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

[Kroll]

That was a once in a lifetime innings

Chacha is immortal now

Hahaha, brilliant don't know about immortal though.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Has to be a massacre from India for Pakistan to lose this now



















We are winning this

 

[Rana]

Get through Shaheen’s laboured overs now

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

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

Some of them have already chickened out even though the match is still going on and India can still win it.

 

[10sion]

Big shot coming

Is there a choice? RRR is 11.5. Big shots better be coming.

 

[Major]

hardik and kohli both are dangerous, especially hardik against our spinners, so hoping for more overs to go through

 

[ammar_merry]

We curse babriz for 45 runs powerplay.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Need to get a wicket, India are on the move, and not sure how spinners can hold them back.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

This is the crucial period when teams come back against Pakistan. Pakistan need to, above all, not panic when hits start coming.

 

[Rana]

Hahaha, brilliant don't know about immortal though.

Because it’s chacha, he is immortal

Very popular man in Pakistan

 

[10sion]

Dravid down there. Man intense discussion. Would love to be able to hear what is being discussed.

 

[MP2011]

Indian bowlers are to be blamed too. No way we should have been chasing 160, 130 should have been the maximum target after the start we had.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

India still favourites here ! They will take it deep and finish it off.

 

[t_kaay]

We can lose still.



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

That's why I said it will be difficult, not impossible. Pakistan favourite now though

 

[Kroll]

Kohli and Pandya sizing it up for the onslaught.

Will Indian juggernaut come to the full force?

 

[Rana]

We curse babriz for 45 runs powerplay.

Don’t worry

Indians will do very good chitrol of their openers

 

[alishahid]

Its a pretty good set up by babar. It is not a spining wicket and getting 8 cheap and quick overs from them is the best

 

[imshally81]

Shaheen clearly unfit

He is being hidden in the field

Good fielding by him..

 

[GLORY OF '92]

94% only we can choke it from here

 

[10sion]

12 from 21 by Kohli. If this was riz or babar chasing thiss core they would be slaughtered in this forum.

 

[t_kaay]

India still favourites here ! They will take it deep and finish it off.

I say Pakistan are better set

 

[saabir]

Problem for India is not much left .only Dinesh Karthik after this and he can score quick fire cameos only. They are taking it deep and remain in the game

 

[Snowflake]

We've got good but this is unbelievably poor from India

 

[Rana]

Kohli and Pandya sizing it up for the onslaught.

Will Indian juggernaut come to the full force?

They both need 50 off 30

Can’t have two cameos

 

[t_kaay]

2 more tight overs needed here to close it off

 

[MP2011]

India need 115 in last 10 overs.

We'd be lucky to score half of those.

 

[Geil]

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

Rohit quoting India well prepared for this match in that pre match press, after that humiliating debacle against Pak in previous T20 WC.

Clearly looks like Rohit tactics as a captain has failed to lift the team,

I mean India lost that CT2017 too but they weren't as nervy and under pressure the way they looked today

really pathetic given that India won the toss, it is a average score,

Expects India to chase 160 against any attack

big time choking under pressure

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

I say Pakistan are better set

Unpredictable they are ! one minute down next minute up. Who knows which side they turn up to.

 

[ammar_merry]

Indian bowlers are to be blamed too. No way we should have been chasing 160, 130 should have been the maximum target after the start we had.

Iftikhar and shaheen blitz did it for Pakistan. Next 2 over are very crucial after the break. Will decide the fate of the match.

 

[Snowflake]

94% only we can choke it from here

What's 94%?

 

[10sion]

94% only we can choke it from here

Stranger things have happened in the cricket field.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Thought Naseem came back and took out Kohli, and then realized it was highlights.

 

[Rana]

Hardik is going to go here

 

[Inswing]

I didnt even dreamed of a start like this. Just get kohli and pandya please.

 

[Waleed93]

Our fans troll Babar and Rizwan for scoring at 7rpo in the powerplay.

 

[t_kaay]

93% win probability for Pak at the moment

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

India wasting harmless overs of spin. No intent at all.

 

[imshally81]

4 by Pandaya

 

[Major]

hardik going after shadab

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

4444 by Pandya

 

[Rana]

Shadab was murdered many years ago at the oval by Hardik

 

[Shafi]

12 from 21 by Kohli. If this was riz or babar chasing thiss core they would be slaughtered in this forum.

Kohli has 5th gear where Babar and Rizwan can accelerate up to 3rd gear at most.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

I didnt even dreamed of a start like this. Just get kohli and pandya please.

Yep seems too good to be true

 

[Snowflake]

Our fans troll Babar and Rizwan for scoring at 7rpo in the powerplay.

Because India isn't the benchmark for everyone

 

[Sherazkhalid]

94% only we can choke it from here

That Win Predictor is the single most useless thing I have seen.

 

[MP2011]

Rohit quoting India well prepared for this match in that pre match press, after that humiliating debacle against Pak in previous T20 WC.

Expects India to chase 160 against any attack

big time choking under pressure

We played exactly same batting line-up in last WT20 as we are in this WT20. Shows we have learnt nothing from our last year's debacle.

Dravid has been shocking as our coach.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Pandya getting in groove. He is so dangerous irrespective of the attack.

 

[Inswing]

Hardik will open his arms surely.

 

[imshally81]

50 for india in 11th over

 

[Rana]

Our fans troll Babar and Rizwan for scoring at 7rpo in the powerplay.

You think Indians are proud of their team’s effort in the PP?

 

[saabir]

Target the spinners Hardik . Kohli can hold one end like Shan did in Pakistan inning. If a average player like Iftikhar can hit 4 sixes in no time Hardik can hit lot more

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Because India isn't the benchmark for everyone

Well benchmark should be England.

 

[10sion]

50 up for India.

 

[Ashmal]

Pandya the key here....need to get him

 

[Markhor]

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

Yeah, looks like IND's plan was to see out the pacers and target the spinners.

But our spinners are no mugs. Hopefully even if we do get hit a bit, we don't lose our heads.

 

[imshally81]

Harmless singles for india

 

[10sion]

Target the spinners Hardik . Kohli can hold one end like Shan did in Pakistan inning. If a average player like Iftikhar can hit 4 sixes in no time Hardik can hit lot more

Against equally average bowlers?

 

[Geil]

The body language of India batters, clearly looking under immense pressure

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Need to break this partnership. Get them and we are home.

 

[MP2011]

Shadab is being allowed to get away. But that's what 4 wickets do to you.

 

[10sion]

23 runs from 5 overs of spin.

 

[Rana]

9 when 12 are required

Small small victories here

Especially with spinners being brave and bowling through

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Come on Shadab too many loose deliveries

 

[Inswing]

Pandya scares me the most more than virat.

 

[imshally81]

9 runs in last over

 

[crazyfaizee]

Fast bowler here.... They will go beserk at spin

 

[msb314]

9 off the over but we are still ahead

 

[Kroll]

Another wicket please, can't let these two settle

Edit Juggernaut in full force!

 

[Bewal Express]

Ind still well in the game with 2 guys who have done this for a nearly a decade. Still a 51 to 49 Ind game

 

[Varun]

We need to go nuclear.

 

[Ashmal]

Pakistan have been good in the field so far

 

[MP2011]

Iftikhar and shaheen blitz did it for Pakistan. Next 2 over are very crucial after the break. Will decide the fate of the match.

Yeah, Ifti was tremendous. Pakistan owe this total to him.

 

[Shafi]

Really need Pandya wicket.

 

[imshally81]

6 by pandiya

 

[10sion]

This bowling and performance [if pakistan wins] should not stop waseem from replacing asif. Will be a better all rounded side

 

[Sherazkhalid]

9 runs, they have started, one over like Axar will change the complexion of the game.

 

[Inswing]

First six of the innings. Pandya wont spare us if he gets going I SWEAR

 

[Rana]

Game on

Pakistan need to bring back pace and go for wickets

 

[todfod 11]

India winning this easy..

 

[Waleed93]

Pandya is a high impact player.

A player any team would love to have.
