Neesham slams Indian fans

New Zealand seamers Matt Henry and Trent Boult starred with the ball to defend a moderate target set by them over two days. They removed India’s top-order batters in no time to have them at five for three and then at 24 for four. Although India put their best feet forward with two partnership, the dismissal of Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni after a 100-run stand was the final nail in the coffin. Previously, half-centuries from Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson had propelled New Zealand to 239 runs in rain-marred first innings. The target proved too much for Virat Kohli & Co as hey fell 18 runs short at Manchester.

India looked like a hot favourite to reach the finals of the ICC World Cup 2019. Accordingly, the fans have brought the tickets of the pinnacle clash at the Lord’s Cricket Stadium in London. And now that the Men in Blues have failed to make it to the finals, they have no interest to go to the stadium and watch the match. As a result, they are trying to resell the tickets at a hefty sum which has grabbed the attention of New Zealand cricketer Jimmy Neesham.

The all-rounder soon took to Twitter to slams the fans and urged them to sell the tickets through the original platform so that the genuine cricket lovers can watch the final encounter of the World Cup. The world will see a new champion in the 50-0vers format as host England will face the Kiwis who have never won the World Cup in its history.

“Dear Indian cricket fans. If you don’t want to come to the final anymore then please be kind and resell your tickets via the official platform. I know it’s tempting to try to make a large profit but please give all genuine cricket fans a chance to go, not just the wealthy,” Neesham tweeted ahead of the final.
