#Cricket🏏

Just a #BlueSkyCricket PSA for all of you who turned out for the #T20WorldCup, let's keep the hype and momentum going. There is still so much limited overs #Cricket🏏 going on. We've got the #Hundred auction coming up this week. Americas Qualification for the 2028 World Cup is already underway.

Got my copy of @nightwatchmanxi.bsky.social 53 in the mail today. I cannot thank @missingintheslips.bsky.social enough for taking an interest in my little podcast #Cricket🏏 journey. Still hard to believe and still so humbled.

I’ll explain more when I post my next episode about the #T20WorldCup but I have to disagree when the announcers called India the “best team in the tournament by a country mile”. They thoroughly deserved the win today and the trophy but were not the best team all tournament.

Welcome to the #Cricket🏏 family!

India win the title by 96 runs!

Well done to India for a much-deserved win. Condolences for New Zealand as they looked so good until the final.

And he does it!

#INDvNZL #T20WorldCup #Cricket🏏

Sharma gets a half-century and now a chance to take a wicket. Why not.

#INDvNZL #T20WorldCup #Cricket🏏

I'm not usually one for AI images but occasionally it feels right.

Everytime Bumrah gets a wicket I just hear Mumm-Ra from Thundercats.

So...here you go internet. Sorry.

New Zealand just needs 17 straight 6's and they've got this!

Stats highlights from the third and final day of the Australia v India women's Test.

Australia wrapped up a dominant victory at the WACA, and sealed the multi-format series win.

Well perhaps Bumrah gets a hat-trick?

#INDvNZL #T20WorldCup #Cricket🏏

Apparently I need to feed my children. But cricket is on!

It's feeling less like "Will New Zealand be able to chase?" and more like "Will New Zealand make it 20 overs?"

This is what happens when you're chasing such a massive total. You've got to just go for it on each ball.

#INDvNZL #T20WorldCup #Cricket🏏

Well there goes Seifert 52 (26) as he's caught out deep.

#INDvNZL #T20WorldCup #Cricket🏏

Chapman out for 3 (8) and New Zealand fall to 70-4.

Pandiya takes an excellent wicket.

#INDvNZL #T20WorldCup #Cricket🏏

Seifert with the half century and the Kiwis are at 68-3 after 7.

It's a great feat for a wonderful batter but they still need 14.46 rpo for this massive chase. Someone else needs to step up and start popping boundaries as well.

#INDvNZL #T20WorldCup #Cricket🏏

"In Seifert we trust" has got to be New Zealand's mantra right now.

New Zealand need to start producing some 20-plus run overs to give India some apprehension.

At 47-3 after Patel bowls out Philips, it's looking more and more out of hand.

#INDvNZL #T20WorldCup #Cricket🏏

I think the game was done quite a while ago - before the Kiwis even took up the bat.

Bumrah gets his first wicket on his first ball - again.

Ravindra caught out and New Zealand slump to 32-2 after 3.1 overs.

#INDvNZL #T20WorldCup #Cricket🏏

Patel gets Allen's wicket with an easy catch from Varma in the deep.

31-1 for New Zealand. 9-7 for Allen.

#INDvNZL #T20WorldCup #Cricket🏏

Very pedestrian first over from New Zealand 4-0.

There has to be some urgency to the play, regardless of who is bowling.

#INDvNZL #T20WorldCup #Cricket🏏

Dube with the drop of Allen. How much will this come back to haunt India?

#INDvNZL #T20WorldCup #Cricket🏏

Gotta root for Seifert with the pink gloves/bat. That's my jam.

What is the best way to attack Bumrah? With his pace it seems like the best option would be to let the momentum carry itself with tipping it behind, between keeper and slips/leg.

#INDvNZL #T20WorldCup #Cricket🏏

Found it! England chased 230 against South Africa in 2016.

New Zealand definitely win the title for best practice/warm-up kits. That green is so gorgeous.

India finish at 255-5 and set a 256 target for the Kiwis to chase.

255 is the third highest total in T20 World Cup history.

Trying to find what the highest successful chase has been, pretty sure it's not 256.

#INDvNZL #T20WorldCup #Cricket🏏

India at 231-5 with one over left. How high will they set the target for New Zealand? RPO expectation is 243.
