A temporary interruption to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match games between India and New Zealand due to dense fog led to several memes on social media even as the cricket pitch at picturesque Dharamshala city came in for criticism games
The match was briefly halted when low-hanging clouds and the mist engulfed the entire HPCA stadium – one of the most picturesque cricket grounds in the world thanks to the Dhauladhar mountain range that is a part of the majestic Himalayas in the backdrop games
The stadium is located in Dharamshala in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh games
Before India secured a four-wicket win over New Zealand, the dense fog played spoilsport when the host team was 100 for 2 in their chase of 274 as Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer were at the crease games
The Black Caps visibly looked unhappy with the situation when they talked to the on-field umpires games
Kohli and Iyer soon joined the conversation games
With the weather becoming severe, the players were asked to leave the field and commentators on air clarified that the players wouldn’t go back on the field till conditions improved games

One user on X/Twitter likened the fog to the entrances made by WWE star Undertaker games
“Breaking: Play stopped in Dharamsala due to undertaker’s entrance,” wrote the X user games
Another user said the fog was star player Shubman Gill’s revenge against mosquitos games
Gill had to stop playing for India briefly after he reportedly contracted dengue fever games
The user was apparently likening the fog at the stadium to mosquito foggers often used in localities in India to curb the spread of mosquitos games
A few users took a dig at the disputed relations games between the Indian and Pakistani cricket boards games
India were in control of their chase when the play stopped on Sunday, with Iyer scoring 21 runs off just eight deliveries games
The middle-order batter struck two consecutive boundaries just before the on-field umpires signalled for the game to halt games
The play resumed after a break of just over 10 minutes games
Iyer fell in the 22nd over, scoring 33 off 29 balls games
Kohli went on to play until the 48th over but missed out on a record-equalling 49th ODI century by just five runs, He is still a hundred behind India great Sachin Tendulkar’s world record of 49 centuries in the 50-over format games
Meanwhile, the HPCA outfield was also one of the topics of discussion as most of the Indian players chose not to dive to save runs to avoid any potential injuries games
India captain Rohit Sharma made a sliding effort and hurt his little finger early on in the first innings, forcing him to leave the field for treatment games
He, however, returned to lead the side games
The HPCA outfield first came under criticism with England captain Jos Buttler terming it as “poor” ahead of their World Cup match against Bangladesh games
“It's poor in my own opinion games
I think any time you're sort of talking about being careful diving or sort of being careful when you're fielding, it sort of goes against everything you want to be as a team,” Buttler said earlier in the tournament games
“You know you want to dive through our houses to save a run games
So, that’s obviously not ideal, the way the surface is, the outfield games
The outfield is different to when we played here in the IPL,” he said games
Buttler’s comments came after Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott expressed his disapproval over the outfield in Dharamshala as well, after their match against Bangladesh games
India’s next match in the World Cup 2023 is on 29 October against England in Lucknow games

The England players will remember the feeling games
Look back on the images of that night in Yokohama and see the empty eyes, despair writ large on wounded faces as South Africa celebrated beyond them games
The Springboks had not just secured World Cup victory but romped to it, an England side coursing with optimism after a stunning semi-final performance against New Zealand left lifeless and limp games
To some extent, it is a low from which England have never recovered games
The last four years have exposed deep flaws both within the national team and the game more widely, with talks of an even more radical domestic overhaul games
The 23 Englishmen involved then were the youngest collective to reach a World Cup final: the promise and potential of that group has been frittered away, Eddie Jones indulged past the point of no return and then sacked with less than a year until this tournament games
The gamble that the Rugby games Football Union (RFU) took when disposing of Jones at the end of the autumn last year relied entirely on getting to this point, the union recognising that a relatively friendly draw meant progression to the last four would remain eminently achievable even with a late change of coach games
Unlike Wales and Australia, who balanced the same equation when making their own regime changes and entered this tournament in a similar state, England have at least given themselves a shot in a semi-final games
The meticulous Steve Borthwick proved the right man to plot an emergency course games
Barring a total thrashing on Saturday night, his side have avoided embarrassment, navigating out of the choppy waters of August and through calmer September seas games
RecommendedSteve Borthwick explains Marcus Smith’s absence from England team to face South AfricaSouth Africa inspired by struggles of whole nation – Siya KolisiThe England blueprint to upset South Africa and reach Rugby World Cup finalBut there’s a Springbok storm on the horizon games
Given the different strata the two sides seem to occupy, it is unsurprisingly that few give them hope against South Africa, but England have fed off an underdog mentality throughout this tournament, insisting they’ve been written off too soon games
England believe they have the bite to back up that bark games
“Obviously it was disappointing four years ago,” said wing Elliot Daly, among 13 England matchday squad members in 2019 taking on the Springboks again games
“But I think the feel around this team is that it’s a very different team to then games
“Obviously, I had a bit of time out from the squad and, since coming back in, there’s a different feeling within this group games
We are going to try and harness that games
We’ve had the last year, two years of planning going into this, to hopefully perform our best on the weekend games
”To make next week’s showpiece will require a performance at a level above anything they have produced in France so far games
While South Africa will be wary of a team with little to lose, they are games better than this England team in virtually every facet, their gameplan more complete and cohesive games
Keep their heads and a final berth is theirs for the taking games
‘There’s a heightened sense of awareness, a heightened sense of what needs to be done,’ says lock Maro Itoje (AFP/Getty)The focus, as always with a Springbok side, will be on the majesty of their muscular pack and the extent to which England can match their might both at the set piece and tackling punch games
But their ability to offer diverse attacking threat can sometimes go overlooked – the backing of Manie Libbok at 10, a baton-waving maestro to Handre Pollard’s ticking metronome games
This is a complete and very good rugby team forged over five years in Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber’s kiln games
England, by contrast, are having to do it all in the pressure game games
Recognising that there is no time to throw all of their irons in the fire, England have focused on what they call their “building blocks” – the set piece, fitness, and a kick pressure game games
The plan is to physically peak again for this contest, having sagged slightly against Samoa after their pool stage rest week and building back up against Fiji games
Strong final quarters have been a theme of England’s tournament but there is no doubt that they will need a full 80-minute performance, which the squad admit they have yet to produce, to topple the world champions games
“The belief is strong in this team,” Steve Borthwick insisted games
“I sensed that all the way through since I got involved again with the team games
England’s head coach Steve Borthwick leads a training session (AFP/Getty)“There are players who have performed to the very highest of levels games
Players who have played knockout rugby, finals rugby before games
”In 2019, Siya Kolisi stated that he felt South Africa had beaten England in the World Cup final because of their greater motivation, a sense that they were playing something bigger games
The Springboks captain has revisited that motif this week but England don’t lack for belief – and insist that, this time, it will be different games
“There’s definitely a different energy around the place this week in comparison to other big games I’ve played,” articulated Maro Itoje games
“There’s a different feel games
There’s a heightened sense of awareness, a heightened sense of what needs to be done games
“I think people are aware of what’s at stake games
People are aware of the importance of doing your job, the importance of doing your role within the team games
There’s not many opportunities to be at this stage or at this level games
This is an experience for us to take the bull by the horns games
