With the number of catches we dropped today (2 in the super-over itself), New Zealand should have not only won the match but won it with ease.
I had given up, honestly. I was ready to take a lunch break.
New Zealand, though. SERIOUSLY?
After the World Cup final, we thought ‘oh, what a once in a lifetime game’, ‘what thrill’.
Well, this is the SECOND super-over they have LOST in just this series. And I am falling short of words.
Needing 7 runs from the last over, with no real tension of losing wickets, the Kiwis still managed to take things to a super-over. They scored 6 runs as 4 of their batsmen were dismissed by Shardul Thakur.
Now, I am all for sportsmanship and New Zealand is truly, my ‘second team’ – but at this point, I have to say: Tumse na ho paayega. Twitter does too.
They gave India a target of 14 to achieve in the super-over, which, to put it simply – was not tough at all.
That being said, what a brilliant performance by Indian bowlers in death overs. They have proved yet again why they are called the ‘best bowling unit in the world’.
