Australia (126/6) defeat India (125) comfortably by 4 wickets to go 1-0 up in the 5-match T20I series

[Devadwal]

Abhi kyun nahi jeet rahe?

It just one game. We dominated in last game but rain saved Australia. Series abhi baki hai.

 

[Rana]

Ask some plastic Pakistani fans who mock the recent wins in Australia under Riz..But anyway...not the topic here so... Will Pass

What recent wins in T20?

 

[globetrotter]

Hasn't swung much. They are getting beaten by pace and bounce

Ball is swinging... that's why aussies choose to bowl... Gill, Samson n Tilak all went to copy AS

 

[saimayubera]

What happened to superior technique of indian players? World champions

Match ain't over yet.

This was the same score in the 2022 Ind-Pak match at the same ground. We saw what happened then.

Pakistan were whitewashed in the T20s

Those are agenda brigades because of Rizbar , everyone knows it.

 

[saimayubera]

Abhi kyun nahi jeet rahe?

Bhai, it's been 6 overs.

Weren't you celebrating in the AC final after 6 overs lol.

 

[globetrotter]

AS 34 in 13 balls on swinging pitch

 

[saimayubera]

It just one game. We dominated in last game but rain saved Australia. Series abhi baki hai.

Its only been 6 overs. Pak celebrated in the AC final and the 2022 T20 WC match and the 2024 T20 WC match early.

We know how all those ended.

 

[Ahmed216]

Won last T20 series in australia, England , South Africa ,NZ

Only team to clean sweep Australia , NZ at their own den

Remember the embarassment at the hands of England in 2022 WC in Australia?
Mostly sides are testing players in bilaterals.

For you to be counted as best start winning tournaments outside Asia and west indies.
Like Australia do. They win tournaments in conditions that are different from home.

Obviously India is a good side but not the best.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Thread is not about Pakistan so I will just close the chat here....

Indian team is in deep trouble though Abhishek is a beast of a player.

 

[globetrotter]

This is why Indian should have played at least 2 practice matches.

 

[Devadwal]

Hazelwood is unplayable here. Fresh pitches and weather makes him more deadly.

 

[globetrotter]

If AS doing gr8 hitting from one end, they u should play sensible Akshar

 

[globetrotter]

5th wkts down, Axar throws his wicket

 

[Usman Chadda]

Current Pakistan team would be proud of this scorecard

Remeber who is World T20 Champion and Asia cup champions.

Everyone play with second string team against Pakistan doens't means the will against India , Australia is almost Full strength team against India ,

India have just lost 2-3 game in last 30 games ( not Exact figure)

India is only team who own the World T20 without losing a single game.

Maybe check some stats before talking nonsense.

Yeah, remember the embarrassment that India inflicted on England in 2024?

What is the point talking about an older WC when another edition has been held and India is the champion.

And what is this Asia and WI qualifier? That is like more than half the cricketing world.

And when is WI Asia or home for India? Just including anything to discredit India lol.

And again making Aussies daddy. They have won only one T20 WC and that too in Asia lol. India themselves kicked out Aus in the last T20 WC.

India is the greatest T20 team ever and is the best team currently.

Best W/L ratio. Most number of T20 WCs. Currently no 1 as well and the world champion.

 

[Devadwal]

Thread is not about Pakistan so I will just close the chat here....

Now Axar is run out. More trouble for us 49/5.

Can we cross 100 here.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Harshit Rana above Shivam Dubey.....

GG is next level

 

[saimayubera]

Pakistani fans like to talk about stuff like 2021 and 2022 while ignoring the actual last edition of 2024 lol.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Gill has been a mess.... Eating Jaiswal's place

 

[Ahmed216]

Lol Axar at 6 in Australia. Must be a joke. Gambhir yet to realise at MCG ball bounces twice more than that in Dubai

 

[globetrotter]

India should score at least 130 to make a contest

 

[Rana]

Hand India the trophy after this match

 

[globetrotter]

Gill has been a mess.... Eating Jaiswal's place

Hez panauti... Gill is not fit in T20 side

 

[Devadwal]

Abhishek faced only 13 balls out of 49 balls so far. Indian batsman should have taken single instead played brainless cricket

 

[Rana]

Gill has been a mess.... Eating Jaiswal's place

MashaAllah

The double standards

 

[saimayubera]

Hand India the trophy after this match

Oooooh look at Rana so salty.

Let the match be over first.

Remember the AC final? Or the 2024 NYC match?

 

[RexRex]

Harshit Rana above Shivam Dubey.....

GG is next level

4D chess from GG, don't doubt.

Always been mediocre. I've maintained that since he started playing for India.

 

[Devadwal]

Gill has been a mess.... Eating Jaiswal's place

Hopefully, the team management will figure this out before the World T20 as India is going to play a lot of T20 matches to select the best playing 11 before the World T20.

Abhishek
Jaiswal

These two are must for opening.

 

[saimayubera]

Always been mediocre. I've maintained that since he started playing for India.

Naah.

He was great in his prime and is a WC winner with great performances in that WC especially vs Aus and England.

Also took the greatest catch in cricketing history.

 

[Devadwal]

@jnaveen1980 Dube winning streak is about ends today.

 

[globetrotter]

If rest batters give stand to AS, he will take India to respectable total

 

[saimayubera]

Aussie Chinese kids supporting Australia.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India needs Pandya desperately. Balance is totally screwed up.

 

[saimayubera]

India needs Pandya desperately. Balance is totally screwed up.

NKR also injured.

But that's okay. Let's see what Rana can do.

 

[Ahmed216]

Salute to this boy AS. Nerves of steel. Can't ignore him in ODI's. Not in this form

 

[jnaveen1980]

India's keep going hard approach is not working in lively conditions.

 

[Devadwal]

Abe harshit idiots singles le le.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Very light weight batting line up with Axar and Rana as specialist batsmen.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Naah.

He was great in his prime and is a WC winner with great performances in that WC especially vs Aus and England.

Also took the greatest catch in cricketing history.

I think he got exposed now.. Bowlers have figured him out and his technique...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Salute to this boy AS. Nerves of steel. Can't ignore him in ODI's. Not in this form

Jaiswal not finding a spot in this line up is a travesty

 

[Devadwal]

I think he got exposed now.. Bowlers have figured him out and his technique...

Not exposed but his reflexes are slow down and it's happens with age. Time to move on after World T20.

 

[AZulfi]

Hazelwood’s day so far

SKY got a test match type good length ball. There wasn’t much he could do

Tilak threw his wicket away. At least asses the pace and bounce of the pitch for 1-2 deliveries before slogging like that

 

[Ball Blazer]

76/5

 

[Devadwal]

76/5

Ohh you're here. Time to remind Something to you in other thread.

 

[RexRex]

That's why Rana was picked.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think India is looking at longer picture. Developing Harshit as a lower order hitter.

 

[AZulfi]

Abhishek lone warrior for India today, showing his class

 

[jnaveen1980]

I would just swap Jaiswal with Gill. Gill is unsuitable for T20. Also SKY's poor form in T20 continues. This is not ideal. Also they need to give Sanju a fixed spot. Can't shuffle him all over

 

[saimayubera]

I think India is looking at longer picture. Developing Harshit as a lower order hitter.

Yup. Once Pandya/NKR come back Rana will go to no 9 and India can have batting till 9.

Or can also bat at 8 if India wants more bowlers.

 

[globetrotter]

What happened to Pandya? Where is he?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yup. Once Pandya/NKR come back Rana will go to no 9 and India can have batting till 9.

Or can also bat at 8 if India wants more bowlers.

ALl round seamers are invaluable options here

 

[jnaveen1980]

Tilak was a tad unlucky today. LIttle rush of blood tried to go after bowling. He is alright.

 

[jnaveen1980]

ABhishek is striking at 200 while reaching his 50 in this situation

 

[Devadwal]

23 ball fifty for World best T20 batter - Abhishek Sharma at MCG. ​

 

[globetrotter]

AS well played

 

[Devadwal]

Abhishek played only single dot ball in his innings so far.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is just a bilateral. Noise is deaftening already. Kohli or No Kohli.

 

[Devadwal]

India missed so many double here. Running is Very important in Australian big ground.

 

[globetrotter]

This pitch have swing n uneven bounce

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not an ideal T20 pitch. Few balls rear up randomly. Especially bowling first is a massive adavantage.

Its fine. These matches are for getting your lineup right.

Very important for Rana to develop well for India's cricketing fortunes for the next decade.

I am surprised Harshit is able to play decently on a juicy pitch. I always though he was a no.9 batsman. He is young. He is working on it i think.

 

[globetrotter]

India will score around 145 runs in 20 overs

 

[saimayubera]

He can actually bat at 8 but might keep him at 9 just to have a stronger lineup.

 

[globetrotter]

Today nobody ready to stand with AS

 

[jnaveen1980]

16.1 overs gone. ABhishek has faced only 27 balls. IT is poor strike rotation by others

They all taken single at last ball of over and denied strike to AS

 

[RexRex]

Lovely shots from the kid.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Striking at 200 while wickets falling down.

 

[Hikaru]

Harshit killed the game with zero strike rotation and keeping Abhishek off strike.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Harshit killed the game with zero strike rotation and keeping Abhishek off strike.

He is a no.8, no.9 batsman Gambhir is grooming as batsman. He doesn't have batting skill that a no.7 needs

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Gill has been a mess.... Eating Jaiswal's place

Anyone not in the team suddenly becomes a million-dollar hype machine and a so-called world beater.
Honestly, there is no real difference between Gill and Jaiswal in T20s, both are pretty much the same.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nitish Reddy, Hardik two big losses

 

[jnaveen1980]

That is applicable when you compare two mediocre batsmen. Jaiswal has a T20 career strike rate of 169 average of 34. He was dropped for no reason. Being a leftie is a massive massive advntage.
