India (176/7) crowned champions of ICC T20 World Cup 2024 after a 7 runs victory against South Africa (169/8)

[JaDed]

Axar to slog hopefully connects

 

[followed]

They are capable is diff from the pressure they r in.. Jansen is back Kohli need ls to target him

Just one big over against either of shamsi or Jansen and they will score 170.

 

[rhony]

That's Kohli's highest score in this WC I think

 

[Croma]

Axar to slog hopefully connects

Yeah. Indian depending on him big time

 

[KingKhanWC]

Patel lucky no tree nearby to axe

 

[sweep_shot]

Jansen is pronounced as Yansen. Why not write it as Yansen? LOL.

 

[Asif321]

India are ahead 160 would be enough for SA

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This is where the game is really interesting to me. India's running between the wickets vs. South Africa's fielding. Any trademark Kohli innings is full of some efficent running between the wickets during the middle-overs. If South Africa can save runs there and possibly affect a crazy catch/runout then it could change the momentum completely.

 

[gani999]

10 overs to go.

Rabada has 2 overs left.
Nortje has 3 overs left.

These 5 overs are crucial.

Add the one remaining over by Maharaj to that.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Much prefer t20 break after 10. The leagues around the world have time outs any time. stuffs slows down the game even more! Ipl has time outs in the 6-7th over I remember!! It only just started!

 

[JaDed]

Jansen is pronounced as Yansen. Why not write it as Yansen? LOL.

Like Jose.. is hose..

 

[followed]

Axar settling in nicely. Maybe they have read the pitch.

 

[sweep_shot]

Like Jose.. is hose..

I know. I don't know why it is written like that.

 

[Croma]

To anyone watching live. Did you guys see any swing today?

 

[JaDed]

Wasted over.. ball is coming to the bat and Kohli needs to finish it off

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Where is Gill , sorry if there an obvious answer I’ve been out the mix lately

Gill, Jaiswal, Samson...take your pick

 

[Human786]

82/3 in 11

 

[OldWarHorse]

This is a bit too slow, one of them needs to start connecting a few

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

To anyone watching live. Did you guys see any swing today?

Not really though Jansen was very wayward with the new ball

 

[Devadwal]

Easy win coming up for South Africa .we are far behind .

 

[sweep_shot]

As per Nasser Hussain, this is a 160 pitch.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Easy win coming up for South Africa .we are far behind .

Far ahead

 

[Statpadder Inc]

Still angry at Rubbish Pant

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

To anyone watching live. Did you guys see any swing today?

Very very less.....I feel Arshdeep - is going to be canon fodder

 

[mominsaigol]

Easy win coming up for South Africa .we are far behind .

You've been saying that for every team besides australia lol

 

[Croma]

Its clear these two donot trust Dube

 

[JaDed]

As per Nasser Hussain, this is a 160 pitch.

Can’t take him seriously after last game, his analysis doesn’t make sense

 

[Devadwal]

India scoring near to 160

Bhai shant hoja @Bhaag Viru Bhaag @Nikhil_cric samjao ise

 

[rhony]

Getting close to my target of 90 in 12. Dube, Pandya, Jadeja can bat out the rest. Axar needs to kick here

 

[sweep_shot]

Get 14 more overs and we don't need to worry about rain.

 

[Croma]

Very very less.....I feel Arshdeep - is going to be canon fodder

In that case India need 170-180 maybe more.

Oh and how about turn

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Akshar vs tabby ...this will b interesting

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

KOhli is playing way too slowly. He needs to score some risky free boundaries somehow

Kohli will be connecting with ease on this pitch if he's there in the final phase. So far this has been a trademark Kohli innings

 

[JaDed]

Axar should connect has the power

 

[gani999]

Jansen is pronounced as Yansen. Why not write it as Yansen? LOL.

Dutch name. 'J' is pronounced 'Y' in Dutch.
Also 'V' is pronounced 'F'.

JAVA is YAFA in Dutch.

 

[followed]

Axar will slog now.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Barbados is pretty expensive, but should be a full house .

It’s time India speeds up , good track

 

[Nado_]

As per Nasser Hussain, this is a 160 pitch.

That doesn’t mean this current pitch he’s just going by stats. I think 180 is par, the ball is coming on nice and all wickets were gifts

 

[leonidas_alexandar]

Crucial 50 run partnership for India. Needed this after those 3 quick wickets.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Axar hitting 3 sixes now

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

In that case India need 170-180 maybe more.

Oh and how about turn

Yes, to turn....but slow & low ....not gripping....
I feel saffer are doing a lot better than us ...
If we don't get 180 ....we re cooked ..

 

[sweep_shot]

3rd six from Axar.

 

[followed]

Lol shamsi such an average bowler. Why do they even play him.

 

[JaDed]

Finally a six , cmon on Axar dont stop u r capable

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Everyone saying ind batting feels like 2023 world cup. Let me tell you India would have won if it was SA who was chasing in that final. So India can still win batting like 2023

 

[rhony]

Atta boy Axar!! Nice innings this

 

[Human786]

93/3 in 11

 

[Croma]

12: 93-3

Need to launch now.. maybe... I dont know

 

[sweep_shot]

Axar is playing a great innings here.

 

[gani999]

Does anyone here think India should have bowled first?

 

[globetrotter]

Axar playing very important inning of his life similar to Gautam Gambhir played in 2007 final against Pak

 

[followed]

Axar has single handedly swung the match in India's favour.

 

[PakFan2010]

Axar would get into the Pakistan team as a batsmen.

 

[JaDed]

Kohli should target Nortje

 

[rhony]

India is slightly on top here. Axar the difference maker. Need need 120 by 15th over.

 

[Croma]

KOhl is looking to bat till end. Meaning Axar will have to slog now

 

[KingKhanWC]

Surely catch coming , Patel hit & hope

 

[mominsaigol]

Axar patel will be key, kohli is a thorn so far 42 of 36 lol

 

[sweep_shot]

Does anyone here think India should have bowled first?

No. I think batting first was a great choice.

 

[globetrotter]

Bhai shant hoja @Bhaag Viru Bhaag @Nikhil_cric samjao ise

Now 94/3 in 12 overs means India going around 180

 

[Devadwal]

Axar is not last against sheer pace of Nortje

 

[Nado_]

India will be looking to go at ten runs an over here

 

[followed]

Axar would get into the Pakistan team as a batsmen.

Without any shadow of doubt. He is a better batsman than most of the hacks in Pakistan team.

 

[sweep_shot]

I think Saffers should stop bowling spin now. India have been hitting spinners easily.

 

[JaDed]

Wont blame Kohli for today’s innings we were in a spot bt he should target fielders now

 

[PakFan2010]

India are definitely behind.

13 overs gone and a run rate of below 8 is not enough.

 

[JaDed]

I think Saffers should stop bowling spin now. India have been hitting spinners easily.

India? You mean Axar..

 

[JaDed]

Man missing those leg side ones is unfortunate, keep trying Axar

 

[Devadwal]

Bapu playing dots now.

 

[mominsaigol]

Axar would get into the Pakistan team as a batsmen.

Who wouldn't? Pakistan's tail starts at 3 lol

 

[Croma]

13: 98-3

Hmmm Intersting.

 

[PakFan2010]

Kohli is batting too slowly.

 

[sweep_shot]

Nortje has been bowling well. India couldn't hit any boundary in his 2 overs.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

If India lose this final today, this inning from kohli and send Axr ahead of Hardin and Dube will be criticized as hell

 

[rhony]

Hitting pace on length balls is not easy at all. Everyone struggled

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Need about 3 big halwa overs....
VK has to play the same....
But Akshar has to max tabby & Kesh now...

 

[OldWarHorse]

Well behind right now. Kohli needs to pick it up

 

[JaDed]

Hopefully Kohli knows what he is doinh

 

[Markhor]

The avg 1st inns score at Kensington Oval in completed day games is 159 since start of 2010.
