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

[castortroy]

Pak should be ashamed of themselves

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Ashwin wins it for India

 

[MP2011]

And we win

 

[GreenBee]

Kohli !!! Legend

 

[Sunzi]

How many chances did Pak need. Pathetic

 

[Major]

and folk, this is why you dont give the last over to a spinner, you always squeez in that spinner somewhere before

 

[boomboomcheema]

Nawaz bunch of loser.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan not going through pretty sure, this will crush the spirit absolutely.

Expect us to get smashed now.

 

[castortroy]

That's pak world Cup done

Worst bottle job I have seen by pak

 

[IAJ]

Chalo at least the NRR didn't get a hit here lol

 

[hamzie]

chacha shouldve boweld last over

 

[90MPH]

India won a miracle.

Pak should be embarrassed they didn’t defend that.

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

This game is singlehandedly lost by 1 man

 

[MP2011]

Thank you Kohli

 

[Sherazkhalid]

oh well, Nawaz was never the man for the last over, he needed like 25 runs and gave so many extras.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

My heart is broken

 

[Shafi]

As usual our bowlers lack of intelligence whether its Wasim Akram or Nawaz.

 

[sweep_shot]

How did Pakistan bottle this? India needed 48 runs from 3 overs at one stage.

 

[mrtaim3]

What a mental midget.

 

[Markhor]

Nawaz buckled under enormous pressure but don't put it on that.

If you don't pick a 4th seamer on a green tinged surface with an unfit pacer, then prepare to pay the price.

Congratulations India and to their fans.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Congratulations india.
It was shaheen over. Well played. Better luck next time

 

[Fazzy321]

Still prediction stands. Pakistan first round exit from this World Cup

 

[Geil]

And we win

When its pak anything can happened

won the game from the jaws of defeat

wonderful!

 

[castortroy]

Kholi once again kills pak

You can't have 2 spinners in Australia

 

[GreenBee]

I hope Pakistani players feel happy for Kohli, this guy always celebrated their achievements.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Rohit picking Kohli up like a baby

 

[Afzal_K]

FKK Man, what a match

 

[Usman Chadda]

and folk, this is why you dont give the last over to a spinner, you always squeez in that spinner somewhere before

Shaheen’s over cost us this game, to be fair. He is proving to be a massive weak link at the death, not even good, just outright bad. The guy loses you games, this has to stop.

 

[MP2011]

Not another Sunday, another heartbreak for us!

 

[Gollum]

Never ever give your weak bowler the final over. India would have made even 30 runs if they needed to.

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

What a game!!

 

[shamaan]

That wasn't a ball

 

[Shafi]

This team doesn't have any future. Just loose to S Africa and come back home. So we can removes bunch of clowns starting with Ramiz, Saqlain, Yousuf, Majed.............

 

[Firebat]

In disbelief. Mohammad Nawaz what have you done.

 

[Savak]

Virat Kohli played a legendary knock. Pakistani bowlers vilted under pressure. Babars captaincy as usual left a lot to be desired.

 

[ekpakistani]

How was that a no ball. Oh yes .. ICC = Indian Cricket Council

Chalo good fight by Pakistan

 

[Major]

not nawaz's fault. the captain is an utter buffoon..

playing half injured bowlers, getting ur spinner to bowl the last over just because he did it against Bangladesh.

This guy is not gonna learn from his mistakes, simple as that. He will keep on doing this again and again, and we have to accept it.

 

[Geil]

Ashwin should be escathic after that shahid afridi"S asia cup drubbing

 

[kingusama92]

No doubt that’s an iconic knock. Sensational performance by Kohli.

 

[Fazzy321]

Still trying to understand how there was a no ball in that Nawaz over

 

[shamaan]

The no ball cost Pakistan 5 runs

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

1 no ball and 2 wides in last over, there is only one culprit.

dont try to overthink this.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

2 wides and a no ball in final over speaks all, kohli the chase king what a batsman

[Smbhayi]

What a legendary innings Virat.. thought he'd play like that anymore..

 

[Jazx]

Virat is an absolute legend now onwards!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Once agains Pakistan put themselves in a situation where a spinner had to bowl the last over. Anyway fantastic cricket from both teams (not all players. Indian chokers brutally exposed by Pak pace and bounce.
Iftikar, Shaheen (with bat), Shan, Pandya, Kohli lot of memorable performances. There was only a very very fine line between the two teams today. One genius had to draw that line

 

[dravidthewall]

Chase master kohli

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

This team doesn't have any future. Just loose to S Africa and come back home. So we can removes bunch of clowns starting with Ramiz, Saqlain, Yousuf, Majed.............

Your team punched above their weights. Mohamed Wasim Jnr instead of Asif Ali would do good.

 

[MP2011]

Kohli teared up.

 

[gani999]

Pak fans, no need to get disillusioned.
This is one of the best T20 games I've seen in my life. Both teams were superb!

I always thought this format was only for pyjama leagues, but some more T20 games like this and I'll possibly stop following tests (Just kidding )

 

[Waleed93]

Clearly the greatest to have ever done it.

Absolute GOAT.

[Sherazkhalid]

Can't put it on Nawaz, he was going to go for runs, he was able to get Pandya out. He could have not bowled full toss and two wides but it started with Shaheen then Rauf. Rauf had an excellent over and gave 12 off last 2 balls.

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

Virat's 2 sixes of Haris over changed the game and they were not of bad balls. Virat the legend.

 

[mumtaz]

Pakistan were a fast bowler short on this pitch. Nothing else Babar could have done with just 12 overs of pace available.

 

[Jazx]

But that full toss does not looks to be called for a no ball

 

[shamaan]

[Shafi]

Partly true. Its always the case even with legend like Wasim, Waqar and Imran.
But 159 is good for small teams like Bangladesh, Ireland but not for India. India played really poor today. The match should be finished by 17-18 overs.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

1 no ball and 2 wides in last over, there is only one culprit.

Well that was not a no ball, don't know when spinners waist high are called no balls, and it was still tight. Yes, he shouldn't have bowled a full toss. But it is collective responsibility starting from dot balls from Rizwan.

 

[shamaan]

[Duckworth Lewis]

Shaheen far away from his pre injury levels. Clearly helped India. Naseem and Rauf were fantastic. Pakistan need Wasim Jnr in Asif Ali's place.

 

[castortroy]

How many big games have the bowling line up screwed up now

[jnaveen1980]

Definitely one of the top 5 T20 match in T20 history. Incredible come backs in this match from both sides.

 

[Kroll]

India + umpires 1 - 0 Pakistan

Umpires were desperate for Ind to win and Pak to lose.

I could wager my house, if that was a Pak bowler, would never have been given no ball.

 

[ekpakistani]

Shameless umpiring - nothing else.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Mohammad Rizwan is standing back to the spinner!
Not sure , whose call was that... why they asked Nawaz to bowl like a medium pacer....

Brainless and clueless as a team...

There is a reason why they dont bowl a spinner at the end.. Same Asia Cup mistake..

Anyways Rauf gave the momentum with 2 sixers in the final over and Shahen going for 17 in the previous over...

 

[Mp812]

How did Pakistan bottle this? India needed 48 runs from 3 overs at one stage.

Ipl experience. Seen this scenario and done it many times

 

[Birdman]

Good game, but a useless T-20. People will forget this game in a month.

 

[crazyfaizee]

Match ka mujrim ... Asif ali... We Sacrified fast bowler for him ..still he is useless and result is 0... ..no spinner should bowl last over especially against legnedary kohli n beast pandya... We should not blame nawaz as he has won us many matches ... how many matches Asif ali has won? Whats his contribution to team?

 

[gani999]

But that full toss does not looks to be called for a no ball

Doesn't matter. It went for six and would have gone for a six even if it had not been called a no-ball.
You don't bowl full tosses to a batsman like Kohli when he is in such a mood. He won't spare you.

Bowling two wides in the last over was probably a bigger mistake by Nawaz.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Harsh loss for Pakistan I guess. I thought your team played well just lost to an incredible innings. GG

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Pakistan should be ashamed ! Perfect bashing and they truly deserved it considering the blundering they have been doing for last few months.

[Devadwal]

There is one king and his name is Virat Kohli .all fake king shouldn't have use this word

 

[sam_ahm]

What an unbelievable match!!! 28 needed off 8 and Virat has pulled off an unbelievable chase. This was iconic and will remembered for a long time.

Having said that Pakistan bottled it in the end. Nawaz literally was a bundle of nerves in that last over, has he just bowled normally, it is unlikely that India would have got 16 runs. It was still many to get, even with 13 needed off 3 it was Nawaz who looked under pressure.

Pakistan can consider going in with a 4 man pace attack Mohammad Wasim here instead of Haider Ali would have been very handy.

 

[Smbhayi]

Rauf had an excellent over and gave 12 off last 2 balls.

That slower ball turned the game .
