A billion hearts breaking into ‘bits and pieces’ after an unexpected win by New Zealand, knocking out the competition favourites out of the World Cup – leaving fans devastated. It was supposed to be an easy victory for India – the team heavily tipped to win the ICC World Cup. Instead, proving nothing is guaranteed in sport, New Zealand defeated India by 18 runs in semi-final that took two days to complete after rain- a word synonymous to #CWC19 prevented the match finishing as scheduled at Old Trafford on Tuesday, 9 July. In this episode Shivani speaks to Ashwin from the Edges & Sledges Cricket podcast. Ashwin shares his thoughts on what went wrong for the men in blue. While Team India is being praised for showing a fighting spirit in the #CWC19, the loss to New Zealand in the semi-final has already raised several questions between Shivani & Ashwin, such as: · Middle-order woes · MS Dhoni’s run out controversary · Ravi Shastri’s decision at sending Dhoni in at No. 7 · Ravindra Jadeja Did overconfidence at a rather modest total become India's undoing? Were conditions not assessed to ascertain the challenge ahead? Is the Indian batting rather inept to handle the pressure if the top-order fails?
