India (160/6) clinch last-ball 4-wicket victory over Pakistan (159/8) in the final over at the MCG

[MP2011]

Indian batting even worst than pakistans

All credit to Kohli and his captaincy tenure.

 

[Major]

That was NOT OUT. Rizwans hands disturbed the bails.

file a case in court.

that was out, hit the wicket. umpire is there to do his job and he did it

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

For those fans who say that this is just another match for India should watch the match. Look at the pressure on players.

 

[sarwar707]

Was not happy with the decision or disappointed with their batter, not sure

 

[Geil]

This is pure nerves here, India not able to cope under pressure and all falling like sheep

This is no way a difficult target to chase

 

[ScotRaz]

Wish the DJ only plays Dil Dil Pakistan once the game is won

 

[Waleed93]

Siuuuuuuu

 

[saabir]

Come on India show some fight . I want to see a good match of cricket. Padya and Kohli are our biggest hope now to take us across the line. Take the match deep we have Dinesh Karthik who can smash 50 in last 4 easily.

 

[Inswing]

Maaaaan just get Kohli asaaap please.

 

[Ashmal]

Credit to Pakistan, they have been great today except for first few overs of their batting

Tbh India panicked

 

[saabir]

Pitch is not that bad to bat what r they doing.

 

[Fazzy321]

For those fans who say that this is just another match for India should watch the match. Look at the pressure on players.

Right.. they can say all they want that it’s just another match but deep down they know there is a lot of pressure.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Bails dislodged by gloves with ball not in contact with it. Definitely not a out for me.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Spinners should hurry up their overs while the pressure is still on and make it beyond their reach.

 

[Rana]

They still need to attack

INDIA can’t allow this rr to creep up

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

India happy to rotate strike, they know we can hit in the end.

 

[imshally81]

file a case in court.

that was out, hit the wicket. umpire is there to do his job and he did it

Exactly.. It was clean with every angle that was shown @TV

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Tbh India panicked

No idea why, there was no need for it.

 

[t_kaay]

10 an over for the last 10 overs will be very difficult against our bowling.

 

[crazyfaizee]

Pandya can change thee game ...need his ..wicket ..

 

[castortroy]

Spinners have never worked in Australia

 

[10sion]

RRR over 10 now. Come on pakistan get hardik now.

 

[Kroll]

Hardik will be looking to play the Iftikhar innings, spinners need to be on guard.

 

[Ashmal]

For those fans who say that this is just another match for India should watch the match. Look at the pressure on players.

Those fans are hiding now

 

[chinaman00]

Another indian... Welcome dude..

Not an Indian but that dismissal looked very dodgy to me.

 

[Rana]

[MENTION=135038]Major[/MENTION] kanwla ho gaya hai after Rizwan 4 off 14 )

 

[10sion]

Spinners have never worked in Australia

Afghanistans spinners did quiet well against England

 

[Asif321]

What heroics??

Match losing

 

[GreenBee]

Kohli seems to be entering the near-retirement Dhoni phase right now. Tuk Tuk Tuk and it amounts to nothing in the end.

 

[Geil]

For those fans who say that this is just another match for India should watch the match. Look at the pressure on players.

clearly India choking big time, I would expect this strong Indian batting line up to chase 160 comfortably against any bowling attack, very pathetic from Indian batters

 

[mrtaim3]

India happy to rotate strike, they know we can hit in the end.

Its not 60m ground. They have to keep up the pace as any mishit in the end would land into fielder's hands

 

[Fazzy321]

Not an Indian but that dismissal looked very dodgy to me.

It was a close call looking at it again but again third umpire call not Pakistans fault

 

[Ahmed216]

Was definitely a case for playing Mohammed Wasim considering Shaheen’s fitness. Could’ve easily replaced asif ali

 

[world cup captain]

Getting either wicket will be huge but Pandya is surely the bigger wicket here. His ability to hit 14-15 overs consistently is something that will come into play later.

 

[Asif321]

Indians have been poor . Afghans are our real rivals now .

 

[Kianig89]

Rr also surging

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Win Predictor Pak at 89, still fell it's a useless thing.

 

[10sion]

kohli indeed king against pakistan

 

[imshally81]

Need lot of dots ball here

 

[Firebat]

Looks like Indian batsmen have been watching too much of their Pakistani counterparts.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Its not 60m ground. They have to keep up the pace as any mishit in the end would land into fielder's hands

Indian batters are good timers of the ball. They don't rely upon power.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

10 an over for the last 10 overs will be very difficult against our bowling.

We can lose still.

Don't forget Asia Cup final and last year's semi

 

[Ashmal]

No idea why, there was no need for it.

They clearly haven't recovered from that loss in WC last year.

They have looked nervous in every game vs Pakistan post that 10 wicket loss

 

[Kianig89]

This game will take a twist don't discount India yet

 

[msb314]

Keep it tight Shadab

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Need to choke them of singles as well. Build pressure and get wickets.

 

[MP2011]

Who plays a scared kitten like Rahul at the top of order in a T20 game? We deserve all humiliation coming our way.

 

[imshally81]

Just 3 runs in shadab over

 

[crazyfaizee]

Bring shaheen back here

 

[Rana]

119 to get from 66 with 6 wickets

Tough ask

 

[10sion]

10 runs from 3 overs of spin so far.

 

[90MPH]

India need a miracle from here.

That’s not being overconfident, just realistic.

 

[Kroll]

India can still do this, 10+ rr isn't out of bounds of reality.

 

[10sion]

This game will take a twist don't discount India yet

True. Kohli, Pandya, Karthik, Ashwin can all hit big

 

[shariqnoor]

Terrific start.

But this is where I don't like Babar's captaincy. Clearly he has in his mind how to bowl 20 overs. Naseem should've been bowling to Pandya who just came in. But he gave it to Nawaz. These two are just going to get set here with the spinners bowling.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

They clearly haven't recovered from that loss in WC last year.

They have looked nervous in every game vs Pakistan post that 10 wicket loss

Personally to me CT final was a bigger of a drubbing than the WC, that came out of nowhere.

 

[Waleed93]

If we can score 100 runs in the last 10 overs, so can India.

Babar has to keep on attacking here. Great captaincy so far.

 

[MP2011]

Lol at Kohli's tuk tuk

 

[mrtaim3]

This is pure nerves here, India not able to cope under pressure and all falling like sheep

This is no way a difficult target to chase

Think your suggestion for "a Captain Asif Ali" will not let them leave you for a time.

 

[Major]

we saw what happened in asia cup final, so Pakistan needs to stay in the game and not get carried away

 

[Rana]

Hardik will be looking to play the Iftikhar innings, spinners need to be on guard.

That was a once in a lifetime innings

Chacha is immortal now

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Here comes todays nightmare....spin on this match .... If spinners do well .pakistan wins ...if leak runs..then game over

Terrific start.

But this is where I don't like Babar's captaincy. Clearly he has in his mind how to bowl 20 overs. Naseem should've been bowling to Pandya who just came in. But he gave it to Nawaz. These two are just going to get set here with the spinners bowling.

Getting away with spin asap maybe

 

[Markhor]

IND cannot afford to lose this partnership. PAK spinners have begun tidily.

Would've been handy to have an extra seamer, wonder if they're worried about the slow over rate penalty.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Crap music by them Indian guys

Making everyone's ears hurt

Just sit down!!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

This game will take a twist don't discount India yet

With Kohli and Hardik in the middle, trust me no one is.

 

[imshally81]

First double after PP

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to get these two out soon, as long as they stay in India have a chance.

 

[imshally81]

Good fielding

 

[Rana]

Shaheen clearly unfit

He is being hidden in the field

 

[GreenBee]

Let's see if 3rd umpire gifts Pakistan another wicket, will be all over then.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Maybe throw one over to ifti.

 

[msb314]

Keep it tight

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Big shot coming

 

[Major]

nawaz and shadab are bowling well.

 

[imshally81]

Another good over

 

[Rana]

Nawaz and Hardik

The Yuvraj and Malik of this generation

 

[Inswing]

Excellent 10 over by Pakistan.

 

[90MPH]

IND cannot afford to lose this partnership. PAK spinners have begun tidily.

Would've been handy to have an extra seamer, wonder if they're worried about the slow over rate penalty.

Pak definitely 1 seamer short but the spinners have bowled immaculate so far.

 

[10sion]

India need 115 in last 10 overs.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Let's see if 3rd umpire gifts Pakistan another wicket, will be all over then.

Guess in the end things even out. wink wink Sachin wink wink wc too.
