ICC Champions Trophy 2025

And another! A lifetime wellington rugby, blackcaps and occasional wahs fan and I still haven't learnt not to get my hopes up.

[sparky]

@Bones Yes. It's the hope that kills ya. Every time.

[sparky]

Satnav's done a grand job here of applying the breaks.

[sparky]

Seven overs left. India need 46 runs to win. Game on!

[sparky]

Can the NZ seamers do anything apart from going for lots of runs?

[sparky]

Half volley, smashed for 4 and the Indian fans in the crowd are noisy again.

[sparky]

Horrible over for New Zealand.

[sparky]

26 needed from 29. Advantage with India now.

251 was 25-35 runs too short.

[sparky]

21 needed from 24 balls. I think India are going to do this with an over or two to spare.

That Jamieson drop feels very big now.

Like the last time we played a final in Dubai

[Bones]

The fuck Latham. And how was it wide when it was well inside the line with the batsman backing away?

Nah, sliding doors.

[sparky]

India are a steely, ruthless 50-over side to be fair.

Except all the times that they’re not.

Jesus Christ Latham

[sparky]

A wicket! Pandya out for 18.

11 needed from 15.

[sparky]

4 wickets now would be epic.

[ACT Crusader]

Is there one more twist?

[ACT Crusader]

Jamieson cramped up Hardik, needs to do the same for these last 2 deliveries.

[sparky]

@ACT-Crusader 9 needed off 14. It would be one hell of a twist if India lost from here.
