Before my focus switches to IPL from this evening, one full circle story from #CWC22 🧵
At the Women's World Cup 2017, Sidhanta Patnaik and I met Mary Brito in the press box at Derby. She gave us a momento, the official souvineir from the first ever Nationals in Poona India,1973
India's qualification scenario #CWC22
THREAD
Scenario 1: India wins their last two matches (Ban and SA) and finish with 8 points
England can reach 8 as well, winning their last 2.
Staying above them in NRR will be difficult as their last two games are against Pak and Ban
1/5
Last month, I reached out to a few brands to collaborate with us for #CWC22
2 of them replied saying their Monthly budget (for March) is reserved for the IPL event.
Yesterday, I got a call from them asking if there was any way to work on World Cup now
I feel bad for them.
Extraordinary phase of play. NZ have been bowling to Test match fields almost, with just one fielder in front of square on the leg side, a deep sq. leg, and bowling short with Rowe and Tahuhu. India need disruption.

The required run rate is daunting. Please rotate the strike, it’s all about the 1-2s and ease off the pressure! It will be a shame if a gettable target bites India in the back due to a slumber play.
