ICC Champions Trophy 2025

[sparky]

India need 252 to win. That could have gone worse I guess, but it's unlikely to be enough to win.

Well 251 is still higher than the average batting first on this pitch. We still have a chance but spin needs to be prioritised and hopefully some early wickets

If any of our quicks go for more than 6 an over in their first two, then SatNav needs to drag them and bring on the spinners.

I know we picked 3 seamers. But maybe he needs to channel Martin Crowe and bowl spin right from the off... Overs from Satnav, Bracewell, Rachin, Phillips and Mitchell, and maybe even Kane

[KiwiMurph]

Time for spin

[ACT Crusader]

Not a great start for our two quicks. 11 rpo to start things off.

[ACT Crusader]

Argh Mitchell drops a catch. A tough one hander, but gettable.

[sparky]

India are making rapid progress in the chase.

[KiwiMurph]

Bowling Smith first change on this pitch to Sharma and Gill makes absolutely no sense.

[Sprinko]

@KiwiMurph Taking Smith and Chapman to the the tournament over Neesham continues to baffle me

[Bones]

Philips is becoming almost as valuable as Chris Harris.

[KiwiMurph]

Glenn Phillips stunning catch. Adds to his highlight reel.

[ACT Crusader]

Phillips takes a screamer

Time to turn one into two

Boom boom Bracewell!

[ACT Crusader]

Please be out

[ACT Crusader]

Should be no bat

[Bones]

India aren't very good at reviews eh.

[ACT Crusader]

Two to three

[sparky]

Two wickets. The start of an epic NZ fight back or a dead cat bounce?

[KiwiMurph]

Rav gets Sharma

[ACT Crusader]

That’s the ICC championship gone with that Jamison drop
