Australia Champions scored 199/5 in 20 overs

Must be a challenging total to chase for India.

Yep Aussies are dominating at the moment, well with Yuvraj and Yusuf Pathan on crease you could expect anything. But I guess the fear of being a bunny is still there. Lol.

59/3 after 8 overs.

I think India may qualify for the semi finals anyway but the goal from their side look to be take the game deep and lose instead of winning.

The Pakistan match has given a psychological scar to the Indian contingent. It’s evident now. They looked quite good before the last game’s hammering. I think they hadn’t expected Pakistan team to take that game that seriously. This whole tournament was all smiles and fun until Pakistan smashed the teeth off our face. It’s actually unfair for the rest of us fans who just wanted bit of fun and harmless exhibition games. Why so serious padosiz?

It is still fun and games for the fans but I think some of our ex-cricketers like Younis Khan take themselves way too seriously. YK still refers to himself as a "senior player". He said we wanted to give the nation something to smile about - as if this game holds a lot of relevance lol!

YK has often been very detached from reality and lives in his own YK world - I think that is kind of showing in this tournament as well. Trust me, no mature cricket follower from Pak gives two hoots about this tournament.

Somehow I think yk wants to remember pak that he is the last captain to win the t20 trophy.

Ci is not bothered about it at all

The Indian team looked pretty tired throughout the event. Might not reach the finals.

I think CI also covered it and it appears majority of people are aware of it as it was nearly a houseful in India vs Pakistan.

Yep they will still qualify but it has been proven now that they still are bunny of the Australian team.

I agree. Beating Australia in World T20 does not matter lot.

Losing in seniors cricket is sign of bunny.

Check overall record bro, especially in finals.

Bunny is not just finals. Also, India have dominated Australia in T20 World Cup matches.

Pakistan Champions playing in this tournament as Indians were expecting seems like a funning swapping of roles. Lol
