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

[vprasanna83]

Bowling short to Rohit . What are these guys thinking

 

[U$ofA]

Not sure why bowlers continue to bowl short or a bouncer to Sharma. He seems to be the best short ball batsman around.

Shouldn't the bowlers put that away?

 

[jnaveen1980]

These are all problems but correctable problems. What can’t be corrected is when no. 2, 3 & 4 do what they did today after 94/0 in 14. Then, Liton thought it’s a club game and he had done enough….

No batting theory will work unless your top 3 puts value to wicket and converts start.

They have to start reeling out 100s consistently at the top. That should be their priority.

 

[sweep_shot]

I am guessing India want to win by a big margin like they did against the Afghans.

NRR boost.

 

[nish_mate]

What aggressive!!!! He is a slogger, who had couple of years of purple patch - that’s cute 30-35. Real loss was Soumya, who could match anyone shot by shot, playing proper cricket.

That couple of years of purple patch would have come handy for BD even today.. Sabbir was a gamle who would either come off massively or a dud, but a risk worth taking compared to some of the slow bats on display today...

Soumya, how can BD play him in emerging players tourney with a straight face??

 

[Devadwal]

Spinner bowling

 

[Devadwal]

I am guessing India want to win by a big margin like they did against the Afghans.

NRR boost.

Nah Rohit is batting agressive from past couple of years

 

[kron]

I guess yes, and that wasn’t Junior Dala’s South Africa

That was an incredible performance.

Bangladesh is a very capable side. Just need to put it all together. Lose in big moments.

Mustafizur averages 25
Taskin 29
Shoriful 25 26.

Very underrated pace attack. Why is this going under the radar lol.

 

[Devadwal]

Bangladesh is wasting new ball to spinner. Only chance for swing in first 6-7 overs

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is Gill's weakness. left arm spinners.

 

[kron]

Yes.

They lost the Test series 0-2 but won the ODI series 2-1.

Rememb3r that. Excellent series win vs full strength SA. Only missing nortje if I remember correctly.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bangladesh is wasting new ball to spinner. Only chance for swing in first 6-7 overs

Rohit's bullying put them off.

 

[kron]

I still don't think india can chase 300 plus. If a team posts 300, indian batsmen will struggle to chase even on flat pitches.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

I still don't think india can chase 300 plus. If a team posts 300, indian batsmen will struggle to chase even on flat pitches.

They can and will

This is thier Cup

 

[kron]

They can and will

This is thier Cup

Maybe. I haven't seen them chase 300 in a while vs a full strength team.

 

[JattMaula]

Maybe. I haven't seen them chase 300 in a while vs a full strength team.

Teams keep getting out before they set India above 300.

 

[nish_mate]

I still don't think india can chase 300 plus. If a team posts 300, indian batsmen will struggle to chase even on flat pitches.

Glad then we got a decent bowling unit that doesnt allow 300

 

[U$ofA]

I still don't think india can chase 300 plus. If a team posts 300, indian batsmen will struggle to chase even on flat pitches.

I think they can. I think they have excellent middle order. Something they have lacked the past 4-5 years. Their batsmen seem to be in good form. Half the side has not even batted a single ball. That includes Pandya on down.

But you never know. Let's see which team sets them that 300+ target. So far, 0 for 4.

 

[Devadwal]

Nasum is bowling Very well.

 

[nish_mate]

Mushfiq chirping up a bit...

 

[VForVendetta]

shanto as captain is an insult. Das should be captain. He won ODI series against India

They have four ex captains, yet they chose this jobber! I wonder whose genius brain is making such decisions ; Shakib, Papon or Haturu?

 

[Devadwal]

Gill hit 4 and camera show Sara Tendulkar who were clapping .

 

[vprasanna83]

Gill hit 4 and camera show Sara Tendulkar who were clapping .

Exactly . Seems like this is going to happen

 

[Mas-LFC]

There’s 3 things guaranteed in life. Taxes, death and Rohit Sharma scoring hundred against Bangladesh in CWC icc tournaments.

 

[Devadwal]

IND 48/0 (8)

 

[emranabbas]

Repeat of India vs pakistan

 

[sweep_shot]

India - 48/0 (8 overs).

Slowed down a bit.

 

[Mas-LFC]

If I was a betting man which am not, I’d bet 5k on Rohit scoring 100 against Bangladesh every time

 

[Devadwal]

Repeat of India vs pakistan

Bangladesh Bowler are bowling well compared to Pakistan

 

[VForVendetta]

So Shakib dropped Tamim and threw a tantrum because Tamim wasn't fully fit but he himself had fitness questions from the first match and now misses a crucial match due to fitness.

I doubt it's got to do anything with injury, he may have been BD's GOAT cricketer, but also easily the most corrupted & greedy sportsman.

 

[RamLakhan]

Never thought Rohit Sharma would bat so well in World Cup... His brilliance in batting (and experience with MI - Captaincy) should bring good fortunes to India in this tournament....

 

[Devadwal]

Back to back six by Prince

 

[sweep_shot]

India - 63/0 (10 overs).

 

[Devadwal]

IND 63/0 ( 10)

 

[Vikram1989]

They have four ex captains, yet they chose this jobber! I wonder whose genius brain is making such decisions ; Shakib, Papon or Haturu?

They have won the series on that mirpur pitch .as soon as ground is changed, kishan scored 200.i think we shouldn't take bangla victories too seriously unless we are loosing against them on a sporting pitch.

 

[sweep_shot]

He did well in 2019 World Cup. Scored quite a few centuries.

 

[emranabbas]

Bangladesh Bowler are bowling well compared to Pakistan

Pakistan hasmd taken 2 wickets by the 10th over explain how are the bangldesh bowlers doing well

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit's average against short ball since 2019 is 403 lol

 

[Devadwal]

He did well in 2019 World Cup. Scored quite a few centuries.

Not just quite a few .he has scored most century in a single world cup - 5 .

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Pakistan hasmd taken 2 wickets by the 10th over explain how are the bangldesh bowlers doing well

The Gill wicket was so lucky.

It was short and wide and waiting to be hammered.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Post covid he was one guy who went off the boil briefly alongwith Kohli/Dhawan

 

[7sins]

Knew it. Its a cake walk for India. The only team that can challenge india right now is Nz and SA if they don't choke others are very inconsistent

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was just a great catch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ is handsdown the most strategical team in this world cup. They will have everything down to a T for every batsman no matter how good they are

 

[pillionrider]

Nasser Hussain irritated Kohli I think earlier lol with that side by side comparison with Rohit playing the short ball.

That was funny but Nasser needs to stop living in the past. He was bleating on again today about left-arm pace bowlers to Indians, about the CT 17 and T20 WC. It's like the bashings in between and after don't stick in these people's heads

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan hasmd taken 2 wickets by the 10th over explain how are the bangldesh bowlers doing well

I have watched the whole game ,how the wicket taken by Pakistani bowler I also seen.

Someone reminds Naseer that how well Virat were played Short bowling against Australia in Australia

 

[owenhcricket]

I don't understand some of these decision...why would you win the toss and bat first?

 

[vprasanna83]

What a shot by the prince . Creamed it through cover

 

[jnaveen1980]

Someone reminds Naseer that how well Virat were played Short bowling against Australia in Australia

Kohli is a ground stroke puller. While discussing these two they forgot to mention how good Gill with pull shots.

 

[vprasanna83]

I don't understand some of these decision...why would you win the toss and bat first?

Why would you win the toss and bowl first ?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Correct decision. They ain't chasing 330 plus here against Indian bowling. Netherlands defended. Afghans defended.

 

[sweep_shot]

Yes. New Zealand can beat India.

South Africa can too probably.

 

[emranabbas]

Ok very good bowling by Bangladesh indian batsmen struggling

 

[Devadwal]

Apart from Iyer all the Indian batsman Play short Bowl very well.

 

[owenhcricket]

Some of you are so sensitive...Nasser literally spends 90% of his career gushing over India and calling Kohli "sexy" but one stray comment, or in this case, actual insight into the game and you guys start weeping.

 

[pillionrider]

DO NOT BOWL SHORT TO ME

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is a road. Historically high chases have been achieved. Where the issue was BD as usual could not capitalize on the start

 

[RamLakhan]

He did well in 2019 World Cup. Scored quite a few centuries.

In between (leading to this year), I had doubts he that he regressed (age catching up). But this is brilliant. Hope this continues through knockouts as well. But I think the presence of Gill and improvement of Kohli's & Rahul's form are going to help... (and more than anything - India's bowling which is all time best even better than 2011 & 1983) Let's see...

 

[Devadwal]

Huge six by Hitman
Next ball he is gone

 

[jnaveen1980]

Found the fielder getting out to a good shot.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I don't understand some of these decision...why would you win the toss and bat first?

Comspiracy by ICC to help India boost NRR.

 

[sweep_shot]

Rohit is out.

Big wicket.

Need a few more wickets.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Missed a 100. Missed a 50. I don't think he is going to change his tactic. He could very well have stat padded here. He didn't do.

 

[sweep_shot]

I don't understand some of these decision...why would you win the toss and bat first?

I agree. I would've chased here.

 

[owenhcricket]

Why would you win the toss and bowl first ?

Because chasing is the way to go in modern ODI cricket, is that hard to understand?

 

[vprasanna83]

Hitman batting like he drove his Lamborghini yesterday and got a ticket

 

[nish_mate]

Hopefuly no one bet their house on Hitman scoring a 100.....

 

[JattMaula]

Hasan has successfully bounced out Rohit.

Excellent bowling!

 

[Devadwal]

Time for another steady partnership .

 

[sweep_shot]

Current run rate is 7.18.

Going at a good pace.

 

[VForVendetta]

They have won the series on that mirpur pitch .as soon as ground is changed, kishan scored 200.i think we shouldn't take bangla victories too seriously unless we are loosing against them on a sporting pitch.

Ban won't defeat Ind at any icc events for unforeseeable future. They will get away with odd bilaterals or inconsequential matches like asia cup, but in world stages they simply won't be able to do it or won't be allowed to do it. The reasons aren't merely cricket related, far from that. Anybody who is aware of the political dynamics of both countries know the reasons.

 

[vprasanna83]

Because chasing is the way to go in modern ODI cricket, is that hard to understand?

Really , for a minnow team ? Everyone said Afghanistan was silly yesterday to bowl first .

You think Bangla can chase 300+ against India when they can’t put those on board batting first ?

 

[Devadwal]

King get two free hit .lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

This guy is overtrying.

 

[sweep_shot]

What is going on? Two no-balls.

 

[Devadwal]

Haha .what a start by king

 

[emranabbas]

Wow excellent bowling by Bangladesh

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wheels are coming off despite the wicket

 

[jnaveen1980]

This guy is a bit erratic. Too young. Got carried away. Needs disicipline.
