ICC World Cup 2023: India (273/2) defeat Afghanistan (272/8) by 8 wickets

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Should be easy for india 55 runs short

 

[Rajdeep]

Can we chase this target?

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Teams batting first have won five of the six ODIs in Delhi since 2013, the only exception being India’s seven-wicket win against South Africa last year, wherein the visitors had been bundled out for 99.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Can we chase this target?

Tense phase for indian fans coming up

 

[Devadwal]

I don't have much hope from heck kishan.

 

[Devadwal]

Can we chase this target?

If we lost then we don't deserve to go in semifinals

 

[Devadwal]

Kishan is already panicking. Really missing Gill

 

[batandballbattle]

Come on afghans, at least make it interesting

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Can Mujeeb shatter Rohit's off stump.

 

[Devadwal]

Mujeeb vs kishan .

 

[Major]

Terrible bowling length by fazal. Just too short. Givig alot of time and room for the batter to adjusr

 

[VForVendetta]

Rohit should eye for a daddy hundred, perfect opponent, perfect conditions. He won't get an easier opportunity in upcoming matches.

 

[Devadwal]

Wow mujeeb bowling very fast and get some Swing .lol

 

[Devadwal]

Rohit should eye for a daddy hundred, perfect opponent, perfect conditions. He won't get an easier opportunity in upcoming matches.

He will get easier apportunity in next game .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kishan seems to be playing "under isntructions". He would have usually flashed one already. Gill was a proper replacement of Dhawan. Even old Dhawan is good albeit with low strike rate these days.

 

[Devadwal]

Ishan 0(7)*

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Don't know why but i'm getting negative vibes about India.. Hopefully I will prove wrong

They chased 200 on a difficult against a world class attack from 2/3. It is only 70 more. On this ground against this attack on this pitch shouldn't cause any panic. But you never know with Indians against minnows. They do tend to lower their guard and find themselves in awkward position.

For this match??

Frankly speaking im so nervous.
Don't know why

That's a case of "fan's nerves". No real reason to worry. We are chasing 100 under par against the worst team in tournament.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Frankly speaking im so nervous.
Don't know why

Mostly because India's tail. Indian batting literally stops at 6 as Jaddu can't score big.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

For this match??

Yes
Usually I'm very positive about our chances.

 

[ex-q-zit]

I don't have much hope from heck kishan.

Man, didn't pull a rescue act with Pandya against Pakistan when India was 70 odd for 4. He has cored abundantly in the limted opportunities he has got.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mujeeb will be more threatening at Chennai. Here hardly any assistance for spinners yet.

We always make match intresting vs minnows. In 2018 Asia cup our match vs hongkong was very competitive although we crushed all the other teams later

Nepal. And lost to BD albeit with 2nd string. Then 2019 world cup vs afghanst

 

[VForVendetta]

He will get easier apportunity in next game .

I don't see him getting a hundred against Pak, a flashy 60/70 at best. He is just not that guy anymore.

 

[Devadwal]

What a shot over extra cover by Rohit Sharma

 

[Devadwal]

Nepal. And lost to BD albeit with 2nd string. Then 2019 world cup vs afghanst

No it was hongkong in 2018 Asia cup .check the scoreboard it was so close match

 

[Major]

Farooqi still bowling too short. Needs to bowl abit further in to get an edge

 

[jnaveen1980]

One of the reason Rohit has become aggressive because he is not fit enough to bat beyond 20 overs. All that running between the wickets is just not his cup of tea anymore. He failed yoyo test i think. But they are not revealing it.

 

[Major]

Farooqi wasted the new ball

 

[Devadwal]

IND 37/0 in 5 over

 

[RehanG]

They will win by 8 wickets inside 43 overs/

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

IND 37/0 in 5 over

Feeling relax somewhat

I think his role has changed. Earlier he used to take time initially and then go berserk after 50-70 runs. Now he plays agrressive from the start to give India a flying start in PP like he did against Pakistan in asia cup so that the middle order can capitalize on the good start,

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Farooqi bowling reminding me if Shaheens trundling yesterday .

 

[Devadwal]

Farooqi bowling reminding me if Shaheens trundling yesterday .

Yes totally agree

 

[Devadwal]

Feeling relax somewhat

Enjoy the match now .

 

[JattMaula]

Farooqi bowling reminding me if Shaheens trundling yesterday .

Same trundle just foot shorter.

 

[Major]

Gonna be easy win for india. These guys are wasting balls here.

Farooqi swinging but at wrong length. Naveen ul haq line is messed up. Mujeeb bowling with new ball

 

[Devadwal]

IND 47/0 (7) . good start

 

[jnaveen1980]

HE himself can make 150 easily if he hangs around. In death overs he can go absolute bonkers.

 

[Major]

Rphit sharma taking afghan bowlrs to the cleaners. The guy is cruising

 

[Devadwal]

Rohit need 2 more six to become most six by any batsman in international cricket

 

[Devadwal]

What a start by Rohit Sharma .

 

[Devadwal]

Rohit need 2 more six to become most six by any batsman in international cricket

Now only one more

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Yes, rohit is doing for my FC league, get 100 here

 

[IAJ]

This is some phainty!

 

[Devadwal]

IND 64/0 (7)
Rohit 49* (26)

 

[jnaveen1980]

How many pulled sixes. I don't think anyone would be anywhere close to Rohit in terms of pull shot sixes in international cricket.

 

[Mockingbird]

Completely agree. Guy looks completely unfit. He is dropping some easy catches in the slip too these days.

 

[kron]

Ishan seems like a timid player as a opener. Is he better at middle order?
Does india see something in him?

 

[ex-q-zit]

If Rizwan would have played 3 dots to get to his 50 Pakistani fans would have gone

 

[Devadwal]

30 ball half century by Rohit Sharma. What a Player

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Brutal mode activated

 

[jnaveen1980]

He scored like 5 or 6 fifties in a row. Today he seems to be playing under the instruction of Rahul Dravid. His approach has dravid written all over.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Record 554 ,

 

[jnaveen1980]

Congrats Rohit. Leading international six hitter in cricket history.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Ishan seems like a timid player as a opener. Is he better at middle order?

He is dangerous against spin. Wait for him when Nabi and co come on. May not be as prolific as Gill overall but a good enough replacement.

 

[Devadwal]

Ishan seems like a timid player as a opener. Is he better at middle order?

If Ishan played for any other team then he is labelled as 2nd coming of gilly .guys already scored 200 .but he is still heck for me

 

[Ali Active]

Yes Rohit get emm he can have. a good game here so that he can fail in next.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit has hit 26 sixes in power play in 2023. Many countries have not hit that many in power play.

 

[Devadwal]

He done it. Congratulations Rohit Sharma to become leading six hitter in international cricket .

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Brutal hitting

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Afghans are 170 short lol

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

This is going to be a blockbuster world cup. Long time world records are breaking in almost every match.
Dream world for stats geek for me

 

[Devadwal]

IND 75/0 (8)

 

[GLORY OF '92]

What a player

Its Kohli who is the menace for Pakistan. Anything Rohit gets is a pleasant bonus like he did last WC.

 

[kron]

He has issues vs bounce/pace from memory. Similar to iyer but not as bad of a weakness. Maybe he just needs to be more relaxed. He has the power game

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Six more

 

[SpiritOf1903]

10 wicket win incoming. NRR getting booster massively

 

[Blackbradman]

How many pulled sixes. I don't think anyone would be anywhere close to Rohit in terms of pull shot sixes in international cricket.

One more

 

[Rajdeep]

This Rohit Sharma player is good, isn't it?

 

[Devadwal]

Another biggie from RGS

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ramiz Raja is a big fan of Rohit sharma

 

[ex-q-zit]

With this start India needs to wrap the match before 35 overs as NRR can always come into the picture. Moreover it sends a message to the other teams like NZ did.
