ICC Champions Trophy 2025

Rachin brings up his 5th ICC tournament 100. Fantastic innings. Time to hit the hay. BCs in a great position and should post a massive total from here.

Ridiculous when they showed it compared to Astle etc.

Saffas to go on and win it from here.

Proteas on track for a 10 wicket win

[ACT Crusader]

The key for us is whether our 3 quicks will be able to vary their pace because this pitch looks to have no gremlins in for the quicks to work with.

[ACT Crusader]

Like Ravindra, Kane goes shortly after reaching the ton.

10 overs to go and we have 251 on the board. Would be great if we got to 330. Latham never fills me with great confidence in these situations.

Mitchell needs an innings.

[ACT Crusader]

Latham

[bayimports]

NZ lost their way a bit, someone needs to maintain momentum

[ACT Crusader]

GP and Mitch stepping it up now.

[ACT Crusader]

Damn. Mitch goes for 49.

[ACT Crusader]

GP playing a pearler

[ACT Crusader]

Bracewell gets one out of the middle of the line and goes for a 4 past the bowler.

Next ball gets it out of the middle and it’s caught.

One ball to go and SatNav comes out to face it.

[ACT Crusader]

GP started down the non-strikers in a sprinters stance. Gets a cheeky 2 off the final ball for SatNav.

Massive innings by the Blackcaps.

Saffas have the hitting though if we are a little loose with the ball.

[bayimports]

Might not be enough to win but should be very competitive this is a road of a pitch

Great innings regardless

Slower balls at the body will be key. Any width and it’s gone.

Hopefully one of our top three score big today to anchor the innings.

Got that wrong eh! Set your sights higher

It ended up being some sort of bizarro reverse jinx!

I like it. Well done.

Mods may need to lock the finals thread to avoid jinxing ...

No need. We have next to no chance in the final against a team who

1. Has played all their games at the same venue so know the conditions very well

2. Is basically playing at a home away from home considering the level of Indian expat support

3. Has had to do no travel, or adjustment to time zones (assuming Dubai is in a different time zone to Pakistan?)

4. Already beat us comfortably in our previous encounter
