India (199/5) storm into the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 with a commanding five-wicket victory over the West Indies (195/4)

[Human786]

41/2 - game over

 

[RidiculousMan]

I have observed something. India when up against big teams like Australia, South Africa or even Windies at times. Struggle on grounds where boundaries are big.

They cannot match the power of these other teams. Indian batters mostly hit 70-80 meter sixes and on small grounds or in small boundaries like IPL. They are able to clear it. But not on big boundaries like Ahmedabad

 

[DRsohail]

Another pathetic shot.

 

[stani_pak]

KISHAAAN GONEEE!!!

 

[shah9425]

Gone

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Lolololll

 

[sweep_shot]

Ishan is out.

41/2.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Darn.

Thought that was a six.

Kishan gone.

 

[CricVet]

Ek or tulla gya...he was not part of the deal as well I guess

 

[Devadwal]

Abhishek is really a slogger then

Confidence m nhi hai. 17 runs ke bad bhi Marne ki jarurat kya hai.

Kishan gone. Match is done and dusted

 

[stani_pak]

Need to get Ishan out quickly.

He gone brother

 

[Bhaijaan]

OUT

Endians don’t have power to clear the boundaries with ease like big muscle West Indians or Sahebzada Farhan, Fakhar

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Lanat on Pakistani bowling for making these sloggers look good.

 

[sweep_shot]

He gone brother

Awesome.

There's another example of what I'm talking off. Any other big hitter would've cleared that short ball but because it was so quick at it. Kishan needed more power in his shot to clear it.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Yes! Two wickets gone.

 

[jnaveen1980]

THis match is gone. India is collapsing under enoromous pressure

 

[Mas-LFC]

Pressure is on the indians

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Jason holder is a genuinely good guy.

 

[stani_pak]

need 3 more quick wickets

 

[Rajdeep]

Game over...good bye guys.

I am outta here

 

[RidiculousMan]

THis match is gone. India is collapsing under enoromous pressure

Samson is still there. 10 is the req. rate. Small boundaries. This is on.

 

[batandballbattle]

can't keep the big man holder out of the game

 

[sweep_shot]

Indian crowd have gone quiet. No balle balle now.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Ind captain should be humiliated here

 

[Devadwal]

Brainfade batting, take it deep. Run rate is not problem yaar

 

[jnaveen1980]

Uner pressure india is giving wickets to half trackers

 

[Asif321]

Motie spell will dictate the game

 

[stani_pak]

Game is still not done...windies need to get quick wickets.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Sad indian faces is a joy to watch . LOL.

 

[Justcrazy]

Samson is looking good here.

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 45/2 (5 overs).

151 to win from 15 overs.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Soorkumar should be humiliated here

Still better than hagga ji...& Has a few tournament wins to shoevas well

 

[Devadwal]

Pathetic batting , tbey are doing harakiri. Just take it Deep .

 

[Mesozoic]

You can't win a world tournament with the level of fielding that India has at the moment..

2024 we won because of SKY's unreal catch under pressure.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

There's another example of what I'm talking off. Any other big hitter would've cleared that short ball but because it was so quick at it. Kishan needed more power in his shot to clear it.

In the batter stats Ishan had 90 plus innovation, control but 70 odd acceleration/power so that could be the issue.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Lanat on Pakistani bowling for making these sloggers look good.

They are bigger girlies. Our tiktok nachniya meeethe bowlers

 

[rickroll]

India are losing this -- you heard it here first!

 

[batandballbattle]

Game over...good bye guys.

I am outta here

still plenty of batting

 

[jnaveen1980]

Samson is still there. 10 is the req. rate. Small boundaries. This is on.

India is not a good chasing side. Since Kohli left nobody knows how to conduct a chase smartly.

 

[sweep_shot]

Need to get this Samson out. Hitting well.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Lol hahah feminine abhishek crying in the dugout. He has such a crying face.

 

[LongHorn]

Abhishek is badly out of form. Lost confidence in his shots. A few months ago, most of the deliveries he faced would have disappeared beyond boundary. He is done with the team for now.

But Indians were claiming he was better opener than Saeed Anwar

 

[Asif321]

RR is good . WI need wickets

 

[PakFan2010]

Shai Hope's innings looks even worse now.

 

[Asif321]

But Indians were claiming he was better opener than Saeed Anwar

Saeed Anwar got out to Agha and Rana

 

[Asif321]

Samson is key

 

[PakFan2010]

Forde is a much better bowler than Shaheen

 

[Devadwal]

Sky trigger movement complete Gone.

 

[stani_pak]

Forde is a much better bowler than Shaheen

Everyone is better than Shaheen as of late.

 

[CricVet]

Darren Sammy is our agent in India...he may convince the players to break the deal and go for the win flipping the BICC hopes.

 

[Justcrazy]

53. 2

That is the end of power play.

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 53/2 (6 overs).

143 to win from 14 overs.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Indian crowd have gone quiet. No balle balle now.

I will do Indo Punjabi bolle bolle dance after iftar if India lose

 

[sweep_shot]

Windies need a few tight overs.

Get that RRR up to 15.

 

[Devadwal]

Sanju bhai 24-30 hi banata hai bus. Aa gya iska time bhi

 

[shah9425]

Good tidy overs would do the job

 

[sweep_shot]

I will do Indo Punjabi bolle bolle dance after iftar if India lose

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

India without Bumrah looks average side in WCs nowdays

 

[Bhaijaan]

Endians, apke pass power hitters bhi haen ?

Acha ji ?

 

[DRsohail]

Samson has looked good so far.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Samson has looked good so far.

He was playing a tailender not long ago and lost his place in the starting lineup. Its all about confidence.

 

[Justcrazy]

Holder is useless with the ball. India taking toll on him and motoring along

 

[deltexas]

Sky to play a captain's knock here. A very special player

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 67/2 (7 overs).

129 to win from 13 overs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indian fielding is the reason they will exit.

 

[deltexas]

Ind need to just be steady next few overs... firepower left

 

[Champ_Pal]

Good going by India.

Runs are flowing in spite of losing those 2 early wickets.

 

[sweep_shot]

Holder is useless with the ball. India taking toll on him and motoring along

He is a good bowler but this pitch is flat.

He got the wicket of Ishan.

 

[Smbhayi]

Mashallah, for once Sanju is not the first wicket gone.. now don't pls get out since I started to watching (after taraweeh)..

 

[Justcrazy]

WI need wickets to make a come back , India easily getting runs.

 

[pillionrider]

Samson doing what Rohit did in the last couple of years of his career. Maximizing the early overs without worrying about an individual high score.

 

[pillionrider]

Indian crowd generous enough to give a smattering of an applause to the bowler for helping Surya with his laces

 

[sweep_shot]

118 to win from 72 balls.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

78/2

 

[DRsohail]

Clinical stuff. India is chasing it well.

 

[RidiculousMan]

West Indies needed more wickets in the power play. This is an easy chase now for this ground.

 

[DRsohail]

78/2

I remember you always been supportive of Samson.

 

[pillionrider]

I remember you always been supportive of Samson.

Was it in the context of a Pant putdown

 

[batandballbattle]

Windies are a lopsided team
packed with power hitters but the bowling really is too weak
if India lose it will only be because of their own shot selection
