Twitterati React After New Zealand’s Cricket Team Was Defeated In Yet Another Super-Over

crktlngBy crktlng31/01/2020Updated:04/02/2023No Comments5 Mins Read

If there’s an art of taking a thrilling match to a super-over and losing it, then New Zealand’s cricket team is the ‘Picasso’ of it. It was another match, another super-over and another defeat for the New Zealanders on Friday, as Team India showed their brilliance once again and took the match with a blow and are now leading the series by 4-0.

New Zealand cricket team just needed 7 runs in the final over with seven wickets in hand and still, they failed to get over the line. The New Zealand batsmen failed miserably, while Shardul Thakur outsmarted them with his mesmerizing spell.

After successfully chasing the target of 165 runs, New Zealand amassed 13 runs off Jasprit Bumrah’s super-over.  Later, Tim Southee once again took it upon him to defend the total but the cricketer failed to defend the total as India’s KL Rahul smashed him all around the ground. After KL Rahul’s dismiss, Virat Kohli took India to the victory sides.

Earlier in the match, New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson won the toss and opted to bowl first. After a brilliant performance from Indian batsmen including Manish Pandey, KL Rahul, Shardul Thakur, who helped team India post the score of 165 runs in 20 overs.

Kane Williamson’s led New Zealand cricket team managed to chase the target brilliantly, eventually leading them to a super-over once again.

As Kane Williamson’s side failed to stop team India from taking the team to the winning side, Twitter was flooded with the reactions from the Indian fans trolling the Kiwi cricketers for choking once again in front of the Indian cricketers.

Here, check out the reactions of Twitterati on this:

my dad:
*before the superover* dil se awaaz nahi aa rahi ki aaj hum jeetenge.
*after the superover* maine toh kaha hi tha hum jeetenge.

High time to introduce a new coaching role- Super Over Coach- in New Zealand dressing room. #NZvIND

To kids who recently started watching cricket,

A Super Over is a rare occurrence. It doesn’t happen often. Certainly not in two back-to-back games.

Regards.#NZvIND

I’m beginning to think the boundary count was the less cruel way for NZ to end up losing the World Cup final. #NZvInd

Lovely chaps the Kiwis but they are not very good at Super overs … !!! #NZvIND

— Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) January 31, 2020

 

The series scoreline should have been 2-2. Instead, it is now 4-0 for India.
Incidentally, no side has won a T20I bilateral series 5-0.#INDvsNZ #IndvNZ #NZvsIND

— Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) January 31, 2020

Wow I’m in shock with what I’ve just witnessed for a number of reasons…..

— Craig McMillan (@cmacca10) January 31, 2020

4-0. Drama. Heartbreak again for New Zealand. India just too composed at the end. How good was that push for 2 from Virat! Could do that because Rahul had set it up.

Quite Incredible to have a #SuperOver in back to back matches. The Indian seamers were simply outstanding in the last 3 overs to defend 18 . Love this quality of fighting till the end from India. Great win #NZvsInd pic.twitter.com/Eq9lV83xcf
