadeja was the only saving grace for the team while Pandya played a decent cameo. This clearly proves how different the T20 and ODI formats truly are.
However, it is unwise to judge the performance of a team just because of a single match(Specifically a warm up match). India lifted the World Cup twice when they lost their first warm up matches before.
Lets see how they fare in the upcoming matches.
+1
It will be foolish. It's a warm up match and this is the forst match here for this series after long time. Addition, Boult was bowling pretty awesome.
However, vs Bangladesh, they need to comeback, otherwise their journey will a bit salty. But, I solely want Bangladesh win the match.
