India [161/7] defeat Australia [150/7] by 11 runs in first T20I

[tyron_woodley]

What a great delivery to bowl to smith. Long hop at 120kph

Australia is purposely stalling to make the game competitive vs India. Otherwise fans won't watch. They feel sorry for the Indians. They are home track bullies just like India. India can never win outside India.

 

[choudhary6964]

This should not count.India blatantly cheated here.

 

[imshally81]

Batting of jadeja and bowling of chahal.
Thats a 2 in 1 player.
Jadeja should not have been allowed to bat imo.

India is very lucky here...

 

[ethan hunt]

How many matches Pakistan has played in Aus? 3 complete T20 matches if I am not wrong?

Head to head is 13 vs 9 with Pak having upper hand. World T20 is 3 vs 3. Since 2018 its 5 vs 3 in favour of Pakistan.

Yeah. Pakistan has had the better of then in t20s in most places.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Blame Short for this wicket, putting pressure on the new batsman in to accelerate. Short better play a blinder or Langer will give him a real schooling after this match

 

[silentkiller187]

cant wait for the backlash if Chahal bowls india to the win haha

 

[imshally81]

This should not count.India blatantly cheated here.

Cheated... How?

 

[tyron_woodley]

Smith gone...

Biggest fluke wicket ever. So undeserved. Smith got bored and just wanted to muck around.

Still Australia middle order is too good for Asian teams In Australia.

India is a weak mediocre piece of trash t20 team away from home.

 

[Ab Fan]

More trolling, Chahal gets Smith now.

 

[Rana]

Why is Australia playing like Pakistan here??

 

[tyron_woodley]

This should not count.India blatantly cheated here.

Yes ban these idiots. This is the time anyway.
Indian can save face by getting banned before they get embarassed in the tests. Only mighty teams like Pakistan and Sri Lanka can win in Australia. We are backwards in tests and T20.

 

[watson367]

Short playing like Ahmed shehzad

 

[imshally81]

Why is Australia playing like Pakistan here??

Because we are supporting them...

 

[Rana]

That was plumb IMO

 

[angrypathan]

Maxwell is the one playing like he has a concussion here

 

[Rana]

Unless its pitched outside leg...

 

[Rana]

out

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Imagine these graphics in a Pakistan game, people would be calling for the Prime Minister to be sacked.

 

[Titan24]

That looked plumb, not sure why umpire didnt raise the finger initially

 

[angrypathan]

Imagine these graphics in a Pakistan game, people would be calling for the Prime Minister to be sacked.

Imagine these graphics in an India vs Pakistan game

 

[watson367]

Congrats to India

 

[Titan24]

Imagine these graphics in a Pakistan game, people would be calling for the Prime Minister to be sacked.

Exactly. There were mistakes as well in ODI series. When Maxwell was bowling it kept on appearing Cummins for few deliveries and one or two others as well.

 

[Mean&Green]

That was more plumb than a plumber

 

[Ahmed216]

This Maxwell is as poor as umar akmal. Always hyped for his talent but hardly wins a game

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Exactly. There were mistakes as well in ODI series. When Maxwell was bowling it kept on appearing Cummins for few deliveries and one or two others as well.

And yet it’s criminal for a completely new domestic tournament (the National T20 Cup) working with a new production team to make these kinds of mistakes a couple times in the first few games! Don’t see anyone saying anything right now about Australia.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Short finally gets to a 100 strike rate...

 

[Mean&Green]

Australia batting is over rated tbh they have a very long tail as well Abbot Starc Zampa Hazelwood only starc can barely hold a bat the other three are worst than India's tail with the bat

 

[Hasan123]

Chahal changed the game.

But I must say Warner and Cummins being out are big blows for Australia. Extremely difficult to replace.

Abbott is not a bad batsman, he's a rubbish bowler though

 

[silentkiller187]

india making a mockery of the concussion rule changed the game *

 

[Rana]

Henriques is a very good player of pace. Australia might as well open with him instead of Short

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Chahal changed the game.

But I must say Warner and Cummins being out are big blows for Australia. Extremely difficult to replace.

Rohit and Bumrah are better t20 players than them

 

[Thunderbolt14]

D’Arcy Short has to be man of the match if India win.

Alternatively, it would be pretty funny if Chahal got Man of the Match.

 

[angrypathan]

Short is such an ordinary player.

 

[Mean&Green]

Somebody take short off the field concussion maybe ?

 

[angrypathan]

D’Arcy Short has to be man of the match if India win.

Alternatively, it would be pretty funny if Chahal got Man of the Match.

Ravindra Chahal is the man of the match

 

[Hasan123]

Rohit and Bumrah are better t20 players than them

Bumrah is better than Cummins in T20 but don't think there is much in Rohit and Warner.

 

[imshally81]

4444

 

[Mean&Green]

Why is Australia ok with his batting like send out a message lmao

 

[Mean&Green]

Ravindra Chahal is the man of the match

Lmaooo

 

[Rana]

Aussies batting like the Aussies women team here against spin

 

[Rana]

Yes Aussie umpire!!

 

[imshally81]

Very tough call... Wide

 

[Rana]

Darcy short poor guy. Doesnt know how to get out.

 

[imshally81]

Short

 

[shariqnoor]

If Australia loses this match, the blame squarely lies on the shoulders of Hazlewood and Starc. The garbage they bowled in the last 3 overs was incredible. They bowled just 1 slower ball in the entire last 3 overs. And continously bowled half volleys. What should've been max 140, ended up 160.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

32(35) for Short, that’s insane.

 

[imshally81]

Overthrow and boundary... )

 

[angrypathan]

Henriques please run Short out. Surely Wade would do a better job here

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Kohli doing his best to give his Australia buddies a shot. Meanwhile this has to be the worst knock I’ve ever seen by an Aussie opener.

 

[imshally81]

Short gone...

 

[watson367]

Misbah would be proud.

 

[angrypathan]

FINALLY. Hope you never play for Australia again champ.

 

[Hasan123]

Not much batting to come. India are favourites here.

 

[Titan24]

32(35) for Short, that’s insane.

Unless he does really well in coming matches his career has taken a big hit.

Aussies are generally pretty tough on such performances.

 

[Ahmed216]

Seriously poor batting lineup this Australian. Technically the worst i've ever seen

 

[Mean&Green]

Lmao did the commentator say big wicket more like the only way India was winning they probably won't nown

 

[Thunderbolt14]

I wont be surprised if we dont see a lot of him going forward. Unless he does really well in coming matches, if selected that is.

Aussies are generally pretty tough on such performances.

Agreed, he put pressure on pretty much every other batsman that got out and then got out himself for 34(38). I don’t even remember the last time a Pakistani played like that, and that’s saying something.

 

[angrypathan]

Wade is one of the quickest runners between the wickets I've ever seen.

 

[Titan24]

Wade will target Chahal. Would only be possible if he can read the wrong one through the hand

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Really counting on Chahal to take two wickets in this over. No other way he can win man of the match.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Ole Gunnar Chahal

 

[angrypathan]

Man of the match to be shared between David Boon and Chahal

 

[ssuhaide]

Chahal set up Wade nicely there. Great bowling.

Australia have been very shaky chasing targets in the last few months, had a few shockers in England.

 

[OldWarHorse]

We are cruising here

 

[Hasan123]

Chahal should never been dropped in the first place. He is good in T20s.

 

[Hasan123]

Labuschange should play in place of Short in the next game.

 

[Titan24]

Surprisingly bowler didnt even appeal

 

[Mean&Green]

This is a joke of a match Chahal.sub review system not working lmao Kohli's fielding overthrows and Australia joke of a batting line up which ends at number 4

 

[Indiafan]

Batting of jadeja and bowling of chahal.
Thats a 2 in 1 player.
Jadeja should not have been allowed to bat imo.

jadeja scored only 8 more after being hit

 

[Thunderbolt14]

What a choke, “certain people” are gonna be referencing this series 2 years from now and calling it a complete demolition of Australia’s top team by India on their home turf, one for the ages

 

[nextover666666]

We all know how India won today not suprised only way they can beat Australia in Australia

 

[ethan hunt]

jadeja scored only 8 more after being hit

But he shouldnt have batted. Makes the rule look weird and the decision fishy

 

[Rajdeep]

People here were making fun of Natarajan and Chahar hopefully got a lesson.

 

[nextover666666]

Rohit and Bumrah are better t20 players than them

Funny joke

 

[Rajdeep]

India winning without even playing their best t20 bowler.

 

[ethan hunt]

Australia's bench strength is shocking
Darcy short, sean abbott, the other legspinner who only bowls half trackers.
Henriques is a journeyman.

 

[nextover666666]

People here were making fun of Natarajan and Chahar hopefully got a lesson.

Hype machine is on I see it's only one match were Australia basically allowed India to win not much to look into

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Some people are just bitter IPL bowlers outperformed their PSL rockstars who got slaughtered last year in the T20I's by SL 'C' team and then later by Australia. I truly empathise with them. Must be tough
