India (205/5) comprehensively defeat Australia (181/7) by 24 runs to book their spot in the Semi-Finals of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024

[Mockingbird]

I'm only who think that Australia will chase down this target .

Let’s see whether they can do it in 15 overs and overtake India’s run rate.

I'm only who think that Australia will chase down this target .

They can will depend how we bowl, they will come for it. Axar and Arsh are good when batsmen attack.

Run Rate below 11

disagree, because then you get players who know their team is rubbish, but they smash a hundred or a fifty for the sake of applaud, knowing that they'll get all the applause even if the team loses.

Not that I'm questioning Rohits determination, quite clearly he came out with the mindset to get as many runs as possible to ensure the best outcome for his team, the right way to go.

But I'll reserve judgement on how good a knock it is when Australia bat (and likely eventually lose).

If Maxwell had failed by a run against Afghanistan in ODI world Cup or even last night in this tournament. Will you say that was for applause or stats??

 

[big_gamer007]

200-220 to have anything safe

Need 250+ to be on safer side, Australia is no pushover

 

[Human786]

OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[JattMaula]

I'm only who think that Australia will chase down this target .

Yes. Have some faith.

 

[Mamoon]

Yeah atm that's what it feels like

Apart from Head and Marsh, I don't think any of Australian player playing today will be playing in the next T20 World Cup.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Unbelievably pathetic ball to get out to That was a free run.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Arrey yaaar... dont throw this now

 

[Devadwal]

Poor shots by sky .
Gone

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Need to target 220 here

 

[JaDed]

Starc getting important wickets

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Surya....what the truk .....what an all time halwa deliver to get out to

 

[mominsaigol]

Sky is gone, but Pandya will come and finish off

 

[rhony]

Thata a good timing for aussies. Yadav was looking very dangerous

 

[Mamoon]

Bunny Chow khaya hai ? 154/3

Please come again?

 

[big_gamer007]

Tail starts now. Tough to make 200+ now

 

[RidiculousMan]

Starc showing why he's Australia's best T20I pacer

 

[BDfanforever]

India vs England will be cracking game. I hope it doesn't rain.

Aus vs RSA would also be good.

 

[Mockingbird]

I think this is the performance that Indian fans were waiting for all tournament. Quite a time to pull it out too.

It’s all about the pitch too- St Lucia is the most batsman friendly ground in the entire lineup here in the WC.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

I'm only who think that Australia will chase down this target .

It will be a one sided chase either way .. no close contest

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pandya has unbelievable record against Australia both in ODI and T20. Hope he repeats that.

 

[globetrotter]

I'm only who think that Australia will chase down this target .

Ya, last election we saw it

 

[JaDed]

RR gone below 11 grrr

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Run Rate below 11

 

[Croma]

I mute tv whenever siddhu is on...dude needs a psychologist

Wasnt he in prison?

 

[Devadwal]

Now we can't cross 200

 

[mominsaigol]

Apart from Head and Marsh, I don't think any of Australian player playing today will be playing in the next T20 World Cup.

Yeah I agree with you

 

[big_gamer007]

Pandya needs to play Zampa’s over. That should give us 20+

 

[jnaveen1980]

See Starc off. He is in the zone now.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Starc's ability to pull wickets out of thin air never ceases to amaze me.

 

[Human786]

162/4 IN 15

 

[Devadwal]

This over change rhe momentum .no boundary

 

[JaDed]

Excellent comeback from Starc

 

[jnaveen1980]

Phew starc done.

 

[JaDed]

This over change rhe momentum .no boundary

first ball

 

[BDfanforever]

Looking back I guess BD strategy against IND wasn't completely bad, Pandaya inning just took the game away.

 

[Mamoon]

This game is beyond Australia's now. They are not chasing this total vs India's bowling.

 

[Croma]

15: 162-4

AUstralia can very well chase this down.

 

[rhony]

Good over from Starc. Shows why he's a champion ATG!

 

[Mockingbird]

Wasnt he in prison?

He served his time, I think. I don’t know why we have convicted criminals now reporting in these matches

 

[JaDed]

This game is beyond Australia's now. They are not chasing this total vs India's bowling.

lol they can and they have before

 

[globetrotter]

India vs England will be cracking game. I hope it doesn't rain.

Aus vs RSA would also be good.

2nd semi will be RSA Vs. AFG

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Wasnt he in prison?

Naah....I think he had a crim case in 1988 or something...
But all is sorted now

 

[big_gamer007]

Hazelwood is so good

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

It’s all about the pitch too- St Lucia is the most batsman friendly ground in the entire lineup here in the WC.

It is but still, India have barely put a foot wrong. Anything above 200 and pressure will be on Australia big time. Under 200, Australia will back themselves to chase it down.

 

[rhony]

This game is beyond Australia's now. They are not chasing this total vs India's bowling.

This just means India will make the SF. Aussies can still win

 

[Devadwal]

No finisher is very big problem for us.

 

[JaDed]

Man Hazlewood has been excellent today

 

[big_gamer007]

Why would you get Ishant Sharma or Mohammad Kaif in commentary? Their voice is so bad for commentary. Painful to ears and kills any fun to watch the match

 

[Mamoon]

lol they can and they have before

I understand the PTSD, but Indian fans have no reason to be worried today. They are not losing this.

 

[Croma]

Naah....I think he had a crim case in 1988 or something...
But all is sorted now

Ah ok,

 

[JaDed]

Even 200 is looking tough now

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Starc had the last laugh after getting hell of a beating

As long as someone stays to give Hardik company, we should get to around 215. That should make India about 60% favourites. With Bumrah and Kuldeep bowling the way they are, Australia will have to get 170 off the remaining 12 overs. Doable but they'll have to take risks.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Naah....I think he had a crim case in 1988 or something...

He had murdered a guy in Roadrage, Judiciary showed leniency

 

[AAli98]

This Indian team has got a CT17 style collapse written all over it.. old man rohit won’t fire in the ko games. Archer & co will have a field day.

Run Rate below 11

If Maxwell had failed by a run against Afghanistan in ODI world Cup or even last night in this tournament. Will you say that was for applause or stats??

Neither but as he couldn't finish it then in my book, thats a pointless knock, neither good nor bad.

Aim to win, all substantial knocks that end up winning a match are good knocks. The rest are pointless, 'it was a good knock despite the circumstances', 'the team lost despite a good knock X', this is all small talk designed to provide padding around ones fragile ego.

The reality is that no one remembers 'the good knocks played in a losing cause', they'll remember the good or even average knocks played in a winning cause.

 

[Croma]

Rohit and Sky made it look like the pitch is easy to bat on.

The other dont

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

This game is beyond Australia's now. They are not chasing this total vs India's bowling.

Bro ...I don't think it's that easy, pitch - flat & conditions are for batting & high scores, ground small ..it won't be easy at all ..

 

[Devadwal]

Our two precious bowling allrounder are useless so this pair need to score whatever they can.

 

[Croma]

Why singles?

DO they think they have enough?

 

[rhony]

Dubey seems to have two weaknesses. Anything bowled on the leg stump line and short ball. Ganguly was the same

 

[Croma]

Great over so far by Haze

 

[rhony]

Why singles?

DO they think they have enough?

Enough to.go to Semi finals

 

[oatmeal]

Dubey seems to have two weaknesses. Anything bowled on the leg stump line and short ball. Ganguly was the same

He has two weaknesses - batting and bowling.

 

[Devadwal]

Even 200 is looking tough now

We don't have any batting depth so this is big problem why we were not won the any ICC trophy

 

[Croma]

16: 166-4

RR falling and falling.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Why singles?

DO they think they have enough?

Its Hazaelwood. He is the only bowler bowling well on this pitch.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

This game is beyond Australia's now. They are not chasing this total vs India's bowling.

It's Australia.

 

[Devadwal]

What the f**k the are doing?? .

 

[jnaveen1980]

We don't have any batting depth so this is big problem why we were not won the any ICC trophy

This is why people were pleading for RInku singh. Finally found a finisher. THey didn't pick him.

 

[rhony]

Smart play by these batsmen. Starc is done with his 4 overs. By playing Hazelwood out without damage in his last over, they are setting up for last 4

 

[JaDed]

We don't have any batting depth so this is big problem why we were not won the any ICC trophy

We don’t develop middle order batsmen, all these Dubes Shankars Jhas can’t replace Dhoni(until 2011), Yuvi or Raina

 

[Croma]

He has two weaknesses - batting and bowling.

He also fields in slow motion

 

[GLORY OF '92]

We don't have any batting depth so this is big problem why we were not won the any ICC trophy

Yes especially Ahmedabad you could see the caution due to the long tail

 

[Mamoon]

Bro ...I don't think it's that easy, pitch - flat & conditions are for batting & high scores, ground small ..it won't be easy at all ..

India have the best bowling attack in the world. Chasing 190+ against them is a nearly impossible task and Australia is not up for it today. The Rohit onslaught vs Starc in PP has taken the wind out of their sails and killed off the game. Only rain can save Australia now.

 

[sweep_shot]

Aussies made it difficult for themselves. All they had to do was defeat Afghanistan. This game would've been a practice game.

 

[Devadwal]

Dropped a sitter

 

[Human786]

boyz is 210 enough ?
