Afghanistan walk away with heads held high after tie in last match of Asia Cup against India

[DRsohail]

It will be embarrassing if we lose today against Afghanistan.

No its c team.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

It's ok..Dhoni would be finished as a captain and hopefully might be made to sit out of the WC.

You are dreaming. Nothing is going to happen/change. Only excuses like this was India Z team will be made.

 

[InziRules]

India wouldn't have played India C XI

Why wouldn't they? They're through either way lol, NRR is too high

 

[kuskash]

Rashid will bowl 2 off the last 4 overs (hopefully)




Game over India

Very tough for Indians.

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

It will be embarrassing if we lose today against Afghanistan.

Not gonna lose man Sid Kaul will take revenge

 

[Ned Flanders]

Am I? How?

Because India is in final.

 

[BlackShadow]

Here's how sides rank in Asia today -

1) India
2) India A
3) India B
4) India C = Afganistan
5) Pakistan
6) Bangladesh
7) Sri Lanka

 

[kuskash]

Because India is in final.

How?

 

[GrandMaster]

It will be embarrassing if we lose today against Afghanistan.

It will be in records and PPers would love to bring it up every now and then

 

[Syed1]

Man this Aftab Alam is such a meetha bowler

 

[Ned Flanders]

Told you you were thinking too much of yourself.

This is an India C XI.

Pakistan was it's first string XI

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Seems like my gut feeling of CT final repeat gonna happen.

 

[InziRules]

Rashid will bowl 2 off the last 4 overs (hopefully)




Game over India

Gives hope we can beat them, even if they win. They're not THAT far ahead, just have two in-form openers.

Hopefully dropping them affects that form

 

[saintgrace]

Middle order failed again. Rahul should come in middle with Rayudu. Jadhav and pandeyshould not be selected at all. DHONI is not good at all these days. He should just go now.

 

[Syed1]

1) India

Don't count your eggs before the chicken hatch... we saw posts like these before CT final as well. For all we know Pak/BD show up really determined in the final and rip India a new one.

 

[Thomaskutty]

Loook at the size of Shahzad, a proper Leverock clone.

 

[BlackShadow]

Afgans are such a talented bunch.

 

[Asif321]

Who is gonna troll? Pak posters?

Bongs. Will join too

 

[rollingstoned]

I am sure, like me, many indians wanted this middle order troika of dhoni-karthik-jadhav get exposed, and seems like we are getting our wish. Dhoni can't play even off spin.

Having said that, Afghanistan is going to be a dangerous team. Amazing spirit and confidence.

How? 2 of them were not out and one was run out in an unlucky fashion. It's much more likely that a 'stable' combination will be persisted with until they absolutely bomb.

 

[Asif321]

India should get over the line just 18 needed now

 

[Ned Flanders]

Come on Jaddu, hit 3 sixes

 

[K4Kohli]

I like it that Pak posters are getting encouraged with this match against afgan. It would be so sweet when Rohit and Co crushes their team in Finals #trashTalk #IndiaVsPak

 

[kuskash]

It will be in records and PPers would love to bring it up every now and then

If you like to give, learn to take it as well.

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

Yeah Both got thrashed in Asia Cup 2018, stop living in the past

 

[BlackShadow]

India should get over the line just 18 needed now

Best LOI spinner will bowl 66% of the deliveries. India's only hope here is to get lucky with a slog.

 

[Syed1]

India should get over the line just 18 needed now

17 need off 18 balls but 12 off those balls will be bowled by Rashid Khan, who has a knack of only going for 3-4 rpos and also picking up wickets. Jadeja needs to keep strike and get bulk of scoring done in 2nd last over.

 

[the_outsider]

you think that is enough considering the final will be a high pressure game and if openers fail?

Considering that your bowlers can't get Dhawan and Rohit out before they get 50s, yeah I think another 100 from out no 3 and 4 is enough.

 

[DRsohail]

getting easier now.

 

[BlackShadow]

Hatch hone ki zaroorat nahi, humne ande abhi hi gin liye.

Kuch nahi hoga tumse.

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

Afghanistan has so much raw talent, they are the Pakistan of the 90s

 

[Mahee]

there is no middle order for India....Pakistan has a very good chance to win the final if they can get rohit and dhawan cheaply

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

you think that is enough considering the final will be a high pressure game and if openers fail?

You know standards are low when 57 and 42 against Afghanistan are considered as good scores. They should have learnt from the openers and finished the game. The quality of this team goes down when the top 3 fail.

 

[Syed1]

Hatch hone ki zaroorat nahi, humne ande abhi hi gin liye.

Yehi arrogance nazar ahrahi thi CT ke final se pehlay... phir chaar mahinay tak chuptay phir rahay thay.....

 

[Asif321]

Easy now

 

[kuskash]

Need to lower arrogance.

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

Pakistan don't have quality spinners like Afghanistan

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

13 from 12 needed. Jadeja is playing a nice little inning.

 

[Asif321]

They will get atleast 6 runs here so Rashid catch defend 7 in last so game fone

 

[160KPH]

Afghan has to restrict this over. Rashid Khan is going to need at least 8 runs to work with in the last.

 

[Ozeirk]

Considering that your bowlers can't get Dhawan and Rohit out before they get 50s, yeah I think another 100 from out no 3 and 4 is enough.

Things could have been very different if Imam or Shadab hadn't dropped those catches.

How's the weather there, saheb?

 

[Syed1]

Fat lady can't run )

 

[Asif321]

Wickets is only way now can’t contain

 

[jnaveen1980]

Well played Afghanistan.

 

[kuskash]

Fat lady can't run )

To be fair, running third run and bat got stuck

 

[Ozeirk]

hahahahah OUT!!!!!

 

[the_outsider]

Kuldeep was looking like a better batsman than Asif Ali here.

Ali comes in at 6 for Pak. Kuldeep comes in at 9.

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

Jadeja playing like Mike Hussey

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Yehi arrogance nazar ahrahi thi CT ke final se pehlay... phir chaar mahinay tak chuptay phir rahay thay.....

KaalaSaaya aka BlackShadow jee toh Asia Cup dekhne nhi wale thay?

 

[Syed1]

Indian fans trying to deflect the impending humiliation by attacking Pakistan )


Small people like IK said.

hahahaha

 

[Plumb]

If Ind loses this ...lots of eyebrows ll be raised

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

8 of 8 balls

another heart break coming up for Afghanistan - I can feel it

 

[Asif321]

Poor from Rashid should five

 

[BlackShadow]

Need to lower arrogance.

Match thread mein itna chalta hai bhai.

If you think that was arrogant, watch [MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] go Super Saiyan once Afgans wrap this up.

 

[Asif321]

Outtttt

 

[Imran Hasan]

Another close defeat for Afghans!

 

[Ozeirk]

India doesn't look like winning the worldcup with this team considering the conditions they will be facing there.

 

[Asif321]

What a game omg

 

[jnaveen1980]

Good fight by Afghanistan. Above average performance.

 

[Imran Hasan]

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

Last match for Sidhart Kaul, time to hang up his boots

He's performed well with both bat and ball today, what a legend

 

[Ned Flanders]

India doesn't look like winning the worldcup with this team considering the conditions they will be facing there.

This is India C.......

 

[K4Kohli]

good game

 

[austerlitz]

Hardly. Rayadu and DK got runs. Dhoni, DK and Jhadav all got out wrongly. Only Pandey failed, that too in his first match.

 

[BlackShadow]

KaalaSaaya aka BlackShadow jee toh Asia Cup dekhne nhi wale thay?

Bhai match dekhna aur ek Cricbuzz tab khula hona isn't the same.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Close

 

[jnaveen1980]

Everything goes wrong for INdia

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

Jaddu will hit a sixer

 

[Ozeirk]

This is India C.......

yes, but this is the bulk of their middle order.

 

[Thomaskutty]

I haven't seen these many runouts since running legend Inzy retired.

 

[Titan24]

This is India C.......

Yeah but other than Kohli you middle order is pretty much same

 

[kuskash]

Another close defeat for Afghans!

They will win.

 

[Syed1]

I hate Rashid Khan but I also want India to lose.... such dilemma

 

[rhony]

Afghans got this!!! They've been the second best team this tournament

 

[szundercover]

Well played india..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Its okay . Let Afghanistan enjoy their win. They deserved 2 wins in the last 2. They deserve atleast one win

 

[K4Kohli]

Nevermid. My mistake

 

[Shutdown Corner]

Will Afghanistan choke at the final hurdle for the 4th time this year and the 3rd time this week?

The next few minutes iwll tell.

 

[saintgrace]

This is pathetic middle order and lower middle order.
