Shami-seven stops Mitchell-led chase
The Morning Standard
|November 16, 2023
DARYL Mitchell and Kane Williamson were at it for a while. You know that things are not going India's way when there is hardly any noise in the crowd. On Wednesday evening, Wankhede, a sea of blue, had gone into silent mode for a while.
Chasing 398 in a World Cup semifinal, the New Zealand captain and Mitchell were quietly building momentum. Four-five singles in an over, then a boundary to keep up with the run-rate and both had crossed their fifties in the process. The New Zealand No. 4 swept and reverse swept almost every over against spinners and when the length was favourable, he took them on. One of those sixes he smashed off Ravindra Jadeja literally hit the roof of the Wankhede Stadium.
While the required run-rate was still closer to ten, the nerves had started to kick in. Is this going to be another heartbreak? On the field, the Indian team looked a bit deflated as well.
