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

[KingKhanWC]

First decision correct bowling first babar.

There will be swing , Amir & shaheen can win this match if they perform

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan favourite to win match .

 

[kingusama92]

Won the toss and Azam is out.

So many good things happening right off the bat.

 

[shaz619]

Ravi Shastri wants Michael Buffer’s job it seems

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

During toss
Babar : yeah we gonna bowl first due to moisture on this pitch.
After the match when India will beat Pakistan by 70 runs.
Babar : yeah moisture never left.

 

[Slim]

Ravi shastri is so likeable, if anyone i would wish to be Pakistani coach is him after Gary.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Didn’t even bother to play Saim. Kya yaarrrr

 

[castortroy]

Pak won't be able to chase anything more 100

 

[mominsaigol]

This tickets are extortionate.

Pak fans apart from in the UK don't have that much passion for the game.

It's mainly the UK Pak fans that pack out stadiums

UK has become the best home for Pakistani people in recent times tbh.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not going in with Kuldeep is a mistake

 

[NeVerMind]

Chacha gets another chance to disappoint

 

[Slim]

Pakistan favourite to win match .

Dhoti shivering already started? Bro we just lost to USA lmfao

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I hope we don't play Shadab at 5

 

[castortroy]

Brining imad in doesn't really strengthen the batting line up.

On this wicket, you need a longer batting line up

 

[Mp812]

Babar Azam: We will bowl first because of the weather and moisture in the pitch. The conditions suit us, we have four fast bowlers. We will try to use it to our best. Past is past, we are looking forward to today's match, we are ready and will give our 100%. Always a big game, our confidence is always high for India vs Pak. Azam Khan is resting.

I thought he was resting in the match vs USA as well

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pakistan won the toss and chose to bowl first.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Waiting for the inwinging Shaheen Yorker that goes away for 5 runs at the start.

 

[Slim]

Seriously, why does Pakistan have these blue training kits?
View attachment 144360

Blue color is not owned by India? Pakistan had green blue colored kits as well before.

 

[cricketmania22]

Looks like the stadium is about 85% filled with Indian supporters. Either New York is packed with a large Indian population or the Pakistan fans sold their tickets on the black market after the loss to USA.

Tickets were allocated through a lottery system and Indians outnumber Pakistanis 10 to 1, so it’s obvious you’ll see more Indians. Also Indians are wealthier, so they grabbed tickets from the third party websites as well.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Not going in with Kuldeep is a mistake

Two things went in Pakistan's favor so far.

- Won the toss and opted to bowl first
- Kuldeep is not playing. Chacha shouldn't have trouble now picking wrist spinners.

 

[Rana]

I would have liked to lose the toss and asked to bat first. This isn’t a chasing ground

 

[Dr_Bassim]

So Pakistan chickened out playing Saim again?

 

[shaz619]

Look forward to watching Babar and Rizwan bat today, their style of play perfectly suited for the conditions uh uh uh uh

 

[Local.Dada]

American Indian & Pakistanis in the crowd look like new immigrants .

They trying to hype it but it’s not edgbaston

True however seems more wealthy and educated. Edgbaston type crowd is too blue-collar/ labor types (nothing wrong with that) but I would definitely feel uncomfortable in some sections of such crowds.

 

[Slim]

Didn’t even bother to play Saim. Kya yaarrrr

its good. Babar and Rizwan either live or die by their own sword this time. If we lost against India, we are out of the tournament and so is Babar.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Because the ICC always make sure the Indians get more tickets then Pakistan

you have to get to early login with multiple accounts & try to buy tickets . Indians are more organised & generally want the tickets more.

Only MCG can accommodate all . These are tiny stadiums

 

[emranabbas]

No abrar

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I would have liked to lose the toss and asked to bat first. This isn’t a chasing ground

Do you think its hard to chase here ??

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I would have liked to lose the toss and asked to bat first. This isn’t a chasing ground

Wil be moisture upfront and potentially DL method coming in if it rains again.

Good decision to bowl

 

[BouncerGuy]

@BouncerGuy and @Cpt. Rishwat

No Azam

finally. Yes...

 

[pillionrider]

Blue color is not owned by India? Pakistan had green blue colored kits as well before.

Ok don’t remember seeing that

 

[RidiculousMan]

ICC's website is taking long to load

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

Not seeing Azam Khan on the field should feel like a win for Pakistan fans.

 

[t_kaay]

Babar Azam: We will bowl first because of the weather and moisture in the pitch. The conditions suit us, we have four fast bowlers. We will try to use it to our best. Past is past, we are looking forward to today's match, we are ready and will give our 100%. Always a big game, our confidence is always high for India vs Pak. Azam Khan is resting.

I thought he was resting in the match vs USA as well

Hopefully he "rests" for at least 5 years

 

[kingusama92]

Afridi will be huge here to set the tone.

He needs to get it right from ball one.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kuldeep is one guy who can trigger collapse out of nowhere. So that is a huge gamble. But for India this is not a must win match. Could be an experiment may be.

 

[RidiculousMan]

So Pakistan chickened out playing Saim again?

I most definitely think they went for the safe approach looking at the pitch.

 

[dravidthewall]

In toss time Rohit clearly looks like he is not interested...laughing and discussion with some others while Ravi calling him for talj

 

[hamzie]

why shadab though
i was so happy when people said he was injured

 

[t_kaay]

Rain

 

[shokz1408]

Okay Pakistan are truly in the game now chasing.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wil be moisture upfront and potentially DL method coming in if it rains again.

Good decision to bowl

This is probably the best thing to happen to Pakistan Rain before the match. Overcast conditions. Bowling first.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Rain

but there is no rain there atm... could be incoming.

 

[KingKhanWC]

True however seems more wealthy and educated. Edgbaston type crowd is too blue-collar/ labor types (nothing wrong with that) but I would definitely feel uncomfortable in some sections of such crowds.

It’s about atmosphere, it’s a huge sporting rival match .

British culture is far superior in sporting events , no nation can come close esp when you have sensible uncles in the American crowd

 

[gazza619]

So Azam Khan is resting today. My foot.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Lanat hai yar wesay, but its good. Babar and Rizwan either live or die by their own sword this time. If we lost against India, we are out of the tournament and so is Babar.

For real bro. Not gonna get rid of Babar and Rizwan though no matter what. Could’ve literally dropped Ifti and played Saim even if it was lower down the order. But they wanna stick to their dosti yaari group

 

[pak4life]

Pakistan selection is a shambles. Is shadab now playing as a batsman? If the top three get out early were into the tail!

 

[ExpressPacer]

Kuldeep is one guy who can trigger collapse out of nowhere. So that is a huge gamble. But for India this is not a must win match. Could be an experiment may be.

Yeah and Kuldeep always does well against Pakistan

 

[Croma]

perfect start for Pakistan. now just to get top 3 out quick n end the game

 

[Rana]

Do you think its hard to chase here ??

100%

South Africa actually botched 2 chases with their top order and were bailed out twice by the middle and late order against much weaker opposition.

India will make chasing 130 even extremely difficult here. Plus it’s a continuation of yesterday, the wicket will only get more and more difficult to bat I recon

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Pakistan selection is a shambles. Is shadab now playing as a batsman? If the top three get out early were into the tail!

Our batting is so short. Terrible squad in general.

 

[NeVerMind]

Who does Chacha know in the PCB that he keeps getting picked in the playing 11 after failing, match after match? At least Azam is the son of Moin Khan....

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

India batting first in unhelpful conditions.
If pak get our Top order cheapely, its game over.
It will be a massive struggle. I just feel we nee dto play out the PP with minimum wicket loss and then recalibrate and hit out in the latter overs, keep wickets for the end..
And why do they have akshar Patel when they already have jads? would'nt Kulli been a better choice? but i like that they've gone for shivam and hardik -i feel their kind of bowling will be hard to get away....
Would toss win be a massive advantage for PaK> waqt batayega..

 

[Thephenom]

Hopefully this will be the last time we see the old man, Rauf and Amir in a ICC tournament, and it’s starting to rain

 

[ExpressPacer]

Our obsession with bits and pieces players like Iftikhar, Shahab and Imad is unbelievable.

Can’t believe our tail starts at 3 down.

 

[shamaan]

Kuldeep should have played.

 

[emranabbas]

why shadab though
i was so happy when people said he was injured

Glad he's not injured indias chance of winning has increased by 30%

 

[t_kaay]

you have to get to early login with multiple accounts & try to buy tickets . Indians are more organised & generally want the tickets more.

Only MCG can accommodate all . These are tiny stadiums

Pakistanis by nature leave everything to the last minute and buy at resale. Matches like these have little resale tickets.

 

[shamaan]

Shadab batting at 5.

 

[PakFan2010]

If this is a rain off, the ICC will be crying.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Repeat of previous clash ?

India out for avg score , Babar & Rizwan chase it with 10 wicket win ?

 

[t_kaay]

but there is no rain there atm... could be incoming.

Raining now according to commentators

 

[RidiculousMan]

Our obsession with bits and pieces players like Iftikhar, Shahab and Imad is unbelievable.

Can’t believe our tail starts at 3 down.

There is literally no other middle order batter in the squad except for Azam

 

[emranabbas]

So Azam Khan is resting today. My foot.

He got tired batting 0 for 1 for the past few games so he needs rest

 

[gazza619]

I reckon Pakistan should have dropped 3 more batters and landed the field with 9 bowlers. Silly.

 

[Rana]

Shadab: “when we lost, everyone know we are a very dangerous team”

 

[BouncerGuy]

Raining now according to commentators

Yep. it has started once again now.... man.... this is annoying.

 

[Croma]

Rain arrives

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Repeat of previous clash ?

India out for avg score , Babar & Rizwan chase it with 10 wicket win ?

InshAllah.

A big win, India put in their place and jopefully the damage done to the Pak wrist slitters is permanent.

One can dream at least...

 

[emranabbas]

Pakistan me dhokha de diya shabad was suppose to be injured

 

[Thephenom]

I’ve waited for hours and hours to get tickets for India and Pakistan in England and not been successful added to the fact that the tickets are also really expensive

 

[cricketmania22]

There is no rain after 11:15 AM, so whatever it is right now is a passing shower and it’s light anyway.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Yep. it has started once again now.... man.... this is annoying.

Should clear up. But year potentially it can go for a little long where overs will start to get deducted.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli batting first against Pakistan means he can't stay not out. Whenever he is out India loses. Whenever he is not out India wins.

 

[pillionrider]

Yuck. Some IPL hero Dube is in. Looks like a loser Bollywood wannabe actor
Would’ve preferred Kuldeep. But always liked Axar, so not too fussed though he’ll probably get thrashed.

 

[shamaan]

There is literally no other middle order batter in the squad except for Azam

Could have easily batted at saim at the opening and move everyone down a position.

 

[cricketcricket79]

Not going in with Kuldeep is a mistake

Big mistake. Rohit is going to learn the lesson hard way. No need for both either Jadeja or Axar in this team. He is going with both.

 

[shamaan]

Naseem should open the bowling with Shaheen

 

[globetrotter]

Huge pressure on pak batter on chasing

 

[BouncerGuy]

Amir vs Kohli after 7 long years.... Good to see
