00:11so we're done with the music and the cricket is about to begin we are in Ahmedabad once again
00:19for the final of an ICC world event it is India colorful emotional gigantic up against New Zealand
00:28gorgeous gentle quiet always tripping the champions who knows what lies ahead one team will go from
00:37here remember we started with 20 and now it's down to two the toss a little while ago New Zealand
00:43won
00:43the toss and they've asked India to bat this is how the teams line up then some discussion on whether
00:49India might make a change they've stuck with Varun Chakravarti and so they will play exactly the
00:55team that won their two previous knockout games against the West Indies in England batting so
01:00deep all the way down to Akshar Patel one change for New Zealand it's a good one Jacob Duffy comes
01:07back
01:07in no room for the offspinner Cole McConkey but they bat very deep to all the way down to Jimmy
01:13Neesham and Matt Henry down at number nine three seam bowlers all kinds of spin bowling options
01:19available to New Zealand these two batters one in extraordinary form another searching for form
01:41Sanju Samson a slip in place that's a lovely start by night Henry there this time he connects just marginally
01:54shorter that's all the space Sanju Samson needs he is up and running with a six just a few balls
02:00to see
02:01get your eye in and then bang he goes we've seen some sweet shots so far in the last week
02:08Sanju Samson
02:09brings out another one clear the infield not sure it quite came off the middle of the bat but it
02:19goes
02:19long enough for his first boundary he was put off because the previous ball was called wide when
02:25it was nowhere near a wide so he's had to go straighter
02:30Abhishek has pounced on it
02:35not anymore the length is full which is exactly where Abhishek likes it
02:44brilliant that's probably the best shot of the ball today once again a little too full and India have
02:49clobbered 15 of the over well it is off but it's over there a slip might have been
03:06six you thought initially might have sliced it no but Abhishek Sharma is back here he's given India
03:13the start like he always does this man constantly in the last two years has developed this habit of
03:19smashing it out of the park we haven't seen too much of it in this World Cup but I can
03:24tell you
03:24Mitchell Santana is playing into his hands right now by bowling paces a change in the field shot third
03:30man comes up deep third man goes back oh leading edge there is a man there he'll watch it sail
03:39over for
03:40six beats the fielder inside the circle once again into the pads not the over New Zealand were searching
03:48four as 50 comes up in just the fourth over clears the infield slow ball goes for six again
04:02straight up I think he might have got enough on it yes he has much more than enough
04:10that's up in the air and will land in the crowd
04:19that's up in the air it's gone a long long way
04:24and rolls over into the fence as well and he can't choose a bigger stage than this
04:31to do the job for India so 45 now of just 16 deliveries
04:40and again he's just walking across his stumps brings up his half century it's come of just 18 balls
04:50in a World Cup final
04:55a glorious shot picked up lint
05:00he's got him there's a sound the finger has gone up he chased a wide one and a good catch
05:07that
05:07thought about Santana he creates something but no it's Ratchan Ravindra slower loopy teasing
05:15but what an innings to set things up for India what a platform
05:19Abhishek Sharma gone for 52 first one down at 98 here
05:24one left-hander goes there's another left-hander who comes in he's also in sparkling form
05:29Hishan Kishan
05:34that's a terrific shot of the back foot
05:40oh excellent some quality shots already from Hishan Kishan
05:48oh that skill that is high class for someone who can hit the ball with brute force
05:58that's quality for you
06:03oh that smashed up the back foot
06:06rare miss fielder from New Zealand
06:12the crowd are loving the power from these Indian batters it is pinging off their bats
06:22he becomes the third player to score a half century in a semi-final and a final of a t20
06:28world cup
06:30and he's done it at home 137 for one
06:34well another magnificent knock from Sanju Sampson
06:41and he's gonna keep going a free swing of the bat a man in full
06:52now he goes straight
06:58runs are flowing from both ends at the moment
07:03into the surface he goes but Satner is in the inner ring
07:07and it easily clears his head
07:14that has gone a long way back
07:16so easily as he dispatched that into the ground
07:24just went quiet for a little moment just a few deliveries but Sanju Sampson makes sure that
07:31quietness doesn't last long
07:38the runs continue to flow so easily
07:46the shots are something that you have to just admire this is sensational
07:57that easily gets into position so quickly he moves the speed gets himself into position to allow him to free
08:04the arms
08:09this is that the overall fight being in the world cup
08:13he has carried out the front of the world cup but he is still performing in the final
08:16with a half century and also brings up the 100 partnership
08:20of 45 deliveries
08:27straight he goes
08:29these two are playing
08:31so beautifully together
08:32already the 200 is up
08:34it's 2-0-3 for 1
08:40there's a fielder, there's a fielder, the catch will be taken
08:43Sanju Sampson's
08:45excellent innings
08:46is over
08:49extremely well played
08:51just listening outside, I've stuck my ear outside the comb box
08:54it's so quiet
08:56and a wicked force
08:57as ever
08:59Indian player goes, they just want to keep going
09:02they want the entertainment to keep flowing
09:04what an innings
09:06what an innings in a finale
09:08the captain's
09:10said to Hardik Pandya
09:11you go in
09:16one hand
09:17two hands on the catch
09:21Jimmy Nisham is bold
09:22he's no full toss
09:24he's picked up another
09:25you just don't know do you?
09:27that's the beauty of this game
09:28two in and over
09:30someone else
09:31ball and hand do something dramatic as well
09:34those final overs
09:35yeah, Ishan Keshan
09:37gone for 54 from 25
09:45now Suryakumari Adam
09:49now has he taken it?
09:53suddenly
09:55India have been rocked
09:56three wickets in and over
10:00that's a brilliant catch
10:07Tilakwaruma comes in
10:11there's a fielder there
10:13no, he almost got there
10:19the moment he hit it
10:20he thought he was gone for all money
10:21that's because this man on screen
10:22almost got to it
10:25Hardik Pandya has looked to probably
10:26hit the ball so hard
10:28and into Sabarmati river
10:29at times he's losing shape here
10:34now has it worked
10:35it has
10:36whatever it was
10:37that he needed
10:39he's good that bad well enough
10:43straight up
10:44this should be taken
10:46inside the circle
10:48and it's taken
10:49one more goes down for India
10:51yeah, well said Ash
10:52didn't come out early
10:54Skipper said

11:01three wickets and one over
11:03he's gobbled up 13 balls for 18
11:05he's out of here there
11:06at 226
11:07for five men
11:09Shivam Dubey comes in
11:12round the wicket
11:14Dubey goes
11:17high but not long enough
11:19but he was never there
11:20oh, it might be four, it is
11:25this is huge from Shivam Dubey
11:27in his hitting arc
11:31six more
11:33as good a shot as any
11:34you will see
11:39one bounce
11:40four more
11:41got a gigantic total
11:43on the board
11:44it might be more
11:46it'll be four more
11:46in India finish
11:49255
11:51when you are put in to bat
11:53you think
11:53how many can I get
11:55and you dream
11:56and you think
11:57250 maybe
11:58and India
11:59gone and touched that
12:00Sanju Samson
12:0289 of 46
12:03beautifully crafted innings
12:05Abhishek Sharma
12:0652 of 21
12:07Ishan Kishan
12:09has been
12:09such a star performer
12:11for India
12:1154 of 25
12:13then that little stumble
12:15for India
12:15Hardik Pandya
12:16Surya Kumari
12:17the other
12:20255 for 5
12:21and power
12:27Tim Seifert and Phil Allen
12:29we've got to say
12:30the New Zealand hopes
12:31pretty much hang on
12:32how long
12:33they can bat
12:41little bit of curve
12:42in the air
12:42little bit
12:48high
12:50it is a chance
12:51it is a big chance
12:53and it is dropped
12:54by Shibam Dubé
12:57India's had their issues
12:58with catching
12:59Shibam Dubé
13:02he always felt
13:03that a lot
13:04was going to happen
13:04in the power play
13:06not the easiest
13:07of catches
13:07I don't even think
13:09he got much
13:09of a hand to it
13:10lucky
13:10he didn't get
13:11any part of his face
13:16that should travel
13:17all the way
13:18and drop
13:19beyond the boundary
13:20won't be the last
13:21opportunity
13:22beyond the boundary
13:23tonight
13:24I don't think
13:25further indication
13:26of how good
13:27this surface is
13:28it's just sliding
13:29on nice
13:29not a half volley
13:30but talk about
13:31how Seifin clears
13:32that front leg
13:33the ability to hit
13:34the ball
13:34on the up
13:36over that long
13:37on mid wicket
13:38region
13:44he's one of
13:45those players
13:46that can score
13:47all around the park
13:48like Finnellen
13:50as well
13:50so this is a very
13:51difficult
13:52opening combination
13:53to ball to
13:54when they're on sound
13:56swung again
13:57he's had to get a long
13:57way outside the line
13:58of off stuff
13:59hence falling over
14:00afterwards
14:02shot he played well
14:03both Finnellen
14:04and Seifert
14:06against South Africa
14:07in that semi-final
14:12that's four
14:16that was the end
14:17swinger
14:18and it is
14:19gone to the
14:20boundary again
14:21expensive
14:21over 21
14:22off it
14:27good change
14:28but didn't work
14:29long on
14:30couldn't cut that
14:30off
14:34down to long on
14:35and taken
14:38so a wicket
14:39in Akshar Patel's
14:41first over
14:42and the change
14:43of bowling

14:44of pace
14:45has worked
14:45Akshar Patel
14:47being brought in
14:47early
14:48midland leg
14:48flatter
14:49quicker
14:49smashed straight
14:51to long on
14:52and it wasn't
14:52the normal long on
14:53it was much wider
14:54Tilakwarma
14:55takes a very good
14:56catch under pressure
14:57Finnellen
14:58for the second time
14:58giving India
14:59an opportunity
15:00but this time
15:01India takes it
15:02but he goes
15:04just the nine
15:10Ratchin Ravindra
15:15in the air
15:16it's a chance

17:13yeah well played
17:15Tim Seifert
17:16at the top of the
17:17order again
17:18setting the tone
17:20for New Zealand
17:21semi-final
17:22remember
17:23he was the frontrunner
17:24in the partnership
17:24with Finn Allen
17:25nearly reached 50
17:27before Phil Allen
17:28got 30
17:28Finn Allen
17:30will have all
17:30the highlights
17:31but Seifert
17:33very good player
17:34in this tournament
17:35imagine if New Zealand
17:36were to go anywhere
17:37near close
17:38in this run chase
17:39he has a lot
17:40more work to do
17:45chops it on
17:46he's been bowling
17:48he's been bowling that
17:48harder length
17:49into the surface
17:51you see this
17:52he's looked to hit the ball
17:53a little too hard
17:54the bat comes down
17:54at the angle
17:56takes that inside edge
17:57and goes back
17:59onto the stumps
18:01in the eighth over
18:02it's 74-4
18:10is it strong enough
18:12no it's not
18:13what a time he is having
18:15in the field tonight
18:16Kishan moves so quickly
18:19around
18:19and great awareness
18:21of the boundary
18:22it's 52 from just 26
18:25he couldn't believe it
18:26he thought he'd placed it right
18:29but Ishan Kishan
18:30he was sprinting
18:31like a hare
18:32on the boundary
18:34covered very good ground
18:39very calm
18:40as he took it
18:41and very composed
18:43threw the ball up
18:43in the air
18:44just in case
18:45he thought he might have
18:46touched the rope
18:48it's 72 for 5
18:51and it'll bring Mitch Satner
18:52to the crease
18:57now that's a biggie
19:04big head straight down
19:05the ground
19:05and will clear it
19:07with ease
19:11straight up again
19:12and will clear
19:13the boundary
19:14once again
19:20straight in
19:21he's not dropping
19:22anything today
19:25and afraid
19:26Mitchell has to go

19:30I know it was
19:31Sancho that he dropped
19:32but this man is a danger man
19:34you can see the full toss
19:35not quite going
