ICC World Cup 2023: India (201/4) comfortably defeat Australia (199) by 6 wickets

[7sins]

Common bring in zampa

 

[Syed1]

Jub tak Kohli hai India can't lose.

 

[kron]

I'm seeing hate coming out more than logic. If our batsmen are weak, then the lesser said about your batting lineup the better. It feels someone was inherently waiting for such a collapse just to bring out their hate.

I give credit to Indian bowling attack. They are really good. But their batting gets absurdly overrated for some odd reason. I just see too many holes in their games. Who amongst India's top 6 gives you confidence that they will perform when it matters? Apart from Gill I don't see anyone special.

Jub tak Kohli hai India can't lose.

He was dropped btw at 12. This us how he usually gets lucky.

 

[Devadwal]

India 41 -3 in 14 over.
Required Run rate still not a problem

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Aussies wilting in 30° . Humidity must be crazy

I'm from chennai. Trust me, it's crazy humid today. I sweated my life out while playing badminton earlier in the morning . Thank god this is not between March and May. Else players would've had to endure much more difficulty.

 

[LegendAli]

Almost out again haha.

What a joke. This guy is an elite all time great?

183 vs Pak 2012 Asia Cup while chasing 300+, Youtube it.

 

[sindhiboy]

Green bowling better than captain cummins

 

[kron]

We are watching the 50 over WC.

As for the T20 WC, the last thing that happened was

Yea streak will be broken this time. Don't stress.

 

[Nado_]

Maxwell is good at what he does but he normally gets you out by enticing a risk shot. Surely you will want your mainline spinner in?? I mean you’ve got Pandya in next who is not know for long innings , now is the time

In a useless Asia cup. Dint we win the Asia cup that year too?

 

[Devadwal]

You're pretending like no player ever dropped .lol

 

[sweep_shot]

India should win. Target is very small.

 

[kron]

You're pretending like no player ever dropped .lol

Smith often plays chanceless innings though unlike kohli who often always gets lucky.

 

[Devadwal]

Shots

 

[7sins]

Bring in zampa

 

[7sins]

That's why you don't drop his catch he will make you pay

 

[Devadwal]

Four more

[DandyFellow]

Poor captaincy from Cummins. Should have brought in Zampa a bit earlier.

 

[sweep_shot]

Kohli seems to be in good touch.

 

[Rajdeep]

Did you see those 2 shots @kron ?

Kingly display...exclusive for you

 

[pillionrider]

Yea streak will be broken this time. Don't stress.

You're the one who seems absurdly worried that Virat is still out there.

I'm chilling on a Sunday watching the master.

Back to back shots


You enjoying?

 

[7sins]

Cruise MODE [ON]

True easy going

 

[Devadwal]

49-3 after 15 over.

 

[sachin-10dulkar]

If by any chance Kohli is able to chase this. Nobody is stopping him in this world cup.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

IF Kohli is overrated, then Babar must be elite.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

2nd last boundary uff, pure class kohli

 

[LegendAli]

Did you see those 2 shots @kron ?

Kingly display...exclusive for you

What's even the point of calling this poster out?

He's dismissing King Kohli in all his posts, you should know whats going on.

 

[MMHS]

I think game is over with Kohli’s drop - 200 is just not the score to defend when you are to take Virat Kohli out twice… on any surface

 

[7sins]

IF Kohli is overrated, then Babar must be elite.

He's not over rated he's just been lucky today

 

[kron]

Did you see those 2 shots @kron ?

Kingly display...exclusive for you

Yea after being dropped though. Won't get lucky everything. We all know how he delivers for India in KO games.

 

[7sins]

Still no zampa pathetic captaincy by cummins

 

[Thanos]

Maxwell posing more threat than others.

 

[sweep_shot]

Still no zampa pathetic captaincy by cummins

Yeah. Surprised that Zampa hasn't been introduced yet.

 

[Ali Active]

Aus dropped the match

 

[7sins]

You need wickets you should bring in zampa

 

[King_Babar]

India is well ahead in the game with Kohli still being at crease.

 

[kron]

The thing is india allows these players to get exposure in India via ipl. So conditions are familiar for these foreign players. Pakistan don't have that advantage. Otherwise we can easily trouble the Indians too.

Last time we played a bilateral series don't forget Indians, we won 2-1

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Still no zampa pathetic captaincy by cummins

Getting over with some cheap overs to cover 5th bowling option.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

You're pretending like no player ever dropped .lol

True. Fielding is an essential part of cricket as much as batting and bowling. Fielding literally loses matches from winning position and vice versa. Pakistanis of all the people know this more than most as their fielders used to miss lots of opportunities created by their bowlers. It's not VK's mistake that Aus missed the catch. If Aus lose from here, then they were not good at fielding, which is one important aspect of the game.

 

[Runner Up]

Instead of attacking Aus are happy with part timers.

 

[Devadwal]

Maxwell ko kuch jyda respect ni dere h hum .4 over 9 runs

Good pitch. Something in it for everyone. 250 winning score. Variable bounce on offer.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Strac back, interseting that might backfire for aus

 

[7sins]

Do Cummins really think that this match will be going to 45 or 50th over? He's saving zampa overs for what?

 

[Thanos]

It's still Aussies match.
2 wickets more and remaining 5 aren't going to make even if only 80-100 runs required.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Opinions on the pitch guys?

Good one, apart from the occasional variable bounce. It's making the batsmen sweat for runs, finally. They were having it too easy for too long.

 

[Ali Active]

Aussies are ahead still.

 

[7sins]

This is a solid recovery after 3 ducks

 

[Ahmed216]

Opinions on the pitch guys?

A lot in it for spinners. Australia are 1 short

 

[Dr_Bassim]

This is the old fashioned pitch.

Grit and determination are rewarded more than flash and brilliance.

Kohli has got a chance.

He is going to show everyone how its done.

 

[kron]

Aussie fielding is simply superb.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Alright I've been quite for long enough.

This is an absolute farce! How do you recover after being 2-3? How do not continue with Hazlewood after he got 2 wickets in 4 overs? How do you drop a dolly catch and not even get a hand to the ball?

What a mockery of the game. Just hand India the world cup and stop wasting everyone's time.

 

[7sins]

A lot in it for spinners. Australia are 1 short

I think aus fast bowlers have done there job its upto Maxwel and zampa

 

[7sins]

Aussie fielding is simply superb.

Other than that easy drop catch yes

 

[Devadwal]

Opinions on the pitch guys?

Indian two wicket was due to bad shots as those were nothing delivery

 

[Syed1]

Other than that easy drop catch yes

Who dropped it?

 

[DandyFellow]

Opinions on the pitch guys?

Overall, it is a good pitch for a low scoring cricket match. Provides the balance for high scoring games.
However, one thing I noticed that in Chennai, team batting first will have the advantage in the first 10-15 overs of batting. After that, the match will be evenly poised for both teams. The recipe to win here is to win the toss, bat first and play aggressive cricket in first 15-20 overs. After that , crawl to a target.
In 2nd innings, new ball will swing and older ball would be handy for spinners. It would be a challenge for any team to chase close to 250.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Maxwell is a more intelligent spinner than Zampa.

Just my opinion.

 

[Devadwal]

Do Cummins really think that this match will be going to 45 or 50th over? He's saving zampa overs for what?

Match is going to be nail biting finish . whoever won

 

[7sins]

Zampa vs kohli

Starc never wear full sleeves right? Not sure why he is wearing full sleeve shirt today in this Chennai heat

#JustAsking

He's wearing a yellow compression shirt

 

[Asad T]

Who dropped it?

mitch marsh

 

[Syed1]

mitch marsh

Duck and a dropped catch. Having an amazing match lol

Opinions on the pitch guys?

Don’t understand any negative opinion for the pitch , finally something in it for the bowlers a classic 50 over pitch and the best game so far.

 

[Devadwal]

Finally a boundary against maxi

 

[VForVendetta]

Cam Green with his innocent baby pace & nice juicy harmless length has just transferred the momentum towards the Indians who up until that over were going on Misbah template. This is why I don't have much confidence in Cummins's captaincy, he lacks the typical aussie killer instinct. Why the hell has he waited this long to bring Zampa back? 1/3 of the innings is over & both are already settled & relaxed. If they lose today it will be due to this dumb decision & of course the utter brain fade by Marsh & Carey.

 

[7sins]

Game over for aussie

 

[Rajdeep]

Good news for India - KL Looking in great touch

Bad news for India - KL Looks great only 1 game per tournament

He is right, him and test match has a very long history.

[7sins]

Rahul destroyed zampa in that over

 

[Devadwal]

Yes good pitch where batsman are tested. It's not a minefield but tricky pitch

 

[Syed1]

Oof match ended in that over

 

[King_Babar]

He has been completely different player since Asia Cup'23.

The Kohli drop is unforgivable, and your right , if Pandya is in next why didn’t they go for the kill with hazelwood

 

[Zerotohero]

For all experts calling for Zampa earlier ...this over is the answer
