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

[Sirris]

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

India lose anywhere anytime. Easy dilemma to solve.

 

[kuskash]

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

Nothing wrong with either option

 

[BlackShadow]

Want Afgans to win this. Such a shame that the second best side in Asia Cup will be going home after this.

 

[Syed1]

Rohit and Dhawan coming out with advice )

 

[InziRules]

Just hit a 6. Will be a win when they realise they can only tie

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

hahahahahaha

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Jaddu hits a 6

 

[Syed1]

That should be the game

 

[InziRules]

Want Afgans to win this. Such a shame that the second best side in Asia Cup will be going home after this.

They lost to both us and Bangladesh, India C isn't the standard )

 

[Sirris]

Afghan team giving us the pleasure we expect from the Pak team

 

[Imran Hasan]

 

[K4Kohli]

haha wat a game

 

[InziRules]

It's 444444444

 

[Syed1]

Takes single



Big mistake

 

[BlackShadow]

They lost to both us and Bangladesh, India C isn't the standard )

Every single match they played, the victory was well within their reach.

No other side has been this consistent apart from India.

 

[jnaveen1980]

6 given as 4 lol

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

Damn Khaleel

 

[Syed1]

If Khaleel gets out now... this is all on Jadeja

 

[BlackShadow]

Takes a single.

 

[BlackShadow]

A day of glory for Afgans, or a narrow escape for India. Happy with either of the outcomes.

 

[InziRules]

Whatever the result, why would you take a single lol....

This is really what separates Jaddu from being a great. Game awareness at time is shocking

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

Match Tied

 

[Shutdown Corner]

Wow..AFG getting a call against the mighty BCCI. That 3rd umpire is gonna unemployed tomorrow, lol.

 

[saintgrace]

2 ball one run.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Apt end for the match. Its okay

 

[rhony]

Tie!!!! Well deserved.

 

[Rana]

Big boy Rashid could have won 2 games for his country but couldn’t get the job done

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Match tied.

 

[saintgrace]

super over anyone?

 

[K4Kohli]

haha. crazy I say. Entertaining

 

[jnaveen1980]

Afghanistan deserved atleast this for their effort in the last 3 matches.

 

[Imran Hasan]

Tie!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Damn

 

[the_outsider]

After a long time I am watching an ODI end in a tie.

 

[160KPH]

There is super over in this tournament.

 

[DRsohail]

so indian z team could not win against Afghan.

 

[saintgrace]

what have you done jadeja. one run in two balls. common.

 

[Ozeirk]

This will go a long way bringing Pakistan out of their mental state.

 

[Titan24]

With this middle order India can only be a contender for the world cup in their dreams

 

[Tyler Durden]

Jadeja's brain fade moment did it again! He simply can't do it. The CT Final and this one.. One brainless hack..

 

[gazza619]

Omg

 

[JaDed]

Congratulations to Afghanistan tremendous performance

 

[Imran Hasan]

India lost this match!

 

[MMHS]

What a game, well played to both teams. I think, AFG's inexperience cost them 3 wins in Super 4 - at least should have won 2 games out of these 3. Today IND was a bit unlucky with couple of LBWs and a run-out - tie is probably the most fair result.

Great game.

 

[Shutdown Corner]

WOW.

India will smash Afghans in the super over though. Shouldn't have gotten that close...AFG got lucky with that call. If it was BD that would have not even gone to 3rd ump and be given 6 straight away.

 

[topspin]

Afghanistan > Bangladesh

 

[K4Kohli]

This was better than I hoped. I want India to lose to make more noise against Dhoni but that would have given cushion for our Padosi brothers to troll us. This result also makes Afgans feel better after two closely fought matches ending on bad side

 

[Titan24]

so indian z team could not win against Afghan.

Pretty poor bench strength and middle order

 

[Ned Flanders]

9 years ago Jaddu screwed up Indias chances in the World T20 2009.

9 years later he messes up another game.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

 

[gani999]

Only goes to show that Afghanistan = India D

 

[Ned Flanders]

Pretty poor bench strength and middle order

Pakistan is one to talk.

 

[Smbhayi]

Good match.. both team escaped..

 

[Imran Hasan]

There was only one man outside of the thirty yard circle and Jadeja got him!

 

[Josh]

Haha superb match

 

[Third Man]

Very disappointing from the crowd. They should have been on their feet clapping for Afghanistan. You don’t see such matches every day.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jaddu could have tapped and run. But Afghanistan was destined not to lose this match. 3 run outs. India's wated review. You wouldn't expect anyone to win after the thrashing they got in the first 20 overs.

 

[Dios]

Strange batting from Jadeja.

 

[saintgrace]

No super over. So match tied. Afg well played.

 

[ind_win]

Well played Afg. First time I saw them live on Tv. They are definitely #3/4 tied position with BD. Good for the game. Jadeja , like one poster said, should not be anywhere near the ODI team.

 

[Peshwa]

Pretty poor bench strength and middle order

Irony is Pakistani talking ths

 

[InziRules]

Pakistan is one to talk.

We beat them with Imad, Hafeez, Sohail Tanvir, Ahmed Shehzad, Umar Akmal, Ajmal and someone else out.

Pakistan Z>>>Afghanistan

 

[Shutdown Corner]

Afghanistan > Bangladesh

Afghanistan are already eliminated bud.

 

[Ned Flanders]

Jaddu could have tapped and run. But Afghanistan was destined not to lose this match. 3 run outs. India's wated review. You wouldn't expect anyone to win after the thrashing they got in the first 20 overs.

there is no such thing as destiny.

 

[Sirris]

Epic finish.

Afghanistan Team showing more fighting spirit than our Boyz did so far in the tournament.

 

[Snowflake]

I know it's difficult for a Pakistani fan to come to grips with the fact that a single country can have enough quality players to field 2-3 different XIs.

So... still sticking by your claim : ?

 

[JaDed]

Why would there be a super over? Do we have that rule.in ODIs?

 

[Ned Flanders]

We beat them with Imad, Hafeez, Sohail Tanvir, Ahmed Shehzad, Umar Akmal, Ajmal and someone else out.

Pakistan Z>>>Afghanistan

That is still our first string side

 

[the_outsider]

Jaddu could have tapped and run. But Afghanistan was destined not to lose this match. 3 run outs. India's wated review. You wouldn't expect anyone to win after the thrashing they got in the first 20 overs.

Plus that last over 6 which was for some odd reason given as a four.

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

WOW.

India will smash Afghans in the super over though. Shouldn't have gotten that close...AFG got lucky with that call. If it was BD that would have not even gone to 3rd ump and be given 6 straight away.

Afghanistan >>>>>>> Bangladesh. If it was BD it wouldn't go down to the last over

 

[Peshwa]

Well Played Afghanistan
Deserved to win not only ths game but also against Ban and Pakistan
Clearly second best team in asia cup
What a game of cricket

 

[Akki malhotra]

With this middle order India can only be a contender for the world cup in their dreams

we dnt judge rayudu ,jadav etc batsman as per our batting standards. But even these are better than your best batsman guranteed.

 

[the_outsider]

Just embarrassing. Not a single Indian fan here is upset about umpiring because they realize how special the moment is for Afganistan.

But here are some Pakistani fans crying fixing.

Difference in mentality of two sides.

 

[Asif321]

Oh what a thriller haven’t seen odi game tie for quite a long time

 

[ind_win]

This team brings "fond" memories of debashis mohanty, david johnson, kuruvilla - kaul types..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Afghanistan made some mistakes in the first 2 matches. Now they corrected it. Rashid bowled 48th and 50th.

 

[Snowflake]

This was to give you all false hope and belief

seems like it worked

That's what we did when we lost to you twice in a row. Looks like it worked?

 

[rollingstoned]

Umpiring shockers galore, 4 of those dismissals were just unlucky imo. I don't mind though. Afghans deserve it, would not have minded playing them in the final, on evidence of this tournament they are better than the 2 padosis.

 

[Ned Flanders]

Well Played Afghanistan
Deserved to win not only ths game but also against Ban and Pakistan
Clearly second best team in asia cup
What a game of cricket

"Deserved to win" is nonsense.

 

[troodon]

Where are our so called finishers today?

Pandey, Jadav and the greatest finisher ever MSD?

 

[Syed1]

Well Played Afghanistan
Deserved to win not only ths game but also against Ban and Pakistan
Clearly second best team in asia cup
What a game of cricket

Difference is BD and Pak won their matches but India couldn't
