Shreyas Iyer Fifty, Varun Chakravarthy Fifer Help India Beat NZ by 44 Runs; Australia Await In Semifinals

Published by Webster

Shreyas Iyer’s pressure-defying fifty and Varun Chakravarthy’s spin masterclass helped India script a 44-run win over New Zealand in Dubai on Sunday to top Group A, setting up the semifinal against Australia in the Champions Trophy. Iyer made a composed 79 off 98 balls under pressure but New Zealand, led by pacer Mark Henry (5/42), managed to stifle India to an under-par 249 for nine. Chasing 250 was not a tall order for New Zealand’s capable batting unit but they struggled against India’s spin quartet led by Chakravarthy (5/42) to be all out for 205 in 45.3 overs. Kane Williamson’s gritty 81 went in vain. India will face Australia, who finished second in Group B, in the first semifinal in Dubai on Tuesday while the Kiwis play South Africa in the other semifinal in Lahore on Wednesday. As they have been doing throughout this tournament, the Indian spinners placed efficiency ahead of wizardry, and bowled in a manner suited to the conditions. Ravindra Jadeja found massive turn off the pitch but the New …

India’s Likely Playing XI vs New Zealand, Champions Trophy: Two Big Changes To Be Made?

India’s Likely Playing XI vs New Zealand, Champions Trophy: Two Big Changes To Be Made?

Published by Webster

The Indian cricket team gears up for its final Group A showdown in the ICC Champions Trophy on Sunday against New Zealand. India have done brilliantly against the Kiwis, winning all of their last 5 matches against the opponents in the ODI format. With both teams’ progression to the Champions Trophy semi-finals already sealed, rest could be given to a few players. For the New Zealand contest, India skipper Rohit Sharma is expected to make a couple of changes, paving the way for bench players to showcase their credentials. Worries around Rohit Sharma’s fitness have faded away after the skipper batted for an extended nets session on Friday. He is likely to open alongside an in-form Shubman Gill, with Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer following them in the middle-order. KL Rahul is likely to pip Rishabh Pant for the wicket-keeper’s spot again. Pant could’ve been given an opportunity behind the stumps but seeing Rahul in the pre-match press conference, that switch can be ruled out. Hardik Pandya remains the only pace-bowling all-rounder in …

“We Never Know When…”: India Assistant Coach Ryan Ten Doeschate On Preferring KL Rahul Over Rishabh Pant

Published by Webster

India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has acknowledged that it’s been really hard for ace wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant to be watching the ongoing Champions Trophy matches from the sidelines but “that’s the nature of sport at this level”. Pant has not been a part of the playing XI in the last two group games, with India handing over the wicket-keeping duties to KL Rahul, who has performed remarkably well behind the stumps and provided solidity to the middle order. “It’s been very hard on Rishabh not playing. But that’s the nature of sport at this level, Doeschate told reporters on Friday, when asked if having two quality keepers has been a good dilemma. “KL has been good. He didn’t get many chances… we’ve got to keep Rishabh up and running. We never know when we’re going to need him. But certainly to have two wicket-keepers of that calibre is a nice thing to have.” Doeschate admitted that Sunday’s match against New Zealand could be a contest of spin between the two sides. “…they …
