Asia Cup 2022 | India thrash Afghanistan by 101 runs in Super Fours dead rubber

[Champ_Pal]

Fareed should have gotten Pant twice. You cannot blame him if the fielders are dropping dollies.

 

[Hextro]

Afg is such a 3rd class team. Pakistan's team should be ashamed.

 

[Rana]

Farooqi I still have some sympathy for

But not that Fareed guy

 

[Champ_Pal]

Wow

He dropped Pant twice in Fareeds bowling.

 

[Rohan]

Farooqi last over ki pehle do balls pe 6 khayega

 

[Rana]

Fareed should have gotten Pant twice. You cannot blame him if the fielders are dropping dollies.

Yes you can

Overconfident average bowler showing no respect to match winners. He deserves this humiliation

 

[Champ_Pal]

Afg is such a 3rd class team. Pakistan's team should be ashamed.

You are too harsh. Most teams would fold if they lost a heartbreaker less than 24 hours ago.

 

[sam_ahm]

Virat, finally man!!! Well done!!!

I must say Afghanistan punch above their weight against every country except India.

 

[Rana]

Babar Azam Twitter handle guy


Ab sakoon hai?!!!!!


The King is back!!!

 

[Champ_Pal]

One thing is for sure. Kohli is back in form. Haven't seen him play like this in quite a while.

 

[90MPH]

Contrast the attitude the Afghans had yesterday compared it to today.

They were lions yesterday and played like kittens today. We knew what would happen but still it’s a pathetic double standard from them.

 

[sindhiboy]

Been ages since I've seen kohli bat like this.

 

[Rana]

Virat Kohli the opener>>>>>>Babar+Rizwan combined!

 

[Champ_Pal]

Virat, finally man!!! Well done!!! ������

I must say Afghanistan punch above their weight against every country except India.

They did give scares to India before. They are just mentally shot.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Exactly.

Only simpletons will be awed at this innings

Yeah. Kohli was shockingly poor in the last match.

 

[castortroy]

India always smash Afghanistan

 

[Rana]

Man played half the innings and scored 122!

That’s Shane Watson, Jason Roy level!

 

[NeVerMind]

Yeah. Kohli was shockingly poor in the last match.

He is a class player but he was dropped before he got to this 50 and it was against a tired attack playing their second match in two days and in a dead rubber...

 

[Ashmal]

One thing is for sure. Kohli is back in form. Haven't seen him play like this in quite a while.

He played well.

But tbh this was horrible bowling and fielding....the Afghans are just going through the motion.

I'll wait till Virat does it in Tests against a proper team.

 

[ExpressPacer]

The KING is back

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He is a class player but he was dropped before he got to this 50 and it was against a tired attack playing their second match in two days and in a dead rubber...

I agree . I don't rate this knock very highly . Dead rubber against a minnow.

 

[Double Trouble]

Virat King Kholi showed his class today

Lot of long hops given by the afghanis trying best to keep IPL contracts what a shame

 

[IAJ]

Well played Kohli.

Useless Afghan bowlers bowl well only favourable pitches like that of yesterday.

 

[sajsultan]

really really happy Pakistan beat Afghanistan.. otherwise India would have killed the net run rate.. and Pakistan could have potentially lost as I am almost 100% sure they would have suspended asif ali had that game mattered.. now obviously its a meaningless game so they just get cash from him and keep suspension away..

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

100 for king ....

 

[Rohan]

Virat King Kholi showed his class today

Lot of long hops given by the afghanis trying best to keep IPL contracts what a shame

By that logic, SL cricketers must be born rich who don’t need IPL contracts, right?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

8 million tuned in to watch this dead rubber against Afghanistan. The Pakistan match peaked at around 13.5 mill. and that was a live rubber .

Very interesting.

 

[Rana]

Lol at those who say Babar/Rizwan are the same mould of batsman as Kohli )

He is a completely different animal compared to them! He should open every game now instead of no.3

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

By that logic, SL cricketers must be born rich who don’t need IPL contracts, right?

Kohli is a legend and he deserved this 100.

That said, it is a recurring theme for Afghans. Last time same thing happened, Rashid was accurate vs Pakistan and against India he it was all leg stump half trackers

 

[Champ_Pal]

Lol at those who say Babar/Rizwan are the same mould of batsman as Kohli )

He is a completely different animal compared to them! He should open every game now instead of no.3

Rohit and Kohli should open and KL Rahul should come down at No.3 followed by SKY and Pandya. That will be a scary batting lineup.

Go cheer for India at airport when they come back

 

[MRSN]

Agree. Rizwan/Baber power hitting skills are not there.

 

[Rana]

So Rohit back on the field to remind everyone he is still captain?

 

[asfandyar]

Predicted 200+ score for India in IPL audition before Pak v Afg match. Yes India is the best team in Asia, but Afghans need some acting lessons.

 

[Technics 1210]

Wait, Rohit back on the field? He must've been reading PP!

 

[Smudger]

Lol at those who say Babar/Rizwan are the same mould of batsman as Kohli )

He is a completely different animal compared to them! He should open every game now instead of no.3

Babar too scored 120 against a Afg level bowling line up

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Predicted 200+ score for India in IPL audition before Pak v Afg match. Yes India is the best team in Asia, but Afghans need some acting lessons.

Acting lessons won't be necessary. Everyone knows their true nature.

 

[dildilpak]

Welcome back King Kohli! Cricket was not the same with the big 3 not in form (Smith, Kohli, Williamson)

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Go cheer for India at airport when they come back

LOL
Don't worry Asia cup is all about Ind vs Pak, it was 1-1. Toss decided major part of the match.

We will see in Australia cometh T20 WC

 

[shariqnoor]

Seems like Afghanistan only turns up to play against Pakistan. They play like complete minnows against India/Australia/England/NZ.

Always found Nabi, Rashid, Najibullah, Asghar, Zazai to be very respectful to Pakistani players. It's the new breed that is creating unnecessary issues on the field.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Agree. Rizwan/Baber power hitting skills are not there.

They do their job brilliantly and give your bowlers enough to win matches. That is what matters in the end. You do not need Kohli type skill to win T20 games.

 

[MRSN]

money can do wonders.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I have more patience than that. I'll wait until you inevitably crash out of the World T20 or lose your next home test series and then blame your own pitches

 

[Rana]

Babar too scored 120 against a Afg level bowling line up

Who? What? When?

 

[Pakpak]

Hilarious to see them getting smashed

 

[Rohan]

Both openers gone

 

[Smudger]

Who? What? When?

Against SA mate

 

[Rana]

13 all out please

200 run win!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Do em by 200 please

 

[Rana]

Against SA mate

Who were the bowlers that day?

 

[Marooned]

Who? What? When?

Vs 2nd string SA. Account in Afghanistan's painful mental state right now, and it's the same level.

 

[Savak]

Thank God for Naseems two sixes. These Namak Haram Afghans would have done anything to facilitate India's entry to the finals at the expense of Pakistan otherwise.

 

[90MPH]

Welcome back King Kohli! Cricket was not the same with the big 3 not in form (Smith, Kohli, Williamson)

Pointless cheering for India now when they are knocked out.

 

[Smudger]

Who? What? When?

And no need to start jumping after Kohli played one good knock in 3 years. BTW I am a kohli fan but I think you are just going a little OTP

 

[Champ_Pal]

Gurbaz lost an opportunity for IPL audition. He has the talent to play in IPL.

 

[Saj]

At this rate the stadium security might have to be beefed up.

 

[Rana]

India keep picking bowlers who offer nothing with the bat or fielding

 

[Champ_Pal]

Thank God for Naseems two sixes. These Namak Haram Afghans would have done anything to facilitate India's entry to the finals at the expense of Pakistan otherwise.

Harsh words. They are playing to win. Things will be said in the heat of the moment. But calling their entire nation based on a cricket match is too much.

 

[dildilpak]

Pointless cheering for India now when they are knocked out.

Not cheering for India, i just love to see Kohli bat (not against Pak though!)

 

[Marooned]

Loool goes to show everyone can be a lion without pressure.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Afg play like timid kittens against India. I don't want to say it but it does look a bit suspicious.

 

[Sarwar89]

Pointless cheering for India now when they are knocked out.

India seems to play very good cricket the moment they get knocked out of tournaments. Last year in world cup t20, they hammered Afghanistan, Namibia & scotland after losing to pak & nzl.

 

[MRSN]

They do their job brilliantly and give your bowlers enough to win matches. That is what matters in the end. You do not need Kohli type skill to win T20 games.

in T20Is you do need ability to hit sixes at ease which both of them lack. Baber struggles with big shots and Rizwan doesn't have an off side game. It's working for now but I would like to see some power hitter parterning with Baber just to take full use of power play overs which can be decisive in the final outcome oif the game.

 

[Marooned]

Not cheering for India, i just love to see Kohli bat (not against Pak though!)

Why not? Aren't u indian?

 

[Champ_Pal]

Both teams are in a hurry to catch the same plane I guess )

 

[dildilpak]

Why not? Aren't u indian?

Nada, American of Pakistani origin.

 

[Marooned]

Afg play like timid kittens against India. I don't want to say it but it does look a bit suspicious.

Nothing suspicious about it. Come on they literally had a heartbreak for ages last night it's normal they look like zombies rn.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Afghanistan are making it very clear to India they are not interested.

A proper stat padding game this. No fault of India's though.

But an absolute farce this - and absolutely opposite game to the tournament so far.

 

[Ashmal]

Who were the bowlers that day?

The same who whitewashed India in ODIs earlier this year....

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This is a different Afghanistan team.

 

[dildilpak]

Nothing suspicious about it. Come on they literally had a heartbreak for ages last night it's normal they look like zombies rn.

True, they are also playing back to back games. Must be exhausted.

 

[Kroll]

Afghan have chucked it, still shell shocked from yesterday. Switching off.

 

[MRSN]

Harsh words. They are playing to win. Things will be said in the heat of the moment. But calling their entire nation based on a cricket match is too much.

to be honest most of them come across as cocky like they are chosen ones and have no idea how to behave. It's all to do with the culture they have grown up which has not been good for last 70+ years. Civil war, poverty and regional fighting hasn't let them develop into a civilised culture.

 

[Mas-LFC]

I didn’t want India in the final as they won last few Asia Cup, I want new winner. So glad Pak won yesterday because I knew India will thump Afg badly and probably qualified for final by NRR.

Afg the 3rd best team in Asia in t20s? Yeah right!.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India made 200 last time also in the world T20.

 

[Marooned]

Lulz I don't see many crying about toss today. Dubai and all..

 

[jnaveen1980]

T20 ranking is fluid. On a given day teams can upset each other. Bangladesh but for their atrocious fielding would have put SL away. SL got clobbered by Afghanistan and later they beat them in easier batting conditions.

 

[MRSN]

Farce of game. how do we let these mediocre players get to our nerves. have some shame Pakistani batsmen.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

I can see some posters here hating Afg players.
Not good.

 

[Fenrir]

Afghan players have made sure their IPL contracts are safe.
