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

[Devadwal]

Not going to score more than 140 .

Dube is not last against Jansen

 

[JaDed]

Keep going Dube

 

[LegendAli]

Do or Die for Dube. International career on the line tbh.

 

[Nado_]

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

West Indies prob played half those innings

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Jansen making sure he's giving enough runs to the opposition today

 

[RidiculousMan]

Who is this commentator still whining about Axar’s runnout? Move on

Was it Dinesh Karthik?

 

[Aman]

I call it amazing, for South Africa

Man is playing against India.

 

[Statpadder Inc]

44 off 40.

I dare someone to call this anything other than bad.

Terrible innings

 

[JaDed]

You don’t do any monkey business when South Africa is fielding. One wrong move and you are a toast.

Very true , nothing beats their fielding

 

[Mas-LFC]

165-170 in a international t20 final always a good score!!

 

[globetrotter]

India need 55 in 34 balls

 

[sweep_shot]

India should reach a par score or an above-par score.

But, game is 50-50 currently.

 

[JaDed]

Kohli is struggling.. sad to see him like this but it is what it is Yuvi 2014 felt this way too

 

[shariqnoor]

For a guy that tall, Jansen has very poor lengths. Mohammad Irfan used to bowl better.

 

[Croma]

165-170 in a international t20 final always a good score!!

That is really far away

 

[PakFan2010]

Kohli is doing a Babar and Rizwan

44 off 41 on this pitch is hilarious.

 

[mrtaim3]

Was it Dinesh Karthik?

Not sure who that is.. I’m watching on Sky

 

[JaDed]

165-170 in a international t20 final always a good score!!

lol we lost with such a score against Eng in semis. 2022

 

[Human786]

118/4 - 5 to go

 

[globetrotter]

Kohli is struggling.. sad to see him like this but it is what it is Yuvi 2014 felt this way too

Kohli playing wisely, he will blast in last 3 overs

 

[mominsaigol]

If SA win, Kohli will get so memed lol

 

[sweep_shot]

Sky is very gloomy. I hope it will not rain before 25 overs are done.

 

[JaDed]

needed 120..

 

[KingKhanWC]

They will choke. Let them bat.

India has lost more finals , maybe take the chokers tag from today

 

[Devadwal]

Kohli is not going to hit any six today.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Shamsi still needs to bowl 2 overs

Dube will try to take him on

 

[shariqnoor]

Bumrah alone is worth 20 runs. India will probably defend 155-160. They might end up with 170. QdK will most likely flop again in a crucial match.

 

[Aman]

Is it in the commentators contracts not to criticise Kohli?

He's been garbage so far.

14 off 4 freebies now has eaten 40 balls for 32 runs.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

lol we lost with such a score against Eng in semis. 2022

That time you don't had bumrah

 

[JaDed]

If SA win, Kohli will get so memed lol

It’s ok he has to get memed, Yuvi got lotta heat 10 years ago as well for 2014 final

 

[BaaliSoda]

Kohli is doing a Babar and Rizwan

44 off 41 on this pitch is hilarious.

With the way we started our innings and the kind of form that Kohli has been in till today's game, I am sure most Indian fans will take this score any day.

 

[sweep_shot]

Shamsi still needs to bowl 2 overs

Dube will try to take him on

Not necessarily 2 overs. SA have options because Markram also bowled 2 overs.

5 overs to go. Nortje has 2 overs left. Rabada has 1. Maharaj has 1. Jansen has 1. Shamsi has 2.

 

[rhony]

Very close to my target of 120 in 15. Last 5 overs target 50 runs. Score 170 and give yourself a great chance. Pitchnis already getting tough to hit on length

 

[Devadwal]

Shamshi to get Dube wickets

 

[FearlessRoar]

Zero boundaries in 10 overs . Extraordinary innings by Kohli but in wrong format

 

[Mas-LFC]

Right. Kohli needs to go hard next over. India need a big 15run over

 

[Croma]

Shamsi bowling a winning spell.

 

[Aman]

If India win it will be Inspite of Kohli.

 

[Human786]

collapse loading ?

 

[sweep_shot]

Very close to my target of 120 in 15. Last 5 overs target 50 runs. Score 170 and give yourself a great chance. Pitchnis already getting tough to hit on length

170 should be a great score on this pitch.

 

[mrtaim3]

Is it in the commentators contracts not to criticise Kohli?

He's been garbage so far.

14 off 4 freebies now has eaten 40 balls for 32 runs.

He has been holding one end. Very important in a partnership but now its time to change gears.

 

[globetrotter]

Shamsi getting spin, good news for Indian spinners

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Need a big 18-20 run over ...cmon shivam

 

[FearlessRoar]

Virat Kohli at 46*(43) at the end of 15 overs. if he gets out with compensating at the death, this might go into a hall of shame knock..

 

[gani999]

Tabraiz Shamsi was the no 1 bowler in T20Is not too long ago. Now he's nowhere in the top 10. Fast fall, that.

 

[Croma]

I cant believe SHamsi bowling such a economical over....lol

 

[rhony]

Kuldeep must be licking his lips

 

[Devadwal]

170 should be a great score on this pitch.

Its a flat wickets .170 is easy chase

 

[Croma]

DUbey manages a 4

 

[oatmeal]

They need to get a move on now. The risk is that trying for 180 could mean getting out for 150. So they have to read the par score very well

 

[rickroll]

Dube needs to come in good today, think its IPL Dubr and you are facing Delhi lo

Dube is a dud. He may connect 1 or 2 but will have no big impact. Your Dube is our Asif.

 

[Human786]

126/4 - 24 balls left

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

South Africa are getting a little predictable with their plans

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

It has to be the next over ...we gotta smash them...

 

[Aman]

He has been holding one end. Very important in a partnership but now its time to change gears.

Run a ball is only acceptable on a rank sub 120 pitch.

 

[Croma]

16: 126-4

Hey! Wait a minute... this looks like a decent score

 

[globetrotter]

India need 44 in 24 balls to get 170

 

[JaDed]

Dube is a dud. He may connect 1 or 2 but will have no big impact. Your Dube is our Asif.

That is true but sometimes some players are capable of one good inning

 

[oatmeal]

Jadeja hiding behind everyone

 

[rhony]

8 runs of the over. I think another boundary was needed in that over

 

[Devadwal]

Kohli need to attack now .

 

[chinaman00]

Need a big 18-20 run over ...cmon shivam

Kohli is gonna do this once it’s past over 17.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Had a poster used puja etc, what would you or other have extrapolated from it? Nice attempt to Gaslight..

Stop projecting your gaslighting tendencies on others .

I wouldn't have extrapolated anything from it.

 

[Nado_]

Still only 8 off the over . Pacers just need to keep it tight and not bowl full.

 

[Mas-LFC]

lol we lost with such a score against Eng in semis. 2022

That wasn’t a final though. A final has more added pressure chasing init

 

[shariqnoor]

Against India, you just don't play spinners. It's a waste of space. Maharaj just got 2 lucky wickets.

 

[BaaliSoda]

If somehow we can sneak another 30+ runs in the next 4 overs that will be more than par score for this track.

 

[rhony]

Kohli showed a bit of intent in the last over. He should go for it now

 

[Devadwal]

 

[KingKhanWC]

Kohli has to start scoring now . 170 is min imo

 

[PakFan2010]

Kohli batting for his 50.

Pandya sitting in the dugout.

 

[Savak]

India already has too many runs. Don't see South Africa having any answers for Bhumra and Kuldeep

 

[Croma]

This is pathetic batting...lol

 

[oatmeal]

Dube is only taking singles.

 

[Mas-LFC]

SA get the set Kohli out now they can keep them under 155

 

[leonidas_alexandar]

Kohli is struggling.. sad to see him like this but it is what it is Yuvi 2014 felt this way too

While Kohli is struggling - not as bad as Yuvi though. Most Indians probably begged and prayed for Kohli to play the kind of innings he played at least till the 12th over mark. It is critical how Kohli ends here - he absolutely has to ramp up.

 

[Human786]

rubbish cricket by these 2 ....

 

[rhony]

Kohli should go big here

 

[JaDed]

Kohli hoga apne ghar ka kholii

 

[Croma]

I think India are uber confident they can defend this score.

We fans are worrying baselessly.
