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

[RedwoodOriginal]

Stoinis has beaten like a government mule ever since he gave that cringeworthy send-off to Gurbaz

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli can be used as a finisher lol

 

[Human786]

194/5

 

[Red-Indian]

The Indian team has played this beautifully. Yes they've struggled to make their shots at times but the intent's been constant and the right bowlers have been targetted. It's an excellent total...well above par. If we lose from here, you just have to tip your hat to the Ozzies.

 

[JattMaula]

I guess I will take you as Kaptaan after all Hardik .

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Good catch by warner

 

[t_kaay]

Harshe Bogle is such an annoying commentator. Gaslights and goes over the top. I'd rather listen to Ramiz, thats how bad it is!!!

 

[oatmeal]

they should have dropped Dube's catch

 

[sweep_shot]

Disappointed with Australia. They seem mentally turned off after the loss against AFG.

 

[big_gamer007]

Thank god. Now drop this rubbish good for nothing player for ever

 

[jnaveen1980]

It's okay. Let Axar patel do the damage. We have 2 more btasmen to come. 8 balls.

 

[Croma]

WHat a nothing shot by DUbe

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

This is peak performance by Dube, he cant deliver higher than this in international cricket.

 

[Devadwal]

Dube u are losser.
Just get out of this team .

A match losing innings

 

[shortbread]

Just like Bangladesh last time, taking Dubes wicket will not help Australia's cause.

 

[rhony]

Stoinis bhai taken to cleaners but can have the last laugh

There is no.last laugh. 200 means India is safe for SF

 

[RidiculousMan]

I find the bowling changes by Marsh questionable. Cummins still is a better captaincy option for Australia

 

[big_gamer007]

Why would anyone choose Dube over Rinku Singh is beyond me.
It’s like Indian management purposefully wants to lose the World Cup.

 

[Ahmed216]

It's okay. Let Axar patel do the damage. We have 2 more btasmen to come. 8 balls.

Axar is far better than Dube. Don't know what this guy is doing in the side.

 

[rhony]

Why Jadeja? Should have sent Axar

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

WTH ,... why do they send jAdeja ahead of Axar?

 

[oatmeal]

Jadeja is India's Ifti Chacha in T20s . Total passenger who doesnt deserve to be in the XI

 

[Human786]

195/5 - 6 deliveries left - kaun jeetega boyz ?

 

[Devadwal]

Man this Jadeja is another fake allrounder we have

 

[big_gamer007]

Stoinis bhai taken to cleaners but can have the last laugh

Getting Dube’s wicket is actually a win for India

 

[JaDed]

Our second worst batter after Kohli on crease. I would take Dube over Jaddu

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

-10 runs.. now

 

[jnaveen1980]

WHy is Jaddu ahead of AAxar> are they out of their mind?

 

[Croma]

Jaddu keeps strike with a classy single

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

I feel we are at least 20 short....what do the gr8 minds think ?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Dube with a mighty SR of 127

 

[Mamoon]

One thing we have learned in this thread is that the Indian fans have far less bottle than the Indian players.

 

[sweep_shot]

Can Hardik take India to 210?

 

[JaDed]

Jaddu keeps strike with a classy single

Insane how this guy is playing

 

[RidiculousMan]

I feel we are at least 20 short....what do the gr8 minds think ?

India were definitely on track for 220. I don't think they should've slowed down. India had enough wickets in hands.

 

[Ahmed216]

Why would anyone choose Dube over Rinku Singh is beyond me.
It’s like Indian management purposefully wants to lose the World Cup.

Mind boggling really. IPL selection I think

 

[big_gamer007]

Pandya bhai please don’t take single now. Just okay 5 balls even if you play 5 dots we take it

 

[JattMaula]

One thing we have learned in this thread is that the Indian fans have far less bottle than the Indian players.

That's debatable. Both have shown chocking tendancies.

 

[mominsaigol]

Australia have dome well to restrict them tbf, but rohit won the match. Aussie boys ain't playing Bumrah

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

One thing we have learned in this thread is that the Indian fans have far less bottle than the Indian players.

Agreed PC...when it comes to -veity & downing ur own team ..we r top of the pops

 

[JaDed]

Mind boggling really. IPL selection I think

@jnaveen1980 said their process could be due to spinners

 

[Devadwal]

 

[Mamoon]

If Pakistan can pick Azam Khan, India can also pick Dube.

Dube is a GOAT compared to Azam Khan.

 

[JattMaula]

India were definitely on track for 220. I don't think they should've slowed down. India had enough wickets in hands.

I don't think slowdown was voluntary.

 

[big_gamer007]

Mind boggling really. IPL selection I think

India and Pakistan is same. Dosti culture, city lobbies ruin merit

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This score is giving me PTSD. Australia chased down 191 against us on this very ground in the semi-final in 2010. Hopefully India can make it 2/2 for Asian teams against Australia and send them packing

 

[shortbread]

Australia right back in this!

 

[JaDed]

Wow Jadeja hit a six doob mar Cummins

 

[Croma]

WOw! Jadeja smacks Cummins for 6

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This score is giving me PTSD. Australia chased down 191 against us on this very ground in the semi-final in 2010. Hopefully India can make it 2/2 for Asian teams against Australia and send them packing

Nevermind its 200+ now. Mental barrier breached.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Jadeja should've never batted below Axar

 

[shortbread]

What does Dube's father do, politician?

 

[Mamoon]

This is a 170-180 pitch, Rohit's brilliance made it look like a 220-240 pitch.

Australia need Head or Warner to play an identical knock and it is not happening vs Indian bowling.

 

[Red-Indian]

Dube u are losser.
Just get out of this team .

A match losing innings

Dube's done his job okay but on balance he was probably an incorrect selection. We needed a spin hitter though on the West Indian pitches and it was worth a gamble after that IPL.

Despite Rinku's poor IPL, we still should've kept faith.

 

[Human786]

Target 206

 

[jnaveen1980]

India made 241 in the final. They are arelady 204 in this match. How pathetic batting it was.

 

[NeVerMind]

Jadeja is India's Ifti Chacha in T20s . Total passenger who doesnt deserve to be in the XI

And with that six, Jadeja has already surpassed all of Chacha's lifetime achievements

 

[big_gamer007]

One thing we have learned in this thread is that the Indian fans have far less bottle than the Indian players.

Indians have high standards for their team. We criticise everything unless it’s perfect since we expect our team to be the best for various reasons.

Pakistani fans won’t understand that since they have to settle with mediocrity.

 

[JaDed]

If Pakistan can pick Azam Khan, India can also pick Dube.

Dube is a GOAT compared to Azam Khan.

Pak is out of the WC in first stage.. India can pick Dube and be out in super8?

 

[Croma]

206 to win

 

[JaDed]

Bhai sahab 210 bhi nahi hua lmao

 

[Devadwal]

Atleast 20 runs shorts

 

[AMSS]

Dube is soft.

Please get Rinku in at his rightful place as a finisher.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Score Update

Australia 205/5 after 20 overs

 

[mominsaigol]

If Pakistan can pick Azam Khan, India can also pick Dube.

Dube is a GOAT compared to Azam Khan.

I don't get why theirs hate for dube. He's been great this cup in the MO. Sure he isn't revolutionary but he has performed in every game?

 

[ahmed16]

I'm kind of nonplussed how most Indian fans don't think this is enough considering how most matches have played in this tourney.

Aussies will start strongly, but as ball gets softer they won't be able to keep up.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli 0 runs. India 205.

 

[Devadwal]

Last 5 over we sucked

 

[RahulBose]

Pak is out of the WC in first stage.. India can pick Dube and be out in super8?

We are definitely in semi finals. That is a guarantee given our high nrr

 

[rhony]

Pitch seemed to slow down a bit as thr ball got softer. Winning target from India. India is into the semis in first place. Question is can they dump aussies from the tournament

 

[Croma]

Head has to fire big time like he did in the ODI WC final.

 

[RahulBose]

Atleast 20 runs shorts

Bhai, sach bol. Would you have taken 205 at the start of the innings?

 

[big_gamer007]

30 runs short from the start we got. But before the match started we would have taken this Score.
Upto the bowlers now, hopefully gumrah gets a few early breakthroughs

 

[mominsaigol]

It's over, Bumrah will get rid of these boys

 

[AMSS]

Kohli 0 runs. India 205.

I've been screaming this for last 4 years, in T20s India's chances go up the less number of balls Kohli plays.

 

[rhony]

Hitman and Hazelwood played on a different pitch!!

 

[shortbread]

I don't get why theirs hate for dube. He's been great this cup in the MO. Sure he isn't revolutionary but he has performed in every game?

Azam has Rana
Dube has Mominsaigol

behind every successful pretender is a.....

 

[ahmed16]

Indians have high standards for their team. We criticise everything unless it’s perfect since we expect our team to be the best for various reasons.

Pakistani fans won’t understand that since they have to settle with mediocrity.

So that first line describes Pakistani fans to a T. No difference between Pakistani and Indian fans then

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Pak is out of the WC in first stage.. India can pick Dube and be out in super8?

You're wasting your time trying to bring him back to reality. He's a shill for the Indian team

 

[Red-Indian]

Indian fans are incredibly weak-hearted. It's not just on this forum. On all my WhatsApp groups, I have to keep reassuring friends that the sky is not falling.
