England or New Zealand – Who’s going to win the World Cup?

For the first time in 4 since the inception of World Cup, two teams which have never won a world cup will battle it out at the home of cricket. New Zealand and England will battle it out in the World Cup final tomorrow at Lords.

Yes! Cricket awaits new champion. This year’s final at the iconic Lord’s will be England’s fourth final appearance at Cricket’s summit event and second for New Zealand, with a victory for either side will hand the team their first-ever title.

New Zealand

England’s moment of reckoning

England’s transformation has been amazing. After a shocking first round exit from the 2015 World Cup, they were labeled as chokers and mocked heavily in the media. Because of the football juggernaut, cricket was relegated to the sidelines with TV deals. When Eoin Morgan took over the captaincy not many had given chance, but the turnaround he created will be remembered for long in the Cricket history.

Drafting in white ball specialists across the country, Morgan patiently built an ODI side which will be remembered for long. Morgan’s mantra was playing fearless cricket. Four years of hard work paid off as the England side reached No 1 spot in ODI rankings. Coming into the tournament as favorites, England fulfilled the tall expectations by reaching the final by hammering Australia. The overhaul is very important for the sport which has been marginalized for some years.

For the first time in 14 years since their famous Ashes victory in 2005, cricket became the talk of the town once again as England reached the final of the World Cup after 27 long years. England will be fired up, with the barmy army cheering in loudly for their team as they take on New Zealand who has a reputation as a giant slayer on Sunday. New Zealand proved their reputation of being a dark horse that they could cause major upsets when they rooted out India in the semis.

New Zealand –  The ultimate Dark Horse

New Zealand’s biggest strength is their strong bowling line up. Trent Boult has been firing salvos at the top and he is ably assisted by Lockie Ferguson and Matt Henry who unsettle the batsmen with their raw pace. Their batting is dangerously over-reliant on Kane Williamson who has scored 30% of the total runs of the team.

New Zealand is playing their second straight final but will hope the result is different this time around than it was 4 years ago when they were thrashed by Australia.

Advantage England

England clearly has an edge as they thrashed NZ side in the league stages. Their openers Johnny Bairstow and Jason Roy are in the form of their lives. Joe Root at No 3 is rock solid and Eoin Morgan and Jos Butler can turnaround any games with their cameos. Ben Stokes has been excellent throughout this tournament. And bowlers like Jofra Archer and Chris Woakes could rip apart any batting line up.

England will start the match as firm favorites and New Zealand as always is the underdog. As both the teams clash, it will also be a clash of captains with contrasting personalities. While Kane Williamson is calm and calculative, Eoin Morgan is aggressive and brash which were reflective in the way they marshaled their resources. The two contrasting styles will come together on Sunday and one of them would lift the trophy for the first time. Whoever does it, it will be the one that will be remembered for ages.

World Cup  Contests

Just like the World Cup reached its climax, the world cup contests here at Deccan Rummy have also reached their Climax.

With just a day to go for the contest to conclude, thousands of players will be competing for a place in history.

Well Played Team India!

India’s world cup campaign came to an end on Wednesday after they went down to New Zealand by 18 runs. For the thousands of fans who filled the stadium with a large swath of blue and the millions who tuned to watch their heroes, it was heartbreak. Much was expected from this Indian line up when they landed in England and the boys in blue reciprocated the faith we had on them by topping the league tables. Winning 7 out of 9 games is no ordinary achievement. In doing so, they got the best of world-class sides like Australia, Pakistan, and South Africa.

World Cup

However, things were to be different when they faced New Zealand. Despite bowling well and restricting New Zealand to 239, our batsmen stumbled in this all-important crucial encounter and were unable to carry on the Midas touch they had. However, it was not a mauling. Ravindra Jadeja’s valiant heroic effort along with the calm and composed innings from the maverick MS Dhoni took us close to victory. New Zealand, however, pulled their socks up and banished them both back to the pavilion to seal the victory. Kudos to the Indian team for their valiant fight till the end.

Though they may have been knocked out of the tourney, the boys in blue won a million hearts during their world cup campaign. Some of the brilliant moments during the world cup are listed below

1. Rohit Sharma’s heroics

With 648 runs in nine innings at an average of 81 and a strike rate of 98.33, Rohit Sharma has been the mainstay of Indian batting line up. The world cup was a perfect platform for the stylish opener to remind the cricketing fraternity that, he is one of the modern day greats. During this amazing journey, he broke the records for the most number of centuries in a single edition of World Cup with 5 centuries. He ended up just a few runs short of breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s 16-year record of 673 runs. Overall, his world cup exploits will remain lingering in the minds of cricket enthusiasts for long.

2. Virat Kohli’s Goodwill

Though he had a modest tournament with 443 runs in nine innings, which fades out in front of the lofty standards that he’s set for himself, Virat Kohli impressed the cricketing fraternity with goodwill and gesture. Whether it’s walking during the game against archrivals Pakistan or urging his followers not to boo Steven Smith, Kohli left an indelible imprint in this tournament. Who can forget the poignant moment when he greeted 87-year-old fan after the game against Bangladesh? Kohli ended the campaign on a high in acknowledging New Zealand’s superior efforts and wishing them good luck.

3. Bumrah Express

One of the best finds in the Indian bowling line up in recent years is Jasprit Bumrah. Bowling with an uncanny style that could even unsettle the best in the business, Bumrah has been outstanding in the past two years earning the tag of No 1 bowler in ODIs. This world cup offered a perfect platform to take his skills to the next level. Mitchell Starc may end up as the best bowler in this series with 27 wickets, however, Bumrah with 18 wickets at a stunning economy rate of just 4.41 was really the pick of bowlers. Bumrah is just 25. He is all set to have a long career ahead.

4. Passionate Fans

Last but not least India’s fervent fans have been amazing throughout the event. Though the world cup was scheduled in England, none of the matches appeared as if they were played abroad as the entire stadium was filled with an ocean of blue. The flags, drums, bodypaints whenever India was playing, the atmosphere was just fantastic. Their unwavering support for the Indian team is really astonishing.

To sum up, though India’s campaign ended on heartbreak, they won a billion hearts with their antics in the field and off the field. With the next world cup scheduled at 2023 in India, there’s plenty of time to rebuild the side and go strong. And you bet India to pull it off in 2023, you better!

England – Four Years in the making

For England, it’s been four years of hard work. They were mocked and ridiculed after an early exit in the past two world cups.

These exits promoted a complete approach to ODIs and the team has really worked hard these four years to its present position. Past English sides were just placing Test successes as ultimate glory and were disregarding about ODIs. The English side under Eoin Morgan changed this perspective and incorporated a completely different mindset to the game. They realized the attack is the best form of defense and have been playing some brute force cricket. The result was that they leapfrogged to the top position in the ODI ranking securing several ODI series victories both home and away.

This World Cup has been a wonderful ride for England. Despite enduring a hiccup with few group defeats, they were back in the contention thrashing India and New Zealand in their last group games. Johnny Bairstow and Jason Roy were perfect at the top engineering their side to great totals when batting first. Joe Root at No 3 is rock solid. With the likes of Eoin Morgan, Jos Butler, and Ben Stokes, their middle order has been powerful rescuing the team when in crisis. Their bowling too clicked when it matters as Chris Woakes and Jofra Archer are among the leading wicket-takers this series.

Australia – Big Match Players

Australia can never be written off in a tournament like this. Having won the cup a record 5 times, they know what it takes to become a champion and their convincing victories in the league stages just prove it. As the saying goes, Aussies are beasts when it comes to the World Cup have come true once again. They have never lost a semifinal in these last seven world cups with the exception of 2011.

It’s hard to tame the beast when it’s on a song. David Warner and Aaron Finch have amazing with the bat delivering centuries after centuries in the process taking their teams to victories. Mitchell Starc has been a revelation this tournament. With 26 wickets already, a wicket in this match should see him break Glenn McGrath’s record of 26 wickets. He is ably supported with Jason Behrendorff, who is supporting him with useful wickets here and there. They were just a whisker away from claiming the top spot as they lost the final game against SAF by just 10 runs.

Australia looks a better-balanced side with resources firing in all departments and they are known to rise their game to unimaginable levels during games like these. They have a psychological edge over England thrashing them by 64 runs during their group stage encounter. Also, they have a better head-to-head record over England in ODIs.

Can England overcome its fears and prevail over Australia? Would their hard work for four years pay off? Or Will it be the Aussies one more time?
