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

[RidiculousMan]

Australian pacers are reminding me just how big of a miss Naseem is to Pakistan in this World Cup.

 

[Ali Active]

India’s top order will crumble 8 out of 10 times against left arm tall fast bowler.

 

[Devadwal]

Run rate is not a problem but they are chasing every delivery to get out. Really pathetic

 

[7sins]

India commentator still bringing up ipl chase/games

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Come on kohli, Get VK now

 

[Ali Active]

Only Kohli can save india rn

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Bus kar pta h hame Pakistan ka ache se

Wut?

Literally I’m thinking the same

 

[FollowThru]

PCT is unpredictable. But don't agree about engine evaluation of Tal's games, many of his sacrifices have been found to be dubious by modern engines, of course in his era he could confuse his opponents with such wild play. Carlsen once said that among former world champions, Tal would be the easiest for him to beat.

Agreed but still the best chess match of PCT.

 

[Rajdeep]

Test cricket at its best...new ball swinging, old ball spinning, couple of slips, batsman looking to survive.

 

[Devadwal]

Just build a fifty run partnership to back in the game.

 

[Mp812]

All of sudden 200 looks like 300...

 

[Thanos]

But you gotta give credit to Ind and Pak.
These two team can make any game interesting out of nowhere.

 

[7sins]

Bowl not swinging much now

 

[Devadwal]

This is real test of Virat and Rahul .

 

[MMHS]

Not much - trust me. Cricket still is an 80% mental game.

Defending 200, he would have started with a mindset of beating Shoaib’s speed gun record. Aussies have made Indians play almost every ball with occasional one wide, but on fuller length.

 

[FearlessRoar]

India's last match in the 2019 World Cup - 5/3 vs NZ

India's first match in the 2023 World Cup - 5/3 vs AUS

 

[Devadwal]

Australia is very strong mentality team .they give 100% in game big game.

 

[Ali Active]

this game will go down to the wire. expect a thriller today.

 

[7sins]

Australia is very strong mentality team .they give 100% in game big game.

No wonder they have won so many wc

 

[Rajdeep]

This is real test of Virat and Rahul .

No test at all...they failed in last 2 ICC events. So failure in one more is not much of a big deal

 

[Ali Active]

Australia is very strong mentality team .they give 100% in game big game.

So is King kohli

 

[Devadwal]

India's last match in the 2019 World Cup - 5/3 vs NZ

India's first match in the 2023 World Cup - 5/3 vs AUS

Indian fan's world cup dream is over in 3 over. Scary time for us

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

No

But you gotta give credit to Ind and Pak.
These two team can make any game interesting out of nowhere.

Not now. It becomes one sided nowadays.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Australia is very strong mentality team .they give 100% in game big game.

I had predicted in both commentary threads in start, kohli will be key. If anyone can chase this down is kohli.

 

[Ali Active]

can’t blame rohit that was unplayable other two just threw their wickets.

 

[7sins]

India need some runs in the pp otherwise it will become even hard to chase it down as spin will be it more difficult to bat against

 

[MP2011]

Kohli looks so past it

 

[Devadwal]

can’t blame rohit that was unplayable other two just threw their wickets.

Dont watch first 2 wicket . But how was kishan got out . I know he is a heck

 

[Rajdeep]

RCB's Hazelwood against RCB's Kohli

Good battle

 

[SpiritOf1903]

KOHLI gets going Bring Cummins on!

 

[Devadwal]

This shot can give Virat some Confidence

 

[MP2011]

Lol, great shot from Kohli now

 

[Thanos]

Kohli is trying everything to give wicket here.
Oh. What a shot

 

[FearlessRoar]

Josh Hazlewood to Virat Kohli 4 runs, India 16/3

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Another wicket in 5 overs will bring Australia back in the game

 

[7sins]

Bring in Cummins and cam green

 

[Devadwal]

Man when we learnt to play Left arm fast bowlers .

 

[Devadwal]

Cummins comes to the attack

 

[Inswing]

Man when we learnt to play Left arm fast bowlers .

You lost 2 wickets right hand pacer

 

[Rajdeep]

@Indian Fans - I am happy that we are getting a tough game in very first match itself. In most recent ICC tournaments we cruise to knockouts and then get games this these.

This hard game at the very beginning of the tournament will do world of good to the team. So don't lose hope.

 

[Ali Active]

Dont watch first 2 wicket . But how was kishan got out . I know he is a heck

threw his bat at wider ball nicked through to slip.

 

[Devadwal]

You lost 2 wickets right hand pacer

Yes I know but that statement is still valid .

 

[SpiritOf1903]

They need KOHLI very quickly.

Golden arm Marsh?

 

[7sins]

They need KOHLI very quickly

Yeah both kohli and Rahul the key here maybe bring in zampa or Maxwel

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Cummins should take a wicket soon...come on man

 

[Devadwal]

Yes only positive but we need to first win some game otherwise we are not Going in semifinals

 

[deltexas]

If ever there was a time for tuk tuk for klrahul this is the time lol! All the time in the world to tuk tuk away to 200.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

RRR: 4.18

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Jampa should try one over in the powerplay

 

[Runner Up]

First I thought Aussies playing very slow but they were doing it right. The pitch was not a batting friendly so instead of hitting big shots they tried to stay and play as long as they could and consequently they put up some runs on board. Just imagine if it was Pakistan, they might have bowled out in 30 overs and end up scoring only 150. Now Australia have a very good chance of winning this match. So lesson for us is to play according to conditions.

 

[kron]

Rohit is a very overrated stat padder. Check his ko record since 2011

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Make them fish FFS! Stay on fourth stump

@kron hope!


DROPPED!!!!!!LLL NOOOO

 

[Mp812]

@Mp812 hope my “aspiring astrology career” is looking a bit better to you now.

The scores you predicted are way of. However you can become one for sure . cheers

 

[7sins]

Make them fish FFS! Stay on fourth stump

Bhai chill both teams are here to play

 

[Devadwal]

Gill please fit for Pakistan match . otherwise we are doomed

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

1 more wicket here and cake on face?

 

[Inswing]

Rohit is a very overrated stat padder. Check his ko record since 2011

Yes he stat padded in wc 2019 with 5 centuries

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Indian batsmen are flat track bullies.. I tried of tell you

Most modern day batsmen are indeed the same. Indian batsmen's case is even more exemplified because they are so good in flat tracks that when they fail miserably in difficult pitches they get exposed even more badly.

 

[kron]

Prob

Problem is unlike Aussies for whom these indian conditions are like a second home due to ipl, it's still very foreign to us Pakistanis. We don't play ipl

 

[Devadwal]

Gone oh dropped

 

[RehanG]

damm drop.

 

[MP2011]

Kohli dropped

 

[Inswing]

Kohli dropped what the hell

 

[Rajdeep]

Dropped...how can he drop that catch?

Hope Kohli don't throw his wicket next ball like he did in CT Final

 

[7sins]

What a terrible drop

 

[kron]

Yes he stat padded in wc 2019 with 5 centuries

Ko games. Stat padded number one haha

Almost gone

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Did the lights do him?

Keep barraging him with bouncers

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Marsh dropped the match

 

[7sins]

That was a keepers catch

 

[DandyFellow]

Kohli dropped. Poor from Carey actually. Should have gone for it.

 

[Devadwal]

What the hell Kohli is doing? That was 2015 wc semi type shots

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Match missed by this catch miss...

 

[kron]

Another overrated stat padded kohli. Can never perform in Important games against full strength attacks haha. Check his ko record post 2011 too

 

[Saj]

Marsh having a stinker.

Simple catch put down.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

You just dropped the cup son. India will be unbeatable if they win this from 2/3

 

[deltexas]

Still think 200 was 50 runs short no matter how India is batting. Rrr is 4 or so - just need to bat sensibly and all it needs is 1 good partnership for India. Kohli getting a life now maybe is the luck that India needs!!

 

[topspin]

Didn't even get hands on it

 

[7sins]

Marsh having a stinker.

Simple catch put down.

Out for a duck and catch dropped. Australia need head back as soon as he gets fully fit

 

[kron]

What the hell Kohli is doing? That was 2015 wc semi type shots

He is an overrated player. That's why. It's his level. He never performs vs full strength attacks or in KO stages since 2011.

Don't Include 2013.
