[Singham]

Afghanistan -95/4 . 34.4 overs...

 

[Singham]

Afghanistan -110/4 (40.0 overs)

 

[Sadevdesai]

Nice to see Afghanistan playing Cricket. They almost defended a low score against us.

 

[Singham]

5 wickets down for 116

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Afghanistan needs to win by a comfortable margin to knock Pakistan Under-23s out and to make the semi-finals

 

[Sandeep]

Why was Sandeep Warrier not given more overs? Bowled just 4!!

Pakistan is through

 

[Singham]

145/6----47 overs

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

184/7

Good finish, but poor start.

 

[Sandeep]

Rooting for the Afghans (and Chand).. Cricket needs them.. We'll have one more team with a lot of flair like Pakistan and West Indies

 

[Singham]

I would have been rooting for afghans if the hasham guy didn't challenge me....��

 

[IAJ]

Off topic; Are Pakistan already qualified for the semis? They have 4 Points and good net run rate after beating Nepal comprehensively.

 

[m.shah]

afganistan need to restrict india below 130 to qualify for semis

 

[IAJ]

afganistan need to restrict india below 130 to qualify for semis

Yeah I read that too, but which team will then miss out? India or Pakistan?

 

[m.shah]

If they keep india below 130 then they will get through semis to join pak...and india will miss out

 

[coca-cola]

afghanistan favorites here....

 

[IAJ]

India struggling here 83/4 after almost 29 overs.

Pity Afghanistan's best bowler missed out today. He would have loved to bowl today.

 

[Singham]

Lol. If Afghanistan qualifies, and india loses ,I am quitting pp as promised..

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Hamid could have been useful. Afg might win but won't qualify.

 

[Sakss]

Another wicket here can make things interesting

 

[Xoib]

Bangladesh can miss out on a sf birth would be a huge blow for them if they fail to book a semi place in a group involving UAE and Singapore.

 

[Sakss]

106/5 another wicket goes down.

Interesting

 

[Xoib]

if India and BD loose this we may end up topping our group and get to face UAE for our semi.

 

[Sakss]

if India and BD loose this we may end up topping our group and get to face UAE for our semi.

Have we qualified already or have a chance of missing out?

 

[IAJ]

Excellent bowling by Mirwais Ashraf. 10 overs, 1/18.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

United Arab Emirates 202/8 (50 ov)
Bangladesh Under-23s 141/6 (38.0 ov)
Bangladesh Under-23s require another 62 runs with 4 wickets and 12.0 overs remaining

BD on the way out.

 

[saiyan0312]

india will qualify but i think they may lose the match.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Afghanistan 184/7 (50 ov)
India Under-23s 106/5 (38.0 ov)
India Under-23s require another 79 runs with 5 wickets and 12.0 overs remaining

India need just 24 to secure their place in semis.

 

[saiyan0312]

maiden....

 

[IAJ]

Have we qualified already or have a chance of missing out?

From cricinfo yesterday:

It was an easy win for Pakistan U-23s, Babar Azam played well for his century, scored runs all round the ground, with this win Pakistan U-23s have guaranteed their spot in knock outs. Nepal didn't had the total to defend on this flat wicket.

Babar Azam has been awarded the Man of the Match for his century

 

[Sakss]

From cricinfo yesterday:

Perfect .... So India v Afghanistan will decide who we play in the Semis.

 

[Sakss]

Only 4 runs and a wicket from the last 5 overs... good pressure from the Afghans

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

BD are out.

 

[saiyan0312]

india making it interesting.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

India 6 down for 113, need to get to 130.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

One thing is for sure about Afghans. They have winner mentality, never gives up. The games against Nepal, Pakistan and now this games show that.

I am looking forward to see how well they do the next 10 years. Could well become a full member.

 

[Sakss]

RR @ 8.6 now...

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

From cricinfo
"Another close one featuring Afghanistan! India need 135 to be safely into the semi--finals even if they lose this one."

How does this make sense when this is the last game.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

RR @ 8.6 now...

Don't think they are chasing that target

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

U.A.E. 202/8 v Bdesh U-23s 143 (41/50 ov)
U.A.E. won by 59 runs

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Fourr to reliase the pressure.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

118/7

Another one goes.

 

[saiyan0312]

and oh come on.

They are playing their main team, not under 23 team. Still its good fight by afghans.

 

[Sakss]

7 Down now.....i wish these games were on TV.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

They are playing their main team, not under 23 team. Still its good fight by afghans.

I bet that The Pak u23 and Indu23 has more first class experience then Afghan players(even the seniors.

 

[PakistanKnight]

Can someone tell me how the points table looks like for this tournament?

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

7 Down now.....i wish these games were on TV.

Me too.
16 more to get for India.

 

[saiyan0312]

india in trouble.... 12 needed to qualify

 

[PakistanKnight]

Afghanistan should have got a bit more runs and then India would have had no chance.

 

[Aman]

What an upset!

 

[PakistanKnight]

Shame on Pakistan U-23 for losing to India. Could have won it and made it a bit more easy for Afghanistan

 

[saiyan0312]

8 needed

 

[Sakss]

india in trouble.... 12 needed to qualify

7 more needed now

 

[PakistanKnight]

Pak U-23s all the way!

 

[Asif321]

Afghans have done very well

 

[PakistanKnight]

Ohhh come on...get your Malinga on.

 

[PakistanKnight]

Link of the points table?

 

[Aman]

so pakistan u23 gona exit ?

Afghans have done very well

Pakistan already qualified I think it's between India and Afghanistan for second spot I think.

 

[PakistanKnight]

Afghans have done very well

No. It is between Afghanistan and India at the moment. We are at 2nd position and we will qualify irrespective of who wins.

 

[saiyan0312]

1 needed

 

[saiyan0312]

india qualify with that run. well played afghanistan... very well played.;

 

[PakistanKnight]

"17 runs between both teams and a place in the semi-finals tomorrow" from cricinfo earlier. Pakistan Qualified!

 

[hur rizvi]

India qualify, but they should not win from here

 

[Asif321]

i got scared , thought Pakistan will b out if india lost

 

[PakistanKnight]

India need 135 to qualify not 130.

 

[PakistanKnight]

No problem Afghanistan bros. Just win this game and send a strong message to ICC.

 

[Sakss]

Link of the points table?

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/series/638924.html

Here it is

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

India is through too now.

I wonder if Afghanistan winning by a good margin could give us the UAE in semis?

 

[saiyan0312]

wait did they qualify or not?

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Hamid Hassan could have been the difference today. Injured I think.

 

[PakistanKnight]

If India U-23 loses it would be great for us. Pakistan would take the #1 spot in the points table because of NRR advantage.(India need to lose by a good margin)

 

[PakistanKnight]

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/series/638924.html

Here it is

Thanks. I got it earlier,though.

 

[saiyan0312]

well now they are qualified for sure.

 

[Aman]

I find it funny how the Indian posters have disappeared and the Pakistani ones have shown up

 

[PakistanKnight]

If India loses by a good margin,Pak would take on UAE in the semis! Insha'Allah Afghanistan will win by a good margin.

 

[Aman]

Lol. If Afghanistan qualifies, and india loses ,I am quitting pp as promised..

Live to fight for another day

 

[PakistanKnight]

@Kiwi:-It is either this way or vice-versa on Pak and Ind games.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

.. INd U-23 going to lose against Afgans...!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Aman]

@Kiwi:-It is either this way or vice-versa on Pak and Ind games.

Still hilarious )

I can pretty much pin point where it went wrong for India from this thread alone.
