ICC World Cup 2023: India (229/9) remain unbeaten as they win against England (129) by 100 runs

[Sunzi]

Wood not the shout. The batters are looking for pace on. You can have 5 on the rope, take the pace off.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Typical Pakistani catching by Moeen .

 

[160KPH]

This is a good knock TBH. He's helped carry India to a fighting total.

He’s struggling out there.

 

[Devadwal]

IND 209/7 (46 over)

 

[Sunzi]

He’s struggling out there.

The whole line up has, save for Rohit.

This is a very meaningful knock.

 

[160KPH]

*dot ball*
Ravi: MY GOD WHAT A BLOCK BY SURYA

 

[Devadwal]

Gone .

 

[sweep_shot]

SKY is out.

208/8.

 

[Ahmed216]

Big wicket at this stage. Needed to go straight but tried to play square too much at times

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

No 50 for surya
But he should be carry in next playing xi instead of Iyer.
Great innings though

 

[IAJ]

Typical Pakistani catching by Moeen .

Calm down with stupid posts, this thread is about India v England.

And SKY out, just bowl a bit wider and he will give you chances.

 

[Devadwal]

Selfless innings .he was 49 but still going for boundary. World no 1 batsman can learn few things

 

[Sunzi]

Pace off works. Using Wood is stupidity - even Bumrah salivating.

 

[160KPH]

Gone .

I was trying to tell you. He was struggling horribly out there. He was lucky to make any runs at all. He didn’t pick the ball well his whole innings.

 

[emranabbas]

Oh damn sky missed on 50

 

[MP2011]

Another ODI, another wasted opportunity for Sky

 

[globetrotter]

Today Siraj will be more devastating for England batsmen

 

[Devadwal]

I was trying to tell you. He was struggling horribly out there. He was lucky to make any runs at all. He didn’t pick the ball well his whole innings.

Mr expert this is not a pitch where Any player can play big shots easily. He was going 100+ strikes rate .

 

[160KPH]

Selfless innings .he was 49 but still going for boundary. World no 1 batsman can learn few things

That’s horrible game awareness. He’s so selfless that he has exposed Kuldepe Yadav to the bowling instead of batting out 2 overs. Truth is he was not in control at all the whole innings. Lucked and hacked his way to 49.

Truly selfless.

 

[Mas-LFC]

That’s a poor from from SKY. He needs to think better in ODI’s, Theres plenty deliveries left, play out the overs.

 

[sweep_shot]

India - 214/8 (47 overs).

Wood has 2 overs left.

 

[kron]

Tbf England have full trundler attack minus wood. Maybe indian tail can qag a bit.

Poor by sky. What happened there?

He looked good.

 

[kron]

That’s a poor from from SKY. He needs to think better in ODI’s, Theres plenty deliveries left, play out the overs.

Probably played for milestone. Classic great design mindest crept in.

 

[Mas-LFC]

India needs to get 230

 

[sweep_shot]

Tbf England have full trundler attack minus wood. Maybe indian tail can qag a bit.

Poor by sky. What happened there?

He looked good.

3 overs to go. Wood has 2 overs left. So, only 1 trundler over is available for Indian tail.

 

[kron]

Lol my daughter has more power than loldeep.

Cmon son. Touch the ball haha.

 

[160KPH]

Probably played for milestone. Classic great design mindest crept in.

Yeah had to try to hit the 50 with a boundary and look “innovative” rather than grinding out last 4 overs with the tail. One is sexy and gets credit the other would be played for “tuk-tuking”

 

[Sunzi]

Saw some zip on that last ball from Woakes... wicket quickening up?

 

[160KPH]

Lol my daughter has more power than loldeep.

Cmon son. Touch the ball haha.

The thing about Kuldeep is he will probably take a beautiful 6 wickets on this pitch I’ll hate on the players who deserve it, but man I think Kuldeep is a class bowler

 

[Mas-LFC]

Its going to be a tight game. Pitch isnt easy to score. This is more like the typical old time indian wicket!

 

[160KPH]

Good fielding saving the boundaries by England, but quite poor catching.

Feel like England just haven’t been able to get all the parts of their game going at the same time this whole tournament.

 

[kron]

Yeah had to try to hit the 50 with a boundary and look “innovative” rather than grinding out last 4 overs with the tail. One is sexy and gets credit the other would be played for “tuk-tuking”

Hahaa. If india were 'smart' they would drop these guys despite his 50. Sky is somewhat tolerable. But this iyer and this other guy is absolutely useless. Rahul has kind of Improved. Will give him that.

 

[160KPH]

Its going to be a tight game. Pitch isnt easy to score. This is more like the typical old time indian wicket!

Could see Kuldeep and Jadeja just running though them here right now.

 

[Ahmed216]

Saw some zip on that last ball from Woakes... wicket quickening up?

Two paced pitch. I hope settles down a bit under lights

 

[Devadwal]

Bumrah is definitely improve his batting. While shami batting is regress

 

[globetrotter]

Woakes looks like ryan gosling

 

[sweep_shot]

I think England should send in Wood at #3 for pinch hitting (to protect other Bazballers).

Teams no longer use pinch hitters. It used to be a thing.

 

[160KPH]

Hahaa. If india were 'smart' they would drop these guys despite his 50. Sky is somewhat tolerable. But this iyer and this other guy is absolutely useless. Rahul has kind of Improved. Will give him that.

Yeah fair play to Rahul. Since he’s returned he’s been an important part of the lineup. I suppose I just don’t understand why India persist with some of these guys when you have Ishan Kishan waiting on the sidelines.

 

[160KPH]

England will either chase this in under 30 overs, or get out for 70 runs. I have no clue which one it will be.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

220 on the board.. Anything more will be bonus for team India
Enough to challenge English team
Game on..

 

[shah_1]

That joker Nawaz should be ashamed of himself if he is watching this

 

[kron]

The thing about Kuldeep is he will probably take a beautiful 6 wickets on this pitch I’ll hate on the players who deserve it, but man I think Kuldeep is a class bowler

Maybe. Sluggish pitch but what of there is dew? Loldeep will get blasted again haha

 

[kron]

Exactly. Ishan sundar and jaiswal especially. Would be lethal.

 

[globetrotter]

Thanks England 1 down

 

[JattMaula]

We are 30 short but wc chase is a wc chase. So still in with chance!

 

[kron]

Seems like pace won't work here. Spin might. And low pace works. You really have to use power to hit the ball.
England hacks could use their hacking ability to smash big 6s maybe? But they would need pace on the ball for it.
.I think bumrah and siraj and shami will use low pace and try slow cutters. Will.be interesting to see.

 

[Ahmed216]

Ball comes and hits kuldeep he doesn't hit it

 

[kron]

Hahahaha
Why people stand in the boundary for this midget loldeep @160KPH
Hahah
He csnt hit that far lol.

 

[MMHS]

May be JB will open today - 230ish score, he should take it as T20 and maximise PP, if he stays the 10 overs, game over.

 

[kron]

This pitch looks like day 3 indian test pitch looooooooooool

 

[batandballbattle]

Woakes looks like ryan gosling

Can't unsee this...

 

[IAJ]

When tailenders can put up runs here, it's evident that the pitch might have eased out now.

 

[Ahmed216]

This pitch looks like day 3 indian test pitch looooooooooool

Day 1

 

[rhony]

Good. Played 50 overs. I reckon they are 20 short. Onto bowling now

 

[globetrotter]

Sensing something like Asia cup final gonna happens….. Siraj will be on fire today

 

[Devadwal]

Partnership: 21(22)
This is more than some other Asian team whole tails can score .

 

[kron]

Hahah. 100% Comedy hain. Legit my 2 daughters have more power than this loldeep. Hahgagaholy crap.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Atleast we play full 50 overs..
230 to win
Game onn

 

[Rajdeep]

India needs to get 230

Ended with 229

 

[kron]

230 to win
Game onn

Kya game on?
Game finished hain.

230 /1 or 2 loss loading.

Needed 270 280 here.
Unless bumrah magic.

 

[battler]

About 30 short here. 260 would have been good. India will definitely miss Ashwin here. We need 3 spinners here

 

[Savak]

Good game awareness by the Indian tailenders to bat 50 overs. If only the Pakistani tail enders including Nawaz had any brain cells.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Big challenge for the Indian bowlers. The pitch is going to get better under lights. This is a blessing in disguise. They get an opportunity to defend a modest total. Result wouldn't affect our SF fortunes so good scenario to apply themselves against the tide.

 

[Sunzi]

This is about what I expected from 40-3. Thought they'd come from higher up the line-up (Shreyas, Rahul, Jadeja) but they got there with contributions from the tail.

England should be happy with that, they bowled and fielded well and were assisted by some loose Indian wickets.

England are well placed to win, provided they don't do what India did i.e forcing the pace / blind hitting / Bazball.

 

[kron]

Tbf unnecessary wicket loss for kohli, iyer toh useless hain so forget him. Sky also unnecessary. Milestone player. That's what you get.

Rahul unnecessary again. Pressure.

 

[IAJ]

Atleast we play full 50 overs..
230 to win
Game onn

Good point actually.

 

[rhony]

May be JB will open today - 230ish score, he should take it as T20 and maximise PP, if he stays the 10 overs, game over.

If he plays like a T20, he will get out in 2 balls

 

[dravidthewall]

Pakistan tailenders should learn from bumrah

 

[batandballbattle]

When tailenders can put up runs here, it's evident that the pitch might have eased out now.

they were just sticking around trying to play out the overs really
pitch is still tricky, even chasing this total won't be easy

 

[kron]

I don't like how pitch might get better under lights because that's unfair to the other team. Both aren't batting in the same condition. This is where cricket is lacking. 2 teams often seldom bat in similar conditions.

 

[kron]

I think it will be very easy unless india get early wickets against the hacks.

 

[sweep_shot]

England should chase this down.

India are probably 20 runs short.

 

[rhony]

I'd say 65-35 in England's favor at this point. Decision on Iyer is a must after this game.

 

[kron]

Duck duck

England should chase this down.

India are probably 20 runs short.

Well Indians wanted law of averages to catch up early. So there ya go.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If there is no dew it will be tight. Still think England has enough resources (batting till 11) to pull this chase off.

 

[kron]

I'd say 65-35 in England's favor at this point. Decision on Iyer is a must after this game.

Yes that decision should be removed from the team and sent packing.

 

[FearlessRoar]

India set England a target of 230 in Lucknow. Rohit Sharma top-scored with 87, Suryakumar Yadav made 49.

 

[Devadwal]

India 183- 7 to 229 -9.
This is positive signs for upcoming matches

 

[Devadwal]

If there is no dew it will be tight. Still think England has enough resources (batting till 11) to pull this chase off.

Don't think this will be tight game .easy win coming for them .270 is good total here but not 229 .

 

[battler]

Kishan needs to play in place of Iyer. He is a better pressure player than Iyer and also brings variety to the lineup being a lefty.
