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

[ARK Rafay]

So good to have someone like Dhoni in your team.

 

[Mkumar825]

This was plumb

Umpires call was plumb???

 

[castortroy]

This world Cup was Pakistan best chance of ever beating India. Middle order looks thin

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Man same pitch what will Afghans do to us

 

[Mkumar825]

India losing mean out of semifinals race

 

[Hasan123]

Afghanistan have competed well. Test for Indian middle order.

 

[adil79]

Afghanistan doing what our 5 and 8 lacs per month A-rated unfit players couldn't do against India. Badalata ha rang Aasman kesay kesay

 

[Mkumar825]

Shankar can't even handle Rehmat Warne shah

 

[Mkumar825]

Pathetic middle order

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Afghanistan doing what our 5 and 8 lacs per month A-rated unfit players couldn't do against India. Badalata ha rang Aasman kesay kesay

8 lacs per month for Shoaib Malik probably spends 1 lac in shisha every month

 

[Mkumar825]

Dhoni 20(48) inning coming soon

 

[Sarwar89]

Thee problem here is that Afghanistan will struggle to chase down even 250-260, even if they manage to contain india under 275.

Their highest total in this world cup so far is only 247. And on this wicket they will not score 247 against indian spinners.

 

[castortroy]

Think pak have one of the worst spin options in the tournament

 

[RamLakhan]

This world Cup was Pakistan best chance of ever beating India. Middle order looks thin

They had to cross the top order first! Not easy that! Afghan's bowling attack is way superior compared to Pakistan especially on slow/turning pitches!

 

[Hasan123]

On these pitches Afghanistan can compete . But on other pitches they struggle due to lack of variety in their pitches .

 

[Mkumar825]

Lol Dhoni

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Why are India not playing Pant. Might cost them in the finals.

 

[hur rizvi]

MS dhoni, shankar and rahul can be detrimental to indian wc campaign

 

[Hasan123]

Kohli is playing a excellent knock. He is batting on a different pitch to others. The myth that Kohli can't play in ICC tournaments is a big myth.

 

[ind_win]

Dhoni is just a high profile tail-ender. Gets no where. He is in for the one stumping which if comes justifies his position. Jadhav, was okayish in few games earlier. Do not know how he will perform. What should have been a 300-310 will be 265-270 because of these guys. No choice. Kohli's pets.

It seems like he can only dominate mediocre bowling these days

There goes kohli. Credit to dhoni

 

[MRSN]

Think pak have one of the worst spin options in the tournament

Without any doubt. Shadab is a club level bowler at best.

 

[hur rizvi]

Dhoni strikes for Afghanistan

 

[Hasan123]

Kohli gone.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Come on

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Hardik is the only one who can save us now.

 

[watchman99]

Lol... upset possible?

 

[Hasan123]

I think 250 plus maybe enough on this pitch. But we were told that all pitches would be flat.

 

[hur rizvi]

Without any doubt. Shadab is a club level bowler at best.

He isn’t that bad tbh. He is no Rashid khan or chahal but definitely not a club level bowler

 

[Hasan2K8]

Come on Afghanistan!!!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

This is the first time I am watching Jadhav bat

 

[big_gamer007]

The previous ball Kohli faced he hit is crisp but only got 1. He was cursing himself throughout running as shown in TV visuals and practising hitting square cut.. Bowler balled same ball again perfect for square cut but Kohli tried to hit it too hard and Mis timed it. His frustration of not getting 4 off the previous ball got him out.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Dhoni strikes for Afghanistan

He is the worst batsman in this lineup, but his fans will never accept that, according to them dhoni is playing sensibly.

 

[ind_win]

Afterthought, after kohli's shot and dismissal, it does look 250-260 pitch. Aiming for 300 will make Ind get 220-230. It will be a good thing if Ind do get to 250. Jadhav and Dhoni exposed to score is the good thing now.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Get Dhoni out. Restrict them under 230. Game on!

 

[Hasan123]

These 2 need to set a platform for Pandya .

 

[Mp812]

Dhoni 20(48) inning coming soon

Well seems good innimgs on a tricky track. Those type of innings are useful on such tracks

 

[MIB]

Afghanistan bowling superbly

 

[Ronaldo7]

Still no hundred for kohli in this wc

 

[KingKhanWC]

The same bowling attack England scored 397 against.

Afgans can roll the rest of these overrated players if they use their brains

 

[Sarwar89]

Kohli is playing a excellent knock. He is batting on a different pitch to others. The myth that Kohli can't play in ICC tournaments is a big myth.

oh yes he is a big big icc tournament player. 0 centuries so far in this world cup in 5 attempts.

 

[BDfanforever]

This is the first time I am watching Jadhav bat

He is a good batsman man.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Rahmat Shah is bowling better than Rashid today

Afterthought, after kohli's shot and dismissal, it does look 250-260 pitch. Aiming for 300 will make Ind get 220-230. It will be a food thing if Ind do get to 250. Jadhav and Dhoni exposed to score is the good thing now.

pandya to score 100

 

[Ronaldo7]

The same bowling attack England scored 397 against.

Afgans can roll the rest of these overrated players if they use their brains

That was a flat pitch this isn't as flat
I'll be surprised if Afghanistan score more than 150 tbh

 

[Hasan2K8]

Dhoni might play the slowest 70-85 to guide India to a good total

 

[ind_win]

It is spinning. Kuldeep and chahal will be interested. 240 is enough here. Versus Afg at least.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

He is a good batsman man.

Bro I am scared now Look at them turn

 

[MRSN]

He isn’t that bad tbh. He is no Rashid khan or chahal but definitely not a club level bowler

He is simply a darter who bowls full tosses when he attempts to bowl good leg spinners. Rarely seen him bowl good length or flight. Rubbish spinner in my opinion who is surviving because of his spell against India in CT. He couldn't turn the bowl even on UAE turning tracks. There is a reason why he is a white ball specialist.

 

[Sunzi]

Wow.

I LOL'd this match off early. While I still expect an Indian win.. this has just become a little interesting.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Isn't it better for PAK if India win?

It doesn't matter. We only need them to win against England.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Afg should bring Rashid in against the new batsman

 

[KingKhanWC]

That was a flat pitch this isn't as flat
I'll be surprised if Afghanistan score more than 150 tbh

It’s a 300 par score here

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

rashid khan looking totally out of rhythm.
or else india wouldve been allout in no time

 

[BDfanforever]

Bro I am scared now Look at them turn

Glad they decided to turn up against Ind. Hopefully, we wont be one of their victim.

 

[Ronaldo7]

It’s a 300 par score here

It's a spinning track right now. It's not playing as well as before. 270 should be a good score.

 

[ind_win]

pandya to score 100

I am not as hopeful as you are. I will be happy if pandya scores 30-40.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Weather will be very good coming weeks. Pitches will get drier. More Subcontinent suited!

 

[Hasan123]

Indian tail is extremely long so keeping wickets in hands is no use.

 

[castortroy]

How have Afghanistan got better spinners than us

 

[Hasan2K8]

Afg have one massive issue they go on about bowling one dimensional way. They Don’t understand when the time is right to go for the kill. Why not bring your main weapon Rashid against Yadav early on might not read him hence a chance to get another

 

[ind_win]

It seems like he can only dominate mediocre bowling these days

There goes kohli. Credit to dhoni

Really. I would not be alone when I say dhoni, jadhav have to make way right away after this world cup. Dhoni from playing like Russell of WI has come to Ranatunga in retirement days. What a fall. And he was the same guy who said seniors need to retire. But he shamelessly plays on. Money.....money...

 

[KingKhanWC]

It's a spinning track right now. It's not playing as well as before. 270 should be a good score.

Ignore the commies, they are making excuses for India . A bit of turn but still a great batting surface . England who are not the best against spin would score 300 on here & most teams too .

 

[Ronaldo7]

People here are acting like India are 40/4.
Anything over 250 for AFG is difficult even on a dead pitch.

 

[Green Patriot]

That Afghan chief probably thinking right now:
Pakistan kya chez hai ham to India say bhi behtar hai

 

[Hasan2K8]

Dhoni is the key wicket for Afghanistan, here.

Btw where are Ind fans gone?

 

[aman keeper]

Indian tail is extremely long so keeping wickets in hands is no use.

Exactly why keeping wickets is crucial. India can't afford another wicket before 40 overs.

 

[BDfanforever]

Indian fans are quite.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Rose Bowl - is a beautiful ground, biggest outfield in England. Only if they can get the capacity up to about 35k would make it even better

 

[Hasan123]

oh yes he is a big big icc tournament player. 0 centuries so far in this world cup in 5 attempts.

Only failed against South Africa. He has been close to centuries against Australia and Pakistan but tried to accelerate and got out.

Scoring over 50s and India winning is hardly choking.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Indian bowling is too good but shows other sides the weakness after the top order

 

[MMHS]

Indian fans are quite.

India has posted winning runs already - wait for AFGs bating against Indian wicket taking 40 overs here.

 

[Hasan123]

Exactly why keeping wickets is crucial. India can't afford another wicket before 40 overs.

If they lose wickets in the last 10 overs, they won't be able to accelerate. Maybe facing the face 50 overs is a good tactic here.

 

[Hasan123]

India has posted winning runs already - wait for AFGs bating against Indian wicket taking 40 overs here.

Still need over 200.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Indian fans are quite.

How typical.

I remember watching Asia cup on a stream most there are indians they were no where to been seen first innings as soon as they won hundreds came out out to post hahaha and muhaha

 

[Hasan2K8]

Worlds 3rd best bowler Rashid Khan on. Come on get few here..

 

[Hasan123]

A quick 30/40 from Hardik will take the game away from Afghanistan. They need wickets.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Indian fans are quite.

even 175 is enough .
we are just promoting afghans bros

 

[hurricanes]

This is Afghanistan match.You expect Indians to be here in droves?It is just going through motions

 

[BDfanforever]

Release shot from Jadhav.
