India (148/5) defeat Pakistan (147) by 5 wickets in the 2nd Match of the ACC Asia Cup

World of cricket is being deprived of a cricket series which has everything. About time both sides grow up and play bilateral series every 2 years. Even for neutrals its a great watch.
 
This is a guy bowling 140 consisstently, and than we have Indians getting happy on Umran bowling a few deliveries on those speeds. This is what express bowling is
 
Responsibility on Rauf to keep up the pressure when he comes in, not leak 15 runs first over.
 
This Indian top order has not been in any rhythm in recent times. Actual performers are guys like SKY, Hooda.
 
I'm happy. We are obviously not winning this, but atleast we have shown quality upfront.
 
I think India has survived here, kohli and Sharma will now make this a big innings. The intial pressure that you can put on this India Team is only in the first 2-3 overs. Once those overs get underway, you cant get hold of htis Indian team.

They have survived it and its only Pakistan's game to lose from here.

Good game, hopefully will come back strong against them in the Super 4
 
Defending 147 you have to take catches like the one Fakhar dropped.
 
Awesome to watch Nassem shah bowl. Action is bit like Dennis lillee. Only 19. with experience he will get even better.

Yeah, all I care about is giving a fight and keeping our morale high for the rest of tournament.

Yep, at least this fighting show can be harnessed going forward. The club batsmen lost this game a long time ago
 
To defend these small totals, Pak requires good strategy like bowling the right bowlers at the right time which I seriously doubt they can do that. Just need to bat a few overs and Pak themselves will make it easier for India batters with their lack of proper strategy

Catch looked difficult because he attempted it with both hands, slip fielders usually go with one hand for such catches.

Can't blame Fakhar he is not a slip fielder.
 
The 2 batters settling in and sizing up the wicket and bowling.

Need both out asap.

Nothing to do with pace alone if you have no control,umran was smacked by ireland platers from left right and center

A bhuvaneswar with 130 odd pace is far threatening with his control and skills than someone spraying the balls in 155
 
Kohli, Rohit, SKY, DK, Hardik.

Indian batting seems better this time compared to last World T20.
 
Short ball is the only ball that Kohli might still play. Any full wide ball is a wicket taking ball.
 
Kohli looks a poor shadow of his once supreme persona.

Pakistan won't get a better chance to win a game against us.
 
should had bowl naseem here, not gonna be needed in death

If Kohli"s plays well today. Would you still want him retire?

He has far too many technical issues crept into his batting. He doesn't seem to be addressing it. He is makingg it worse. He hardly timed any ball even today.
 
The whole world knows about Kohli's current problems with deliveries outside the off stump.

Yet, our geniuses are feeding him with deliveries on the pads.

there is no movement and no slip, why should we bowl him outside the off stunnp? You only do that when there is movement.
 
Rohit and Kohli should open with SKY at 3. Play Pant at 4 and drop KL.
 
I don't understand the hate for Virat he has still got it. He can easily play for another 3-4 years.
 
Kohli makes me laugh

Hasn't played a single relevant innings in 4 years and hitting a few boundaries today he thinks hes hot stuff.
 
Indian batters capitalising on any loose deliveries, something the Pakistani batters didn't do.
 
This Pak team don't really make their plans. They just go with the flow, it is going to be an easy win for India

Who stopped them to not have slip with one wicket already down and defending 146? There is some bounce to get a nick.
