Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self

England was off to an excellent start, but then New Zealand came back to the game strongly with 4 quick wickets. England were 64/1, but now they are struggling at 125/4. And we know how the pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad behaves. Anything less than 300 is not going to be enough for the team that is batting first. Joe Root and Jos Buttler are at the crease right now, and they are trying to rebuild the innings. If they can get Poms to 200 by the 35th over without losing any further wickets, then there is a good chance that England may end up with a good total.

I think England didn't took them seriously and they bat like against a normal team but NewZeland is now well improved team with a chance of stronger contender of semifinalist and as a result England lose much more important wickets and look like they will be stuck below 300 will be not a difficult target to chase if they took a better start, as we have seen during warm-up matches all those teams won who chase so may be NewZeland does same but not predicting any team victory will be meaningless because anything can happens.
Any way buttler and root are on a create with a mindset to took the game deep and build some significant partnership which will really realse Pressure from them and they will easily scored a decent target. Now they scored around 100 partnership and still makeing it bigger let see who took such starting important game

New Zealand is bowling really well, it is not that England did not take them seriously. The bowlers have been a to break the partnership whenever their captain needed them. England batters are struggling because the New Zealand team has been good on the field and is bowling a perfect line. The projected score is still above 290 which can trouble the New Zealand batters. England does have a good pace and spin attack. If they are facing the heat now then the opponent would face the same heat. Sam Curran is on the pitch, he can hit the ball out of the ground. They only need a couple of good overs to come back into the game.

England's good start didn't end well, especially when Joe Root lost his wicket, England's hopes of a win ended. His short was not good at all especially in such a team situation. Sam Curran also could not take charge of the team. They set a target of 282 but should have given a target of 350 in this pitch. New Zealand on the other hand is trying and they have succeeded there. The team has already accumulated 122 runs with the loss of just one wicket so they are almost certain to win this match. Because in an event like the World Cup, everyone will try to hold their attention until the end. The excellent batting of Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra has already managed to take the team to a confident level. They are now surely reaching the port of victory.
