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

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Pant seems injured

 

[Nikhil_cric]

OZ have to go for it. They have to attack. Can't rely on BD beating Afganistan.

 

[oatmeal]

As per Cricinfo, Aussies would be out if they lose by at least 31 runs and Afghans win (even by 1 run).

For BD to leapfrog both Afghanistan and Australia, Aussies have to lose by 31 runs and Afghans have to lose by 31 runs.

Australia has to lose by 55 runs . but I get it now. BD doesnt have to overcome a deficit of 2.5. They have to overcome a deficit of 1.5 because Australia would already be -1

 

[rhony]

Pant got an earful and rightly so

 

[Devadwal]

I think pant was a bit lazy otherwise it was catch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is the problem with Bumrah He always creates chances. Somebody drops or misses

 

[Red-Indian]

Bumrah's just so so good. It's like having 1.5 bowlers.

 

[big_gamer007]

Warner was timid

When ball is swinging like that even the best batsman in best if forms can get out.

Nothing about being timid. That’s how cricket is

 

[Human786]

ab Head aur Bison ke havale match saathiyon with Mr B coming 2 bowl the 2nd

8/1 in 2

 

[JaDed]

This is the problem with Bumrah He always creates chances. Somebody drops or misses

Second time Pant though, Kohli missed a dolly too can’t recall the bowler

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Just showed merv Hughes ....am sure was down a few cold ones ...mean while good pressure by jazz boom...

 

[Devadwal]

8-1 after 2 over .

They have lots of batting depths so need to take Wickets

 

[big_gamer007]

Bumrah and Hazlewood are so good with their line and length.
RCB should sign them both and drop Kohli next season if they want to win IPL

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Tremendous over

 

[AMSS]

Everyone expected Bumrah but as I said, Arshdeep to get the troll wickets.

Kuldeep will be the game maker or breaker though.

 

[JattMaula]

Pant bit absent minded. Should have fielded the ball and run out Marsh after he couldn't reach it to complete the catch.

 

[big_gamer007]

Arshdeep trying for an in swinging Yorker at 132kph. Wasimesque

 

[Devadwal]

Bumrah and Hazlewood are so good with their line and length.
RCB should sign them both and drop Kohli next season if they want to win IPL

Hazelwood got phainty against Afghanistan

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Good by arsh...c'mon build up the dots ....

 

[JaDed]

Everyone tunes in to watch Bumrah nowadays lol and a four Arshh

 

[globetrotter]

I think I'm turning off the TV, Congratulations to my Indian brothers for making it to Semi's. Hope you win now that I am out

Pls don’t break tv in dreams after Indian win

 

[big_gamer007]

Hazelwood got phainty against Afghanistan

I didn’t watch that match, but today he was spot on. Perfect line and length and little bit nip off the seam

 

[jnaveen1980]

Another drop

 

[Devadwal]

Sardar ji is Speed se bouncer pe boundary hi padegi .

Bowl to your strength when bowl is Swinging.

He dropped a catch now

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Indians trying to help Australia with dropped catches

 

[rhony]

2 chances to Marsh. Wasn't even that fast.

 

[big_gamer007]

come on man, how can you drop that

 

[JaDed]

Wth man and a boundary now, Marsh’s day?

 

[oatmeal]

That was catchable

 

[Devadwal]

Yaar what is this crap fielding.

 

[sweep_shot]

Aussies are 99% likely to lose this one. RRR is already over 11.

 

[Human786]

22/1 in 3 deepshit

 

[jnaveen1980]

Don't drop catches FCS

 

[GLORY OF '92]

You can't drop him twice too much power

 

[JaDed]

Arsh out of sorts now, dayum that drop will be costly

 

[emranabbas]

ball lost, need kohli here to find it

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Dropped catches are costly .. super costly

 

[big_gamer007]

Aur kar bhai catch drop

 

[Devadwal]

Arshdeep you idiot's .

Bowling lolipop bouncer

 

[jnaveen1980]

You don't pitch half way down to tasmanian

 

[JaDed]

all Pressure released

 

[rhony]

Roaring over from Aussies. Don't think he needs to bowl slow balls just yet. Ball is still swinging

 

[ahmed16]

You completely missed my post, your reply doesn’t make any sense to what I posted.

Read the entire conversation and then try again, not sure what to make of your post.

Nope I understood your point: India got to a final of a world cup they should have won, they didn't and Indian fans are still up in arms about it (as well they should be), Indian fans feel they hold their team to higher standards, which I agree with considering that the Indian team should have won that World cup, all the odds where in their favour and to lose (and in the fashion that India did) would be quite embarrassing.

You made a point about Pakistani fans not holding their team to the same standard, which is also fair and made an example of Pak fans/pundits feeling that the achieving the 2022 final was enough as a justification for this statement. My response was that the reason Pakistani fans didn't hold their team to the same standard is because a) getting to the final of the 2022 was Pakistan punching above their weight and b) the manner in which Pakistan got to the final was purely luck based, Pakistan didn't deserve to be in that final, they got schooled by Zimbabwe in the same tourney, even in this tourney...Pak got schooled by USA.

Indian fans have every right to hold their team to higher standards, India has been in more positions where they should have won and didn't (2023 final, 2019 semis).....but the attitude and weak mindedness remains the same regardless of where you go with fans in the subcontinent.

 

[shortbread]

The Aussie batting machine warms up!

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Arsh out of sorts now, dayum that drop will be costly

Now Arshdeep will leak some 45 runs today

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

When there is minimal swing on offer & if conditions don't offer seam or bounce - guys like arsh are pop guns canon fodder ..

 

[Mamoon]

Whining is part of desi culture, especially in cricket which we get emotional about.

However, Indian fans want their team to be dominant like Aussies or Windies team of past, that’s the standard we want our cricket to be at with all the resources invested.

Fans will continue to criticise sub par players like Jadhavs, Dube’s, Binnys etc and criticise washed out oldies who hold the team back like Yuvi, Dhoni, Jadeja etc even though some of these players won India world cups and were most successful players in Indian history.

That is Indian fan's problem then. India haven't got what it takes to dominate the way Australia and West Indies did. Money and resources don't guarantee success.

You are being unfair to BCCI and Indian players if you are holding them to such standards.

 

[Croma]

Marsh himself dropped one. India returned the favor by dropping him twice

 

[JaDed]

Now Arshdeep will leak some 45 runs today

Yup seems like it

 

[jnaveen1980]

Roaring over from Aussies. Don't think he needs to bowl slow balls just yet. Ball is still swinging

When you bowl slow ball you don't bowl half way down.

 

[Devadwal]

We have Pandya who will Bowl 50% delivery shorts .

Not a good time ahead

 

[Civil]

Man the build of these Aussies. Looking at the replay of that six by Marsh, these guys could be stars in 3 or 4 sports probably but choose to be the bane of desi's existence in our favourite sport. not fair!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why is there no P OInt for Head? WHat a stupid field set

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

chances given .. now Aussies will make us suffer

 

[Devadwal]

Head is started the innings with a four

 

[JaDed]

Ok now they are taking us on, dayum that second catch

 

[jnaveen1980]

Back of length not working

 

[Cover Drive Six]

What is the semifinal equation for the other teams if Australia loses this match?

 

[JaDed]

Need rain for distraction

 

[rhony]

There's the Head we know!! On the middle stump line at length coming into his body. That's the line

 

[Devadwal]

Head is our real headache

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Lol at people writing off Aus

 

[Devadwal]

Jassi please Bowl a pacy Yorker.

 

[emranabbas]

bumrah thinks he's bowling in new york

 

[JaDed]

Lol at people writing off Aus

Indian fans never write em off

 

[jnaveen1980]

Protect the point idiots.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bumrah is being taken to cleaners by Head.

 

[Devadwal]

Yar why rohit not set a cover fielder .
Hasn't learnt a lesson

 

[AAli98]

Head is our real headache

Head has taken 2 icc titles away from you on his own.in the last 12 months . may well be a 3rd on Saturday

 

[JattMaula]

Head take down Bumrah!

 

[jnaveen1980]

They needed 2 fours to understand this? I called this even before the match.

 

[JaDed]

Man we started so well. Bring in the ethnic gujjus

 

[Human786]

hairy 36/1 in 4

 

[rhony]

That's the line to Head. Into his body on a good length. No room on the off side

 

[emranabbas]

need bit more effort from bumrah this isnt india vs afghanistan friendly match

 

[Devadwal]

Head has taken 2 icc titles away from you on his own.in the last 12 months . may well be a 3rd on Saturday

He was so lucky .most luckiest man

 

[jnaveen1980]

India 60 in 6 overs. Hope INdia restricts them below that.

 

[Croma]

Head and Marsh have tasted blood

 

[Devadwal]

India 60 in 6 overs. Hope INdia restricts them below that.

No chance pandya will give atleast 15-16 runs .

 

[emranabbas]
