ICC World Cup 2023: India (261/3) remain unbeaten as they defeat Bangladesh (256/8) by 7 wickets

[kron]

Only after the WC.

SKY and Pandya will stay for another 3 years. But players like Iyer, Shami, Rohit will be slowly phased out.

Iyer not good enough.

pandya glass man. Ipl should suffice
Sky fraud

India has much better players than these.

 

[Devadwal]

IND 201/3 ( 34 over)
Need another 56 run from 96 balls

 

[kron]

Id like to hear Virats post match comments on this pitch. Usually the ball comes on very easily especially under lights and hitting over the top is a piece of cake for someone like Iyer . It can be a very difficult place to defend even 340.

Kohli playing along the ground has probably helped

Yea definitely not a 340 pitch. 280 to 300 par to me. India did throw some wickets though.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD should try to make this defeat as smaller as possible.

Try not to do damage NRR much. They should try to finish 7th or 8th at least.

 

[kron]

Wonder who will win between India vs nz.
Will be a tough battle.
If pandya is not fit then advantage nz unless india go with some combo of spin ARs and 3 prop3r pacers.

India have home advantage.

But, NZ are fighters.

Should be a cracker.

 

[jnaveen1980]

There will not be any assistance to seamers. We are playing the WC in India. Not in England in spring time.

This WC belongs to spinners. The ones with variations and mystery. Seamers are going for plenty and it will stay like that.

But you cannot split the overs in death. Spinners in death is risky. We will be forced to reserve lot of overs in death. current set up has 4 seamers + 2 spinners. Management believes 4 seamers are needed even with Pandya. Suddenly reducing from 4 to 2 is not happening.

Whom do you think BD can beat out of SA aus pak?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Should be a cracker.

Let us not forget NZ has just 3 specialist bowlers. Henry, Boult, Santner. Other 2 are part timers. That is way too risky. If not INdia someone will hurt them real bad

 

[JaDed]

Keeeng of soft runs tbh. Babar cant even do that though.

Not really he has some mighty runs against Pak and also has scored in T20 wc tournaments back to back MOS.

Just that freak performances from Malinga in one(coupled with terrible performance from Yuvi) and Russel in another dented his legacy.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Success of indian opening pair is a major reason behind Kohli's ordinary (by his standards) world cup stats.

 

[kron]

Rahul batting at snail pace.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bangladesh field set is very defensive. How can they defend the total if batsman doesn't play rash shots?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Another pull shot 6. Gill has not shown his pull shots yet. He is another beast.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is pathetic strategy by BD lol Bowling short hoping they will miscue.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Typical Kohli chase. Singles, singles. more singles

 

[JaDed]

KL is giving some confidence now.. but still very much doubtful about him.

 

[Rajdeep]

It appears to me that India may win this game now without much concerns.

 

[jnaveen1980]

KL is giving some confidence now.. but still very much doubtful about him.

He has been extremely consistent in the middle order. Not sure why he kept opening the innings where he is way too circumspect.

 

[jnaveen1980]

It appears to me that India may win this game now without much concerns.

They were a little measured keeping in mind Pandya may not bat. Otherwise probably would have seen more aggression.

 

[Devadwal]

It appears to me that India may win this game now without much concerns.

257 was never enough total on this surface .

 

[nish_mate]

257 was never enough total on this surface .

It is par as per some of our resident pundits.

 

[sweep_shot]

Whom do you think BD can beat out of SA aus pak?

They will probably lose all 3. LOL.

I think they may beat Sri Lanka and should beat Netherlands. That's about it.

 

[Rajdeep]

Sixer from King Kohli...clearly wants his hundred

 

[jnaveen1980]

Total of 88 singles. Kohli 42singles.

 

[Devadwal]

What a shot by King
He is on 80*

 

[sweep_shot]

It is par as per some of our resident pundits.

I haven't seen any post that mentioned 257 was enough.

 

[Devadwal]

Sixer from King Kohli...clearly wants his hundred

Not enough run again .19 run needed for win same as Virat needs for hundred

 

[JaDed]

We couldn’t finish it in under 40 overs.. moral victory for BD?

 

[Devadwal]

Four more .rahul please dont make any more runs

 

[Rajdeep]

Not takings runs now...Virat don't want to expose tailender KL Rahul on strike

 

[Devadwal]

Virat going for hundreds . haha

 

[SamNJ]

BD bowler should throw a 5 wides now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

BD bowler should throw a 5 wides now.

Srilanka did that actually against Sehwag i think

 

[Saanji]

Very poor by india.. this obsession with milestones

 

[Devadwal]

Srilanka did that actually against Sehwag i think

Yes Mendis Bowled a wide when Shewag was on 99*

 

[JaDed]

If it stretches beyond this over, BD wins.

lol wide

 

[Devadwal]

Ohh man they are bowling wide .

 

[Rajdeep]

Gavaskar will be proud of this kind of batting...he just loves hundreds

 

[Devadwal]

If it stretches beyond this over, BD wins.

lol wide

Lol why now he is playing fast

 

[Devadwal]

India needs 3 run and Virat need 4

 

[jnaveen1980]

Game with in a game

 

[nish_mate]

I haven't seen any post that mentioned 257 was enough.

Its been declared as the par score, not enough by a long shot, and not par by an equally long shot

 

[JaDed]

Wow Bd wins we couldn't do it in 41 overs , Kohli selfish!

Ex Kaptaan being super ShellFish.

 

[adi_62941]

Crazy that kohli is preferring personal milestone over country

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli wants t his monkey off the back

 

[Devadwal]

Please no anti climex

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think team is onboard with Kohli's approach. I personally don't mind him not getting a 100.

 

[7sins]

Never seen kohli been so desperate for a 100 he deserved it but I don't know

 

[Rajdeep]

Umpire not giving wide...HAHAHA

 

[Major]

Yes Mendis Bowled a wide when Shewag was on 99*

nope

It was Randiv and he bowled a no ball on purpose.

 

[Devadwal]

Wow umpire no given wide

 

[jnaveen1980]

Even umpire wants him to get a 100.

 

[Rajdeep]

Six and century for King Kohli against mighty Bangladesh

 

[Devadwal]

Yes he did it . century no. 48

 

[JaDed]

Sad to see Kohli like this, guess he hates being in the shadow of Sharma

 

[JattMaula]

This is seriously cringey!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Monkey off the back. 48th 100. Some entertainment out of an insipid match

 

[Saanji]

Honestly, this hundred feels cheap ..

 

[7sins]

Well done. INDIA AND NZ are into the semis rest 2 spots still not sure

 

[deltexas]

Not a big fan of this. You finish the game asap. If you are not out on 99 so be it

 

[ex-q-zit]

India have home advantage.

But, NZ are fighters.

Should be a cracker.

Not sure Dharamshala is home advantage for India. It will be more similar to NZ conditions.

 

[Devadwal]

nope

It was Randiv and he bowled a no ball on purpose.

Ohh yes and i think randiv got some punishment

 

[Nikhil_cric]

There is at least one scenario where you need 7 wins no?

 

[Mockingbird]

Sad to see Kohli like this, guess he hates being in the shadow of Sharma

Why shouldn’t he get that century he deserves? If he doesn’t hit centuries, people say “oh he doesn’t have as many centuries as Sharma”.

Also NRR won’t matter if you end up winning games.

 

[Major]

So because Kohli was after the milestone, i think he missed the opportunity to get his team a better NRR over NZ. Not that it matters cause India will play the semis as they have 4 and need two mores wins to conform the spot

 

[Devadwal]

Sad to see Kohli like this, guess he hates being in the shadow of Sharma

Its only fan who are thinking like this .

 

[dravidthewall]

Centuary for king kohli

 

[SamNJ]

Sad to see Kohli like this, guess he hates being in the shadow of Sharma

Always been like this. He has said many times that he always wanted to be the best player of his team. Someone about whom the opposition thinks the most. Loves being centre of attention.

 

[Champ_Pal]

But you cannot split the overs in death. Spinners in death is risky. We will be forced to reserve lot of overs in death. current set up has 4 seamers + 2 spinners. Management believes 4 seamers are needed even with Pandya. Suddenly reducing from 4 to 2 is not happening.

You have to have 3 overs each of Bumrah and Siraj after 40th over.

Ashwin+Jaddu+Kuldeep are good enough to bowl 30 overs economically. They are all seasoned pros and should be able to do the job.

 

[JattMaula]

Why shouldn’t he get that century he deserves? If he doesn’t hit centuries, people say “oh he doesn’t have as many centuries as Sharma”.

He doesn't deserve sh*t!

People can say whatever. It's his job to play for team not for meaningless milestones.

 

[Devadwal]

So because Kohli was after the milestone, i think he missed the opportunity to get his team a better NRR over NZ. Not that it matters cause India will play the semis as they have 4 and need two mores wins to conform the spot

No if you have watched the game then understand as he has hit some six for acceleration .india scored 4 extra runs so NRR anyway increase .

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Sad to see Kohli like this, guess he hates being in the shadow of Sharma

It was a quality knock . Only the ending was somewhat weird to watch but guess we could afford to wait for him to get his ton.

 

[JaDed]

Why shouldn’t he get that century he deserves? If he doesn’t hit centuries, people say “oh he doesn’t have as many centuries as Sharma”.

Lol Sharma’s centuries are way faster.

See how I could still say something.

Yuvi Dhoni didn’t havemany centuries but we remember them helping India win..

 

[Major]

Well done. INDIA AND NZ are into the semis rest 2 spots still not sure

no team has qualified yet. Its a 9 game per team group stage. Heck, even Sri lanka has a chance at it if they win all there games.

 

[jnaveen1980]

You have to have 3 overs each of Bumrah and Siraj after 40th over.

Ashwin+Jaddu+Kuldeep are good enough to bowl 30 overs economically. They are all seasoned pros and should be able to do the job.

That combo will be played only on certain wickets

 

[Aseem_Khan]

Ab esme kya selfish dikh Gaya six four marke bande ne hundred kiya tuk tuk karke to hundred nahi Kiya over 100 ki strike rate se decent inning khel ke gaya hai ab kya Banda zehar khake mar Jaye

Wow Bd wins we couldn't do it in 41 overs , Kohli selfish!

Ex Kaptaan bei

 

[JattMaula]

No if you have watched the game then understand as he has hit some six for acceleration .india scored 4 extra runs so NRR anyway increase .

We all watched the game. He declined easy singles. No justification for that.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I dont think there is anything too wrong with trying to bag a 100 here.

The match was in the bag, India will most likely qualify, NRR not an issue either.

A world cup century at home is very special. He will probs retire from ODI after this WC so why not run up some numbers.

 

[Major]

No if you have watched the game then understand as he has hit some six for acceleration .india scored 4 extra runs so NRR anyway increase .

i dont really care, so calm down. No need to become a fan boy.
