India [224/8] defeat Afghanistan [213] by 11 runs in the 28th match of World Cup 2019

[Hasan2K8]

Afghanistan will need a solid start with the bat not losing anything first ten

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

cmon indiaa......knock em over...

 

[Dingolfy]

Yes we were terrible but with Dhawan as opener and Rahul in the middle order this is the best Indian ODI team I’ve seen. Even better than 2011. I don’t think losing today will change that (even though they won’t lose. Hopefully they do though.)

No way better than 2011. That middle order with a Peak Yuvi, Raina and Dhoni were a beast and could chase anything.

 

[Smbhayi]

Even Dhoni smoked them for fun. Infact Dhoni didn't even face their spinners which Pandya did. Fact is Pandya played that inning when team was in good position. Had we sent Pandya today above Dhoni he would have gifted his wicket away while playing a slog.

Dhoni actually struggles against spinners a lot these days, especially against leggies..

 

[Mlsrock]

Worst ever batting by Rohit, Dhoni, Rahul, Hardik hope they will defend the Total

 

[MenInG]

Afg will get to 180 max.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

cmon shami, jazz boom...

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Shami and whahab....both have one thing in common ...hair today......

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Opener Zazai is a key wicket, plays at a very good SR in T20's

 

[K4Kohli]

Not at the moment. His backup options are not upto his level.

This is what Pakistan management says about Mailk and Hafeex. Unless you give roper chances to youngsters how would they become better

 

[JibranAnsari]

very nice seam presentation.

 

[RamLakhan]

He isn't quick enough to open with rohit and rohit>>>>>>>>rahul so can't replace him.

Yes I agree that! Rohit is too good/bigger player than Rahul at the moment and even Dhawan is so good in his own way. Rohit had his issues in the past, but it is all sorted out now and what's present is important! And also Rohit & Dhawan complement and make such good pair! It is not just Rahul's inconsistency/shortcomings, it is also about how it disturbs the pairing! So Rahul can never replace Rohit/Dhawan as long as they keep performing! He only has chance in Test Matches as neither of them are a competition to him there! (But new competitors are coming there too!)

However if there was no Rohit/Dhawan in Indian team, he would have slowly crawled his way gaining confidence! At the moment his confidence is going nowhere because he is shuffled in the batting order and also under sword for losing his place in the side! It is not anyone's fault that Rohit/Dhawan are so good (one of the best openers ever in ODI cricket!) Rahul has to live with that!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Gulbadin is opening, I guess he is the Neil Johnson of Afghanistan

 

[Smbhayi]

Good thing you aren't a selector then. Because you wouldn't have been good at it, you seem like one of those who would pick afridi ahead of misbah.

actually most of them pick Afridi over Misbah tbh...

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Every runs feels like gold here

 

[jagatk]

More brilliance from grandpa.

 

[Abdulm123]

four!????

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Just brings his bat down in time

 

[Last Monetarist]

India will walk this. Afghanistan will struggle to even reach 180.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Afghanistan looks determined, their approach is different this time

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Just brings his bat down in time

almost had his number.....go jazz-boom!

 

[Smbhayi]

This is what Pakistan management says about Mailk and Hafeex. Unless you give roper chances to youngsters how would they become better

youngsters need to earn those...

 

[Sunzi]

Shami looks very lively regardless of the batsman.

 

[Sunzi]

That looked pretty adjacent TBF.

 

[jagatk]

Stupid review

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What a brilliant decision from Dar. Looked plumb to me but just outside leg

 

[JibranAnsari]

pinpoint accuracy. aleem dar.

 

[Sunzi]

Great call by :Aleem

Looked plum for all intents and purposes.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Stupid review

It was a good review. Just didn't go your way.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Kohli really looked fired up to win

 

[Ronaldo7]

Kohli is embarrassing himself.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

That looked very out in real time. Very marginal. Eotherway amazing decision by Aleem Dar

 

[Kaptan]

Dar. Pakistan ka badla le rha hai.
That was plumb.

 

[Abdulm123]

Stupid review

lol mad

 

[Hasan2K8]

Zazai survies. But has to strike it he cant defend the hack

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Looked out to me before I saw the replay

 

[Sunzi]

Bowlers look far too quick for the AFG batting.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Kohli should get banned

 

[Gullycricket]

This is the real face of Kohli

 

[Abdulm123]

Dar. Pakistan ka badla le rha hai.
That was plumb.

It pitched outside, just accept the fact that something went against you for once

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

All this India Afghani bhai bhai drama will end once Afghan beat us in one match.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

I was thinking to myself what was Aleem smoking for not giving that out

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Afg doing good so far 6/0 in 3 overs ... wickets are key

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Why is kohli arguing with umpires

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

This is the real face of Kohli

get a hike dude....even though i dont agree with his behaviour....go easy on the real face hoopla

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Why is kohli arguing with umpires

He thought it should’ve been umpires call so they could retain the review

 

[topspin]

Kohli has every right to feel aggrieved about losing a review for that. It was fractionally pitching outside leg stump.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

All this India Afghani bhai bhai drama will end once Afghan beat us in one match.

the sooner the better...i mean - end of the drama....

 

[Sunzi]

Bowlers look far too quick for the AFG batting.

Correction. For Zazai.

 

[Ronaldo7]

This zazai is such a hack.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

 

[Ronaldo7]

He thought it should’ve been umpires call so they could retain the review

Is there such a thing for where it pitches?
I swear it's only for the impact not where it pitches.

 

[Hitman]

Kohli should get banned

) What?

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Edged and 11/0

 

[Abdulm123]

Why is kohli arguing with umpires

what else do you expect from a narcissist like him. Tries to act all nice and cute on camera.

 

[Mamoon]

Review should be retained in these circumstances. Kohli is right to be livid. Everything seems to be going against India today.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Is there such a thing for where it pitches?
I swear it's only for the impact not where it pitches.

It is for the pitch as well. If half of it pitches in line

 

[Mamoon]

Fluke batting by Afghanistan so far. Surviving due to pure luck.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Review should be retained in these circumstances. Kohli is right to be livid. Everything seems to be going against India today.

Let’s see if this bait works

 

[jagatk]

It was a good review. Just didn't go your way.

First 5 overs, it didn't swing so where it pitched was clearly the question. You shouldn't review in in first 10 overs unless its plumb and this wasn't.

 

[Gullycricket]

Kohli thinks he is above the game.Some people were doing Bhangra as he walked against Pakistan.That match he knew was won.I would like to see that sportsmanship today when he is under the pump

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Review should be retained in these circumstances. Kohli is right to be livid. Everything seems to be going against India today.

We weren't unlucky we were just poor.

 

[Abdulm123]

What do you except from a narcissist like him.

 

[Ronaldo7]

First 5 overs, it didn't swing so where it pitched was clearly the question. You shouldn't review in in first 10 overs unless its plumb and this wasn't.

It looked pretty plumb tbh

 

[Mamoon]

Let’s see if this bait works

No bait. I always argued for retaining review when it’s an umpire’s call, and I think it should be extended to 50-50 scenarios as well.

You shouldn’t be penalized for pitching 50% of the ball outside the line of the leg stump. There is no justice in this world.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

With the way they’re batting I’m surprised a wicket hasn’t fallen yet

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I smell a wicket anytime soon

 

[jagatk]

It looked pretty plumb tbh

I am talking about where it pitched , you would have to be very hopeful and optimistic to think it clearly pitched in line.

 

[Ronaldo7]

It was very marginal

That would result in too many reviews being retained and therefore taken. It needs to be a tactical decision. I’m fine with the current review system

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Kohli thinks he is above the game.Some people were doing Bhangra as he walked against Pakistan.That match he knew was won.I would like to see that sportsmanship today when he is under the pump

Total ****....no one did the bhangra when he walked....i am not a supporter of his on field behaviour...its against typical indian dignity in losses and restraint in victory as displayed by a long line of those who donned the blue cap....but hey....he gets a lot more flak than he he bargains for...the camera is always on him everytime he is onnt he field....a lot of the public's perception is formed becaue of this and falsely so...

 

[Mamoon]

We weren't unlucky we were just poor.

The last two days have been weird. I hope normal business resumes soon.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Shankar will take a 5fer today.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

The last two days have been weird. I hope normal business resumes soon.

Even West Indies can win today.

 

[Mamoon]

In that case, teams should have two reviews. One is too less when it 50% luck.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Kohli thinks he is above the game.Some people were doing Bhangra as he walked against Pakistan.That match he knew was won.I would like to see that sportsmanship today when he is under the pump

and precisely how would he have known for the match as won.....the other side (pak) was yet to bat....geez....even his own side's 50 ov were not up...quit the blanket exagerration and pigeon holing....

 

[jagatk]

It was very marginal

Nope, it clearly didn't swing so it could never have definitely pitched in line. So it clearly wasn't plumb, which is why they should never have reviewed.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

16/0 in 5 overs ... job half done for openers

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

India really missing Ashish Nehra today.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

The last two days have been weird. I hope normal business resumes soon.

Its loony season...maybe the full moon is out and the crazies are having a field day or so....but hey...full entertainment....
