Sharp at 7 pm. Virat flipped the coin up. Kane called it right. For the umpteenth time, Virat lost the toss. Kane chose to chase. Statistically, victory chasing was at 8 to 0. We had not beaten NZ in a WC since 2013. With the toss, half the gloom descended. Instead of efforts to reverse the statistics, boys exhibited utter irresponsibility and lackadaisical approach and we had lost the match with the score board displaying 48 for 4 in the 10th over; a bizarre state if not ridiculous. MSD should be kicking himself having been appointed the mentor of our team.
