England [149/5] beat India [148/5] by five wickets in the 2nd T20I to level series at 1-1

[B_Positive]

Oh man... Thats Root gone...

 

[Usman Chadda]

They just cant play these spinners

 

[Kaptan]

Root gone!
Not sure if I should be happy or sad.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Root will need to play well and be on strike most of the times when spinners come on. Cant see Hales doing much with them

Are you talking about next match? He's in pavilion already.

 

[B_Positive]

Idea was right for Root but he chose wrong ball to play it...

 

[B_Positive]

Are you talking about next match? He's in pavilion already.

Posted it before or perhaps my stream is a bit slow...

 

[B_Positive]

Root gone!
Not sure if I should be happy or sad.

Be happy mat. If he would have stayed, could have been disaster...

 

[pratiktc]

Morgan was at KKR for a season or 2. He should ideally be the guy who's best placed to read Kuldeep

 

[Sadevdesai]

Root was absolutely Fooled !!!!!

 

[Mainul]

India is an amazing T20 team.

 

[Sam99]

England don't have batsman who can play spin well. Buttler is good but i am going to bet on bairstow to play spin well on this whole tour.

 

[Mainul]

Why India don't play 3 spinners?

 

[Mainul]

It's a domination era of wrist spinners.

 

[Mainul]

Root has become a rubbish bat.

 

[LastManstanding]

Morgan is the real danger man here.

 

[Plumb]

looks like Eng dont have a plan

 

[Sam99]

India will win test series if they play kuldeep and do right team selection.

 

[akki]

Top two sides playing.

 

[Sidilicious]

When both Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav play for India in T20Is, India has won 8 and lost 1
When both Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav play for India in ODIs, India has won 10 and lost 3

Can they keep it up today?

 

[The_Odd_One]

Some teams can't stop choking. Can't take England seriously anymore.

 

[Sam99]

Again kohli wasting review for no reason. He does same when he bats and take review everytime he is given out even if it's plumb.

 

[Kaptan]

Gr8 over by Kuldeep!
Keep on bowling like that wicket will definitely come.

 

[mkyawar]

If England lose its because of bake ball. Got hit for 24. Otherwise India would have scored 135-140

 

[pratiktc]

Need wkts. With 2 overs from Pandya left, rrr of 10 is not going to be a problem

 

[Sam99]

I think only west indies won against us in t20 in last few years. Evin Lewis was slogging both these spinners.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Yes Mr harbhajan the batsman are not reading the spinners hand. We get you.

 

[Kaptan]

Man bowl wicket to wicket yaar.

 

[Oligochaetes]

I think only west indies won against us in t20 in last few years. Evin Lewis was slogging both these spinners.

Like how Hales is slogging?

 

[JaDed]

I think only west indies won against us in t20 in last few years. Evin Lewis was slogging both these spinners.

We have never won against Kiwis, atleast I don't remember.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Just negotiate 3 overs from Kdip n win the game boys.....

 

[Kaptan]

We have never won against Kiwis, atleast I don't remember.

We have won once. In the last series.

 

[Sam99]

We have never won against Kiwis, atleast I don't remember.

Was valid till last year when we won 2-1 against them in home series.

 

[Sachin136]

We have never won against Kiwis, atleast I don't remember.

India won 2-1 against New Zealand last November at home.

 

[Sam99]

Like how Hales is slogging?

I remember 2016 two matche series in usa and 1t20 in 2017 where we lost match but they were scoring easily against our pacers and spinners.

 

[B_Positive]

england grasping the game quitely

 

[Kaptan]

Need wickets

 

[Dingolfy]

This pair is batting good now.They should win it for England unless they go to their old ways and self-destruct. Either ways, it is much more gripping when bowler's have some assistance.

 

[Sam99]

Hales batting really well. I didn't expect this but i guess this is only way atleast he can score against these spinners.

 

[Sidilicious]

England negotiating the spinners well now. Should be Englands game.

Only 2nd T20 match India will lose when both Kuldeep and Chahal play in the XI

 

[Sidilicious]

only 2 overs of spin left. India need a wicket now

 

[Kaptan]

Dhawan! What a catch

 

[Sidilicious]

oh, and out:

 

[Joseph Gomes]

 

[Tyler Durden]

That's a brilliant catch by Dhawan.

 

[Usman Chadda]

England is making these two spinners look better than they really are. Overly stressing on how to play them

 

[Sidilicious]

Kuldeep needs to take a wicket in his last over, or its game over

 

[saintgrace]

92/4 and nothing working. Streaming stopped and cricket sites too. What's going on.....

 

[B_Positive]

Pitch has slowed down, will be difficult for England.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Dhoni making the decisions as captain here. How will Kohli fare in LOI's without Dhoni?

 

[Kaptan]

Man! 2 sixes. Completely changed the match.

 

[saintgrace]

game is gone for india.

 

[Sam99]

England don't have batsman who can play spin well. Buttler is good but i am going to bet on bairstow to play spin well on this whole tour.

Did really well against spinners let's see if he can win this.
EDIT: gone lol

 

[Tyler Durden]

Umesh is going to spoil the party for us despite this brilliant bowling by Bhuvi.

 

[Kaptan]

Bhuviiii u beauty!
Just 3 runs from the over.

 

[the_outsider]

To the people who wonder why Bhuvi is rated so highly by Indians - that with over is a good example why.

Spells like that don't always look amazing on paper but they are still have great impact on the game.

 

[B_Positive]

Now Bumrah will be missed here

 

[Kaptan]

Morgan always has a smile on his face.

 

[B_Positive]

Reverse Swing .... Phewww

 

[the_outsider]

To the people who wonder why Bhuvi is rated so highly by Indians - that 18th over is a good example why.

Spells like that don't always look amazing on paper but they are still have great impact on the game.

Edited

 

[Dingolfy]

Great match.No matter whoever winning at the end, full paisa vasool .More pitches like this please.

 

[Kaptan]

12 runs required from the last over.
Whole credit goes to Bhuvi, if we win.

 

[B_Positive]

Nail biting....

 

[Kaptan]

Six on the first ball

 

[JaDed]

We have won once. In the last series.

Was valid till last year when we won 2-1 against them in home series.

India won 2-1 against New Zealand last November at home.

Thanks my bad.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India badly misses Bumrah in death overs. Bhuvi is just a cannon fodder here.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Ball change after a 6...whose favour will it work in?

 

[bujhee kom]

Hales played that beautifully.

 

[cricketworm]

Well Played England. Game on

 

[Kaptan]

Expected Bhuvi to defend 12 of the last over.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Well played England. Manhandled Kuldeep...blocked the Indian top order. All in all a good game

 

[B_Positive]

England win. Brilliant comeback win. Sets up another cracker in final game....

 

[Oligochaetes]

Well Played England. Game on

Game over u mean?

 

[Sam99]

And our trundler bhuvi can't defend 12 runs lol.

 

[Dingolfy]

Congrats England. Great comeback today.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indian batsmen did not assess the conditions well. They looked like they were going after 200. 170 would have been more than a handy score here.

 

[cricketworm]

Game over u mean?

Sorry I meant series is on. Move on to the decider.

 

[Markhor]

A cracking evening of sport.

 

[troodon]

As expected India are 20 runs short here.

In the end, an easy victory for England.

Hales hit the big shots.

 

[Dingolfy]

And our trundler bhuvi can't defend 12 runs lol.

Plenty of bowlers have gone way greater than 12 in last overs in T20. He is the reason why you got 12 to defend in the first place.

 

[cricketworm]

Still decent bowling by bowlers 148 runs are peanuts nowadays. Terrible top order batting costing game. Well bowled and batted by England.
