India (196/5) defeat Bangladesh (146/8) comfortably by 50 runs to pave their way for a probable Semi Final berth in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024

[Dhakar Pola]

I love our and the Indian national anthem. Both written by the great Rabindronath Tagore. These two songs are so beautiful and have such great meaning

 

[HARKS]

Well biggest good news for indian fans is Dravid and his lackeys will be going out.
Fact that Jaiswal , samson , Rinku singh Natrarjan , Abshiek sharma not in team tell about how under dravid we will never ever win any tournaments .

 

[mominsaigol]

He should be able to perform just about now. It's been so long for a quality batter like him. That being said I also prefer him as no. 3.

He may perform, but it's unlikely to be an explosive innings.

Provs a 37 ball 50

I expect him to do well against Australia more than today.

 

[Devadwal]

Why is rohit wanted to bat first if india won tbe toss .

This macho man can cost another trophy if india opt to bat first against England or Australia in Semifinals/ Final

 

[jnaveen1980]

He may perform, but it's unlikely to be an explosive innings.

Yes. Last time against Bangladesh he played a tuk tuk innings which almost cost us the game.

 

[BDfanforever]

Khali and Rohit loves batting against BD. Best team to come back to form for them.

 

[AAli98]

BD National Anthem feels like a Bhajan.

There anthem lasts longer than there openers

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Bangladesh have won the toss and ELECTED TO LOSE

 

[jnaveen1980]

This pitch is too dry by the look of it. It might break as the sun bakes it

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Agree with the others U named, but natrajan? There's surely about 25 guys younger & better than him

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indians don't play this Klassen like backfoot shot against short ball

 

[sweep_shot]

Off-spinner Mahedi is opening the attack.

He had a good time against the Aussies (4-0-22-0).

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

CONGRATULATIONS to bangladesh on winning the toss. THAT IS ALL THEY WILL BE WINNING TODAY

 

[cricketmania22]

Somebody else should open up with Rohit, so Rohit can play himself in and the other batsman can strike the ball. Rohit becomes very deadly once he spends 4-5 overs on the crease.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Off-spinner Mahedi is opening the attack.

He had a good time against the Aussies (4-0-22-0).

He was bowling against lefties. Not so sure how useful he would be against Rohit and kholi

 

[jnaveen1980]

This move is specifically for Kohli i think. Even in IPL KL Rahul opeened with 2 left arm spinner against Kohli.

 

[sweep_shot]

India - 8/0 (1 over).

 

[Dhakar Pola]

There anthem lasts longer than there openers

Ha ha ha can't argue there

 

[jnaveen1980]

87 meter six

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

6 from VK....!!!

 

[sweep_shot]

Shskib is being taken to the cleaners.

Taskin should've bowled here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

ANy runs from Virat is bonus for India given this move

 

[mominsaigol]

Why start with spin? Lol

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Kholi will come back to form today. I don't know if this is good or bad for India to be honest. I still think jaiswal opening would serve India better with kholi may be at 3

 

[sweep_shot]

India - 23/0 (2 overs).

15 off the over.

 

[shortbread]

Cmon Banglas, look alive!

 

[globetrotter]

Wow first six hit by Virat instead of Rohit

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Bowling medicore spin vs India.

Only hope was with Pace.

 

[followed]

Saqib ul hasan should be kicked out. He has become such a useless player

 

[globetrotter]

India need 200 to beat Bangladesh

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Shskib is being taken to the cleaners.

Taskin should've bowled here.

His bowling looks absolutely toothless

 

[shortbread]

Kohli is a walking wicket outside offstump, smart to bring on Tanzim!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kholi will come back to form today. I don't know if this is good or bad for India to be honest. I still think jaiswal opening would serve India better with kholi may be at 3

It doesn't matter. Rohit made tne announcement very early that except openers all the others are flexible. Jaiswal is not playing for sure.

 

[sweep_shot]

Saqib ul hasan should be kicked out. He has become such a useless player

He is finished. Should be replaced now in T20 format.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

I love our and the Indian national anthem. Both written by the great Rabindronath Tagore. These two songs are so beautiful and have such great meaning

Looked up BD anthem & meaning on Google...it's so wonderful

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why start with spin? Lol

Shakib move is worth a gamble. IN IPL teams got 50/50 success against Kohli opening with left arm spin.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Opening with a 3rd grade spinner mahadi and a toothless passed expire date shakib lol. I want to know who's genius Idea was this

 

[sweep_shot]

Pitch seems good for batting.

 

[Champ_Pal]

These 2 oldies will flop miserably when they play Australia and England.

Time to make merry and boost their stats against these Taskins, Rubels and Dollars of the world.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Opening with a 3rd grade spinner mahadi and a toothless passed expire date shakib lol. I want to know who's genius Idea was this

Shakib did well in the test series against Kohli.

 

[shortbread]

The more I watch the aggression and standard of cricket the last few games, more I'm convinced that not qualifying for the super8s wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

 

[Champ_Pal]

It doesn't matter. Rohit made tne announcement very early that except openers all the others are flexible. Jaiswal is not playing for sure.

If he is flexible with openers, then he needs to sit out for Jaiswal. He will never do that.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

What happened to the other mehedi miraz dude? I thot he was pretty decent bowler, batsman & fielder....is he injured?

 

[Human786]

decent start .... can they get 200 ? 39 in 3.3

 

[sweep_shot]

Why is Shakib bowling again?

 

[Human786]

39/1

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit gifted the wicket. what a pathetic shot.

 

[AAli98]

ICC were better of investing in Argentinian cricket than the 5foot 1 inches Bangladeshis minnows since the mid 80s no sign of improvement.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pitch looks like a belter.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Gavaskar is defending his Mumbai guy Rohit.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Shakib did well in the test series against Kohli.

Shakib is a shell of his former self now. Thinking he would do well today In my view was stupid

 

[sweep_shot]

Shakib gets Rohit.

39/1.

 

[oatmeal]

Rohit gone.

 

[jnaveen1980]

180 plus wicket given that pitch may slow down after 10 overs.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

& sharmaji ka beta goes,
Good start but ye Dil maange more...
Hope sharmaji ka damaad provides the fireworks

 

[Dhakar Pola]

What happened to the other mehedi miraz dude? I thot he was pretty decent bowler, batsman & fielder....is he injured?

Not picked for the WC. Coach is not a big fan of him

 

[mominsaigol]

Rohit is finished beyond belief. If he plays CT 2025 then rip.

At his best he'll hit 1 to 2 sixes and get out and at his worst he's getting out on a golden duck

 

[jnaveen1980]

lol@clever piece of bowling. That was just a brainless hoick.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Rohit wasted the opportunity to boost his stats. His style of batting is high risk and against Australia, he will be badly exposed.

 

[JattMaula]

Excellent intent by both openers.

 

[globetrotter]

Bangla fans brought tigers in stadia

 

[Devadwal]

Hahaha pant

 

[Champ_Pal]

Rohit is finished beyond belief. If he plays CT 2025 then rip.

At his best he'll hit 1 to 2 sixes and get out and at his worst he's getting out on a golden duck

In Rohit's mind he is still as good as he was in 2015.

 

[shortbread]

When the captain plays like that, the bravado transcends to rest of the batsmen. Rohit has been poor, but the team sees that he's not playing for himself but to a plan.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Rohit is finished beyond belief. If he plays CT 2025 then rip.

At his best he'll hit 1 to 2 sixes and get out and at his worst he's getting out on a golden duck

If Indian team comes to Pakistan then Lahore pitches will help him. But yea he's just about retired.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think this pitch is a bit tacky already. ANother match power play will play a major role given that this is a day game.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Kohli striking at 130 against mighty Banglas.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Shakib has his 50th wicket in T20 world cup. Tbh I am happy for him. I don't think anyone will take 100 wickets in the T20 WC so being the first to get 50 wickets is a big thing for him.

 

[apnapind]

Rohit is finished beyond belief. If he plays CT 2025 then rip.

At his best he'll hit 1 to 2 sixes and get out and at his worst he's getting out on a golden duck

What do you think bro india in this world t20 can they finally win their their icc trophy or aus eng wi are just too good to not let india win?

 

[FearlessRoar]

Sunil Gavaskar via commentary: "Rohit Sharma has played a fine hand for India, giving a great start."

 

[Champ_Pal]

When the captain plays like that, the bravado transcends to rest of the batsmen. Rohit has been poor, but the team sees that he's not playing for himself but to a plan.

The plan is to strike a 6 and get out.

 

[Human786]

42/1 in 5

 

[jnaveen1980]

Seems like Pant is taking time. May be instructions? Usually he would have reverse swept already.

 

[AAli98]

Sunil Gavaskar via commentary: "Rohit Sharma has played a fine hand for India, giving a great start."

If Ind/Pak didn’t have agendas they would leave America & China behind on everything

 

[Dhakar Pola]

To be honest I expected worse in the power play from us

 

[FearlessRoar]

Opening partnership for India in T20 World Cup 2024

39 vs Bangladesh
11 vs Afghanistan
1 vs USA
12 vs Pakistan
22 vs Ireland

 

[Devadwal]

Pant what sre you doing? Don't waste good start . playing dots after dots in PP us criminal

 

[mominsaigol]

What do you think bro india in this world t20 can they finally win their their icc trophy or aus eng wi are just too good to not let india win?

India can win, Australia are superior by miles but India can win, They got good bowling and a strong middle order.

Their problem is that their carrying 3 dead weights. Kohli who is now a tuk tuk batter and if kohli stays till the end he's a thorn, Rohit is a walking wicket and jadeja is useless down the order.

Dube is also ordinary. But India can pull a 2022 Pakistan and have bowling he the sole reason why they make it to finals.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli is playing ground shots today . Interesting. May be changedh is role? or is it too early
