India (192/2) defeat Hong Kong (152/5) by 40 runs and qualify for Super 4 stage

[Hextro]

This match made me realise Pakistan might've won had Rahul not got out in the first over.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

36 off 39 balls
KL

Thank god he's gone

 

[sweep_shot]

India - 94/2 (13 overs).

Rahul is out. Caught behind.

Not bad for India. He was struggling.

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol Rahul and Kohli struggling to attack Murtaza and Sky just hit him 2 fours in 2 balls

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Super 4's mein KL ko hatao let Pant open... Hooda/ Pandya/ Jaddu/ SKY is solid middle order


SKY starts with a

 

[MP2011]

Rahul and Kohli are such panautis. And we still keep playing them in game after game.

And it reflects poorly on other teams that they still allow us to win.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yesterday, the pitch was just as sluggish as this sluggish as this until the 15th over of 2nd innings when the ball started sliding on to the bat beautifully.

Should look to step it up because batting might become way easier in 2nd innings.

 

[sweep_shot]

SKY is hitting well.

10* from 3 balls.

Why is he not an opener instead of Rahul?

 

[Smbhayi]

Nonetheless very good spell by Murtaza..

 

[sweep_shot]

Nonetheless very good spell by Murtaza..

Yes.

Finishes with 4-0-27-0.

Last over ruined his figure; gave away 13 runs.

This is the best team, no place for selfish batsman in my opinion. Kohli can anchor as he is a reliable one and rest can look to strike at 150 as they do.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pant has to bat in the top 3. Left hander is must. Otherwise, we cannot post above par scores on these kinda surfaces.

 

[JaDed]

Yeah i think its time for Rahul to be dropped that was a terrible innings.

India - 114/2 (15 overs).

Last 5 overs. How much more can they get?

Kohli is on 38* from 33 balls.

 

[Smbhayi]

Terrible terrible fielding..

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yeah i think its time for Rahul to be dropped that was a terrible innings.

The problem is these UAE pitches. On a true wicket, he might still be good. Having said that, there are more deserving guys currently whi cannot be ignored and he needs to step aside.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Kohli enjoying some minnow bashing today

 

[JaDed]

HK is full of Indian and Pakistani expats expect the worst fielding.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Guess we will score 180
Might be good against HK but need to change this approach for upcoming WC

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Monster :

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

They are playing naatu naatu in the ground ... lol

 

[sweep_shot]

SKY is on fire.

25* from 9 balls already.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

SKY has to play between overs 7-14... if he gets out cheap let Kohli anchor

 

[sweep_shot]

HK is full of Indian and Pakistani expats expect the worst fielding.

They fielded well. That was the only blunder.

 

[Villager6964]

LOL very disappointing crowd. I thought Indians would fill the stadium even against associate teams.
And as many Indians have claimed India has no rivalry against Pakistan.

 

[sweep_shot]

India - 134/2 (16 overs).

20 from the over.

Current partnership: 40 runs from 3 overs.

 

[Smbhayi]

Wow that's a very good over by Ehsan.. 3 Yorkers by him, impressive for a spinner.

 

[sweep_shot]

India - 138/2 (17 overs).

Looks like India may end up with 180-190.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Sky was struggling against Pakistan but here he is in mode.

 

[sweep_shot]

Back to back boundaries. SKY is on 35* from 15 balls.

Sky was struggling against Pakistan but here he is in mode.

Pakistani attack is world class. HK attack is not that good.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Was that a wide?

 

[Smbhayi]

That's not wide..

 

[Smbhayi]

And that's plumb lbw..

 

[Villager6964]

Indians have come alive against Hong Kong

Good news for Indian fans.

Are you sure? Naseem was playing his first match and that was Dahani's 3rd match.

 

[Rana]

Ahsan Raza has been a bit poor so far with his decisions

 

[sweep_shot]

Why is Hong Kong not reviewing anything? Poor captaincy.

They have reviews available and innings is almost over.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

That's not wide..

And sky himself was signalling it

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

666 by Sky

 

[Rana]

Hong Kong attack probably on par with some IPL attacks in why SKY comes into his own )

 

[sweep_shot]

Are you sure? Naseem was playing his first match and that was Dahani's 3rd match.

Naseem is not new to international cricket. Has a Test hat-trick and did well in ODI so far.

Not hard to transition from Test/ODI to T20.

 

[Smbhayi]

And sky himself was signalling it

It's part of the game.. may be that's the reason HK didn't review it..

 

[sweep_shot]

India - 153/2 (18 overs).

Last 2 overs. They should reach 180.

 

[Villager6964]

Suryakumar yadav is a good player i used to watch him in the ipl when he was with Kolkata knight riders.

Kohli 50 from 40 balls

 

[sweep_shot]

Kohli 50 from 40 balls

Yup.

Not the old fluent Kohli but good batting practice for him.

 

[Ab Fan]

India's batting today reminded me of the way RCB batted for years.

KL Rahul batted selfishly like Paddikal does.

Kohli batted like Kohli does for RCB.

SKY batted like ABDV.

But he has tons of potential he can easily become India's premier batsman in 6-7 years.

He is just amazing and he destroys IPL bowling attack every season.

What if pant is no 5 or 6 or 7 and kohli opens. He seems good enigh form for keeping the innings together. Others can try hit at strike rate 150 or so. Drop rahul for asia cup.. He is in terrible form

 

[sweep_shot]

Hong Kong is bowling a spinner in the 19th over. This is something BD should've done last game.

Third six for Kohli.

He's on 57* from 42 balls.

[Villager6964]

KL Rahul seems like a humble guy and educated as well but he hasn't been very good of late in international cricket. He used to be good in t20is atleast. In test cricket he was never good.

Hopefully they don't drop him after this match.

Have been saying this for long, he along with Kohli are just pulling our batting back by several notches but here are some who want them to play in each game irrespective.

 

[sweep_shot]

India - 166/2 (19 overs).

Final over to go.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Kohli should open the inning and Hooda should be included in the team.

 

[IccKnockout]

Hong Kong attack probably on par with some IPL attacks in why SKY comes into his own )

Never mind his gems against all other countries. I gues Pakistan is the only intnl quality attack

Ironically Pakistan were whitewashed by a county select xi 3-0 where Sky dominated the first choice attack

 

[sweep_shot]

SKY is the Indian ABD.

54* from 22 balls.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Sky 60*(23)
Kohli 59*(44)

 

[IccKnockout]

What a playa!!

I can see some fans here burning with jealousy coz they can only dream of having a hitter like Sky

 

[sweep_shot]

4 sixes in 5 balls!

Last ball to go.

190/2.

 

[Asif321]

What a waste of time watching this

 

[sweep_shot]

India finish at 192/2 (20 overs).

SKY finishes with 68* from 26 balls (strike rate of 261.53).

HK need 193 to win.

Pakistan won’t be able to score this much against HK

 

[Local.Dada]

Looks like after Pant and Pandya there is a new mediocre player in town who will be judged on every single thing just for the lulz

 

[Devadwal]

What a waste of time watching this

Then why you are watching ,has anyone forced to watch you?? Lol

 

[light]

Yadav was playing stick cricket, lol. This is what T20 is all about!

 

[IccKnockout]

Without SKY we would have struggled to save this match lol

 

[Rana]

That was a crazy innings by SuryaKong Yadav

On par with how Zimbabar smashes Zimbabwe

 

[docteurmanish]

Good performance by india . Kohli and rahul used the match to get time in middle . Augurs well for tournament .

Those who think sky is minnow basher should have seen his 100 against England . He is truly the best t20 player from the subcontinent currently . Add pandya and jadeja and pant and it’s a dangerous middle order .

 

[Local.Dada]

Never seen Babar get those 15-20 run overs with multiple 6’s in internationals. Maybe in PSL not so sure.

I have seen the much maligned Rahul and Jadeja do that in both internationals and IPL.

I think Rohit, Kohli, Sky, Pandya etc don’t need explaining.

 

[Zerotohero]

So now the following are mediocre according to one expert
Pant
Pandya
Sky

Just await for Pak vs Hong Kong match
Babar is gonna smash them at a SR of 200 plus becuase it’s so easy

Are you trying to take the credit away from Sky today?
