Moments of The Day: Sodhi-Santner Magic Strangles India Once Again

  • 5 years ago, in the first match of the 2016 T20 World Cup, the duo of Santner & Sodhi came together to choke India for 79. They were back at it again. Although Santner did not take a wicket, 4-0-15-0 made sure Sharma-Kohli could not free themselves. Them came Ish Sodhi (4-0-17-2) and finished it off taking both those wickets.
  • A few days ago, I had questioned why Daryl Mitchell was opening when Williamson, Conway, Phillips, & Seifert were in the XI. Today, he showed exactly why. Low scoring chases can be tricky but he made sure NZ reaches the target with ease.

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: What Has Happened to Team India?

  • India has lost 2 in 2 and are still mathematically in with a chance to qualify for the semi-finals. Losing two matches is not a huge issue. Pakistan & New Zealand are world class teams. What bothers me is the manner of defeat. Shaheen Shah Afridi & Trent Boult ensured India are on the backfoot, and they just couldn’t recover. For a team with immense depth & having dominated the decade, not competing & not showing intent for 80 overs straight is a concern.
