India (171/7) hand a crushing defeat to England (103) by 68 runs to secure their spot in the finals of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024

All three spinners can bowl today limiting Hardik's overs possibly. His bowling is potentially one weak spot on this pitch

He always looks like he gives up way too easily. Imo he is not captain material. He maybe a good player but not the right fit as captain. Poor attitude.

Expressions doesn't matter in Cricket. Performances do. As a captain he has showed he is one of the best in India. Undefeated in CWC 23 before the Final. Undefeated in this WT20 with one step on the door to win the WT20.
 
I think its an OK score. Honestly, I don't see how we could have done much better. The England bowlers are no mugs( except Curran). They are skilled and they are intelligent.

But the hardest part of the game is coming up for India. They have to figure out a way to stop England's batting onslaught.

Pandya could be good on this pitch with his hitting the right areas and varying his pace

You are 25 above par.

Sharma and Yadav pretty much finished the game in my opinion.

England have to bat out of their skins on this pitch.
 
Either we'll be walloped by 8 wickets or something

Or win this with some margin. Don't think this will be a close one either way
 
10 runs below par score.

If salt and buttler get going, this total will look ridiculously low. The only way India can win this is by getting 3 wickets before power play.

Conspiracy by ICC to give bad pitches to Asian teams so that Eng and SA qualify for finals.

Pathetic and disgraceful behaviour by ICC. Corrupt to the core
 
I don't get it. Dube is supposed to be the specialist spin hitter and yet you send him at No.7 in the death overs? How does that work? Poor role clarity
 
INdian management hates changing a winning team even if there are players sitting outside who can do better than the non performing players.

Very weird ... I think they are very very superstitious.

Thats the answer I gave you a while ago :dw They are both from MSD's CSK

But why though? What has he done when there is so many better talented available,? Guess they want to try and win with these players so they can claim dhoni had an influence with his recommendation perhaps?
 
Worst is Jadeja is a darter he will put pace on the ball which will cause issues

He won't bowl either Rofl

This is comedy by india.
They say SA quota is bad. This is ipl quota lol
 
If India qualify, someone needs to injure (sorry) DUbe so Rinku SIngh can get a look in

That is a winning total. It is difficult to chase anything over 140 at the Crabhole. It will suit the spinners

Myth. Scores of 165 have been chased in 17.5 overs in the past.

165 was bare minimum and we got there. But 190 would have been relatively safe. Good bowling can defend that.
 
good score on this pitch
it won't be as straightforward as adeilaide, england will have to work for their runs
I have india as favourites atm

But they can change loser players like kohli hadeja (I don't care about what he did by fluke today) and dubey

Arshdeep will be the key. He should not get hammered today. That should be his goal

He should be a wicket taker on this deck , any good spinner should.

It’s not a huge score but because of spin on this pitch , India are strong favourites with the bookies .
 
Kohli, pant and Dube have been huge disappointments in this WC.

Pant showed signs of brilliance, but not good enough for a no.3 batsman. Kohli looked clueless the entire tournament.

Dube is neither a batsman nor a bowler. Just a lower order hitter who strut on slow wickets. His bowling is a joke.
 
IN IPL Punjab had some good hitters lower down the order. Were they like hacks or really good? I dont remember their names....
 
This could be Kohli, Sharma and Jaddu's last LOI game. I'm fairly sure they are done either way after the tourney but if India lose it will 100% happen

Dube is worse than azam khan lmao. What a farce. India do make some weird selections.

He has looked like a deer caught in the headlights all tournament. Sometimes its actually better to drop someone rather than hoping that they will magically start performing after constant failures

As a neitral i just want 1 thing

Cracker of a match
1 run win or last ball 1 wicket win
Or Supppppper overrrrr
 
50-50....imho....
What do the gr8 minds think?...
We just gotta boss the pp ...what say!
Hope arshi gets swing....hope jazz boom is on song...
 
India will probably still win this but it's crazy how Jaiswal needs to watch a grade-A loser Dube steal his spot. If Jaiswal batted at No 11 he would have more impact on the team than this loser if he opened.

It’s the 60 to be targeted then .

England need to go hard from over 1 , even burning 2 wickets .

Later it will be very tough to score at 10s

They are good enough to chase this, plus pressure due to their agressive batting, Hopefully we don’t drop many if chances are created.
