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

This has to be the worst batting line up for India in last 2 decades- 3 batsmen folowed 4 bits n piece players, then 4 bowlers.
 
These pitches are perfect for Dhoni. He can't accelerate like he once he could but he still knows how to chase lower targets.
 
Seems a slow and sluggish pitch. I think 250 would be good enough .Kulcha would be deadly and Shami can get some reverse
 
Once upon a time 2007...Bangladesh shocked india by chasing in World Cup..

Can Afg produce a shocker today?
 
India and Afghanistan playing - no need to mention Pakistan here
 
This commentary is a joke .

Finally looks like India have woken up . Anything under 280 would be embarrassing
 
Pitch isn’t as bad as people thinking. It’s not a complete slow rank turner. Looks to me a 260-270 wicket.
 
Indian batting minus Kohli-Rohit is so garbage. Indian management is even worse they have probably calculated 240 as good score on this pitch considering Afghanistan as opposition.

Such low totals any team can chase going berserk in today's time. Will be embarrassing loss today for us
 
Dhoni being clever here. Playing out afg main two bowlers and then will cash in last 3/4 overs against the mediocre pacers
 
I think India will win because their bowling is on a different level.

If Afghan spinners are bowling well, Indian spinners will also have a good day.

You will not lose because your bowling is good enough.

Agreed. Afghanistan failed to chase 180 odd against Sri Lanka. Should be an easy task for India.

Everyone knows Indian batting depends on Top 3. KL is unreliable, Shankar is new and will take time to settle in. Dhoni plays according to situation but fans want him to bat like the Dhoni of 2006. :inti

I don't rate Rahul now. He's good for IPL that's about it. So it's Kohli+Rohit.

On flat batting shootouts we will be massively exposed by better teams.
 
It's wrong. The likes of Rashid/Nabi are world class spinners.

That's what I said too.

Rashid, Nabi, Mujeeb are excellent spinners.

But so are Kuldeep, Chahal and Jadhav especially on a pitch that is assisting some spin.

Anyhow we will have to wait and see.
 
These medium pacers need to mix their pace up. Bowling bouncers or too full won't work.

So many similarities between Babar and KL Rahul. Both are top batsmen in T20 but average when it comes to ODI.
 
Afghanistan wouldn't have crossed 120 if Jadeja was playing alongside Chahal and Kuldeep.

I would say flat bat shootouts we are fine, both or atleast 1 of the kohli or rohit will fire and pandya, jaduav even rahul will be fine on those pitches. It's the 275-300 pitch where the problem will be. Rahul goes too slow to make up for it one those pitches

Babar is good atleast he makes 60 odd runs every match. Rahul is no where near Babar. He's two levels below Babar at the moment
 
One would’ve thought Afghanistan will have produced more fast bowlers after Hamid Hassan and Shapoor Zadran. But they haven’t, their pace bowling is really weak now even worse than Zimbabwe.
 
Even Afghanistan don't want to take these two Wickets.

They know if these two play it's good for Afghanistan lol
