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

[Unbiased-Fan]

Match is still in critical stage.. Any side can win.

 

[7sins]

Pandya is injured today .don't know how serious is Injury. We will know in 1-2 days

Just a finger injury don't think anything to worry about

 

[Devadwal]

Lol, even the local 'experts'didn't know about the dew, everyone in Sportstak studio were guessing, maybe maybe not.

No everyone know that due will came .when India practising yesterday they were using towel to clean the Ball during catching practice. They know the condition as both team were staying there from 4 day. No excuses

 

[Mp812]

Or India getting smashed by 180 run just like that final . Looking at India today and how fragile they are against seam movement, I would suggest not to get carried away, especially when you get the most easiest life line like Kholi got today.

Did the opener not get a life of no ball in that 180 run game you mentioned

 

[IAJ]

If Babar plays a similar innings in the World Cup even against Afghanistan or Sri Lanka, our fans would rate him ATG.

But Kohli needs to do it on a cold windy day on Dharmshala pitch with banana swing 3 times in the tournament before he can be exonerated from the tag of FTB.

Different ideals for batsmen.

Kohli is one of the greatest chasers ever, Babar is far far behind him.

 

[Devadwal]

And I am talking about commentators.

There are talking about dew

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Still anybody's game. This pitch could slow and make strokeplay mighty tough . It's been seen before

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Rahul in middle order has been a revelation for India. I presume this means sky is out. Iyer is the weak link who can play bounce. Top 3 vulnerable vs left arm high pace. It's a good batting unit but nothing special.

Iyer is high class player against spin.. Currently He is the best Indian against any type of spin. He is must in the team.

 

[Justcrazy]

I don’t think there is enough batting depth. Had Kohli been caught by Marsh, it was hard to expect Pandya last 30 overs to chase in an ODI. That is why Gill at the top is crucial to add another Clutch batsman

Carches are dropped , its part of the game. The end result is 2 points for India and that is what matters , they have beaten a top team.

 

[kron]

Also with Indian bowlers bowling for him who some PPers here assure us are absolute trundlers compared to the raw fire of Shaheen and Rauf

No many of us give indian bowlers lot of credit.they have been brilliant. High quality pace bowlers.

It's the batting that has many exploitable weaknesses in my opinion.

Certainly not trundlers. Proper pacers. Top class pacers.

 

[nosundries]

The game is not sealed yet. A wicket before 150 and its game on

 

[Justcrazy]

Still anybody's game. This pitch could slow and make strokeplay mighty tough . It's been seen before

Indian batters have good game awareness , this is not going to happen .

 

[Nikhil_cric]

8 dots in last 2 overs . Chennai pitch definitely slows. Dew or no dew. This will still be a tough chase. No doubt about it.

 

[Justcrazy]

Iyer is high class player against spin.. Currently He is the best Indian against any type of spin. He is must in the team.

Pandya and Jadeja also there.

 

[7sins]

8 dots in last 2 overs . Chennai pitch definitely slows. Dew or no dew. This will still be a tough chase. No doubt about it.

80 runs required with 20 overs with still lot of batting to come surely its over they will have to collapse to lose it from here

 

[IAJ]

Against any other team Kohli and Rahul would have up the Anty by now

 

[Justcrazy]

8 dots in last 2 overs . Chennai pitch definitely slows. Dew or no dew. This will still be a tough chase. No doubt about it.

Aussies do not have a world beater who can get 3 wickets from no where.

 

[kron]

Hypothetically if say india are 7 down. What is a realistic score Indian tail can make?

For us, I predict 30 to 40 is doable.

 

[Justcrazy]

Against any other team Kohli and Rahul would have up the anty by now, but yeh Australians badhe kamine hain, kuch muft mein nahi detay.

They will try hard , but they are short of runs

 

[sweep_shot]

Kohli is on 60*.

Will he score a century?

 

[7sins]

Aussies do not have a world beater who can get 3 wickets from no where.

They rely on zampa wickets specially in the middle overs. He had a shocker today so for Australia bowling to click zampa in form is must

 

[kron]

Against any other team Kohli and Rahul would have up the anty by now, but yeh Australians badhe kamine hain, kuch muft mein nahi detay.

Also they are worried about weak tail. Bumrah siraj and kuldeep all can't really bat
.aus have Cummins at 8. Can average 12 odd runs

Starc can hit 15 to 20

 

[Swashbuckler]

Shastri said dew is there, but not lot of dew. Earlier this year against the same opponent there was no dew. Anyway had they caught Kohli, we wouldn't even be discussing all this now. In a low scoring match like this, you can't afford to drop catches, especially if the batsman is Kohli, the greatest chaser of modern era.

 

[Devadwal]

What s Pakistan team learnt from today match when they Play here. definitely there dew will came during 2nd innings so what they are gonna do if they won the toss .

 

[Justcrazy]

Hypothetically if say india are 7 down. What is a realistic score Indian tail can make?

For us, I predict 30 to 40 is doable.

Brother India is 3 down , and both batsmen are well set , Aussies do not have Warne , its done.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

One wicket can bring couple of more. So, its still anyone's game.. Fingers crossed

 

[kron]

Brother India is 3 down , and both batsmen are well set , Aussies do not have Warne , its done.

Yea absolutely. No doubt. Just asking. Hypothetically. What is Indian tail capable of scoring. 7 down onwards.

 

[Devadwal]

Definitely there will be some twist in next 4-5 over.

 

[7sins]

What s Pakistan team learnt from today match when they Play here. definitely there dew will came during 2nd innings so what they are gonna do if they won the toss .

Man dew or no dew I don't want to bat second against Afghanistan

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan does not plan or learn , they just want to participate , they have less interest in winning anything. They are more careful version of WI

 

[kron]

I still think win toss bat first. Record suggests so based on the info graphic posted earlier.

 

[Justcrazy]

Definitely there will be some twist in next 4-5 over.

Yes , if the ball starts keeping real low !

 

[kron]

Man dew or no dew I don't want to bat second against Afghanistan

100% absolutely.

 

[7sins]

Our pakistan batsmen will already be 4-5 down before dew comes into play

 

[FearlessRoar]

India at 120/3 at 30 oversIndia need 80 runs in 20 overs to win

 

[emranabbas]

This is indias game for defo

 

[Nikhil_cric]

India could only manage 96 runs in last 20 overs of Chennai ODI earlier this year . And that pitch was better than this. OZ still well in it.

 

[7sins]

Maxwell really bowled well he will give 10 overs in every match by the looks of it

 

[WengerOut]

India need SA level choke to lose from here.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

80 runs required with 20 overs with still lot of batting to come surely its over they will have to collapse to lose it from here

You have no idea how tough this pitch can get while chasing .

 

[kron]

I am not very pleased with these ball changes. I think changing balls can induce wickets randomly. Noticed England started this trend to pick up wickets after complaining about the condition of the ball.

 

[7sins]

Last roll of the dice starc back

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Even 5 RPO can be tough to maintain.

 

[nosundries]

Carches are dropped , its part of the game. The end result is 2 points for India and that is what matters , they have beaten a top team.

Absolutely. I agree that in the end the result matters but in such a format where you play 9 more games to qualify , you gotta realise that you almost had a big chink in your armour exposed in the first game.

Just an outlandish thought will be to open with Rahul who has been doing well in the middle order but get a left handed in form of Kishan in you middle order vs Afghanistan to counter the leg spin.

 

[MMHS]

Man dew or no dew I don't want to bat second against Afghanistan

Not much difference- AFG spinners won’t be threatening unless there is a score board pressure. In fact, the most feared player for AFG is the hack Gurbaz. Batting first, he can slog around his way to a big score in quick time & then the spinners come in play.

 

[Justcrazy]

124 runs partnership , very solid one. This is how top teams come out of mess.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

20 million watching on Hotstar. Wow

 

[7sins]

Even 5 RPO can be tough to maintain.

They just need 3.9 an over

 

[Technics 1210]

Indian TVs survive!

India will go with same team , when Gill is back , Ishan will be dropped.

 

[7sins]

20 million watching on Hotstar. Wow

Ofcourse world cup game no joke

 

[kron]

Starc low on pace today

 

[Dr_Bassim]

People are underestimating the World Cup pressure of all the games.

Pakistan scored 286 vs Netherlands and successfully defended it. Sri Lanka were never chasing 400 plus.

If you score 300 in any game of the World Cup you are probably 70 percent home.

The only anamoly of Eng vs NZ is because England bowling attack is the weakest attack of the tournament, worse than Pakistan and Netherlands and they are unlikely to defend anything.

Bat first and win the match.

But if you bat first and score underpar like Afghanistan and Australia, you wont be winning.

 

[7sins]

Starc low on pace today

Yeah and people say Shaheen is bowling at a low speed. Starc is bowling at 138

 

[Devadwal]

Super shot from Rahul

 

[Swashbuckler]

If Rahul gets his head in order, he can be such an asset.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They just need 3.9 an over

Yeah but one wicket goes and new batters will struggle. India need to finish it faster. Chases have to be front ended in Chennai. Hard to chase at the back end.

 

[kron]

India will go with same team , when Gill is back , Ishan will be dropped.

If india were smart they would swap iyer for kishan. Iyer is weak vs bounce and pace.

 

[7sins]

After that drop catch they have created 0 chances

 

[kron]

Starc 133- 140 today after 4 overs.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Ofcourse world cup game no joke

Should make people realise that ODIs are nowhere near dead.

 

[Devadwal]

Indian TVs survive!

Yes indian tv survive but Pakistan tv is not going to survive on 14 Oct

 

[7sins]

Should make people realise that ODIs are nowhere near dead.

I think but people don't come to stadiums to watch 50 overs game. 20 overs fills the stadium as it's much shorter game

 

[7sins]

Yes indian tv survive but Pakistan tv is not going to survive on 14 Oct

We already know we are losing that one thats one sri lanka match is very crucial for us

 

[Devadwal]

Lovely extra cover boundary by king

 

[WengerOut]

Of all the Asian sides, only SL got a raw deal in the first round. Having to play a gun batting side on a flat pitch in a small ground. They would have been all over SA on a pitch like Chennai.

 

[7sins]

Zampa going 7 an over in this wicket

 

[kron]

Yes indian tv survive but Pakistan tv is not going to survive on 14 Oct

Anything is possible. We have the bowlers to take early wickets and put india under pressure to expose tail

 

[DJhant]

Ishan Kishan 0(1)
Rohit Sharma 0(6)
Shreyas Iyer 0(2)

3 Golden Ducks for India

India - 2/3

Only 1 golden duck I guess

 

[sindhiboy]

Yet another match where the pitch has eased out in the 2nd innings. Bowling first seems to give a massive advantage

 

[7sins]

Of all the Asian sides, only SL got a raw deal in the first round. Having to play a gun batting side on a flat pitch in a small ground. They would have been all over SA on a pitch like Chennai.

And out of all the teams pak have to ply against Afghanistan in Chennai what a master stroke by the scheduling team

 

[DJhant]

No everyone know that due will came .when India practising yesterday they were using towel to clean the Ball during catching practice. They know the condition as both team were staying there from 4 day. No excuses

I think dew was always due

 

[Devadwal]

Rahul easy . don't take risk as money is still there

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia will be kicking themselves for not batting better and getting another 30 - 40 runs

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Of all the Asian sides, only SL got a raw deal in the first round. Having to play a gun batting side on a flat pitch in a small ground. They would have been all over SA on a pitch like Chennai.

Only if SA were chasing.

 

[Aseem_Khan]

Kohli Is goat in ODIs and t20s and whole world acknowledge it. Wasim Akram to Viv Richard ,Lara ,Aussies who don't generally Rate someone if that particularly haven't done great against them , Admire and accolade for Kohli. Those who are saying he hasn't done in Ko matches then watch' T20 2016 ,T20 2014 he single Handley won us Qf and semifinals also he made 35 in 2011 wc final , Made runs in CT 2013 final. Finally now someone is worried Kohli getting lucky ,Then according to same logic when he flopped in ko matches why don't you favour him by saying luck isn't kind to him, Stop being agenda driven man appreciate good cricket, Watch cricket analyst youtubers of Pakistan they Call Kohli True King , There's one youtuber he's best analyst who talks in depth about technical aspects, His channel "Wasay Habib'" From pakistan.
India produced more Ath batsman then any other country man. Similarly Pakistan produced Atg fast bowlers more than india but we don't keep whining about it.

 

[DJhant]

If india were smart they would swap iyer for kishan. Iyer is weak vs bounce and pace.

Nah, Iyer is better against spin and overall intellect, Ishan is usually a hack, who once in a blue moon comes good.

 

[Devadwal]

Australia will be kicking themselves for not batting better and getting another 30 - 40 runs

Yes chasing 250 is different ball game as RRR pressure is always there .

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I think but people don't come to stadiums to watch 50 overs game. 20 overs fills the stadium as it's much shorter game

Perhaps. Point is the product is still popular. People just consume it differently

 

[Justcrazy]

So far the results in the WC , show that this will be a close WC with some interesting games
