Australia (201/7) defeat England (165/6) comfortably by 36 runs to go top of Group B in ICC World Cup 2024

[mominsaigol]

You see boys, what Warner did? That's the purpose of a t20 opener

 

[Human786]

70/1 in 5 & after looking at that delivery scooting , you think AUS should aim for 200 & not be cavalier ?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Head on a rampage now

 

[jnaveen1980]

Very amateur stuff from ENgland. Zero plan

 

[Devadwal]

This is why England player were not played in IPL playoffs? They smashed Pakistan and were feeling very happy.

 

[Human786]

74/2

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Head gone too now bowled by Archer

 

[Kroll]

Fightback on from Eng.

 

[jnaveen1980]

You need left arm seamer against Head.

 

[JattMaula]

70/1 in 5 & after looking at that delivery scooting , you think AUS should aim for 200 & not be cavalier ?

Nope. Aussies will bat in top gear.

 

[Devadwal]

Head gone

 

[jnaveen1980]

WHy did they take this long to do that lol THey provided all the pace to Aussies they made full use of it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sam curran would have been more useful than Wood on these pitches

 

[Kroll]

You see boys, what Warner did? That's the purpose of a t20 opener

But but but you need to anchor the inns otherwise there will be a collapse.

 

[RidiculousMan]

I think they tried to outsmart Australia way too much. Backfired. Now they are back to basics

 

[Human786]

74/2 in 6

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think they tried to outsmart Australia way too much. Backfired. Now they are back to basics

They cost atleast 30 runs extra due to their lack of strategy

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Beautiful sweep

 

[jnaveen1980]

There is no turn. If anything it is very slow.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They need to take Rashid on.

 

[James]

Awful first 5 overs from England, no bowling plan and mentally pitiful. Game gone already imo, unless Buttler or Bairstow etc produces a special.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Finally, better from Wood . Bowling inti the legs, protecting the short boundary at third man

 

[hassan918]

Moeen Ali gets the big breakthrough for England as Warner goes after providing a superb start to Australia with 39 runs off 16 balls.

85/2 in 8

 

[Human786]

Is ENG still in this game ? 97/2 in 9

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Right idea to bowl it wide but Marsh too long and too strong.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Is ENG still in this game ? 97/2 in 9

Australia has a slightly better bowling attack.

 

[mominsaigol]

Australia wins if they get 200, this is not a 200 wicket. Warner and Travis won the game for Australia assuming the mo comes through

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Only 40 off last 35 balls after 70 off first 29. England have slowed it down with pace off.

 

[Human786]

ENG is crap - 111/2 in 11

 

[cricketmania22]

Newer ball comes on nicely to bat. Also England wasn’t ready for the onslaught orchestrated by the Aussie openers.

 

[NeVerMind]

Awful first 5 overs from England, no bowling plan and mentally pitiful. Game gone already imo, unless Buttler or Bairstow etc produces a special.

Did they have dinner with the Pakistan team by any chance? Pakistan team and think thank contagious

 

[jnaveen1980]

Buttler is one of the worst captain i have ever seen lol Can't believe he has won a world T20 with his captaincy skills.

 

[jnaveen1980]

England has one of the most harmless bowling attack. They always try to outbat opposition which they are capable.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Maxwell is still not in rhyythm.Managing close to run a ball innings.

 

[mominsaigol]

Australia too strong. Every batter is 140kph and their bowling weakest link is stark who's still firing that shaheen style unplayable inswing that shaheen can't fire anymore

 

[Devadwal]

Gone . openers onslaught make sure that Australia to score around 200 .
Thats why PP vis very important

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are complemented by exceptional fielders.

 

[mominsaigol]

Yeah also typo, I meant 140 sr

 

[jnaveen1980]

Gone . openers onslaught make sure that Australia to score around 200 .

Yea first 6 overs 74. Next 8 overs 66 runs. Still a good rate. But if they had scored 45 in first 6. They would be looking at 110 in 14 overs.

 

[Devadwal]

Maxwell gone too.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was a sorry innings 28 runs 25 balls.

 

[mominsaigol]

Australia proved why PP is very important and why the MO must be competent to bat overs 7-20.

Pakistan just doesn't have a middle order or PP utilising openers sadly.

 

[NeVerMind]

England bouncing back...Maxwell gone

 

[jnaveen1980]

You can come back even in T20 depending on the opposition depth.

 

[NeVerMind]

Proves that you should never panic when things are not going you way....Pakistan starts panicking even before the match has begun and then continually gets worse as the match goes on...

 

[mominsaigol]

That was a sorry innings 28 runs 25 balls.

Honestly stones need to be promoted to no 4. Really wish they had jake fraser. He'd be key at no 3 more so then Marsh.

But hopefully we see a stones and Tim David carnage

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Aus 149/4 in 15 overs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Zampa will be lethal on this pitch. At the start it looked dry and hard. It seems like the surface is not that hard. Top has come off now.

 

[Devadwal]

One sides boundary are very short

 

[mominsaigol]

Proves that you should never panic when things are not going you way....Pakistan starts panicking even before the match has begun and then continually gets worse as the match goes on...

This is a match between 2 class sides.

Australia refuses to slow down below 9.5RR irrespective of wickets falling and England refuses to back down and keep taking wickets irrespective of getting bashed.

Pakistan in both scenarios either would adopt defensive fielding approaches leading to big scores because wickets wouldn't fall and the batters would eventually gell after settling in, Or they just go into a batting shell and slow the rr to a crawl

 

[Devadwal]

by stonish

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Australia need 210. Has never been chased here. England will need a record chase.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Brute strength. Hitting into the wind, long boundary over cover with a one hand.

Cos Pakistan play with the fear of failure in every match...whenever our so called finisher Chacha comes out to bat, he looks like he is going to soil his pants! Seriously, not one player in the batting line up inspires any confidence when they come out to bat...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia is wimping towards a total.

 

[NeVerMind]

Tim David out cheaply...will impact Aussies getting to 200

 

[mominsaigol]

Tim David out cheaply...will impact Aussies getting to 200

Yeah I'm worried cause wade sucks. Why isn't inglis batting?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yeah I'm worried cause wade sucks. Why isn't inglis batting?

Wade has been fine. Only if he fails a couple of times will they go to Inglis. Also you need a left hander down the order.

 

[mominsaigol]

Yeah I'm worried cause wade sucks. Why isn't inglis batting?

Or maybe not

 

[mominsaigol]

Wade has been fine. Only if he fails a couple of times will they go to Inglis. Also you need a left hander down the order.

Well Australia will need a wade for every shaheen type bowler lol

 

[NeVerMind]

England, who already play fearless cricket, have hired the Man City sports psychologist to help them in their WC campaign...Pakistan desperately need one but doubt there is anyone who can speak their language, both literally and figuratively...

 

[Devadwal]

Bairstow what was that??

 

[Markhor]

India-Australia rivalry continues in form of Nitin Menon Tells Matthew Wade to get on with it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Buttler is a terrible captain. Tactically he is woeful.

 

[NeVerMind]

200 on the cards now...this is the way to play T20 cricket...you keep losing wickets but you never, ever slow down...

 

[Devadwal]

India-Australia rivalry continues in form of Nitin Menon Tells Matthew Wade to get on with it.

Wade played that ball so not sure why he was complaining. He should have left if he was distracted

 

[jnaveen1980]

When you have long boundary on one side you use it. Australia will try to use them whether it comes off or not. They won't be as bad as England strategically.

 

[Devadwal]

This is very good total on this deck

 

[gibsyhesperis]

Buttler is a terrible captain. Tactically he is woeful.

He truly is and now penalised for bowling their overs too slowly.
If he wants to talk to the bowlers all the t8me, then don’t keep

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lots of chatter . Plenty of needling from England today.

 

[PakFan2010]

If Matthew Wade was Pakistani, he would be our best T20 batsmen.

The gulf in class between Australia and Pakistan is huge.

 

[NeVerMind]

That's the other side of the coin that even when getting smashed, the shoulders of the English players never drop, the fielding is top notch, etc.

Pakistan, on the other hand, look like headless bunnies when things don't go their way...

 

[jnaveen1980]

I heard if England loses this they are out? Is it true? because they had a rained out match.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Australia are around 10 runs short imo

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Innings Break

Australia posted 201/7 in 20 overs against England

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I heard if England loses this they are out? Is it true? because they had a rained out match.

Nope

 

[hassan918]

England need a good start to successfully reach to this target of 202 runs.

 

[mominsaigol]

Very difficult chase. Australia is atleast 20 to 25 runs above par. And zampa is gonna cause problems. England fumbled by bowling jacks in the 2nd over tbh

 

[jnaveen1980]

WTH is going on. That is not out. move on guys.
