England (171/9) defeat India (145/9) by 26 runs to register their first win in the 5-match T20I series

[dravidthewall]

Where is shivam dube?

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Kuldeep is first choice spinner for us. Only one of axar and jadeja will play and Axar is ahead at this stages.

Varun fielding is very pathetic so this is big negative for him. you can hide a below average fielder in T20 match but not in ODI cricket

Seems to me like Jadeja is probably a fourth choice spinner in this side. Even after Washington Sundar. Which is why it doesn't make alot of sense to select him. If you are selecting a fourth spinner than he may as well be different from the other three. Being a terrible fielder is a negative for sure but I think what he offers with his bowling outweighs that

 

[Devadwal]

Yes. He should bowl like a Bangladeshi bowler who are unlikely to bowl like agents because they don't get selected in IPL anymore

Bangladeshi agents are already conceded 297 against This indian T20 team few months ago.

They are grabge

This was a question that was raised even without Varun C being the subject of discussion. Too many spinnners knowing well few of them won't play for sure.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Jaiswal defenetely can make it in place of samson.

Samson smashed like three centuries in four matches didn't he? Something like that. That's nothing to scoff at. And dropping him means dropping another batter aswell to include Pant. India is spoilt for choices.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Where is shivam dube?

They just dropped him without any reaosn.

 

[Devadwal]

Where is shivam dube?

In the dugout.

 

[Justcrazy]

Carse gets Abhishek here , to make two down

 

[sweep_shot]

Another wicket.

IND - 31/2.

 

[Devadwal]

What a catch by IPL agent jofra

 

[Justcrazy]

They just dropped him without any reaosn.

With Panday in the XI , Dubey will find it difficult to be in the team

 

[Nikhil_cric]

We are still playing one batter short.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Carse is a bloody good cricketer. Finally a fast-bowler with all-format potential for England, who actually has decent pace too.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India has too many good players for T20. So somebody has to miss out. Parag is another guy who should be a certain starter.

 

[dravidthewall]

IPL agent jofra getting hit by surya

 

[Justcrazy]

India need 124 runs in 90 balls.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SKY is not contributing at all

 

[Devadwal]

One two many shots and sky is gone

 

[Champ_Pal]

One two many shots and sky is gone

He has been failing playing similar shots. He is playing some real brainless shots. THe shots he executes can work as long as the pace is less than 145k's. But when someone is bowling at 150k, there is very little time to adjust and there is every chance that he will mishit his shot.
Same goes for Sanju Samson. They are being hurried into playing their shots and getting out in the process.

 

[Champ_Pal]

SKY is not contributing at all

He is too predictable at the moment. High risk and low reward.

 

[Justcrazy]

India need 110 runs in 78 balls.

Parag is not that good , India has better 20 20 potentials.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Indian skipper failing with the bat shocker

 

[Justcrazy]

England need to keep taking wickets at regular intervals to remain in the game.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Parag is not that good , India has better 20 20 potentials.

He is good. Big six hitter. Exceptional fielder. He can bowl 2 or 3 overs easily. He can totally replace a half baked all rounder easily.

 

[Champ_Pal]

With Tilak gone, its advantage England.

This will test Indian batting from here.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Beautiful bowling by Adil

 

[Devadwal]

Tilak gone .india is in trouble

 

[OldWarHorse]

Parag is not that good , India has better 20 20 potentials.

Parag is an all format batter. He is class

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Don't see India winning from here

 

[Devadwal]

Pandya is showing his ego and experience. Lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

India comitted harakiri. But that is the way they go. Harakiri is part of this side. But team selection is still poor.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Ravi looks absolutely plastered lmao. Drinking on the job as usual

 

[Devadwal]

Pandya with experience becomes more tuk tuk player same like KL.

He needs to Play fearless cricket instead worry about his Wickets

 

[jnaveen1980]

yea India has won 26 out of 28 matches. One loss here and there is fine.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Watching India struggle against genuine wrist spin. Makes me think Pakistan must have either Sufiyan or Faisal in their CT25 squad and they should play vs India

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball turned 5.4 degree. Most teams will struggle against that big a turn.

 

[Devadwal]

Pandya idiot is eating the delivery .

9 of 14.

 

[Justcrazy]

India need 91 runs in 55 balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

India will look to play out Rashid without any risk and attack others.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT
Slow ball gets Sundar.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Team IPL boring me

 

[Devadwal]

Match mujrim - Hardik Pandya .

This js how Mental midgets Rahul played in 2023 world cup final.

Coward player need to throw away from this team

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pandya is ssilently screwing SKY lol Pandya is still not feeling good about losing captaincy

 

[mominsaigol]

Pamdya playing like rizwan .

Overrated team India.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Adil Rashid trying too hard. Just a bilateral t20 bro

 

[sweep_shot]

TEAM IPL is looking good for a loss today.

82 are needed from 36 balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

India need 82 runs in 36 balls.

Rashid has finished his quota.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Oh well India want to make a worthwhile series out of this.

Not bad, good shout!

 

[mominsaigol]

TEAM IPL is looking good for a loss today.

82 are needed from 36 balls.

Like I said, first win was because England were adjusting and 2nd one was due to one hit wonder from varma.

These 2 sides are closesly matched. Indians were hyping their t20 team too much due to that 297.

 

[RidiculousMan]

KP literally lifting balls of Indian players throughout the game. I don't think even India believes in them winning this one as much as KP is. Lol

 

[Justcrazy]

100 up for India.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India left out all the big hitters. Dube, Nitish REddy, Parag, Rinku. Not sure what the plan is here with tehse guys.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pandya following footsteps of Dhoni? Playing too slow in the middle and then leaving too much too late?

 

[Devadwal]

Mumkin ko Namumkin bna de, use Hardik Pandya kahte hain

Lol he is the reason why RRR goes to 15 from 9

 

[Justcrazy]

India need 68 runs in 25 balls.

England will open up this series here with this win

 

[Devadwal]

Dhonisque innings from Hardik Pandya

 

[OldWarHorse]

Can only go so far with a patched up XI like this... Tilak saved us big time last game, wonder why we didn't change the batting

 

[Justcrazy]

Pandya is ideally suited for number 4 in 20 20.

 

[Justcrazy]

Can only go so far with a patched up XI like this... Tilak saved us big time last game, wonder why we didn't change the batting

Its not patched up , Gill and Jaiswal are rested for OD format.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Straight boundaries are longer than MCG here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hardik hits a lovely six , effortless

 

[OldWarHorse]

Its not patched up , Gill and Jaiswal are rested for OD format.

It is though, Bumrah injured, Arshdeep rested. Kuldeep too.. Rinku also should be playing dont know what's going on with him. Sundar for Reddy is a major downgrade also

 

[Justcrazy]

India need 50 runs in 18 balls.

Game not completely over yet.

India will need one 20 run over here. At least 15 runs to stay in the game

 

[Justcrazy]

It is though, Bumrah injured, Arshdeep rested. Kuldeep too.. Rinku also should be playing dont know what's going on with him. Sundar for Reddy is a major downgrade also

Bumrah would have been rested even if he was fit. He will not be used in such bilaterals.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India should have won with this squad. But certainly not this team. Poor team. Entire bottom order is not fit for T20 batting.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Bumrah would have been rested even if he was fit. He will not be used in such bilaterals.

Fair. Shami looked seriously undercooked for the lead pacer role

 

[badsha001]

didn't take the single off the last ball. Gets out on the 1st ball of the next over LOL

 

[Devadwal]

Haha this idiots deserve to be out.

What the hell he is thinking about himself to denied the run in the last over ?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Nice acting by Pandya. Showing full emotion that India were winning this and he just couldn't get this hit.

 

[Ahmed216]

Pandya showing disappointment as if he would have scored 41 off 11.

 

[RidiculousMan]

didn't take the single off the last ball. Gets out on the 1st ball of the next over LOL

Karma

 

[Ahmed216]

Slow pitch costing India again.

It almost did in last game as well

 

[RidiculousMan]

Fair. Shami looked seriously undercooked for the lead pacer role

T20 ain't his format. His specialization is bowling channel seam and swing bowling. That he will show the world once again in Ct like he did in WC23

 

[jamie smith]

pakistan victory feels sweet but indias defeat feels sweeter @sweep_shot

Hardik Pandya paid tribute to Ajinkya Rahane

Anyone know this match losing innings of Rahane?? I can't forget about it .

Semi final 2016 WC? But that was much better pitch. It really was a poor knock from Rahane

Curated slow pitch

India lost.
