ICC T20 World Cup 2022 | England v India | Semi-final 2 - Adelaide | 10 Nov | India innings

[rhony]

Struggled with timing all innings. Woefully out of touch

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Sky is in a different zone atm.

 

[90MPH]

This is a decent batting wicket - nothing like the Pak - Bangladeshi pitch on Sunday.

You probably need 170 on this wicket.

 

[Smbhayi]

Gill wouldn't have done any worse than KL Rahul who is a liability at the opening spot because of whom India have been unable to get a good start which also creates pressure on Rohit and others.

Rohit himself is failure and he's already 35+

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Very similar batting to NZ yesterday. Will end 10-15 runs short unless they take risks and go hard. No point playing this way

 

[ex-q-zit]

SKYs performance today will decide whether he can play in crunch situations of WCs or only in bilaterals

 

[jattafridi]

Greatest t20 Batsman Sky is here

200 strike rate

60 runs from 30 balls is coming

 

[Hextro]

Yikes, yet another poor innings by Rohit. If India loses this it will have a really negative impact on how people view him as a player.

Consistent failures when it actually matters is not acceptable.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

SKYs performance today will decide whether he can play in crunch situations of WCs or only in bilaterals

You still have doubts lol?

 

[jattafridi]

England need Kohli and Sky asap otherwise bye bye World Cup

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Rashid is bowling so well here. We miss a spinner like him.

 

[Hextro]

Is Kohli gonna cry and ask for a free hit after that full toss by Rashid? No?

 

[rhony]

That should have been in the stands. Good. Owling by Eng so far

 

[Aman]

Very similar batting to NZ yesterday. Will end 10-15 runs short unless they take risks and go hard. No point playing this way

Was just going to post this, seems just like our innings today.

This Kohli innings could end up being as bad as Kane's if he doesn't accelerate.

 

[JibranAnsari]

India definitely eyeing 180 190.

There is no stopping these two.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

62/2 after 10.
Fair enough

 

[Aman]

Kohli has batted just like Kane this WT20 but has been able to accelerate.

 

[rhony]

India needs to break this opening pair after the world cup. It has run it's course. Both batsmen have similar weaknesses outside off stump. Both go at similar strike rates.

 

[90MPH]

Not sure this is the right strategy by India, cause now they need more than 100 in the next 10 overs. I mean it may work but it’s a big ground so not easy to the straight boundaries.

 

[Aman]

Indian fans should hope they lose this, better they lose here than face Pakistan in the Final and lose.

They're better than India right now. England can beat Pakistan.

 

[Aman]

Not sure this is the right strategy by India, cause now they need more than 100 in the next 10 overs. I mean it may work but it’s a big ground so not easy to the straight boundaries.

Making the same mistake we did, think they've done this against Zimbabwe as well? But England aren't Zimbabwe.

 

[rhony]

Rashid already bowled three. Pant was supposed to take him on

 

[Aman]

India need 100 off 10 overs to get to 160.

Who knows if that will be enough against this England team.

 

[rhony]

Indian fans should hope they lose this, better they lose here than face Pakistan in the Final and lose.

They're better than India right now. England can beat Pakistan.

That's the NZ mentality. India already won against Pak while NZ keeps choking against Pak

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This is excellent bowling by England. Full length slower ball by Stokes. Perfect for this ground.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Kohli should start scoring fast now. He expects the other batsman to take the charge first, this is not going to work everytime.

 

[as-95]

India will score 200 now… kohli and SKY will accelerate now after drinks. Quote me

 

[Geil]

Right now Eng well ahead, keeping the run rate around 6 runs per over.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

666 by Sky

 

[Aman]

That's the NZ mentality. India already won against Pak while NZ keeps choking against Pak

Pakistan bottled a match they had won, do you really think India can take a red hot Pakistan team now?

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

66666

 

[Suleiman]

This will be the test for SKY. So far has been hit and miss when it matters. Let’s see how he plays today.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

444 by Sky

 

[rhony]

Mr. 360 finds a way

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Followed by 44444

 

[Hextro]

This is excellent bowling by England. Full length slower ball by Stokes. Perfect for this ground.

This is pretty straight forward bowling. It's not like they're doing anything special.

They bowl like this every match.

 

[rhony]

Just like that a decent over turns into rubbish

 

[Smbhayi]

Top edge and commies says even finer like he meant there lol. Though last one was a good shot for 4.

 

[Geil]

Ind have a big advantage with Wood not playing as Butler would probably had saved wood overs for Surya

 

[Kianig89]

Standing between a cliff and sky Pakistan fans atm

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

This will be the test for SKY. So far has been hit and miss when it matters. Let’s see how he plays today.

He is a confident batter, shouldn't have any issues against toothless Eng bowlers.

 

[Aman]

First time watching this Yadav guy and he looks good.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Sky gone

 

[rhony]

Lovely bowling by Rashid. Ball is spinning a bit

 

[Aman]

Top edge and commies says even finer like he meant there lol. Though last one was a good shot for 4.

Did he mea to play it like that?

 

[Smbhayi]

Sky gone..

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Sky goneeeeeee big big big wicket

 

[Kianig89]

Adil Rashid it is

 

[Aman]

Kohli 28(25)

 

[Hextro]

SKY hits it into the SKY and gets caught out.

 

[hamzie]

destroy them england please
over rated sky gone

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Brainfaded by sky, failed at big stage

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Perfect opportunity for Pandya and Pant.

 

[Smbhayi]

Did he mea to play it like that?

Not really .

 

[rhony]

Beautiful bowling by Rashid. Nice air and spin. Key wicket this just when India is about to launch

 

[Nikhil_cric]

No left handers in the top order and this is what happens. Congrats to England. Hope they can beat PAK in the final

 

[Geil]

With Surya out, India probably will not get a total in excess of 170

 

[jattafridi]

Omg what a smart bowler

 

[Aman]

Lights out, India.

 

[Aman]

With Surya out, India probably will not get a total in excess of 170

lol they'll have to bat well to get 150.

 

[JimmyGetsBuckets]

Sky is overrated

 

[Aman]

This innings is eerily similar to ours.

 

[DandyFellow]

Excellent spell by Adil Rashid. When he does well England does well. He should have been targeted early on.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Kohli 28(25)

Unlike williamson he vey capable of upping the ante when needed.

 

[Hextro]

Make or break moment for Pant today.

 

[rhony]

20/1 after the 16 run spell in the last game. Top Bowling by Rashid

 

[Aman]

destroy them england please
over rated sky gone

Would you not prefer India?

England would be a lot harder to beat, and man for man are better. Against India you would be favorites.

 

[jattafridi]

Pitch is slow

Even 160 is gonna be hard to chase

 

[Smbhayi]

With Surya out, India probably will not get a total in excess of 170

Would be happy even with 150 now..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Kohli will be under immense pressure now. On the other hand Pandya is trying to get out here.

 

[Aman]

Unlike williamson he vey capable of upping the ante when needed.

If he fails, it's a bad innings.

 

[mrtaim3]

This is the only reason I have never rated SKY higher. He is a good player not a world class as most of are regarding him. He has scored against weaker teams so far in this worldcup.

 

[Kianig89]

Sky got impatient Rashid was in had last over should have waited

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pandya 2(6)

 

[rhony]

Pandya lol.. very very close twice

 

[Geil]

With Surya out Ind need to pace their innings sensibly now,

A total of 170 or more is out of the picture so should bat smartly and not slog all out and lose wickets and end up with 130 to 150

Rather they should aim for a score of more than 150 and bet their hopes on their bowlers to set up the win

 

[Aman]

Pitch is slow

Even 160 is gonna be hard to chase

Both SF pitches have been sluggish.

India might be able to make a game of it if they bowl and field well.

England have done well to take the crowd out of it.

 

[90MPH]

India don’t get 160 this match is gone.

They need to keep playing their shots, no choice because of their slow start.

Like I said this was a wrong strategy from the start - should have attacked the new ball.

 

[jattafridi]

England need Kohli asap

 

[rhony]

This is the only reason I have never rated SKY higher. He is a good player not a world class as most of are regarding him. He has scored against weaker teams so far in this worldcup.

His innings vs SA on that pitch wasn't easy when everyone else flopped. But his shots are risky and he can get out. His role is to score and he got out trying to score
