India (181/9) defeat England (166) by 15 runs to claim the 5-match T20I series by an unassailable lead of 3-1

[jnaveen1980]

Hardik shows his swag only in ICC matches. He doesn't care about bilaterals.

 

[Justcrazy]

113 . 5

30 balls to go

 

[Justcrazy]

Hardik shows his swag only in ICC matches. He doesn't care about bilaterals.

Hardik wants to be the captain

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hardik wants to be the captain

Yea His batting is highly suspicious. His loss of vice captaincy in ODI,loss of captaincy in T20 all point to a silent protest

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is the standard of Mahmood. This guy got away with 3 wicket maiden lol

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Pandya and Dube cooking something big now

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sanju , SKy failing in tandem is hurting this side. Otherwise this is a dangerous side when Parag is back

 

[jnaveen1980]

From 12/3 India has come along well.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Sanju , SKy failing in tandem is hurting this side. Otherwise this is a dangerous side when Parag is back

Sky has been sucking for a while. Its been a while since I saw him play any meaningful T20 knock.

Sanju needs to get his brain checked. He is too talented to gift his wicket the way he does.

 

[sweep_shot]

TEAM IPL - 146/5 (17 overs).

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pandya is in destruction mode

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pandya proving that this is a brilliant batting wicket.

210 is minimum and 240 would be a winning total.

India will be 20 - 30 runs short of par score I feel.

 

[sweep_shot]

What is Overton doing? Bad over.

 

[Champ_Pal]

TEAM IPL - 146/5 (17 overs).

This is not team IPL. This will be the team a year from now.

Only Bumrah and Jaiswal are missing from this squad.

 

[sweep_shot]

Hardik's balle balle is over finally.

Overton gets Hardik.

166/6 (18 overs).

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is not team IPL. This will be the team a year from now.

Only Bumrah and Jaiswal are missing from this squad.

Paragh should be a certain starter.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Hardik gone.

India will struggle to score 190 I feel.

 

[PAKFAN12]

Important wickets for england, Hardik can score 30 more runs in 2 over.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Paragh should be a certain starter.

Who will get dropped to fit Parag in the team?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Who will get dropped to fit Parag in the team?

bishnoi. He is an useless entity

 

[The Bald Eagle]

England would be feeling the heat after squandering the early advantage.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India didn't play RInku and DUbe last match.

 

[Champ_Pal]

bishnoi. He is an useless entity

Bishnoi is a leggie. He is useful on spinning tracks.

Unless Parag can replicate Bishnoi's bowling, I doubt India will drop Bishnoi for an all rounder like Parag.

 

[sweep_shot]

178/6 (19 overs).

How much more can they get?

 

[Champ_Pal]

Dube making a strong case for his inclusion in the squad. His problem is consistency.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

First time Dube opposition ko le dube

 

[Champ_Pal]

178/6 (19 overs).

How much more can they get?

My prediction was 190.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nitish reddy is another guy> india has a lot of hitters

 

[Champ_Pal]

Indian batsmen have mastered picking fielders in the deep with pin point accuracy.

Axar gone.

 

[sweep_shot]

Axar is out.

Arshdeep is out.

2 wickets in 2 balls.

180/8.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Nitish reddy is another guy> india has a lot of hitters

Pretty hard for selectors. Not sure who will get dropped for who.

I feel Nitish or Parag should come for Axar.

I would pick Axar in Test squad. His batting is valuable in Test matches.

 

[Champ_Pal]

India well short of 210 par score here.

England should win this if they do not succumb to spin.

 

[sweep_shot]

Brilliant final over. 3 wickets and 3 runs.

India finish at 181/9 after 20 overs.

England need 182 to win.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Poor finish for India.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Brilliant final over. 3 wickets and 3 runs.

India finish at 181/9 after 20 overs.

England need 182 to win.

England to carry the momentum and win this?

 

[FearlessRoar]

Kevin Pietersen is a horrible commentator. Sorry to say this, but he’s just a waste of space in the commentary box. As a viewer, I feel robbed when he commentates.

 

[FearlessRoar]

After 12 overs - 87/5
After 20 overs - 181/9

 

[Justcrazy]

182 is the target for Poms

 

[Justcrazy]

Excellent comeback by India , they are on top here

 

[Ahmed216]

After 12 overs - 87/5
After 20 overs - 181/9

Very good recovery. Looked like game over after the first 10 overs

 

[sweep_shot]

England to carry the momentum and win this?

England have batting firepower. They can chase it down easily.

But, it can go either way I guess.

 

[OldWarHorse]

That's a great guess

 

[Ahmed216]

England have batting firepower. They can chase it down easily.

But, it can go either way I guess.

It's a very good surface when Hardik is able to tonk the pacers. He's a spin basher

 

[Justcrazy]

8 in first over.

 

[Justcrazy]

England has to play spin well to chase this.

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch looks good , England need to bat with more purpose and smartly , instead of playing rash shots

 

[Justcrazy]

After 2 overs its 19

 

[PAKFAN12]

180 is a below-par score here
If England plays sensible cricket, they should chase this total easily
But asking for sensible cricket from modern-day players is too much to ask

 

[jnaveen1980]

India about 30 runs short seemingly. Outfield is rapid. Ball just speeds along

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dew on a wicket like this is massive advantage for team batting second

 

[OldWarHorse]

Brutal

 

[jnaveen1980]

16 series India unbeaten..just now i learnt. That much attention i have paid to T20 series

 

[Justcrazy]

England need 150 runs in 103 balls.

 

[jnaveen1980]

ODI series is the one that i am interested in.

 

[Justcrazy]

16 series India unbeaten..just now i learnt. That much attention i have paid to T20 series

I do not see any team breaking this in near future

 

[Justcrazy]

Spin introduced , this is the key

 

[Ahmed216]

ODI series is the one that i am interested in.

3 ODIs?

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms need to play Varun cleverly here

 

[jnaveen1980]

3 ODIs?

yea.

 

[Justcrazy]

Only 5 from Varun over.

 

[Justcrazy]

53 from 5 overs

India has got spin from both ends

 

[Ahmed216]

Wow this guy Bishnoi has already played 41 T20Is

 

[Devadwal]

Oh wow forget about this match .

Just seen the scoreboard, indian top order failed yet again

Now what a brutal batting by England openers

But don't take it seriously

 

[mominsaigol]

@sweep_shot told you, They fluked these 2nd t20 and won the first due to England getting accustomed.

England are a better whoteball and test team then India atm.

Very excited for Ashes this year. It'll be more competitive and unlike India their won't be any drama nor will any one take their shirts off for a rained off drawn game.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Oh wow forget about this match .

Just seen the scoreboard, indian top order failed yet again

Now what a brutal batting by England openers

But don't take it seriously

I am here only for sixes. India got 8 of them.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Time for Jos the Boss now

 

[Justcrazy]

Ducket gone , 39 from 19 balls

 

[Justcrazy]

India going with all out spin attack , 12 overs of quality spin to negotiate

 

[Ahmed216]

Harshit Rana as a concussion sub for Shivam Dube? Must be a joke

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Gambhir is doing a lot of "Firsts". India hasn't lost to ENgland in ODI series for 36 or 40 years. INdia has unbeaten 16 T20 series streak. Both will be broken

 

[Ahmed216]

England showing their vulnerabllity against spin

 

[Devadwal]

Buttler and books both will win the match . This is Very good batting pitch and dew May play some roles

 

[Devadwal]

Buttler and books both will win the match . This is Very good batting pitch and dew May play some roles

Butler gone but still brooks and Livingston are at The crease now

 

[The Bald Eagle]

England bottling it now

 

[OldWarHorse]

Impact sub in T20Is?

 

[Ahmed216]

They recognise Arshdeep has weak arm for a deep fielder. Picking easy twos

 

[Devadwal]

Good partnership building for england and probably match winning.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This pitch has nothign for any bowler. Easy peacy under lights. India chased 350 here with ridicluous ease against England. Jadhav made 121 in 76 balls

 

[Ahmed216]

Who checks for Concussion? Complete farce this

 

[Devadwal]

Lol this is cheating .how can rana is like to like replacement of Dubey.
