India (119) clinch a thrilling victory against Pakistan (113/7) by 6 runs in a low-scoring game of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024

Usman is going to be key here. If he handles the pressure well, it will be walk in the park for us
 
Once the required rr reaches 8

Boy this will be tricky
 
Unfortunate because the only one who was getting runs.. Sent inexperienced Usman up the order, he was terrible in the field and now destined to get out for a duck or a low score max..
 
Might have been a good idea to send Imad up the order.
 
Babar aka Jobber continues to tarnish his reputation.
 
Why isn't Fakhar out there surely you send the most experienced player out
 
half trying to play, half trying to leave
brainless shot
He has been playing this shot in previous overs when there was no slip, its his escape shot for a single. He needs to let go of this habit, he got out the same way in WC 2023, that time he inside edged playing the same shot.
 
Rizwan needs to get a move on, he is putting pressure on the other batsman.
 
Some of these balls need to be left Test match style.

What does Usman Khan think will happen aimlessly fishing outside off like this ?
 
Low run chase is good for Rizwan. He can go slow and target should still be gettable.

Six from Rizwan.
 
Usman khan is not a good player. He is a bad fielder and an awful batsman.
 
This was only third instance of India getting bowled out in a T20 World Cup match.

A run leaker by all metrics, Pandya.

Also, he is not a fighter like Rizwan.
 
Have been saying this for a while. These ind seniors are like leaches.. even if they reach SFs they will be hammered like 2022 wc but didn't want them to milk a win against pak this game and then line up again for 25CT or even 27 odi WC. A defeat to pak here will put the heat on the ind selection committee to drop these seniors for good..
Really strange they didnt play someone as talented as Jaiswal and picked Dube. Also surprising is the exclusion of Kuldeep. The squad selected by India is quite unbalanced and the XI they picked reflects that - too many bits and pieces players.
 
Sixes are like worth 12 runs on this ground. From India I think only Rohit hit a six
 
I have watched this hack Usman khan in that ILT20 league. He failed there like no tomorrow.
 
What an excuse of a cricketer Pandya is! Can't bowl, can't bat.
 
Why so much hate for Usman?? He just has an unorthodox technique, how many chances does he have been given? Relax guys.
 
One of the batters has to go deep here. Not an easy pitch to come and smash straight away. It takes fair bit to get used to on this pitch. We saw the other day how for South Africa Miller going deep was the key.
 
Babar just needs to bat 3. There’s no one else technically good for the position in the squad. Usman might do better opening but don’t think he can hack 3.

Rather have a batsman like saud or Abdullah at 3 if Babar opens.
 
Since target is low, throwing the kitchen sink is probably not a bad idea.

A few boundaries can bring the RRR to 5.

It's better than playing indecisive shots. He's not hitting or defending, better to flash hard and a quick 30 will take you most of the way there.
