It’s a crucial match for both India and NZ as Pakistan are on the verge of qualifying for the semis with three wins in three. KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav have a lot of responsibility on their shoulders and they need to make sure that the entire burden is not on Kohli. India have their man, but it’s already too late with the Kiwis within sniffing distance of victory. What a measured innings Mitchell has played, starting brashly, but then ensuring that New Zealand breezed their way to the target.
Lipton invited West Auckland, an amateur side from County Durham, to represent England instead. West Auckland won the tournament and returned in 1911 to successfully defend their title. The 21 World Cup tournaments have been won by eight national teams. Brazil have won five times, and they are the only team to have played in every tournament. The other World Cup winners are Germany and Italy, with four titles each; Argentina, France, and inaugural winner Uruguay, with two titles each; and England and Spain, with one title each. Daryl Mitchell made a breezy 49 and captain Kane Williamson remained not out on 33 as the Black Caps cruised to their first win of the tournament with 33 balls to spare.
Further says that Southee getting that late wicket in the Powerplay helped them. Informs that they had a tough loss against Pakistan. Ends by saying that they wanted to do their best in this game. Daryl Mitchell misses his maiden T20I fifty as he hits it straight to KL Rahul at long-on. Brilliant knock from Mitchell though, 49 off 35 balls with the help of three sixes and 4 fours, as he takes the game away from India. India’s superstar cricketers were pummelled on a second-straight Sunday as a disciplined New Zealand firmly pushed them towards the exit door with an easy eight-wicket victory in the ICC T20 World Cup.
Adam Milne gave away 15 runs in the first over, but conceded 15 from the next 3 and also picked up a wicket. Short and wide, Williamson rocks back, opens the face of the bat and guides it past short third. Mitchell backs away a little, clears the front leg and hammers the ball past a wide mid-off. Too short this time as Kane Williamson sways away from it. Kane Williamson shimmies down the track and lofts it towards long off for a boundary.
1 Considered a successor team by FIFA, or have competed under another name. An All-Star Team consisting of the best players of the tournament has also been announced for each tournament since 1998. There was no third place match in 1930; the two losing semi-finalists are ranked according to their overall records in the tournament. Since the 1958 FIFA World Cup, to avoid future boycotts or controversy, FIFA began a pattern of alternating the hosts between the Americas and Europe, which continued until the 1998 FIFA World Cup. The 2002 FIFA World Cup, hosted jointly by South Korea and Japan, was the first one held in Asia, and the first tournament with multiple hosts. South Africa became the first African nation to host the World Cup in 2010.
New Zealand spinner Ish Sodhi, who picked two wickets against India, said the wicket was slower than the England-Australia game and the ball turned when you try to bowl a touch slow. New Zealand starred with the ball as India was restricted to 110/7 in the Group 2 match of Super 12 stage of the ongoing ICC men’s T20 World Cup. In 2009, angry Indian fans burnt effigies of former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni after the team failed to defend the title in the T20 World Cup in England. And when India lost the T20 final in 2014 against Sri Lanka, disappointed fans pelted stones at all-rounder Yuvraj Singh’s house. Do not forget to tune in to SportsKeeda for T20 World Cup live score.
From the 1938 World Cup onwards, host nations receive automatic qualification to the final tournament. This right was also granted to the defending champions between 1938 and 2002, but was withdrawn from the 2006 FIFA World Cup onward, requiring the champions to qualify. Brazil, winners in 2002, were the first defending champions to play qualifying matches. Former Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene has scored the most runs in ICC T20 World Cup.
Kishan and Shardul Thakur replaced Suryakumar Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the starting XI. Suryakumar had to be left out of the team due to a back spasm. The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held because of the Second World War. The current champion is France, which won its second title at the 2018 tournament in Russia. We weren’t brace enough when we entered the field, but NZ sustained that pressure. It’s most often a result of hesitation of whether you should go for a shot or not.
World Cup prize money comes from the earnings of the nonprofit Fédération Internationale de Football Association . FIFA’s revenue is generated by high bids for television, marketing, and licensing rights for major football events that FIFA organizes. FIFA does not incur expenses for the construction of World Cup infrastructure, as those fall on the host country. Brazil’s Mário Zagallo, West Germany’s Franz Beckenbauer and France’s Didier Deschamps are the only people to date to win the World Cup as both player and head coach.
