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

[sweep_shot]

India - 42/1 (5 overs).

Commentators are saying pitch is excellent for batting. Seems like it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

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.

Zampa is the biggest threat for India. Others they will play easily.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

India - 42/1 (5 overs).

Commentator is saying this is the best batting pitch in this tournament.

Given our batting form below par score most likely be enough for India

 

[sweep_shot]

Fizz is in the attack.

 

[Human786]

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

Sunny did pitch report - said terrific surface , if IND get 2 bat 1st , should be good opportunity for batters 2 get a hit . Bho asks win toss & bat , SMG says no , new pitch , better to know the target

 

[sweep_shot]

Given our batting form below par score most likely be enough for India

BD need to restrict India to 150-160 (if possible).

 

[mominsaigol]

Zampa is the biggest threat for India. Others they will play easily.

Naw, they won't, Aussies bowlers bowl according to field setting, their pacers had india's no in the final.

Australia is the only team where you can't use the word easily on, Even a burnt out stark doesn't get that word

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Yeaaaa.....wotta shot from VK off musty fizzer.... awesome

Ya brillint points made by you once again great post india can replicate pak 2022 and reach final then its anybody game.

Australia and India have seen each other a lot. India still has 3-2 record against Australia in world T20. If you look at the first round match Austrlia was rolled over for 195.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Kohli.

Kohli has had a quiet tournament. Will he find form today?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Kohli coming into form just before the big Knock Out matches

 

[FearlessRoar]

 

[Dhakar Pola]

BD need to restrict India to 150-160 (if possible).

Will be very tough. I don't see India scoring less than 180

 

[sweep_shot]

I am waiting to see Rishad vs Indian batters.

Rishad has been the best bowler for BD in this tournament.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think they will let SKY take over after 10 overs.

 

[sweep_shot]

Powerplay is done.

India - 53/1 (6 overs).

 

[mominsaigol]

Australia and India have seen each other a lot. India still has 3-2 record against Australia in world T20. If you look at the first round match Austrlia was rolled over for 195.

Doesn't really apply to 2022 onwards where Australia have Been bullying India in finals of icc events 24/7. And just have their no, Especially Cummings and Travis.

 

[mominsaigol]

Kohli's mindset is always " I will hit a 6 and then play a few dot balls and then make 1 run making my 6 pointless"

 

[Dhakar Pola]

I can't believe they are not being able to hit mahadi.

 

[sweep_shot]

Mahedi against Australia: 4-0-22-0.
Mahedi against India: 3-0-14-0.

No wicket but economical.

Australia are not superior by miles. But they have a mental toughness to come up at the right moments. India lacks that

 

[Devadwal]

Pathetic batting by pant

 

[jnaveen1980]

Doesn't really apply to 2022 onwards where Australia have Been bullying India in finals of icc events 24/7. And just have their no, Especially Cummings and Travis.

Test ignore. But if India buried themselves by giving a crappy pitch hoping Australiw would bat first. OON a flat wicket I still back India to beat Australia in ODI.

 

[sweep_shot]

Rishad is in the attack.

 

[Devadwal]

3rd maximum for king Kohli

 

[mominsaigol]

Kohli coming into form just before the big Knock Out matches

Naw bowling is trash, and India hasn't faced a single strong side this tournament. They've faced Pakistan, Ireland, Canada, USA, Afghanistan and Now Bangladesh.

Real test will be India and then one of England and SA in semi's.

Kohli is performing now cause he's finally gotten a road pitch and a crap bowling unit to bully since Afghanistan was much harder then this.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Mahedi against Australia: 4-0-22-0.
Mahedi against India: 3-0-14-0.

No wicket but economical.

Makes you wonder if we could have won Vs SA if he was bowling instead of shakib

 

[sweep_shot]

Rishad is in the attack.

Kohli greets Rishad with a six. LOL.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Inida's weakness is left arm spin. left arm seam.

 

[sweep_shot]

Makes you wonder if we could have won Vs SA if he was bowling instead of shakib

I believe Shakib shouldn't have been selected for this tournament. He is an old man now.

Mahedi could've been better. I agree.

 

[globetrotter]

Oh boy… Virat Kohli is back… good sign for India as hez picking at right time

 

[mominsaigol]

Australia are not superior by miles. But they have a mental toughness to come up at the right moments. India lacks that

In t20 they are. Their > India in all departments excluding Bumrah. Axar and Kuldeep are not better them zampa on current form atm.

Well India will have a match against Australia to check where they stand before the semis

 

[jnaveen1980]

I don't think this Rishad is putting enough revs like Zampa.

 

[mominsaigol]

Test ignore. But if India buried themselves by giving a crappy pitch hoping Australiw would bat first. OON a flat wicket I still back India to beat Australia in ODI.

Well if they have to curate pitches to win, then that's not a sign of confidence. Also 2023 Australia was weak. 2025 will be a different ball game.

 

[Human786]

71/1 in 8

 

[sweep_shot]

15 off the over. Big over.

India - 71/1 (8 overs).

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Why is Pant no scoring?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Well if they have to curate pitches to win, then that's not a sign of confidence. Also 2023 Australia was weak. 2025 will be a different ball game.

I expect new guys will give them a run for money. India with Pant is a different beast against Aussies. That is how they slayed them down in Australia.

 

[Devadwal]

In t20 they are. Their > India in all departments excluding Bumrah. Axar and Kuldeep are not better them zampa on current form atm.

Oh bhai yes they have won recent world cup but Stop hyping them too much .

India have better record against them in T20 world including knockout.

 

[Human786]

71/2

 

[mominsaigol]

Well India will have a match against Australia to check where they stand before the semis

It'll be India's bowling vs Australia's batting. That's what'll determine the game.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Gave up on Hindi channels when I heard bombastic NS siddhu was commenting in this WC.
When he starts downloading from his gob - he makes tooth extractions, math exams , waiting in govt office lines more bearable....

 

[jnaveen1980]

71 in 8 overs is not good. They have to step on the gas.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Gone!!
Kohli

 

[Devadwal]

Kohli gone

 

[jnaveen1980]

Another failure for kohli

 

[Dhakar Pola]

I don't think this Rishad is putting enough revs like Zampa.

He is not as good as Rashid or zampa. What did you expect. Before this world cup we did not even rate him as a good leg spinner. He was in the team just because he is a leg spinner and he can hit the ball while batting.

He surprised everyone in this world cup so far

 

[mominsaigol]

Oh bhai yes they have won recent world cup but Stop hyping them too much .

India have better record against them in T20 world including knockout.

When was the last time they played t20 in a World Cup?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why do these guys block players like Jaiswal.

 

[sweep_shot]

Tanzim bowls Kohli.

71/2.

 

[cricketmania22]

What was that Kohli? That was a very ugly looking shot.

 

[followed]

Tanzim guy is impressive. He has got decent pace and can seam the ball.
Nice prospect

Yea.. He looks more like a part time leg spinner. M ay be surfaces make him look better than he is.

You are not alone. I also mute when atahar comes in commentary

 

[Human786]

Sky 6 1st ball

 

[mominsaigol]

I expect new guys will give them a run for money. India with Pant is a different beast against Aussies. That is how they slayed them down in Australia.

As long as rohit, Kohli, dube and jadeja play, India better hope pandya, Sky and Pant solo carry their batting

 

[sweep_shot]

Tanzim guy is impressive. He has got decent pace and can seam the ball.
Nice prospect

Tanzim is from the U19 batch that won the U19 World Cup.

Tanzim, Shoriful, Towhid - these 3 are from the same batch.

 

[Statpadder Inc]

When was the last time they played t20 in a World Cup?

2016 in Mohali

 

[Human786]

77/3

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

out

 

[jnaveen1980]

SKY is out. What a pathetic collapse.

 

[Champ_Pal]

All those sixes from Kohli and the S/R is still 130. He should be not be playing in the Power play.

 

[sweep_shot]

Out.

BD need to keep on getting wickets.

77/3.

He looks very good.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is why this all out aggressive approach will backfire

 

[Devadwal]

When was the last time they played t20 in a World Cup?

India knock them out in 2007 semi and 2016 virtual knockout game.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Match will be interesting now,

 

[cricketcricket79]

Dale Steyn wannabe having a good day.

 

[Devadwal]

Surya gone too .

 

[sweep_shot]

SKY is out. Big wicket.

Tanzim gets 2 wickets in 3 balls.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Why do these guys block players like Jaiswal.

India is losing plot not playing jaiswal. How can you bench a guy like that. He is the future

 

[jnaveen1980]

Walking wicket has come in now.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

SKY just doesn't convince me

 

[mominsaigol]

India knock them out in 2007 semi and 2016 virtual knockout game.

Right so 17 years ago and 8 years ago respectively. Is hat relevant now?

 

[followed]

He is getting good bounce on this pitch. Impressive stuff.

 

[Champ_Pal]

71 in 8 overs is not good. They have to step on the gas.

When Rohit and Kohli are your openers, anything over 7 RR is a gift.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Lets if Dube is worth his position
