ICC T20 World Cup | India v Pakistan | Dubai | 24 October, 2021 | India Innings

[castortroy]

Was there any dew in the england/Windies game?

 

[jattafridi]

Indian cricket team have so many superstars

Easy win for India

 

[MenInG]

Pakistan have arrived:

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Yes Venki Iyer would have been a really useful addition in the squad. But I guess they did not want to really risk debuting him in a world cup.

Yaar, there are times when i thing we are too conservative. We have to throw in youngsters at times.
We soon will have to build a second line for VK, rohit, ash, che pu, jinks, ishant, shami, yadav, saha etc....
this can happen only by taking some calculagted risks at times.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Was there any dew in the england/Windies game?

Score was too low to talk about dew and other factors.

 

[ahmadharis1]

No question about it, I am ready to get hurt again

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

the atmosphere at the ground looks electrifying.
Best of luck to India and Pakistan fans. May the best team of the day win.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

The captains look happy.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Atleast the Indian kit looks good alongside the Pakistani one

 

[Devadwal]

Its time for important toss. whoever win toss, will chose to Field first .

 

[Major]

we are bowling

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan won the toss . it's over for india .damn

 

[Inswing]

Bowling first.

 

[Saurav]

Pak win toss and bowl

Congrats guys this is it

 

[Walawalkar]

Congratulations Pakistan

 

[Major]

Haider has been left out.

Kohli saying we would had bowled first had we won toss

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

the is wrong with them, why arent they chasing

game's already over

 

[Inswing]

India wanted to bowl first too.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

India Batting first

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pakistan fielding. Game over.

 

[MenInG]

Pakistan have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[Major]

the is wrong with them, why arent they chasing

game's already over

how so? WE batted first in 2016.

Eitehr way the record is bad for us.

 

[10sion]

Ok Bangladesh lost. Now to peacefully watch this.

Come on Pakistan!

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

So Haider ALi not playing but Asif Ali playing. Interesting choice.

 

[Devadwal]

Kohli never win any important toss .

 

[CanadianG00se]

Congratulations Pakistan!

Nothing can stop Pakistan from thrashing India now

 

[Abdurmirr]

Every game so far has been won bowling first so that’s in our favour

 

[shah_1]

Babar Azam ney poora ratta mara hua tha ). He couldn't answer properly when Ian Bishop asked more questions

 

[castortroy]

Whatever India get, whether it 180 or 100, pak will struggle in the chase

 

[MenInG]

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli(c), Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah

Pakistan (Playing XI): Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Rizwan(w), Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, Asif Ali, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Hasan Ali, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Afridi

Pakistan have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[Ahmed216]

Want our guys to show a lot of fight

 

[Mesozoic]

Lol lost another toss )

 

[Saurav]

the is wrong with them, why arent they chasing

game's already over

they are chasing

 

[bilawal666]

If Haris Rauf is playing, Pakistan ain't winning this.

 

[Inswing]

Why?

 

[Extra_Cover]

The one good thing about winning the toss is now that even if we lose our NRR will not take a major hit.

 

[castortroy]

Do any pak fans really think pak will chase down whatever India post?

 

[Saurav]

the is wrong with them, why arent they chasing

game's already over

they are chasing

 

[CanadianG00se]

Lol lost another toss )

Kohli have never won an important toss.

Couple hours later we can at least blame the toss for our defeat

 

[Ahmed216]

Do any pak fans really think pak will chase down whatever India post?

Dew or no dew i don't think pak can chase anything above 150. Its gonna be a high pressure chase

 

[Varun]

We need to score 160 minimum.

 

[castortroy]

I don't back pak chasing anything over 100

 

[saeedhk]

Terrible decision. We never learn. We are the worst chasers; we should always bat first no matter what!

Pakistan would not be able to chase 80 runs. It is game over!

 

[Jeetlodil]

Whatever India get, whether it 180 or 100, pak will struggle in the chase

100 - Can that score be imagined for Indian batting line up

 

[Energy]

Asif is absolutely useless in a chase so that's a poor call playing him over Haider. Worst part is that it is a strategic decision.

 

[castortroy]

Yeah we do become mental midgets when chasing. Saying that I don't back Rauf and Co in protecting a score

 

[Devadwal]

We need to score 160 minimum.

175+ otherwise Pakistan can easily Chase .

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Who says IPL is bigger than WT20 ?

Ind-Pak hype is bigger than anything.

 

[speed_thrills]

I don't back pak chasing anything over 100

With this monstrous batting line up Pak should be confident chasing even 200.

 

[reversehook]

Nice to see everyone is expecting their opponent to win.

Good stuff.

Wonder what really lies in hearts.

Its all about who can handle the pressure on the ground, behind the keyboards/screens its all about passing the pressure on

 

[Abdurmirr]

Bowling first is the better choice I reckon.

Even if we start poor with the ball, we will still have moments to pull things back. However if we start poor with the bat and lose 2-3 wickets early on than we're done in the first six.

 

[Mesozoic]

Going in with just 5 bowlers. Huge risk!!

 

[Aman]

Kohli's legacy is going to be the first captain to lose a WC match to Pakistan.

You just know it.

 

[castortroy]

175+ otherwise Pakistan can easily Chase .

Lol pak won't chase anything above 120.

Even if they do, they will be 8 or 9 down in doing it

[Aman]

More than anything, it's a different vibe. Pakistani fans and players not as flustered about this match from what I've seen.

Just seems like the night.

Could be wrong, but just a gut feeling.

 

[bilawal666]

Why?

Because he averages 3 boundaries an over that's why.

 

[Jeetlodil]

Good to see Kohli and Babar laughing and chatting as they walked on to the field. Messages for everyone around

 

[BaankeJi]

Pakistan looking to take advantage of dew. Also take Kohli's chase record out of picture. Can't blame them.

 

[Jeetlodil]

Babar sounded very nervous at the toss speech

 

[praveen]

Goooo India . Win or lose but give your best , boys

 

[Jeetlodil]

Pakistan looking to take advantage of dew. Also take Kohli's chase record out of picture. Can't blame them.

should survive till dew comes now

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Ok pakistan you have 1.5 hours to impress me. Otherwise, I'm switching over to United vs Liverpool at 4.30pm

 

[realitygaf]

So pakistan playing 11

Hafeez out of form for 6 months playing
Shoaib Malik has never performed in icc wc and is now 40. Playing
Asif ali has never fired in international cricket and averages less than 25 and is playing
Shadab has been out of form with both bat and ball for last 6 months and is playing
Haris Rauf has been out of form for last 3 months and is playing
Imad wasim has not played well against the top 5 aides since last 3 years and is playing

Just setting expectations for pakistan fans

 

[Varun]

Kohli's legacy is going to be the first captain to lose a WC match to Pakistan.

You just know it.

Yep, it was good while it lasted.

12-1.

 

[Aman]

Dhoni looked 10 years younger with the new hair cut, the grey is making him look older again.

 

[Smbhayi]

Poor team by india, Pak shouldn't bother to play vs India again if they didn't beat us today

 

[dravidthewall]

Pakistan will win. India can't do more than 140.Dew factor comes in to play

 

[Afzal_K]

Kya yaar everyone is just worried, counter, anti sarcastic, anti reverse comments abt this and that

Chill and watch match yaar

 

[battler]

Yaar, there are times when i thing we are too conservative. We have to throw in youngsters at times.
We soon will have to build a second line for VK, rohit, ash, che pu, jinks, ishant, shami, yadav, saha etc....
this can happen only by taking some calculagted risks at times.

So bhuvi and varun playing. That shows never trust reports. Bhuvi playing, I don't know what kohli is thinking.

 

[Shafi]

Sarfraz should play ahead of Rizwan so we can farewell Hafeez, Malik and Sarfraz after this World Cup.

 

[Mesozoic]

Come on boyyyzz!!




Let's make it 13-0 !!





Show them hell!!!

 

[sharmaji]

Test for India, we are not very comfortable setting up a score, but prefer chasing. Let's see how it goes today. Have to quickly figure out the par score.

 

[Bewal Express]

The right decision by Babar because of how these matches have panned out in the recent past with us batting and not scoring enough

 

[Aman]

Babar sounded very nervous at the toss speech

Didn't see it, just seems different to other games where there's a lot of talk from Pakistani players who end up only spooking themselves and India go on to canter to a win.

 

[Saj]

Only 5 front line bowlers for India.

Something Pakistan should really target.

 

[sharmaji]

Babar sounded very nervous at the toss speech

Babar is generally a soft-spoken person. Doesn't mean he is nervous or shaken. He seemed quite pumped when he was giving the pep talk to the team.

 

[Afzal_K]

only thing I am worried abt is Pakistan's lack of real matches, India team has played IPL and have the experience

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Sarfaraz looks fitter then his 2019 WC outing.

 

[bluevision]

Pandu bhai is playing as a specialist batsmen !?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Lets go Pakistan
