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-BD is not a cricket rivalry. Rivalry is only valid if both nations are at the same level.

India is among top 3.

BD is #8.

Whatever spice there is is due to politics.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Do India know of this rivalry? They seem to be treating the bowling with polite irrelevance.

There is no rivalry. I said if we were a good team as we are always on fire(in the head) against India it would have been a good rivalry. I think you miss understood me.

 

[Human786]

target 197 - game over

 

[sweep_shot]

India finish at 196/5 after 20 overs.

BD need 197 to win. Innings break.

 

[Croma]

Great slicing shot by Pandya and he gets to 50... India finishes at 196-5

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Not by Bangladeshi fan's but Bangladeshi newspaper

That was a satire newspaper. Still they should not have done that. Give respect earn respect

 

[jnaveen1980]

wow a 50 lol I didn't think it was possible today

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Hate the man, but respect for player Pandya!!

 

[oatmeal]

Pandya rehabbing his image after his IPL failure.

 

[Devadwal]

Good finished by Hardik.

Bangladesh needs 196 runs to win the match

 

[Croma]

This is the highest score on this ground

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Not Good enuff, you are typing not speaking!
Dobaara mat karna

Bro we say kholi(reason I have already said), so when we are typing it comes out. It's not that I am disrespecting Kohli.

 

[rhony]

Bad decision by BD to chase on this paradise

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Terrific innings from Hardik
From gotri road, Vadodara city about 6 km from my home....
Not that I have any contribution to his success ..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Given the personal life controversy , IPL controversy i think Pandya has done good job.

 

[Devadwal]

The haters of Hardik Pandya have now become admirers. That's what an international tournament does to you. Such a World Cup he’s having.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

political? Bangladesh should thank India about taking the refugees. and illegal immigration from bangladesh which never stopped. Order your house first.

In politics there are no winners and every side will have his own reason. It doesn't mean the reason will always be right or wrong. Anyway let's forget politics and watch the game. Can we see a liton special like last world cup. With the form he is in it will be tough

 

[Croma]

BUmrah and Kuldeep. I dont see Bangladesh chasing this.

But lets hope they make a fight of this.

There were lot of smoke like Pandya would deliberately play badly under Rohit. So all put to rest.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

iF BANGLADESH SCORES 150 THAT WILL COUNT AS GOOD.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Is the pitch dead or is it that Bangladesh are woeful.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

I kinda hate Tanzim Hasan. Nothing bowler who has the attitude of a Shoaib Akhtar

 

[shortbread]

Bangladesh need to find a young aggressive captain and replace the legacy superstars, Shakib, Fizz etc.... if the batting is sorted, that's a world beating side.

 

[sweep_shot]

Both BD and Afghanistan may go home today.

If Aussies beat AFG and India beat BD, both are out.

 

[JaDed]

Looks like BD is not even trying to bowl hopefully they can bat without the script and KO India @followed

india made 50 runs too much

 

[jnaveen1980]

35 dot balls & 13 sixes. 35 is not terrible. 30 would be ideal.

 

[Croma]

Just looked at the scorecard. Rohit gave India a bullet start. Kohli hit 3 sixes... WOah!

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

In hindsight...I feel BD stuffed this up....
They just could not believe India was struggling...
They could have bowled more disciplined...which could have put the thunder flash under us...

But I still feel wkt is flat ...
Other than jazz boom our pace attack is halwa - especially Arshdeep who is supremely overrated &: would not make the Zim XI even ..but is in our team as somehow we have a fetish for 120 kmph popgun pipsqueak medium slow halwa bowling ..

 

[shortbread]

Tanzim is brilliant, he's an aggressive fast bowler. 2 wickets in that over brought the team back.

 

[Devadwal]

This is just Bangladeshi attitude not about single player. Remember Ruble Hussain attitude??

I do not think they used the wicket effectively. There was an option of driving the ball into the wicket with reduced pace. Fiz had an ideal pitch to bowl at. But he was all over the shop.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Need Bangladesh to win and Pandya to get a fifer…

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is just Bangladeshi attitude not about single player. Remember Ruble Hussain attitude??

Fiz is a good guy though. Taskin is alright i think.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

iF BANGLADESH SCORES 150 THAT WILL COUNT AS GOOD.

You are being too nice to our batting form in this cup

 

[Croma]

This is just Bangladeshi attitude not about single player. Remember Ruble Hussain attitude??

He was pelted severely in many later games by India. I think.. DInesh Karthik smashed him in that sensational chase....

 

[FearlessRoar]

Kuldeep's overs are going to be crucial.

 

[rhony]

BD competes very well against India in world cups. They lost a couple of very close games in the past too. If they batted first and posted around 170/180, it would have been game on. I think this is atleast 20 runs beyond BD now

 

[Devadwal]

Fiz is a good guy though. Taskin is alright i think.

Yes Fizz is good guy but Not Taskin.

 

[cricketmania22]

Bangladesh often plays their worst cricket against Indians.

 

[Croma]

My fav Bangladeshi bowler after the Fizz was Taskin... He was good.. DOnt know what happened to him.

For an Indian, you are pretty ungrateful. Arshdeep is already the Top 5 pace bowlers to have ever played for India in all formats.

I say 40 runs too much (due to Bumrah factor).

Anyway, let's see what happens.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

My fav Bangladeshi bowler after the Fizz was Taskin... He was good.. DOnt know what happened to him.

He was dropped for today's game to accomodate the extra batter

 

[Dhakar Pola]

I think we have a moral victory of not letting India score 200. That's the only victory we'll have in this match

 

[jnaveen1980]

My fav Bangladeshi bowler after the Fizz was Taskin... He was good.. DOnt know what happened to him.

Yea. Taskin is a pretty sharp bowler.

 

[rhony]

6 overs of Rishad and Shakib went for 80. They were smoked

 

[Croma]

Bangladesh need to score atleast 60 in the first 6 somehow.

 

[Croma]

Bangla MUST take on Arshdeep first over. SMash him for 20 runs.

 

[FearlessRoar]

[jnaveen1980]

Litton Das is going to wake up today given that he is against India. He scored a brilliant 121 against us. Last world cup he almost won the match before getting run out.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

For an Indian, you are pretty ungrateful. Arshdeep is already the Top 5 pace bowlers to have ever played for India in all formats.

Arshdeep is a Top 5 pacer for us in the same universe where Haris Rauf is Pakistan's greatest ever pacer

 

[Devadwal]

Yea. Taskin is a pretty sharp bowler.

Wasn't he once banned by ICC due to illigal action.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

It ain't gonna be easy...BD have some quality batsmen....Litton das played a sublime 100 in 2018 Asia cup against us....dunno why he didn't go on to greater things, mahmoodullah is a dangerous guy, so is their opener & that hridoy guy ..
Our guys need to be switched on from ball 1

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Bangladesh needed my man Shoriful Islam. Bit of left handed variety. And by far the best young Bangladeshi player.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wasn't he once banned by ICC due to illigal action.

Not sure about that.

 

[sweep_shot]

Wasn't he once banned by ICC due to illigal action.

Yes. But, he returned and became a better bowler.

 

[Croma]

single off first ball.

 

[Mas-LFC]

BD is a pathetic t20 side. Ultra poor bowling. Shakib a sunday league bowler nowadays. Fizz is of no use if the wicket isnt gripping or slow.

Watch how they get all out under 120 runs.

 

[mominsaigol]

The haters of Hardik Pandya have now become admirers. That's what an international tournament does to you. Such a World Cup he’s having.

He's always good in tournaments though. Has been for a while now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bangladesh needed my man Shoriful Islam. Bit of left handed variety. And by far the best young Bangladeshi player.

Any reason why he is not playing? IN Tests he looked better than Shaheen.

 

[Devadwal]

It’s okay to be unique. Only man to score a 50 for his side.

 

[sweep_shot]

Shakib should be dropped permanently.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Have not watched a single ball today but going by the scorecard it must have been a good track to bat (still dube seems to have struggled?)

Now wanting our bowlers to step up and make that semi's spot sealed.

 

[Croma]

Ok, first impression. Both openers not looking confident

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

For an Indian, you are pretty ungrateful. Arshdeep is already the Top 5 pace bowlers to have ever played for India in all formats.

All formats???? I doubt if he's been anywhere near a test squad....& If he's selected in tests....it's happy hour on loop for the opposition....just hope he gets some wickets here....increases his pace by 15kmph...bounce by 1 metre...else he retires....Becoz other than his LH factor - he is 0

 

[cricketcricket79]

I kinda hate Tanzim Hasan. Nothing bowler who has the attitude of a Shoaib Akhtar

Exactly my thoughts. International cricket will put him in his place soon enough.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD batters need to start hitting. RRR is 10.

 

[Croma]

first boundary... 5-0 : 0.5

 

[Human786]

5 IN 1

 

[jnaveen1980]

Athar ali khan said this 1000 times today "PItch is so good"

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This is just Bangladeshi attitude not about single player. Remember Ruble Hussain attitude??

Hard to forget. Probably one of the worst fast bowlers to play international cricket for a major side. I remember him having a Bradmanesque bowling average lol

 

[Croma]

Good keeping by Pant 5-0:1

DO they plan to take on Bumrah?

 

[cricketmania22]

Why Bhumra doesn’t bowl the first over? He’s the spearhead!

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 5/0 (1 over).

 

[mominsaigol]

Bangladesh often plays their worst cricket against Indians.

They don't, they have a habit of pulling an upset here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why Bhumra doesn’t bowl the first over? He’s the spearhead!

I think it is something to do with end

 

[Croma]

I reckon the lefty will attack Bumrah
