Champions Trophy 2025: Josh Inglis stars with 120* as Australia smash 356/5 to defeat England (351/8) by 5 wickets to win Match 4

[Devadwal]

Smith please score a century. Full support hai aaj mera

 

[jnaveen1980]

Head even can't play kuldeep. Abhishek was handling kuldeep for him

yea.. Head loves Rohit sharma's captaincy.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Smith gone Wood strikes

Game over

 

[jnaveen1980]

Smith gone. SMith is another guy whose reflex is gone llong back. He can play percentage cricket. He cannot play aggressive cricket anymore. Washed up in ODIs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Smith please score a century. Full support hai aaj mera

Aish kar cash na kar

 

[mominsaigol]

Smith please score a century. Full support hai aaj mera

Smith and head are my 2 favourite players currently with Mcgrath, Gilly and Pointing being my all time favourites.

never count smith out in any format. This guy at one point was better then any batter in odi In 2015. Uss kei baad pata nahi kya hoa.

 

[battler]

Looks like Aussies will be getting nowhere near the English total

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wood has been brilliant to watch consistently bowling 150kph+

 

[Devadwal]

Smith you losser. You only Play the test cricket .

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is going to be a massive loss.

 

[Hikaru]

Smith please score a century. Full support hai aaj mera

Promise to choose Pakistan XI tomorrow bhai, just promise us.

Uss ke baad ban ho gaya hai phir aa ke phir se restart kiya

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Worst Australian ODI team I've seen since 2013 Champions Trophy

 

[GLORY OF '92]

This is going to be a massive loss.

Potential of a 200 run loss

 

[jnaveen1980]

Basically another one-sided match loading

 

[mominsaigol]

Uss ke baad ban ho gaya hai phir aa ke phir se restart kiya

In test only, not in odi. He fell off in odi and became an indian basher only. After that he fell off completly in odi.

 

[Rana]

Crowed clearly supporting England

No reactions from them when Australia hit boundaries

 

[jnaveen1980]

Labu playing ODI is an insult to ODI lol This is why INdia's loss in the final will be unforgivable. A rank bad side they lost to thanks to two statpadders.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

So far all the matches have been one-sided encounters.

Hopefully that changes tomorrow

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Crowed clearly supporting England

When 95% of them wanna move permanently to England then that's what you're going to get.

 

[Devadwal]

Worst Australian ODI team I've seen since 2013 Champions Trophy

Australia hasn't won a single match in CT after 2009 champion trophy.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Crowed clearly supporting England

No non-Australian cricket fan willingly wants to support Australia

 

[jnaveen1980]

There is a good chance Pakistan may meet England in the semi final. Wood vs Babar.

 

[Hikaru]

Wood is bowling some serious pace. After a long time I am seeing consistent 152kph bowing in international Cricket.

 

[Devadwal]

There is a good chance Pakistan may meet England in the semi final. Wood vs Babar.

Not going to happen.

India vs South Africa
NZ vs England

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wood is bowling some serious pace. After a long time I am seeing consistent 152kph bowing in international Cricket.

huh? He was bowling faster than this in India.

 

[Rana]

No non-Australian cricket fan willingly wants to support Australia

That’s not true at all

Australia are the GOATs of cricket

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sacrifice.. - Elton john. my fav song

 

[Hikaru]

huh? He was bowling faster than this in India.

Should have mentioned, I don't follow Cricket that much.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Adil Rashid inspired by Danis Kaneria there

 

[jnaveen1980]

Short should hit those balls for six. Why is he rolling the wrist there.

 

[Hikaru]

This is a batta and anything is possible. I won't count Australia out yet.

 

[Devadwal]

Short is playing nicely. Shabhas

 

[jnaveen1980]

Archer is trying way too many variations not executing anything

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is a batta and anything is possible. I won't count Australia out yet.

You need a boat load of bad balls. So far Short's boundaries came only against bad balls. HE didn't really create anything.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Just bowl in the channel and good/hard length. Short is rubbish against it.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Those supporting Australia—I’m surprised they even thought this squad could win the Champions Trophy.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Labu will finish at 50 not out in 50 overs. They could have tried someone else

 

[Rana]

Hayden hates Marnus just like JR hates HHH

@shaz619

 

[jamie smith]

Some serious pace pace from wood.

 

[Devadwal]

You need a boat load of bad balls. So far Short's boundaries came only against bad balls. HE didn't really create anything.

Australia need a hundred runs partnership and game is on

 

[jamie smith]

Hayden hates Marnus just like JR hates HHH

@shaz619

He hates him as much I hate Rizwan.

 

[jamie smith]

Every ball from wood is 150kph+.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Labu, Babar, Rizwan, Imam, Henry nicholls this will be a deadly dangerous batting line up.

 

[Rana]

Big Boss Short

 

[jamie smith]

Aus need a 150 run partnership and a Big Show special to win.

 

[Hikaru]

Adil bhai will be the key player here.

 

[AZulfi]

England is also playing with Depleted side as Bairstow , sam curran and Jordan are not part of this team :

Bairstow is over-rated. Does not do jack outside England.

 

[Rana]

Labu, Babar, Rizwan, Imam, Henry nicholls this will be a deadly dangerous batting line up.

Scarlett Johansson
Sydney Sweeney
Jennifer Lopez
Dua Lipa

 

[jamie smith]

Labu, Babar, Rizwan, Imam, Henry nicholls this will be a deadly dangerous batting line up.

What happened to nicholls?
where did he disappear?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Marnus is fine in this rubbish , unproven lineup.

 

[batandballbattle]

They're still keeping in touch with the RRR despite losing wickets, game is not over yet

 

[Devadwal]

Run rate is not a problem for Australia they just needs wickets in hand .

 

[jamie smith]

Big Show special anyone??

 

[Rana]

Big Show special anyone??

Show
Jonny Inglish
Rizzu Carey

All good batters

 

[jnaveen1980]

Marnus is fine in this rubbish , unproven lineup.

No he is not. He is totally useless. Just a lucky player. He is there for his fielding mostly, bit of bowling.

[Rana]

What was that Punjabi song at the 9th over mark?

 

[FearlessRoar]

While speaking to a sports show on an Indian media platform, Wahab Riaz:

“Being cautious (in the last match) was good, but one has to play to the situation. Obviously, there are two new balls which will swing and you can lose wickets but one has to calculate and build an innings. You need a good start in the first ten overs and then the middle order can take it forward from there. They missed a trick in the last match, but I do not think they will repeat it in the match against India.”

“…We have not been very consistent (with his format) and we have not played many ODIs recently. We have played more T20s and injuries are a reality. Fakhar Zaman was ill earlier and he got a side strain in the first match. Saim Ayub got ruled out before the tournament due to an injury. It does affect the team combination but they have included Imad ul Haq and Kamran Ghulam. We will have to see how the team management uses them.”

 

[mominsaigol]

Short and labu might love these conditons? Who knows, they might win

 

[batandballbattle]

149 runs combined in the first PP, a CT record

 

[Rana]

Context. In this Australian lineup with guys like Short , Inglis, Maxwell (current version), it's fine

 

[jnaveen1980]

Trust me mate this game is going all the way

One big partnership, that’s all it needs

If Maxwell has a day out game on.

 

[mominsaigol]

Trust me mate this game is going all the way

I feel like they should be brave and try Jake fraser at 3 next game. Smith at 4 and labu at 5.

Fraser might enjoy these conditons.

At Pindi 100%

Take the punt

 

[Devadwal]

Good partnership just carry on this momentum for next 15 more Over.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good crowds in making some good noise

 

[Nikhil_cric]

6 wins and 15 losses for England in the last 21 matches they have played .

In that time ,

Carse : 44 average
Wood and Archer : 50 + average

Lowest economy : Archer 5.8

Part timers economy : 6.5 +

This attack is very dependent on Adil Rashid.

 

[jnaveen1980]

First ball dropped chance. But by Rashid's standard that is impossible.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

At Pindi 100%

Take the punt

Just like Pakistan will with Imam and Usman tomorrow

Babar at 3 and Rizwan at 4

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Nice, loud crowd for a neutral ODI.

You'll never find a Test crowd even if PAK plays.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Crowd cheering everything, energy levels off the charts here.

 

[Rana]

Just like Pakistan will with Imam and Usman tomorrow

Babar at 3 and Rizwan at 4

Pakistan are taking the Fraser McGurk punt with Imam

Imam ul McGurk!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Buttler is a rubbish captain. His field sets, bowling rotation everything reminds me or Rohit

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan are taking the Fraser McGurk punt with Imam

Imam ul McGurk!

And all he'll do is Burp!

 

[Kianig89]

Inglis Carey are top class batsmen , don't discount Australia

 

[Kianig89]

Dilly Rash needs to bowl an economic spell , runs already leaking

Inglis Carey are top class batsmen , don't discount Australia
