ICC T20 World Cup 2024: Pakistan vs India | Match 19 | Group A | New York | June 9th | Indian Innings

[jnaveen1980]

Ground is packed!

Which is why it is a shame if it gets rained out. Hope the match continues to go ahead. I expect both India and Pakistan to advance through to next round anyway.

 

[Croma]

Virat is walking onto the ground with the bat on his shoulder. Looks ominous.

 

[Barragan]

During his first over - they showed his bowling spell against India couple of years ago. Since then he has lost fluidity and flow to his bowling. That injury really set him back.

Exactly.

Him coming back early from the injury ruined him

You can see the gulf from 21 and now.

Down on pace and doesn't even swing it half as much

 

[speed_thrills]

Virat is walking onto the ground with the bat on his shoulder. Looks ominous.

He is Virat Kohli not Travis Head.

 

[Savak]

One thing that really irks me is bowlers smiling after being hit for a 4 or 6. Unusual reaction. Shows Shaheen Shah Afridi isn’t really taking this seriously.

Or it reflects his mental scaring and lack of self belief against Rohit Sharma. Mentally he has surrendered to Rohit and acknowledges he can't get him out hence the smile to mask his helplessness.

 

[Croma]

Naseem to bowl at Virat. Will be interesting.

 

[JattMaula]

Get ready!

Its on like Donkey Kong!

In five minutes!

 

[BouncerGuy]

Naseem should be the one who can get the most out of this pitch.

 

[BDfanforever]

ICC probably lost millions with all these delays.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Naseem should be the one who can get the most out of this pitch.

If he bowls it full, swing is there but you can go for runs in the pp. defensive is not a choice today

 

[Croma]

Naseem should be the one who can get the most out of this pitch.

Yes. Rauf and Amir might have some nerves after their game against USA

 

[Devadwal]

Seam bowlers are very dangerous on this pitch. India is missing shami very badly.

 

[BouncerGuy]

If he bowls it full, swing is there but you can go for runs in the pp. defensive is not a choice today

Can bring a wicket as well. gotta keep it tight.

 

[JattMaula]

ICC probably lost millions with all these delays.

No. They get to advertise an hour extra.

House always wins!

 

[RahulBose]

India hasn't won anything since 2011. Fitness is always important in sport.

since 2013

 

[Nado_]

The humiliation is to continue then . I told myself I’m not going to watch but here I am just can’t help it even though we know it will end brutally

 

[jnaveen1980]

Naseem should be the one who can get the most out of this pitch.

Almost all bowlers have gotten something out of the pitch. Canada, Ireland, Netherlands. Today extra spicy due to rain.

 

[Kianig89]

India will patiently wait for Haris Spank me Rauf

 

[Savak]

Great shot by Rohit, Shaheen has to be a bit patient , not even Wasim tried to blast a world class batsmen like he does .
There is enough in conditions to get India out but we must ensure patience n focus aggression

Wasim had the ability to put the ball in the same spot and get it to do 3 different things ie inswing, outswing or go straight on. Just look at his spell against India in Perth where he bamboozled Dravid, Laxman and Dighe.

This skill, patience, art of setting a batter is acquired over playing and respecting the longer format of the game for long periods of time. T20 Cricket and abundance of leagues has ruined Pakistani bowlers

 

[Rana]

Virat using a very old MRF

 

[Justcrazy]

India have a better team here , but Pakistan need to be desperate , this is more than India - Pakistan game for them , they have no alternative but to come out all guns blazing.

 

[Kianig89]

SSA had jitters not the most convincing

 

[Kroll]

leaking boundaries

 

[Croma]

KOhli starts with a boundary

 

[shah_1]

What a shot

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Overpitched.

 

[Rana]

Nothing in this wicket so far

 

[castortroy]

Did say pak bowlers won't utilise the conditions

 

[emranabbas]

What a 4 king kohli

 

[boomboomcheema]

Worst start for Pakistan..

 

[Shoaib_khan]

Poor from the outset

 

[Asad T]

Beauty from Virat

 

[Kroll]

OUT

 

[Human786]

12/1

 

[Nado_]

Gentle outswinger

 

[shah_1]

Nothing wicket from Naseem

 

[UzmanBeast]

Naseem needs to bowl his natural back of length.

 

[Kaptan]

Threw away his wicket.

 

[Croma]

KOhli GOoooooooooooooooooooooooooone!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli threw his wicket away

 

[Kroll]

Yeeehawwww

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Lol, Naseem gets a wicket with a terrible delivery.

 

[Barragan]

Why are they bowling so full?

Just bowl on a good length or back of a length

 

[Justcrazy]

Big wicket for Pakistan Kohli departs

 

[shamaan]

Naseem shah

 

[BouncerGuy]

ANd naseem ahs done it...Kohli gone

 

[Devadwal]

Poor shot by Virat

 

[shah_1]

Naseem has lost the zip since the shoulder injury. Not the same bowler anymore

 

[Rana]

Big wicket

 

[PakFan2010]

What a catch from Usman Khan

 

[imshally81]

Gone

 

[MHN1293]

naseem well done

 

[emranabbas]

Oh no wicket gone never wanted kohli as opener

 

[Croma]

Get Rohit early and its game over.

 

[Asad T]

Kohli threw his wicket away

At least he was trying not to waste any time

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Hopefully that will give Naseem some confidence to bowl with some fire, he looks too cautious at the moment.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Take wickets as they come. Tight lines to Pant required.

 

[Kroll]

Rattle some more timber! Remember those 'Demolition in Progress' placards? Invoke the spirit of 1999.

 

[Asad T]

I think its the 2nd time Pak has dismissed Virat in a T20 WC game

 

[shamaan]

Naseem will get Pant

 

[Inswing]

Daammnnnn Naseem

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Thank God he caught it

 

[Justcrazy]

For Pakistan the key is to keep it tight and bowl more dot balls. In 20 20 dot balls matter most end of the day.

 

[kingusama92]

NASEEM!

What a start.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

That's a beauty.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Everyone was talking about seeing off opening overs. bUt that was a dreadful ball. Shot was on. But ball stuck into the pitch.

 

[Rana]

Much better bowler to left handers

 

[Local.Dada]

Nice to see we don't get crap weather only in England.

NYC or that whereabouts is known to have unpredictable weather.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Beauty from Naseem...

 

[BouncerGuy]

Beauty from Naseem...

 

[Kroll]

C'mon no freebies please.

 

[Asad T]

130/140 runs on this wicket will be enough

 

[shamaan]

Absolutely beauty

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

And there's the wide. Unfortunately Pakistan bowlers are just too loose with the new ball.

 

[Croma]

If Naseem gets Rohit.... ufffff

 

[KingKhanWC]

Long hop .

Virat has always been nice to Pakistan

The main man Pak bottle against out , the game is now there to win

 

[UzmanBeast]

Beautiful length from Naseem.

 

[Caved12]

Lol I knew the law of averages would kick in when they kept talking about the scores that Virat made against Pakistan in the previous world cups

 

[JaDed]

Pakistan’s day today Kohli arghhhhh

 

[castortroy]

This is some absolutely awful bowling
