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

[pillionrider]

in that stare from Kohli after smashing this noob bowler Dahani who’d dared to eyeball him a few times

 

[sweep_shot]

Rohit and Kohli should open with SKY at 3. Play Pant at 4 and drop KL.

Yeah. Pant should play.

 

[MP2011]

Pakistani fielding has come up by leaps and bounds over last few years, Fakhar's drop notwithstanding.

 

[Major]

India has done well here for this target. Last over of PP, give it to naseem plzz.. He is not gonna be needed in death as score is less.

 

[m.shah]

Fakhar dropped catch now costly

 

[castortroy]

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

A couple of boundaries and these Pak bowlers will lose their lines

 

[Sunny_majoka]

It's kohlis day

 

[Marooned]

Come on people it won't be a contest but atleast it's not a demolition.

 

[castortroy]

Fakhar dropped catch now costly

Yeah that was the match

 

[Major]

bad decision to bowl Harris here in the last pp over, he will be attacked. Could had taken a chance with Naseem here. Dumb move babar

 

[castortroy]

Trust pak to bring him back into form

 

[Ab Fan]

145 KPH short ball at that height, Kohli loves that.

 

[MP2011]

Another sensational shot by Kohli.

 

[Geil]

Paks decision making have been really poor with the bat and it will be with the bowling too

 

[Ab Fan]

Pakistan are just too nice vs Kohli

 

[JaDed]

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

That’s how Pakistan plays, they are the team which depends massively on form and when form they usually do extremely well.(cornered tigers etc)

 

[Major]

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

there isnt much, plus dhani and harris are not gonna get you an edge towards the slip here.

and as we talk, harris bowls rubbish towards leg in pp

 

[sweep_shot]

Another boundary from Kohli. 3 fours and 1 six so far. Getting his form back?

 

[Protea Fan]

Kohli is still pretty strong in his backfoot,thats a born strength he has got

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Catches win matches, as simple as that.

 

[MP2011]

4 leg byes.

 

[Geil]

bad decision to bowl Harris here in the last pp over, he will be attacked. Could had taken a chance with Naseem here. Dumb move babar

There is going to be more bad decision made by this Pak team, really poor decision making

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Rauf just going for a couple of boundaries per over
[MENTION=136411]Shafi[/MENTION] are you enjoying this yeah?

 

[MP2011]

Rohit too has been scratching around.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

I wish we were more ruthless. Seriously really weak character

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

This pitch has something for the bowlers. And Pakistan attack is so so good.

 

[MP2011]

Poor batting in power play.

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Well let’s be honest, our cruddy batting lost us this match just need the bowlers to save our izzat really

 

[Varun]

Kohli looking in smashing form. #NoJinx

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Seems like Kohli is back in rhythm , dropped by Fakhar will be costly.

 

[Shafi]

its 180-200 runs pitch where we scored only 147.

 

[Geil]

That’s how Pakistan plays, they are the team which depends massively on form and when form they usually do extremely well.(cornered tigers etc)

This small T20 totals needs good planning and the right decisions on the field, this is really stupid display by Pak

 

[Major]

Kohli is still pretty strong in his backfoot,thats a born strength he has got

i think kohli should play in the lower order or middle, hiis issue seems to be the new ball

 

[cricenjoyer]

If our middle order was semi competent than we may have had a game on our hand

 

[Ab Fan]

Leg Spin is Kohli's weakness.

 

[sweep_shot]

38/1 (6 overs).

Powerplay is done.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Well let’s be honest, our cruddy batting lost us this match just need the bowlers to save our izzat really

Hasn't this been the case most of the times. Pakistan bowling vs India batters.
This Young Turk attack is exciting to watch though.

 

[MP2011]

Shadab in.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Issue is Haris is only good after over 8-10. We really needed kohlis wkt quick. He seemed in really good nick in the nets . With 148 you are always running after the game unless you get early wkts.

 

[sweep_shot]

its 180-200 runs pitch where we scored only 147.

I think it is a 165-170 pitch.

 

[Ab Fan]

i think kohli should play in the lower order or middle, hiis issue seems to be the new ball

No, his issue is after powerplay. He is best as opener or max no.3 only.

 

[Waleed93]

LOL this isnt 2016.

A past his prime Kohli is still head and shoulders above our wannabe batsmen (apart from Babar), and he is showing it so far.

 

[Devadwal]

Rohit batting like sissy

 

[Major]

Shadab is bowling with good line and length

 

[Geil]

Looks like Kohli"s day to me, reminds me of those days of Kohli chasing targets easily

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

What is Rohit doing ?

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

If we had kohlis wkt the power play would have gone to pak. Let's hope shadab and Usman Qadir can deliver today

 

[Marooned]

I thought we would completely catipulate but we actually put them under some pressure at the start. That's good enough for me with this total.

We just need to take lessons from this game

 

[Major]

good from rizwan to atleast check by third

 

[Marooned]

How many times did we beat the bat today?? Maybe 10 times.

 

[sweep_shot]

109 needed from 80 balls.

 

[Ab Fan]

Fat Clueless Rohit as always.

 

[Marooned]

A past his prime Kohli is still head and shoulders above our wannabe batsmen (apart from Babar), and he is showing it so far.

Goes without saying. Just look how quick his reflexes still are.

 

[Major]

Great over by Shadab there, lovely bowling

 

[Geil]

Pak doing the usual simple tricks and expecting Rohit and Kohli to make mistakes and gift their wickets like how Pak batters did, I don't think that's gonna happen

 

[Shafi]

how many times teams play with each other in super 4?

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

India have a lot of firepower to come . Only way to put them under pressure is by taking wkts.

 

[Major]

Pak doing the usual simple tricks and expecting Rohit and Kohli to make mistake and gift their wickets like how Pak batters did, I don't think that's gonna happed

na, a stumping chance has to be checked by third umpire, rizwan appealed for it

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

If we had kohlis wkt the power play would have gone to pak. Let's hope shadab and Usman Qadir can deliver today

Usman Qadir isn't playing lol

 

[sweep_shot]

how many times teams play with each other in super 4?

All teams face each other. So, each team gets to play 3 games.

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

If we had kohlis wkt the power play would have gone to pak. Let's hope shadab and Usman Qadir can deliver today

*mohammed nawaz

 

[Major]

forgot we had nawaz, this can get intresting

 

[Shafi]

Kohli still miles ahead of Babar. Ranking doesn't actually tell the truth.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Issue is with such an under par score. You need very single bowler to stand up. One bowler getting hit can gift the game away.

 

[Haripotter]

India will loose if these two are gone. Sky and Hooda haven’t played Pak so will wriggle under pressure

 

[Major]

come on fakhar should had gone for that catch..... saving a boundary isnt gonna help us

 

[Shafi]

All teams face each other. So, each team gets to play 3 games.

Thanks! So will loose 2 matches most against India.

 

[MP2011]

Rohit looking really scratchy.

 

[Ab Fan]

India will loose if these two are gone. Sky and Hooda haven’t played Pak so will wriggle under pressure

Hooda ain't there, we have Pandya and Jadeja.

SKY played Pak last year.

 

[Varun]

Rohit getting frustrated. Seems to want a boundary.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

We have Iftikhar aswell in case of the bowlers get hit.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

No turn for Nawaz so far and now six

 

[Major]

easy six by rohit there, simple simple shot, it was as if he put no power on that

 

[JaDed]

Rohit has been ridiculous today , both him and Kohli are done for, not sure why they are stretching it.

and out

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nawaz lol

 

[MP2011]

Rohit hits 6, wonderful

 

[Protea Fan]

Timing the ball seems difficult in this pitch

You cant blame all batsmans simply

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Fat Clueless Rohit as always.

Pant fan calling Rohit fat?

 

[sweep_shot]

Rohit is on 6* from 15 balls.

Poor.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Out
