I have to say New Zealand are playing very well under such pressure. After losing two wickets in the first 8 overs, I thought 200 would be their maximum. But with Mitchell and Williamson's good batting, New Zealand managed to make the match competitive.
New Zealand now need 153 runs from 72 balls. New Zealand's batsmen have to collect about 13 runs per over. It is much more difficult to collect 13 runs in an over against experienced bowlers. Now Indian bowler's bowling is very controlled. Indian fielders missed a lot of fielding in this match. I have not seen such bad fielding from Indian fielders in any other match of this World Cup.
The dropping of Williamson's wicket was a bad gap for the team if he had stood for some more time the scenario would have been changed now but I think dropping off its wicket is good for the team now because he missing a lot of balls. He scored 69 runs on 73 balls. He is a captain and we expect a century from him I'm these 73 balls but let's see if Phillip will regain the deficiency williamsons, the Mitchills doing great did 122 runs on 111 balls and still stands hope he will do some more runs and leading towards 180 plus. Now the score is 291 with the loss of 4 wickets in 42 overs remaining 8 overs and I don't think they will do this.
This is one reason on the other hand I would say that New Zealand have completely abandoned the spin balls. This is where India stepped up and created a big gap in runs and balls. If they focused on single runs from the start, this margin would not have been created. Daryl Mitchell undoubtedly batted well. For that, the team managed to come a long way. But his strike rate was 112. Kane Williamson had 94 none but couldn't make the runs required by the big target. It is a big failure for them. Although the first 20 overs have a good average of runs and balls, but the gap increases with time. I would also say that fans had better expectations from captain Kane Williamson.
