Matches Posted ICC World T20 2016 - Round 1 started!

Wow. Great win for us. Kohli was exceptional again and well supported by Raina. Bowling was good. Even though Bumrah was expensive, he picked up 3 wickets. Bowlers did a good job to restrict Aussies. Still early in the tournament, but we are looking good. It gives you a lot of confidence when you win the first match. We will take this confidence and march further in the tournament.

And if I can comment on others match, may I add what a chase that was by Pakistan. Chasing a big score without any loss of wicket? Wow. That's unbelievable. Nice win for them.

0.1  Trent Boult to Alex Hales, Inside edge, and past the stumps. The batsmen take a quick single  (1)

0.4  Trent Boult to Jason Roy, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0)
0.5  Trent Boult to Jason Roy, Perfect yorker on the leg stump.  (0)
0.6  Trent Boult to Jason Roy, Someone should really tell him what that bat is for. Rapped dead in front, the umpire has no hesistation.

3.1  Tim Southee to Joe Root, Tucked to off side, one more.  (1)

4.3  Trent Boult to Eoin Morgam, Slapped away through the offside for a glorious boundary! Lovely shot. The captain's fuming now and removes a man from third slip to cover that region.  (4)

NEW ZEALAND INNINGS

The second innings begins now 


0.1  B en Stokes to Martin Guptill, Gorgeous square drive, placed perfectly past point. There isn't a lot of power in the shot though, and third man cuts it off while the batsmen run hard for three.  (3) 
0.2  B en Stokes to Williamson, Edged and through the vacant gully region for four! And just after the captained had removed a man from there! Don't you just hate it when that happens?  (4) 
0.3  B en Stokes to Williamson, Full delivery outside off-stump, the batsman clears his left leg and swings, and inside edges the ball into his off-stump! Well, that's what you get for trying to slog across the line! I hope he's learnt his lesson.

0.4  B en Stokes to Ross Taylor, Driven down the ground to long-on, the batsmen get only one  (1) 
0.5  B en Stokes to Martin Guptill, Wide full toss, the batsman slashes at it and gets four more through point! Poor bowling.  (4) 
0.6  B en Stokes to Martin Guptill, Scorching bouncer, the batsman clearly didn't expect that and just sways out of the way at the last moment!  (0)

We fell away a bit at the end of our innings but still thought we had more than enough with Roots brilliant innings. Our bowling wasn't quite up for it unfortunately though it seems.

Wonderful victory, just like in real life. Really happy to see our bowlers do well. Kohli as always is a beast and we will be depending a lot on him. Having said that I hope our other batters can fire too. I am sure they can when Pak openers can score 180 alone. So why not us!

Great win, it's showing our great team strength & form.
