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

[mominsaigol]

Only one decent commentator in India is denesh karthik. I liked analysis of Gautam Gambhir as well. He has good sharp mind.

Worst is Sachin easily

I am not sure if Mayanti is present in this World T20. She was present in 2023 WC.

She wasn't before but now she is in carribbean. She wasn't present in USA though.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Lol

Here are some facts about India:

- Has over 1-billion people with a reasonably large landmass.
- Regularly gets pampered by ICC same way Vince McMahon used to pamper Triple H. India is the Triple H of world cricket.
- No trophy since 2013 despite all the advantages.

Lol - @ 'facts'...dude it's more your opinion & frustration ....
If we were 'regularly pampered' why are we playing our 4 th match in 9 odd days in 4 different countries? We haven't won anything since 2013, if we were 'pampered' would 'nt we be acing every ICC tourney out there
Lastly I have no idea of which side U support....but betcha If I know - will face palm U with some 'facts' pepper up ya nose ....peace bro...- let's discuss cricketing skills - cheers

Lol that guy is narcissist.

 

[AAli98]

Failed cricket nation vs greatest cricketing nation ever (along with windies)..

 

[mominsaigol]

Lol that guy is narcissist.

He's not a narcissist in commentary. He just talks on and on and on about past world cups rather then focusing on the match.

And ontop of that he talks with zero energy in his voice. It feels as if he's sleepy and hence makes the viewers watching fall asleep in the process.

 

[Croma]

Today is going to be fun. Australia will come out all guns blazing.

Will Indian bowlers shiver seeing Head or will they take him out early...

Fun day ahead! Hope no rain

A pity the 'all time best /phaast/legends' r cooling their heels .....somewhere ....

 

[sweep_shot]

She wasn't before but now she is in carribbean. She wasn't present in USA though.

I honestly do not know why females with no cricket backgrounds are added for commentary/host in men's cricket.

I can understand if someone like Isa Guha participates because she is an ex-player. She knows cricket.

What does Tanvi Shah or Mayanti know about men's cricket? They should work for Victoria's Secret or something.

Toss Time!

AUstralia will bowl first

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Toss Update:

Australia won and opt to bowl first

 

[Croma]

Ground is empty.

Why do they hold World CUps in WI?

 

[AMSS]

AUS getting buried. Last match they get to play in this edition of WT20.

 

[Markhor]

Read that it's very windy in St Lucia apparently. No rain thank god.

 

[Devadwal]

Australia won the toss and will bowl first

 

[Croma]

How many runs can Rohit score against Starc before getting out?

 

[Advaith]

Good toss to loose I guess ..

 

[Markhor]

Ground is empty.

Why do they hold World CUps in WI?

Filling grounds for neutral games is a problem all over the world. Only place where you might get decent crowds is England due to very diverse population.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Gee whiz....batting first - aus brings in starc.... potentially this dude is a game breaker ...hope hitman VK & co boss the pp...

 

[AMSS]

How many runs can Rohit score against Starc before getting out?

What is it with pakistani fans so hyped about Starc? Rohit has scored 100s for fun against him but Starc also has had success on occasion.

Jake mcgurk should have been in the squad. He is too talented to miss out.

Time to get into Semi's

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dube will be a waste of space for sure. Should have been Jaiswal or Sanju

 

[Croma]

Dube will be a waste of space for sure. Should have been Jaiswal or Sanju

Jaiswal will be very rusty, he hasnt played a game all tour. I dont think management will take any risk

True. But DUbe can play dot balls increase pressure and impac tothers as well

That is also true.

 

[pillionrider]

To win this WC, Aus has to be beaten. You don't beat them today, you're probably not going to be able to do it later when you're under more pressure.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bowling Australia > India
Batting Australia > India
Fielding Australia >> INdia

Bilateral games are irrelevant.

World Cups matter. Knockouts matter even more.

 

[jnaveen1980]

We are not beating anyway. Australia fielding has to suck just like it did against Afhganistan

Bro no, India has the better bowling. That's why I'm scared lol. If it wasn't for bowling I wouldn't be worried.

 

[Red-Indian]

Bowling goes to India easily.

Yes our best quick is better than theirs (at least in a T20 context and I'd argue in all contexts)
Our best spinner is better than theirs
The rest is much of a muchness though Starc gives them 3 out of the top 5 bowlers in the game.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bowling goes to India easily.

Zampa somewhat pushes towards them. Arshdeep/Jadeja not much of use. Even papu does well only on turning tracks

Ab Shh!!!!
207/3 India and Australia all out at 147 in 17 overs

Unlikely.

207/3 with rohit and Kohli opening? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yep. Especially for a day game. Even in cricket crazy India , neutral games at the major venues only got spectators for the 2nd innings in the World Cup last year.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Unlikely.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Time for Rohit to hit the ball to the moon?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Missed a crappy full toss lol What sort of a shot that is

 

[jnaveen1980]

Two terrible deliveries. Rohit went to town with Starc in the world cup final.

 

[Kaptan]

Rohit should seriously consider retiring.

 

[Human786]

AUS win loading ...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Two boundary balls. Atleast a wide ball. How poor his relfex has become.

 

[mominsaigol]

Stark bowling so rubbish

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

*** umpire review.. either bowling side asks for it or batting side
This is unnecessary advantage to Aussie

Didn't see that match. But this review was total conspiracy class.

 

[Croma]

Watchful first over by the Indians 5-0

 

[Devadwal]

Wasted over by Rohit and Virat . should have scored three boundary

 

[jnaveen1980]

Poor start by India. That over deserved atleast 10 runs

 

[mominsaigol]

I wish 2015 stark was here

 

[pillionrider]

We are not beating anyway. Australia fielding has to suck just like it did against Afhganistan

lol opening over we look wary. Imagine if this were the final hahaha

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Calm down lol, enjoy the game.

 

[pillionrider]

Need Pant's fearlessness.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Need Pant's fearlessness.

Australia's record against India is poor whenever Pandya plays.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Playing for lunch i suppose

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Kohli taking time ... imagine cartoon tom and jerry charging before going full speed in a race

 

[Croma]

KOhli 0(4)*, getting nervous?

 

[Human786]

OUTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[mominsaigol]

This pitch looks like a road though.

Rohit and kohli have missed atleast 3 more boundaries

Lol 5 balls duck for Virat.
India seems so scared. Hahah

Bye bye Kohli.. Piled up 700 runs just to see series of single digits in the world cup.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Good catch byTD

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Bhai shut down this opener Kohli experiment

 

[Croma]

Kohli;s disaster tournament continues.

But will be be dropped? NO

 

[KingKhanWC]

Virats last innings ever in t20 I

Big win here for aus & imo Afghanistan will demolish Bangladesh to go through
