Have you ever seen such a match where whole time you were wondering which team will win! Thanks to Gods grace that it was a tie!! Well, I for some reason never thought that India will lose but never imagined that ill be experiencing one of the best ODI ever. And in the end you wonder that India should have won or NZ should have crossed the line. But as I said in the end it was a fair result.
Match started on an usual note with NZ piling on runs, Williamson and Guptill scoring good infact 153 run partnership.. Then from 189/1 in 32.4 overs they went down to 289/8 and then as usual India leaked runs in the last 3 overs and helped NZ to score 314 courtesy Tim Southee. It was not thoroughly because India bowled badly but small grounds some clever batting did really good to restrict them to 314 actually.
Unlike first innings India did have everything different today. Rohit sharma was a hit in first 10 overs. They got a nice 60 odd opening partnership. Virat Kohli failed..:O Dhoni misjudged and lost his calm after hitting a six. Sir Ravinder Jadeja finally scored runs :D.. How nicely luck works.. I was telling my friend yesterday about luck and I myself got an example. Jadeja and Ashwin together got 5 lucky chances. Jadeja got 2 drops and 1 decision on his favor... But most important part is to accept that luck but you need to accept it..That's were Ashwin dint and Jadeja did.. Ashwin after hitting a six went for ambitious result lost is wicket to a great athletic catch. Jadeja on the other hand looked calm and composed and knew what he was doing. For example the last 2 balls leave for wide..was just so amazing and that showed how much composed he was.. Anyways inexperience had the last laugh he could not make India cross the line. All done and dusted now It was an incredible match which had all what can any cricket fan proud.
