India (223/2) defeat England (188/8) to win 5th T20I by 36 runs; Win series 3-2

[MP2011]

Another 6 from Rohit.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Ho ho.. Shot..

 

[King_Kohli]

India well set for a score above 200 here.

We need 200+ today.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Slower ball and swatted into stands for 6.

 

[RamLakhan]

I think KL Rahul shines only in a team full of dummies and he is the sultan of them (KXI Punjab type)

 

[ex-q-zit]

There was a thread counting Rohit's 6s as he was chasing down Shahid Afridi for most ineternational 6s. How close is Rohit now to that record?

 

[King_Kohli]

I think KL Rahul shines only in a team full of dummies and he is the sultan of them (KXI Punjab type)

We need him in ODIs

 

[MP2011]

We were anyway playing 6 batsman plus KL who hardly scored. Hardik at 7 was being wasted. Its makes absolute sense to play 6 bowlers as it can be compensated by the additional bowler.

Now that we have got a great start, 6th bowler looks good otherwise we'd have paid dearly.

 

[PakPremi]

India playing really well and set for score in excess of 200. Poor planning by England they should have drafted in Moin for Curran or even Malan who has been poor this series. Moin would have been useful with his slow bowling.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Dropped, tough chance for wood.

 

[MP2011]

Another 6 from Rohit, 50 for him.

 

[Amjid Javed]

6 and 50 for rohit off just 30 balls.

 

[MP2011]

Another 6 from Rohit.

 

[Energy]

Rohit aka Sharjeel is murdering England.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Well Hitman is in mood. 5 sixes till now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Six more what a shot by rohit.

 

[MP2011]

1 bounce 4 from Rohit.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Now that we have got a great start, 6th bowler looks good otherwise we'd have paid dearly.

As I said earlier KL was woefully out of form and sundar last match went for over 50. So irrespective of this start it makes aboslute sense to play an extra bowler.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Short ball and pivot slapped for 4 more.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Belly Power. I can understand now why Pakistani fans want Sharjeel. They want him to bat like Rohit.

 

[Devadwal]

Wth virat doing . just run Himself out

 

[Markhor]

Sharma is putting on a clinic. Another clean hit down the ground.

England struggling to contain or take wickets.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Rohit is the most talented batsmen after Sachin in my opinion. Has everything. Sad his Test Career never took off.

 

[MP2011]

Rohit plays on.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Jinxed.

 

[Devadwal]

Out

 

[shaz619]

Sharma is putting on a clinic. Another clean hit down the ground.

England struggling to contain or take wickets.

They should give Moeen an over perhaps

 

[Amjid Javed]

Rohit gone drags one on. Ugly slog shot.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Suryakumar in now.

 

[Markhor]

ENG badly needed that opening.

 

[Mesozoic]

Brilliant Knock from Rohit.

 

[MP2011]

Kohli looks so ungainly against leg spinners.

 

[MP2011]

SKY hits 6.

 

[Devadwal]

My god what a shot

 

[Amjid Javed]

Shot for 6 off rashid straight down ground.

 

[MP2011]

Back to back 6s from SKY.

 

[Amjid Javed]

6 more for SKY inside out over extra cover

 

[RamLakhan]

Indian team have got the flair of Mumbai Indians in them this series (Hopefully Bumrah, Kishan also joins! And Pandya gets to his best form!)

 

[Markhor]

Yadav looks an exciting prospect. Very clean striker of the ball.

 

[Devadwal]

Mumbai Indians show today . first Rohit now Sky

 

[Deewana Mastana]

If India don't score 230 today then not sure when they will

 

[Mesozoic]

This must be so so embarrassing for Kohli.

 

[Amjid Javed]

India 110/1 after 10.

220 or 230 here maybe?

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Indian team with all the talent at its disposal is like Hanumaan. Needs to be reminded of its amazing superpowers. I really hope Kohli and Shastri don't mess up selections in this T20 WC.

 

[Ab Fan]

SKY bats like....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

As I've said before the depth these two teams posses is amazing

 

[Devadwal]

India 110/1 after 10.

220 or 230 here maybe?

210 max

 

[Devadwal]

If India don't score 230 today then not sure when they will

Virat in Test mode right bow

 

[MP2011]

Poor batting from Kohli so far.

 

[Mesozoic]

If India don't score 230 today then not sure when they will

Not easy to maintain the tempo against a non-minnow team...

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Can SKY be the badmash player we need ?

 

[MP2011]

210 max

I'll be really happy if we can score that many.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Not easy to maintain the tempo against a non-minnow team...

With 9 wickets in hand and 9 overs to go out of which Archer has 2 and Rashid one who were the danger men everyone was saying being taken apart.

Wood 28 off 2 overs already won't be confident either.

India has all the cards in their pockets.

 

[Oxfordchamp]

200 should be enough

 

[Babbar]

SKY looks like a pirate. Shows no mercy. Hope he stays in form till the end of WC.

 

[pillionrider]

This must be so so embarrassing for Kohli.

That's not how he thinks. He seems to genuinely enjoy even a newbie smashing a bowler he's been struggling to.

 

[PakPremi]

Chanting in the background still Rohit Rohit when he is not even batting.

 

[Ab Fan]

Wood proved today that he is sasta version of Shoaib Akhtar.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Swept for 4 by SKY.

 

[Mesozoic]

And we were playing Dhawan, Samson and Pandey ahead of this guy...

 

[Ahmed216]

Trash bowling

 

[Ahmed216]

What a shot !! Take a bow SKY

 

[MP2011]

Great batting from SKY.

 

[PakPremi]

As I've said before the depth these two teams posses is amazing

England bowling is not so special.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England bowling taken apart

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Man this guy is awesome. Just that teams will plan for him. But, well, he has been playing like this in IPL for 9 years now.
Can't believe Jadhav was picked ahead of him in the WC 2019.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Wowsers...

 

[Amjid Javed]

3rd 4 in a row for SKY

133/1 after 12 overs.

 

[Markhor]

Yadav is already 30 ? He'd have been playing for years for any other country.

Insane batting depth.

 

[MP2011]

And we were playing Dhawan, Samson and Pandey ahead of this guy...

This. Don't forget the likes Rayudu, Karthik etc.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England bowling is not so special.

Better than a few teams right now at least

 

[Mesozoic]

Absolute carnage...

 

[MP2011]

2nd 6 from Kohli.

 

[PakPremi]

This is Zimbabwe level bowling so many hit me bowls.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kohli hammers a 6 now.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Ooooh... Sexy shot from Virat.

 

[Amjid Javed]

250 or 260 could be got here.

 

[King_Kohli]

Effort less cricket from Sky man.
Acrobatics.

 

[PakPremi]

Better than a few teams right now at least

Yes but for a team supposedly with so many options they really only rely on Archer and occasional show from Rashid.

 

[Oxfordchamp]

Another IPL product for India..he has been playing all these bowlers and honed his skills in IPL.
