ICC Champions Trophy 2025

[bayimports]

Jamieson has the ball swinging and gets his first wicket

[bayimports]

2/22 in your best Benaud voice

[barky1]

Lots of chewing

[1kiwi]

What a catch!

Kohli gone!

[bayimports]

Phillips takes one of those screamers that he is capable of, hopefully this doesn’t mean he drops the next six.
30/3

[canefan]

Come on boys, let's smash these oinks. So if India make the final of Champions Trophy Pakistan 2025, the game won't even be played in Pakistan?

[bayimports]

Kane’s turn to pull off a stunner 223/7

[bayimports]

India with a credible recovery but NZ should be in the box seat here, tail to clean up

[bayimports]

Great final over from Henry India reach 249/9 after 50

[bayimports]

Good catches continue but feel Rachin threw his wicket away 17/1

[bayimports]

Pitch isn’t easy but NZ hanging in there at 144/4 after 35.
Loser of this match plays SA which coincidentally sounds better than winning and playing Australia

[bayimports]

Phillips hits a glorious six then gets out next ball, looking shaky 151/5

[bayimports]

89 from 72 needed 4 wickets remaining

[bayimports]

Kane finally goes, NZ in deep poo, 81 from 54 required

[bayimports]

Quick wickets fall and 1 wicket remains

[bayimports]

Looks impossible now

[bayimports]

Out for 205 we play SA next

Disappointing to lose, but I'm not disappointed to get SA rather than Oz.

SA look pretty tough, but if things go well for Oz their batting line-up can chase down anything. Maybe not vs the Indian spinners on their home pitch though!

Anyway, we can have a David semifinal and let the Goliath's slug it out - don't want to have to kill two Goliaths no matter how good our slingshot is!

Oz are always our bogey team

Even though this South African team looks stronger than this Australian team, I still think that Indian game was a good game to lose.
