ICC CT 2017, Group B | Sri Lanka [322/3] beat India [321/6] by seven wickets

[troodon]

Hardik again?

He bowled okay.

Kohli does not seem to have faith in Yadav today.

 

[troodon]

I Need to know that too

someone help

It will be good for Pak. That way the group will be wide open. All 3 of India/Pak/SA/SL will have equal chance to qualify.

 

[JaDed]

Rather bowl Jhadav then Jadeja.

 

[Markhor]

Is srilanka winning good for us or Bad for Pakistan.

I Need to know that too

someone help

Think it means it basically turns India vs South Africa and Pakistan vs Sri Lanka into two glorified quarter-finals.

 

[troodon]

That should be it for Jaddu for today. He is too expesive.

 

[MRSN]

I Need to know that too

Very good. Our NRR problem goes away!

 

[letme alone]

Is srilanka winning good for us or Bad for Pakistan.

good and bad if we win next so good
if not sr make point 4
so we r out

 

[Vorador]

I've been dying for a Mathews special for so long

 

[Vegitto1]

Damn! India's "Phast" bowling attack cannot seem to take wickets even if their lives depended on it.

Lankans are resorting to run-outs to oblige the hand that feeds them lol

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

I am happy my favorite team is back in form

 

[JaDed]

Pandya ,seriously what a joke

 

[troodon]

Good bye folks.

This is over me thinks. Have some work to do.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

good and bad if we win next so good

so we r out

Srl will get the phanti of the life time against Safraz men. I watched the SA game in Edgebaston Pakistan looking good to Qualify for the Semi- final. Inshallah

Still not giving away any runs, keeping it tight on this track. Compare this to the phaast ones.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

SL making our group quite interesting

 

[battler]

SL doing this pretty easily

 

[ToeCrusher2]

SL making our group quite interesting

South Africa already made the group interesting after the choke job last night

 

[amvbfm]

Is srilanka winning good for us or Bad for Pakistan.

Depends. We need to win either way. The only way we can get through without winning is if India beat SL and SA. In that case it will go down to run rate and it's impossible to tell who will make it through besides India as the second team.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

sl/ S/a will qualify

 

[Zak_Fan]

Good over from Yadav.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Very good. Our NRR problem goes away!

thanks

 

[member250]

Is srilanka winning good for us or Bad for Pakistan.

Good because then run rate is taken out of picture and last 2 group games became quarter finals.

 

[idrizzy]

Phone was charging, unable tompost but Bhuvi and Bumrah gonna be hard to put away

 

[Anik Sharma]

Go Sri Lankans Go!!

 

[BleedGreen]

If SL win today the next 2 matches from our group will become knockouts.

Whoever wins India v South Africa will qualify.

Whoever wins Pakistan v Sri Lanka will qualify.

 

[IAJ]

First got his partner, who was putting pressure on India, runout, then got himself runout, not sure if well played are the right words for this innings

What are you smoking? He almost scored a century in a preassure situation. Run outs are part of the game.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

South Africa already made the group interesting after the choke job last night

Hey now, at least we didn't lose to SL

Yet to happend though. GO SL!

 

[KingKhanWC]

I Need to know that too

Best outcome, it will make the remaining two games quarter finals, winners go through.

Problem is Lanka will be tough now.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Only a rain threat stands in the way of India's victory, SL doing great with DL I think, but we got great death bowling so if the match goes the full distance, it will be an easy win

 

[Zak_Fan]

India will need some exceptional death bowling now.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Hey now, at least we didn't lose to SL

Yet to happend though. GO SL!

Neither did we , btw pak is ranked below lanka

 

[hisham_ashraf]

They are so good that they could afford to leave out Shami and Ashwin

Leaving Ashwin out seems to be costing India the match

 

[IAJ]

If SL win today the next 2 matches from our group will become knockouts.

Whoever wins India v South Africa will qualify.

Whoever wins Pakistan v Sri Lanka will qualify.

This is England, matches can be washed off, so alot can happen. Run rates are important.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Hope it doesn't rain or saving the specialists for end will backfire.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Only a rain threat stands in the way of India's victory, SL doing great with DL I think, but we got great death bowling so if the match goes the full distance, it will be an easy win

AGreed 9 an over is not as easy chasing as ppl think

Whats the DL par rn?

 

[BleedGreen]

Sri Lanka winning is good for us. It takes NRR equation out of the group and the matches become knockouts

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Neither did we , btw pak is ranked below lanka

Hence the "yet to happen though".

 

[JibranAnsari]

85 in 66. Match getting into the interesting stage.

 

[Syed1]

South Africa already made the group interesting after the choke job last night

It was not a choke job. The only time they were in the game was when they dismissed both Pakistani openers in a space of 2-3 balls. The rest was all Pakistan from start to finish.

 

[BleedGreen]

This is England, matches can be washed off, so alot can happen. Run rates are important.

We are the worst on run rate anyway. So a wash off kills our chances anyway.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sri Lanka winning is good for us. It takes NRR equation out of the group and the matches become knockouts

Pakistan need to win against lanka anyway.

 

[Rayyman]

SL should win from here.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Manjrekar clearly misses visiting Pakistan

 

[Zak_Fan]

Lankan running is not even club-level. Surprised that they have only had two runouts !

 

[IAJ]

Shot Mathews

 

[idrizzy]

 

[Protea Fan]

As long as mathews stays their am not seeing SL losing this he's one of the most underrated player the game has ever seen

 

[IAJ]

India bowling back to where is has allways been. Need to bowl yorkers

 

[Protea Fan]

Awful from umesh,with fine leg up that was a ht me delivery

 

[Zak_Fan]

Wahabesque filth from Umesh.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

It was not a choke job. The only time they were in the game was when they dismissed both Pakistani openers in a space of 2-3 balls. The rest was all Pakistan from start to finish.

I know, I used the word "choke" to trigger the saffer, but you got triggered instead

 

[IAJ]

Rubbish bowling here

 

[IAJ]

Wahabesque filth from Umesh.

Actually he is back to where he allways was.

 

[amvbfm]

The win indicator on tv showing it as 51/49. Haha such a joke. SL all over India and yet India being shown as having an equal chance.

 

[KingKhanWC]

We are the worst on run rate anyway. So a wash off kills our chances anyway.

What's the forecast?

 

[BleedGreen]

75 off the last 10 overs needed with 7 wickets in hand.

 

[idrizzy]

RRR of 7.5. A couple of 12+ overs and SL should walk it

 

[Syed1]

I was told Yadav is unhittable in the death

 

[shravan]

Terrible day from the Indians. The batting wasn't good enough on this flat wicket

 

[Zak_Fan]

Actually he is back to where he allways was.

Despite all the spanking, he is still going at less than 6rpo, which is actually good for the track.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Dont lose wickets to Bumrah and this is a walk in the park.

 

[Rayyman]

Gunaratne and Perera still to come. Only 75 off 60 needed. Should be easy.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

I was told Yadav is unhittable in the death

Who told you that? Bumrah and Bhuvi are great the death bowlers

 

[CricFan2012]

What the feck Yadav

Losing to such a mediocre side

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Wud have better for pakistan if india won today

 

[amvbfm]

75 off 10 with three good hitters to follow and Matthews and Mendis in should be a walk in the park on this wicket. SL however seem to be bent on throwing it away with their running.

 

[CricFan2012]

Shot Mathews

Alla na kare

 

[member250]

Wud have better for pakistan if india won today

if sri lanka wins better. If India wins all three games then even better. But right now SL win is better.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Brilliant bowling.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Falling short !!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Over spoilt by misfield

 

[Zak_Fan]

Jadhav and Yuvi are rubbish in field. Both need to be kicked out.

 

[Rayyman]

Jadhav is an awful fielder

 

[IAJ]

Lols what fielding

 

[shravan]

Kedar Jhadav need to go. Terrible terrible fielder.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This is going to be a tie.

 

[JaDed]

Jhadav would be thrown out,terrible fielder.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

hahahaha44444444444444444444 indian fieldsman cracking up like dry goobar in the wake of the srilankan heat

 

[jagatk]

India need to kick jadhav out until he can get his fielding sorted.

 

[BleedGreen]

What's the forecast?

Very low chance of rain (3%) in the India v South Africa match on Sunday.

Very high chance of patchy rain (85%) in the afternoon in the Pakistan v Sri Lanka match on Monday.
