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

[Kaptan]

Totally waisted a golden opportunity to bat SA out.

This is embarassing.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Disappointing from SKY. Succumbed to the pressure. South Africa well on top now.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Jeez! India is choking!

 

[guard]

Dua only means prayer. The fact that you extrapolated that to something else only reveals your mindset , brother.

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

 

[jnaveen1980]

Before the over i looked at this specific fielder. I was hoping SKY noticed that fielder.

 

[rhony]

SA cooking!! He's been the bogey man for SA. Two failures so far Dube and Kohli to score for India. It's tough to hit if the ball isn't pitched up

 

[PakFan2010]

I predicted this.

India will be 50/5

Coming soon

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Kohli is too good of a player to fully fail in a tournament right? He has been awful so far in the world cup 2024. Surely he won't fail today. Laws of avg is going to catch up right?

 

[globetrotter]

India will all out at 110… SA all out at 88

 

[sweep_shot]

SA need to get Kohli out quickly.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

You know India are in trouble when they send Axar up the order

 

[adzzy786]

Kohli wicket here would be HUGE

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA can tuk tuk and chase this target down

 

[mominsaigol]

@Major u have the last laugh ..SKY looked nervy

Arei yaar we can go one thread without misbah sahib and indian hate. Enjoy the match

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Think there's been 3 bad shots tbh

Giving it away

 

[JaDed]

Should had send jadeja lol

 

[Kianig89]

Where is KL Rahul.when SA need him

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

360 player
Vitamin deficiency ✓

 

[oatmeal]

Team management has zero faith in Dubey. He doesnt bowl, is always demoted in the batting order. Then why is in the squad and playing XI

 

[RidiculousMan]

Sending Axar up is a good choice. He can support Kohli and play Maharaj well. This partnership will be key for India

 

[jnaveen1980]

All 3 wickets were gifts on a good batting surface. Stars align for massively.

 

[JaDed]

The approach is what we call in gully cricket- hit out or get out

 

[Human786]

39/3 in 5 - what is a par score ?

 

[Croma]

Pathetic batting. Succumbed completely to pressure.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Before the over i looked at this specific fielder. I was hoping SKY noticed that fielder.

The delivery didn't have enough pace and bounce for him to trust the wind that much

 

[jnaveen1980]

Seems like India's goal is to score as many as in power play regardless of wickets. But lost some valuable players.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I knew . that.. There is a fielder specifically for that

But he couldn't as you knew it

 

[shah_1]

Gully cricket

 

[FearlessRoar]

For the first time in this T20WC, India have lost 3+ wickets in the powerplay.

 

[JaDed]

SKy and Rohit were the reasons for our good score and they both r out lol

 

[Ahmed216]

Arei yaar we can go one thread without misbah sahib and indian hate. Enjoy the match

This is about the player brother... No Indian hate here

 

[Croma]

Whatever Kohli does from here, he will be blamed. poor chap

 

[Dhakar Pola]

39/3 in 5 - what is a par score ?

140 may be

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

39/3 in 5 - what is a par score ?

150

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 39/3 (5 overs).

 

[Mas-LFC]

Wth are they doing? Get some momentum going taking singles, low risk shots, build a partnership. It’s a final!

 

[oatmeal]

Seems like India's goal is to score as many as in power play regardless of wickets. But lost some valuable players.

Not a bad approach if you bat deep which India do but many of them are not tested in high pressure situations

 

[PakFan2010]

Harsha Bogle sounds broken.

 

[Thephenom]

Another choke incoming?

 

[globetrotter]

For the first time in this T20WC, India have lost 3+ wickets in the powerplay.

Credit goes to Rishab pant, he thrown his wicket

 

[Croma]

Par score is 180...lol

India is finished.

 

[oatmeal]

Kohli against Maharaj always makes me nervous

 

[rhony]

Terrific game so far. Each team.punching but SA is a bit on top.

 

[Nado_]

Apologies for my ignorance as I’ve been a bit of the mix recently but where is Gill, the guy looks much more quality than the likes of Pant and this Sky .

 

[shariqnoor]

Axar is India's forever sacrificial lamb. Always asked to bat in difficult situations and given the hard overs. To his credit, most often than not he's come up trumps. Quality player.

 

[sweep_shot]

Markram is bowling. Interesting move.

 

[RidiculousMan]

I wouldn't have taken Maharaj off. He was bowling so well Kohli.

 

[jnaveen1980]

COllapsing on a good batting wicket is criminal. Atleast look at the fielders before targeting an area.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Markram bowling in the PP. Is pitch sticky or two paced ?

Not watching the game, just following it through Cricbuzz.

 

[oatmeal]

That Sky shot was a total brainfart

 

[Croma]

Another choke incoming?

This is mega choke.. Failed on pure batting track.

BUt Kohli is there, last hope

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This is a good batting pitch. Yeah there's spin but its nothing like the semi-final pitches

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Run rate is still good for this pitch because of the first 8 balls

 

[RidiculousMan]

Whatever Kohli does from here, he will be blamed. poor chap

It's a bit similar to Babar and Rizwan. I know Kohli is a better player but more often than not they are the ones scoring runs of team in tough times.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Harsha Bogle sounds broken.

Was it him in November who was almost whispering at the end

 

[sweep_shot]

India's run-rate is good but lost a wicket too many.

45/3 (6 overs).

 

[globetrotter]

If India loose final… Match ka mujrim Rishabh Pant

 

[Mas-LFC]

It’s all on Kohli now.

 

[JaDed]

One of our worst PP performance and that too in final

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Said it before too that it's VK who's the one to take this game.

 

[RidiculousMan]

This is a good batting pitch. Yeah there's spin but its nothing like the semi-final pitches

Yep. But often what happens is the pressure of Final decreases par score by 10-20 runs. Still you have to score at least 150+ if not 170+.

 

[Nado_]

Terrific game so far. Each team.punching but SA is a bit on top.

SA clearly on top in my opinion , 3 down already on a good batting wicket . But if someone can go to through the gears it’s Kohli. Anything under 180 is advantage SA.

 

[Major]

@Major u have the last laugh ..SKY looked nervy

Wonder why @Rana dint tag me.

Told u the guy is an overated hack. He said it before match is under pressure

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Markram bowling in the PP. Is pitch sticky or two paced ?

Not watching the game, just following it through Cricbuzz.

So far none of the wickets were truly wicket taking delivery

 

[jnaveen1980]

India will not be able to defend anything less than 170 here. That is bare minimum because of final. If it is a regular game you need 190 here

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

First PP....we've wasted a gr8 chance by some halwa batting & halwa shots...but gr8 catching by Saffers

 

[oatmeal]

Is 2017 CT the only ICC event won by an Asian side in the last 10 years?

 

[mominsaigol]

Kohli will be a thorn, he'll anchor and make a 40 ball 50 lol

 

[BaaliSoda]

Could be that Nortje is off the field (niggle?) hence Markram is trying to compensate for him.

Strike that, nortje is bowling now.

 

[rhony]

This match has the vibes of 1996 world cup semi final between India and Sri Lanka. Jayasurya and Kalu getting out in first over. Desilva doing well and SL going to a reasonable score. SL spinners then bamboozled India.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

SA clearly on top in my opinion , 3 down already on a good batting wicket . But if someone can go to through the gears it’s Kohli. Anything under 180 is advantage SA.

Since it's SA I still think India will fancy defending anything over 150

 

[RidiculousMan]

Indian fans shouldn't lose hope. They are still ahead of the game as long as Kohli is here. 150-160 will be very competitive in the Final. One partnership and they will be on the way to score 160+

 

[Nado_]

They just bowled Markram in a powerplay over and he oBly went for 6 runs , brilliant captaincy

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli will be a thorn, he'll anchor and make a 40 ball 50 lol

He won't hurt you like Rohit can do.

 

[Devadwal]

We are not crossing 140 . Congratulations South Africa for 1st ever world cup trophy

 

[globetrotter]

Yep. But often what happens is the pressure of Final decreases par score by 10-20 runs. Still you have to score at least 150+ if not 170+.

Pressure will be more on proteas when they chase above 130 in final

 

[sweep_shot]

Nortje is in the attack. How would India handle his pace?

 

[mominsaigol]

He won't hurt you like Rohit can do.

I'm aware. SA ontop atm and this batting wicket is beautiful. But tbf it is also spin friendly

 

[Devadwal]

Axar is not last against sheer pace

 

[Nado_]

Since it's SA I still think India will fancy defending anything over 150

There is that , if SA so what they are known to do which is bottle then even 120 is enough lol
