Opinion: India's Dominance Will Ring Alarm Bell For Opposition

India's win over defending World Cup champions England in a low-scoring match has to be their best performance in this edition so far. No other team looks as convincing as India at the moment. If you look at the Indian side, they were under pressure in the first game against Australia, where they were three down chasing. And then they won in a convincing way. In that match, India were chasing a target. Today, India batted first and put up just 229 runs against the current world champions. Then, we defended the total with such conviction!

Rachin Ravindra Becomes Only Player Besides Sachin Tendulkar To Achieve Massive Cricket World Cup Feat

New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra has been a breakout star for his team in the Cricket World Cup 2023 and he once again made an impact with a century against Australia at Dharamshala, though in a losing cause. Rachin Ravindra's explosive century and James Neesham's death over striking went in vain as New Zealand could not chase 389 runs set by Australia, losing by just five runs in a nail-biter on Saturday. Ravindra smashed 116 in 89 balls. His knock consisted of nine fours and five sixes and he struck at a strike rate of over 130. His century, the second made by the talented all-rounder in his debut World Cup, came in just 77 balls, which is the fastest century by a Kiwi in the tournament's history. Ravindra broke his own record of 82-ball century against England in the tournament opener.
