[Inswing]

WTH is pant trying to do ?

 

[Hasan123]

Would certainly walk into Pakistan's team ahead of Sarfraz

Easily. Our fans who don't rate him have no clue about batting.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

India has some good talent

 

[Ram Shekhar]

If Pant figures out a method, he will be deadly in all formats..

 

[KingKhanWC]

Aimed at mid wicket...went over mid off )

 

[Kianig89]

Aus and Ind are better than rest of the lot

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Would certainly walk into Pakistan's team ahead of Sarfraz

Ofcourse. Why not?

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Would certainly walk into Pakistan's team ahead of Sarfraz

Indeed sarf has 0 batting merit in the team ,and keeping is just normal.pant can make pak depth better if he were to change allegance

 

[Hasan123]

Like Afridi?

If Shankar was playing , India would have 0 chance.

Pant and Pandya are here to stay for India no matter how much you cry about their selections.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Aimed at mid wicket...went over mid off )

Yeah. That's also talent.

 

[ads101]

lol looks like Pants actually going for it. Not in his best interest, better to show you can bat calmly at the crease given the game doesn't mean anything but pretty happy he's going for it

 

[amirm]

Gone, rohit

 

[AdamM97]

RR. 10.00 now. India need to hit the next gear, they got 8 wickets in hand.

 

[Inswing]

Rohit

Brilliant spell by woakes

 

[Hasan123]

Rohit gone.

 

[ads101]

nooooo

 

[KingKhanWC]

You need to be a good Pakistani fan and stick to analyzing bowling

I dont watch Bollywood T20 so this is the first time I have properly watched him. Just a slogger from what he has shown so far, dont even know if he keeps his eyes open when swinging. :sehwag

 

[Syed1]

Shaba Sharma tu hi hai larkay



Oh no just as I say that

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Sharma gone and india is done now

 

[Sunzi]

.

Scoreboard pressure is overwhelming

 

[Leeon1994]

Rohit becomes a beast after 100?

 

[topspin]

Ofcourse. Why not?

I am actually jealous India has a talent like Pant. A real game changer with a bright future ahead.

 

[szundercover]

Pandya is in.

 

[Kaptain]

Shaw is superior of them all ,noone denies that but problem is he is opner and we have good opening pair thats why he isnt hyped

I'd disagree with this. I believe Gill is by far the best followed by Shaw.

Rohit gone

 

[Zeshan547]

Woakes killing Pak hopes once again, just hate this guy

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Gone

 

[Hasan123]

Yeah. That's also talent.

Shankar best in this tournament is 28 and Pant is on 26 in his 1st game.

 

[AdamM97]

Well there it is.... that’s the match.

Too bad boys, let’s hope NZ batter England in the final game.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Dislocated a shoulder and nicks it.

Clearly only played for his 100, personal records.

 

[Fazzy321]

Game dropped by Rohit

 

[Ab Fan]

That should be the game for England.

 

[Hasan123]

Difficult for India now. Rohit was the key.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Rohit

Brilliant spell by woakes

Some poster predicted 200 in 36 overs haha,who was it...gotta learn about your jyotish vidhya

 

[AdamM97]

Woakes killing Pak hopes once again, just hate this guy

Such an annoying guy.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Last hope for india is pandya...lets see if he can do it for india. Which is really impossible

 

[Technics 1210]

Woakes is Pakistan's nemesis! LOL!

 

[amirm]

Should’ve sent jadhav

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

If Shankar was playing , India would have 0 chance.

Pant and Pandya are here to stay for India no matter how much you cry about their selections.

Just because you worship them I don't have to like them lol. And yeah if they don't perform they will be out of the team too. Remember Pant is playing because Vijay Shankar had a toe niggle.

 

[topspin]

Indeed sarf has 0 batting merit in the team ,and keeping is just normal.pant can make pak depth better if he were to change allegance

Agreed, I wish we had a player like him.

 

[Tiger96]

Over

 

[BaaliSoda]

Two players with loads of potential in the middle, now.

Still a very tough ask for us, would be nice to see fight from these two, though.

 

[pillionrider]

I dont watch Bollywood T20 so this is the first time I have properly watched him. Just a slogger from what he has shown so far, dont even know if he keeps his eyes open when swinging. :sehwag

Didn't watch the test matches?

 

[Hasan123]

Good save by Bairstow.

 

[PakFan2010]

Pant and Pandya remind me of Afridi and Razzaq batting together.

 

[saabir]

Poor planning for chase. Chasing 10 RPO for 15 overs is very very tough doesn't matter how many wickets u have

 

[Inswing]

Ya pant kar kya raha hai

 

[Hasan123]

Didn't watch the test matches?

He's a PCB apologist. He doesn't understand cricket.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Pant lol....

 

[pillionrider]

Things going to plan. Dhoni to finish the job later on

 

[Mueez]

Thala Dhoni, Pandya and Pant.

Surely on their day they can chase this down.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Agreed, I wish we had a player like him.

You may already have player interms of better WC batsman,but i think its same case like dhoni whre sarf is only in team due to his pehchan.. literally any wc in your domestic can bat better than sarf.

 

[AdamM97]

I really hope NZ batter England so that we can qualify for the semis.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Didn't watch the test matches?

I dont watch Indian cricket unless it's world cup or v Pakistan. I'd rather sleep.

 

[topspin]

Just because you worship them I don't have to like them lol. And yeah if they don't perform they will be out of the team too. Remember Pant is playing because Vijay Shankar had a toe niggle.

I cannot wait to see your favourite grandad tuk tuk later in this innings.

 

[Mamoon]

Pant is the best WK batsman to emerge from Asia since Dhoni. He will fly in all formats when the great man retires after the World Cup.

 

[Hasan123]

Just because you worship them I don't have to like them lol. And yeah if they don't perform they will be out of the team too. Remember Pant is playing because Vijay Shankar had a toe niggle.

I don't worship anyone. No need to go OTT. I can see their talent and why they are getting games.

Yes and Pant has already outperformed him in 1 game. They are here to stay for your team so just get behind them.

 

[AdamM97]

Things going to plan. Dhoni to finish the job later on

Let’s hope he does win it for India.

 

[Bilal7]

If anything, this game shows that India cannot chase big targets anymore. They're seriously missing Dhawan and their younger players are not ready to take responsibility. Mr. Army will ensure India play all 50 overs though.

 

[Tiger96]

You guys underestimate scoreboard Pressure.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Pandya with positive intention

 

[pillionrider]

I dont watch Indian cricket unless it's world cup or v Pakistan. I'd rather sleep.

Late nights huh?

Was talking about your team vs India.

 

[AdamM97]

Pant is the best WK batsman to emerge from Asia since Dhoni. He will fly in all formats when the great man retires after the World Cup.

His record in LOI cricket says otherwise. You wouldn’t have said this if Pant was Pakistani, then he would be mediocre.

 

[light]

Gotta feel bad for both pak/bd here. both deserves to play semi - india taking that dream away.

 

[babajee]

If there was ever a day I wanted Pandya to perform....

 

[Hasan123]

These 2 should bat 5 overs or so and then look to accelerate. Game could be lost quickly if they arent careful.

 

[topspin]

You may already have player interms of better WC batsman,but i think its same case like dhoni whre sarf is only in team due to his pehchan.. literally any wc in your domestic can bat better than sarf.

Rizwan should have replaced him and has done more than Sarfraz in the last 2 years with the bat, in last 3-4 months. His wicket-keeping is better, if not better, as he's a lot more athletic diving to his sides.

 

[Mamoon]

His record in LOI cricket says otherwise. You wouldn’t have said this if Pant was Pakistani, then he would be mediocre.

If Pakistan had talents like him, I would be positive about the future.

 

[Tiger96]

Pant is a leg side hack.

 

[Mueez]

Pandya needs to replicate his CT final innings.

 

[Bilal7]

Kohli and Rohit tuk-tukking through 16 overs after the golden-boy recorded a duck was where this game was lost. It was obvious that once that partnership was broken, India would start falling like ninepins.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Report Pant to the Bham RSPCA, killing all our insects out there.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Anyone remember our middle order of Yuvraj, Raina and Dhoni. How many games they won for India. Now compare that middle order to Pant, Pandya and Jadhav now lol.

 

[Hasan123]

Bring Rashid on.

 

[Ozeirk]

The practice session at the beginning reaping fruits lol

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Guys like it or not. India did fight not like us

 

[AdamM97]

Pandya is the only hope, can’t expect anything from Dhoni.

 

[Justcrazy]

Two biggest hitters of India at crease.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Late nights huh?

Was talking about your team vs India.

No sleep is more fun than watching Indian cricket.

Was no need, England crushed India in tests so didn't bother watching much.

 

[light]

Assuming ENG wins vs NZ aswell, what does pakistan have to do to compete with NZ's RR? How much does NZ have to loose by to make their RR look like crap? Is it even possible at that point?

 

[PakFan2010]

The Pant hype is ridiculous.

What a crap batsmen.
