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

[JaDed]

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

Lanka 2014..T20

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

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

Not watching the game, just following it through Cricbuzz.

He probably wants to eat into Marco Jansen overs....maybe he feels Jansen is not hit 2day

 

[Dhakar Pola]

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

As long as Kohli is there don't lose hope. It's SA chasing and you have bumrah. It's going to be hard for SA even if India scores 140

 

[PakFan2010]

Kohli and Axar are playing the Kohli-Rahul partnership from the final in 2023.

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is flat. But i have to say it holds up a little. Another example

 

[Croma]

If you send Axar above Dube, what does that tell you about Dube?

 

[JaDed]

Lol I didn’t think we will get floored against Saffers but clearly they had very good planning and expected us to attack

 

[rhony]

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.

180 is 30 runs over parnon this dry pitch. Also chasing in the final is tricky. Good.length balls are tough to hit

 

[Human786]

IND will lose this boyz .... 49/3 in 7

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jaiswal against Maharaj would have been a different ball game

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Anrich Nortje is the bowler Haris Rauf and Mark Wood wish they were

 

[BaaliSoda]

He probably wants to eat into Marco Jansen overs....maybe he feels Jansen is not hit 2day

You have a point.

Hope we somehow crawl past 100 runs first and then 140 if we are lucky.

 

[rhony]

If you send Axar above Dube, what does that tell you about Dube?

Axar is there to rotate. Dube will be there to hit

 

[chinaman00]

That Sky shot was a total brainfart

I have always said SKY has Pakistani DNA. Someone do a test on him

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Still think India will win.

SA if they do hats off

 

[sweep_shot]

Lol I didn’t think we will get floored against Saffers but clearly they had very good planning

It seems like you do not follow SA team that closely.

 

[mominsaigol]

As long as Kohli is there don't lose hope. It's SA chasing and you have bumrah. It's going to be hard for SA even if India scores 140

Tbf this whole tournament sa has loved chasing more then batting first lol

 

[KingKhanWC]

170 par

Axar looks a club batsman. . Seems kohli knows this

 

[Croma]

50 up for India.

 

[oatmeal]

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

They have pulled a lot of close games in this world cup. It's opposite to how they usually play

 

[followed]

They can't let axar guy settle here.
He does well under pressure.

 

[pillionrider]

We've got this boys

 

[gani999]

I predicted this.

India will be 50/5

50/3 after 7.1 overs

And what's your next prediction?

 

[sweep_shot]

Hardik, Jadeja, and Kohli. Need to get these 3 guys out quickly.

 

[JaDed]

It seems like you do not follow SA team that closely.

Oh please , you said India will lose to everyone we played against Aus Eng etc..

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Jaiswal against Maharaj would have been a different ball game

I have been saying this. You pick dube over Jaiswal and don't even send dube in when team is in trouble.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

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+.

As long as Kohli is there, India have every chance of getting that.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

And Akshar maxes Aiden!!!

 

[Mas-LFC]

as much as I want SA to win, I also want to see a good final and good total put up. It’s a decent batting wicket even Ponting said it!

 

[kach]

ITs the occasion and law of averages, somewhere some team has to lose a cluster of wickets earlier than usual and be in a tough spot. India used to do it in knockout games, they just marginally improved and now its the finals.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Haraha begging kohli to come good lol

 

[sweep_shot]

Markram generally doesn't bowl. He is bowling today.

I think he shouldn't bowl any longer. Axar just hit him for a six.

 

[Nado_]

180 is 30 runs over parnon this dry pitch. Also chasing in the final is tricky. Good.length balls are tough to hit

Bumrah be deCok is going to be huge

 

[JaDed]

Hardik, Jadeja, and Kohli. Need to get these 3 guys out quickly.

Jadeja and Kohli wont do any damage if Axar Hardik stay they will

 

[globetrotter]

Six by Axae …what a shot under pressure

 

[BaaliSoda]

Oh please , you said India will lose to everyone we played against Aus Eng etc..

You still give too much respect by responding to that lowly troll, nanba!

 

[Mas-LFC]

Just over for 6!

 

[followed]

Markram is being dumb.just bowl your main bowlers

 

[Nado_]

They have pulled a lot of close games in this world cup. It's opposite to how they usually play

Yes in this tournament they have been playing solid

 

[Human786]

150

thoda short lagta hai ... 59/3 in 8

 

[leonidas_alexandar]

Axar Patel - what an asset he's been for India this WC. Quintessential all rounder especially in these conditions.

 

[Croma]

Axar is on 18...WOW...

 

[Devadwal]

Axar will not last long.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Man does Dube look like a spare prrick at a wedding in this batting lineup. Again they didn't trust him to take on the spinners

 

[Nado_]

Bumrah be deCok is going to be huge

Bumrah vs*

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Aksar never looked like a good bat to me to be fair. But this guy players well under pressure

 

[gani999]

I have always said SKY has Pakistani DNA. Someone do a test on him

All Pakistanis have Indian DNA. And that's already been tested and proved.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Lucky to cross the rope but run rate needs upping now

 

[sweep_shot]

Markram shouldn't bowl now. Releasing pressure.

2-0-16-0.

He has Shamsi. Why is he bowling himself?

 

[globetrotter]

Today Axar will hit 50

 

[JaDed]

I hope Axar is studying the pitch as well

 

[kach]

This is where the great Australian team under Ponting shined, they were in situtations like these in crunch games but they always came out on top, they had so many match winners.

 

[Nado_]

Man does Dube look like a spare prrick at a wedding in this batting lineup. Again they didn't trust him to take on the spinners

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

 

[rhony]

Good over. 10 runs. If these two can get to 90 in 12 overs, another 60 to 70 in the last 8 is possible. That's a good score on this wicket

 

[RidiculousMan]

This is a good pitch. India can still get 170+

 

[JaDed]

Keshav bro the star today lol

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Jadeja and Kohli wont do any damage if Axar Hardik stay they will

Not necessarily.....
They both didn't play 15 years + .... without doing a lot of damage ...
They both are well capable off....just keep the faith bro... keep the flame

 

[Croma]

Saffers being smart and finisheing their spin overs quickly before demolition Dube come to the crease

 

[rhony]

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

He's not a T20 player

 

[sweep_shot]

Markram shouldn't bowl now. Releasing pressure.

2-0-16-0.

He has Shamsi. Why is he bowling himself?

Just realized it is probably due to Jansen. He gave away 15 runs in the 1st over.

 

[jnaveen1980]

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

 

[KingKhanWC]

Markram generally doesn't bowl. He is bowling today.

I think he shouldn't bowl any longer. Axar just hit him for a six.

Perhaps but it’s vital for South African skipper to lead & deliver for them to win .

World class captain

 

[JaDed]

Not necessarily.....
They both didn't play 15 years + .... without doing a lot of damage ...
They both are well capable off....just keep the faith bro... keep the flame

They were capable of, but they are out of form in batting.

 

[gani999]

I like the way they are rotating the strike. Not very many dot balls. Other teams should learn

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Yeaaaa.....Akshar!!!!!

 

[Human786]

look at that lady

 

[Croma]

Wow Axar!

6!

 

[mominsaigol]

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

Sitting at home watching like us

 

[Devadwal]

Axar will not last long .

 

[globetrotter]

Today kohli was in a mood to thrash SA bowlers, but pant failed his plans

 

[sweep_shot]

Perhaps but it’s vital for South African skipper to lead & deliver for them to win .

World class captain

I think it is because of Jansen's first over. He was expensive. Markram is probably keeping options open.

Good captaincy. I agree.

 

[JaDed]

Focus Axar

 

[KingKhanWC]

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

Plenty of time on this track . Kohli has to bat through, Patel must attack

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Axar is changing the momentum back to India

 

[OldWarHorse]

Fine cricket atmosphere. Proper final like, much better than Ahmedabad

 

[Human786]

68/3 in 9

 

[RidiculousMan]

Shamsi has to bowl now. Need wickets

 

[jnaveen1980]

Axar will not last long .

He just has to deal with their spin option and force them to bowl seamers

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Axar is clutch

 

[leonidas_alexandar]

Kohli's appreciation for Axar -just reinforces his own role to basically keep going all the way through to the 20th over mark.
