ICC World Cup 2023: India v Australia | Final | Ahmedabad | 19 November | India innings

[Ahmed216]

If India wins, this was a massive innings from Rahul.

And if they lose?

 

[Mas-LFC]

Shami needs to play a solid innings.

And he scores a boundary straight away…

 

[castortroy]

When it comes to KO matches, Aussies always raise the levels

 

[kingusama92]

And if they lose?

Candidate for "Match ka mujrim" award.

His fate is in the hands of the bowlers now.

 

[run-out]

"Jaha muddey bade hote Hain , waha mian bhai khade hote Hain."
Here comes shami.

 

[FearlessRoar]

They have been saying SKY is X factor for India. What he has done for India in this world cup?

 

[rhony]

Goal should be to score 50 overs now

 

[Rana]

Tbf KL did the best he could have

India could have been bowled out for 200 had he and Kohli not consolidated at the time

 

[viking2559]

Pat cummins he would keep indians silent and he has been true to his words today.
Brilliant from Australia..
Loving the silence in the crowd.

 

[rhony]

They have been saying SKY is X factor for India. What he has done for India in this world cup?

Scored the crucial 49 at run a ball on a tough pitch vs England. Otherwise he didn't get many chances

 

[MP2011]

Rahul's innings is easily the worst ever innings played in a knockout game.

 

[MP2011]

Even Shami is showing more intent than Rahul, Jadeja and Sky.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Hope Rahul backers would have got their answers now

He's been magnificient since the asia cup in both batting and keeping. some of his leg side takes are that of a a real good keeper. and i amnot a backer ...at least i dont put the boot in ...when things are down

 

[Mas-LFC]

If I was Indian I would be livid with rahul’s gutless innings.

This dismissal is not actually good for the Aussies

This actually might be blessing in disguise for India KL getting out. Man was on such test mode. One can get its nervs big final etc etc but surely experienced professional after few dozen balls should be good to go like normal? KL did a Yuvi 2014. Just couldnt hit it.

 

[viking2559]

Lol indians are chanting India India and he nearly got out.
Loving this.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Zimbu Gill is probably happy Rahul has likely taken away the attention from him.

 

[MP2011]

He's been magnificient since the asia cup in both batting and keeping. some of his leg side takes are that of a a real good keeper. and i amnot a backer ...at least i dont put the boot in ...when things are down

Nothing about how good he was before today.

He was good and I acknowledged that.

Now you need to acknowledge that he was pathetic today and drowned us

 

[viking2559]

Australia needs to restrict them under 245.

 

[MP2011]

If he did well why would I be unhappy! I'd be happiest

 

[Mas-LFC]

Another final of CWC we wont see team batting first not getting past 250? Whats if CWC finals and low scores below 250! Jees.

Can India somehow get 260…

 

[Ab Fan]

Tbf KL did the best he could have

India could have been bowled out for 200 had he and Kohli not consolidated at the time

That's the point exactly. India missed Pandya here. Jadeja doesn't anchor the inning well in ODIs either and we are into tails come 6 down.

 

[Ahmed216]

Cummins is a champion. He's raised his game today

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Shami gone

 

[Rana]

Only an SRK and Ranvir Singh partnership can take India to 300 from here

 

[topspin]

Cummins has been brilliant with his captaincy

I'm not sure if I've seen a better captain performance in ODIs than the one we've seen today from Cummins.

 

[viking2559]

The crowd goes zip.......
Hahahahah

 

[Sunzi]

Shami goes.

 

[shah_1]

7th wicket

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

*+Nothing about how good he was before today.

He was good and I acknowledged that.

Now you need to acknowledge that he was pathetic today and drowned us

i'd say Aus bowlign and fielding were brilliant....

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Shami showed some intent but never came off.

 

[Ahmed216]

Only an SRK and Ranvir Singh partnership can take India to 300 from here

400 still ON

 

[7sins]

Australia please restrict them before 245

 

[rhony]

Was just wondering about the famous Shami hoick and there it was.

 

[Ab Fan]

Poor from Shami. Needed to hang around.

 

[7sins]

Gone starc

 

[MP2011]

i'd say Aus bowlign and fielding were brilliant....

So there was nothing we could have done.

Ok. What's the point of having our best ever team?

 

[kingusama92]

Shami thinking he's Boom Boom out there.

Atrocious hack.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Australians are the toughest people on the planet
They read pitch very well and they have one hand on the cup with their outstanding fielding

India are clueless against Australia

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Given the dew factor, I think 275 is the Par score here.
India look to be heading well short.

 

[Markhor]

What was the need for that ? Just tuk your way to 250 and give yourselves something to defend.

 

[7sins]

Pretty similar pitch to that pak-ind match. As the ball start to reverse after 31 over mark its doing again.

 

[Rana]

I'm not sure if I've seen a better captain performance in ODIs than the one we've seen today from Cummins.

Exactly

Let’s see if he can become a World Cup winning captain today

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

How's pitch behaving and What's the challenging score here?

 

[Savak]

Sorry I overslept. How is the wicket and pitch? Will it swing, seam for the Indian pace attack under lights? Any chance of massive spin in the evening?

 

[Mas-LFC]

Bad shot Shami. Needed to stick around with SKY. Ball reversing. India not played smart cricket at all. Too slow middle overs being ultra cautious, and here towards the end just tick along, take it deep. Still plenty of overs left. HAVE TO GET NEAR 250….

 

[Ahmed216]

Sorry I overslept. How is the wicket and pitch? Will it swing, seam for the Indian pace attack under lights? Any chance of massive spin in the evening?

Not much spin.Slow wicket expected to get better under lights. Aus to win if they can see Shami off

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Their one weakness exposed in the biggest game. Brutal.

 

[rhony]

Sorry I overslept. How is the wicket and pitch? Will it swing, seam for the Indian pace attack under lights? Any chance of massive spin in the evening?

It will swing and seam under lights. Pitch will turn too u til the dew sets in. All bets are off after that

 

[kingusama92]

Sorry I overslept. How is the wicket and pitch? Will it swing, seam for the Indian pace attack under lights? Any chance of massive spin in the evening?

It's all on the dew.

There was heavy dew last night. If not, India will get good turn and the pitch is slow. 250 will be a great score in such conditions.

 

[Kianig89]

Mitchell Starc what a player you are

 

[Kianig89]

Australian batters must make this count

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Rohit will be seething. He gave a once in a lifetime start to get 320 here

 

[viking2559]

Adam zampa has been the disappointment in the semi final and final.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

So there was nothing we could have done.

Ok. What's the point of having our best ever team?

look...if that was the case..why bother competing? the beauty of sport is you do not know the results till it happens....we've had a dream run that the 'real world champs - our hosts' can only dream off...yes - we are second best in this game...so far...but its a game - dont think we should slag our guys

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

If the ball is moving now, does that mean its going to move when India bowls?

 

[MP2011]

Can we replicate our bowling performance against England in this game? But Australia aren't as mentally shot as England were

 

[Sunzi]

Bumrah LBW Zampa

 

[Kianig89]

Australian pace trio reminding everyone why World class bowlers are revered Nd celebrated

 

[7sins]

If the ball is moving now, does that mean its going to move when India bowls?

It's reversing, in the 2nd innings dew will come here so I don't think we will be seeing reverse swing

 

[Ahmed216]

That was so plumb bumrah didn't bother to review even with 2 still left

 

[7sins]

2 more boys get the 2 more wickets asap

 

[Kianig89]

The legend of David Warner needs another WC title ?

 

[JattMaula]

Sky needs to hit out NOW.

 

[kingusama92]

Well that was a good ball to Bumrah. Tough one for a tailender.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

What was the need for that ? Just tuk your way to 250 and give yourselves something to defend.

This is the era of intent not outcomes.

Shami made a lot of fans in Pakistan for his bravery playing that shot.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Nightmares come true for India

 

[Mas-LFC]

Their one weakness exposed in the biggest game. Brutal.

Big time.

 

[rhony]

Surya should just go for it. Aussies picking the other end by giving an easy single to Surya

 

[kingusama92]

Honestly if they lose these two wickets early, it's going to be very difficult to defend dew or no dew.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

How's pitch behaving and What's the challenging score here?

its all fixed ...as per some....except they dont have the honesty to admit..."i was wrong'

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

This is the time surya need to go for 2 or 3 sixes

 

[Kianig89]

Its seems like a funeral massive crowd pin dropped which Rizwan dreamed off @Rana

 

[MP2011]

look...if that was the case..why bother competing? the beauty of sport is you do not know the results till it happens....we've had a dream run that the 'real world champs - our hosts' can only dream off...yes - we are second best in this game...so far...but its a game - dont think we should slag our guys

That's what I'm saying. Compete. For heaven's sake. So much efforts have gone into us reaching here. Don't spoil that within hours.

 

[Asad T]

if India get out too early, dew will only get in later in the Indian innings

 

[7sins]

The legend of David Warner needs another WC title ?

Yes he do

 

[Devadwal]

Sky you idiots

 

[7sins]

if India get out too early, dew will only get in later in the Indian innings

I think the dew starts to come around 8pm

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

That's what I'm saying. Compete. For heaven's sake. So much efforts have gone into us reaching here. Don't spoil that within hours.

fair point....hoping for a final flourish from SKY...cmon lets all think +ve

 

[OldWarHorse]

Their one weakness exposed in the biggest game. Brutal.

The best teams do that. They gave us nothing, compare that with the rubbish NZ served in the semis

 

[Mas-LFC]

Man this is turning out to be a complete nightmare for our neighbours. Mighty India with its batting prowess crumbling under pressure in the big final.

Am more disappointed not seeing score above 250 for the 3rd world cup final in a row!
