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

[CrIc_Mystique]

I hope that marginal review that we lost does not come to bite us later inthe match....and whilst at it....the review system needs a rethink.....the whole umpire's call bit...if it gonna hit the stumps...i feel it donot matter where it pitches....its out....i'd say this even if we benefitted from this ...

 

[Titan24]

That is where top 5 teams and rest are different, top teams handle the pressure well

 

[Sidilicious]

Pandya the lucky charm did the trick

Not lucky charm. It was a calculated plan to use Pandya to bowl short balls.

 

[JaDed]

No offence to him but like most English cricketers he has absolutely zero charisma

Not only charisma but why would a British guy require money transfer app used majorly by Desis,Africans or mexicans?

 

[Kianig89]

India to practice by defending a low total

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Only Stokes can sell in their team.

... and he's not even a Brit

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

cmon cha-ku....knock them over... knife thru afg amul butter....cheers

 

[Titan24]

I knew Afghanistan batsmen were going to get cocky and lose their composure when Pandya was brought in.

Well predicted.

 

[uberkoen]

That is where top 5 teams and rest are different, top teams handle the pressure well

They get one wicket and apparently they're handling pressure better? How does that work?

 

[Mueez]

Lol ) that Zardari emoji )

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Only Stokes can sell in their team.

Even he doesn’t have charisma tbh

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

I think next up will either be shankar or mix pakoda-jadhav...

 

[Titan24]

Hash and Rahmat can bat.

Both are technically their best players with ability to bat the overs.

 

[JaDed]

Continuing with Pandya lol his purpose is done..

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Well predicted.

well...tbh...he played a halwa shot to a shocker of a balll bowled by kung-fu pandya...

 

[RamLakhan]

Pandya getting a phainty

He is bad (after getting phainty) or good (after taking wicket) So you should have the same opinion when he does good! (Match where even Bumrah is yet to pick a wicket!)

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Even he doesn’t have charisma tbh

kind of best of the worst..

 

[sweep_shot]

Great opportunity for AFG to make history. They can really win this now.

 

[Sidilicious]

Thats nothing to do with the review system. Its a basic LBW rule. The ball cannot pitch outside the leg stump.

The review system is fine. Sometimes there are is a small difference between not out and out.

 

[Titan24]

They get one wicket and apparently they're handling pressure better? How does that work?

Nope, It was more directed towards Afghanistan losing composure than India maintaining theirs. Top 5 teams also struggle under pressure but handle it better more often than not.

 

[Mkumar825]

Done& dusted this match ...india lost prepare for next match

The hell? The rule about ball pitching in line is a key component of the LBW rule and not the decision review system. This is primarily done to ensure bowlers don't ball a negative line

It's harder to hit such balls across the line. As a bowler, I would put all my fielders on the leg side to dry up the runs and wait for a ball to hit the pads. The rule is to discourage negative bowling.

 

[Sidilicious]

Continuing with Pandya lol his purpose is done..

Probably will give him 1 more over. Pitch the ball up for a couple of balls and then try a short ball. That seems to be the plan.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Afghans are giving India a big scare, India PP brothers you have this match in the bag. If India loses I will retire from PP

 

[uberkoen]

...and what if Afghanistan ends up winning this game? Are you going to come back and say India was not able to handle the pressure?

 

[Titan24]

well...tbh...he played a halwa shot to a shocker of a balll bowled by kung-fu pandya...

Yes a pathetic way for a captain to give his wicket away.

 

[Sidilicious]

I love Virtat's passion. Wearing his heart on his sleeve.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

There you go... Afgan needs to play sensibly, unnecessary wicket given away.

They have some good bowlers, but their batting is still very basic. I don't think they'll be able to deliver in a pressure situation.

 

[Markhor]

Just seen the scores. Oh my word.

 

[Mamoon]

Lol exactly, but from my pov im thinking why does rhe Brit who has no family in Asia require this

Newt Scamander needs all the money he can get, he is never going to get an IPL contract.

Hmmm....goood point...i stand corrected...i did;'nt thnk of negative leg side line and fielders on leg side....awesome bro..

You keep retiring and un-retiring.... I see where you get your inspiration from

 

[JaDed]

Pandya Maiden

 

[Hitman]

This K.L. Rahul is the biggest Railu Katta in the team. Losing Dhawan is the worst thing that could have happened to us. Now that no good model/cricketer will be haunting us for the rest of the tournament as an opener.

 

[topspin]

Well predicted.

They were just a little bit too defensive against the Kul-Cha in the previous overs, so when Pandya was brought back, inevitably their eyes lit up.

If you're going to hit him at least pick your deliveries with realistic boundary options, rather than attempting low % shots. That's the difference between minnows and non-minnows. When the former targets a bowler, they can do so more effectively without having the need to play very high risk shots.

[Titan24]

I am not at all saying this cant happen. Being in the top 5 ranking means being more consistent than other sides on most occasions and that includes handling pressure as well. However, this doesnt mean they cant falter under pressure.

 

[Kianig89]

If india loses Pakistan ki khrab performance ko maaf kiya

 

[JaDed]

Cmon kuldeep wth

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

as indian-lets give back positively to our pak hosts...Irrespetive of what happens in this match...i think the last few days-performance of BD , SL and AFG shown the way....pak should take inspiration and hammer SAF, NZ et all....especially SAF is ripe for the picking....and i look fwd to see that new gun -mo hasnain....always xciting to see new quicks...cheers...

 

[Titan24]

Afghans need to play the full overs

 

[JaDed]

Like the way Afghans are playing spin honestly..

 

[ind_win]

Try out jadhavlinga

 

[uberkoen]

RRR inching upwards. It's not going to be a walk in the park for the Afghans but this is their best chance to secure a win this WC

 

[Syed1]

As soon as RRR goes past 6-7 Afg will crumble. They are minnows after all.

 

[Mamoon]

You are judged by the company you keep

A myth. A person who only has likeminded friends is a narrow-minded individual with no self-control or discipline.

 

[jagatk]

Glad you are finally able to make a friend.... maybe he is imaginary.

There's already been a pak fan who has claimed conspiracy by india in this thread.

 

[Mamoon]

Glad you are finally able to make a friend.... maybe he is imaginary.

Clever.

 

[Titan24]

Like the way Afghans are playing spin honestly..

Having Rashid and Mujeeb in nets bowling to them must be helping them.

 

[uberkoen]

A myth. A person who only has likeminded friends is a narrow-minded individual with no self-control or discipline.

Birds of a feather flock together.

 

[Hasan123]

Afghanistan should try to take the game deep as possible.

 

[Mamoon]

Birds of a feather flock together.

Narrow-minded birds.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Afghanistan need to score runs as well. They'll find themselves in trouble if Req. Run rate reached 8 in the last 10 overs.

 

[Deewana]

Afghan losing it now

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

You keep retiring and un-retiring.... I see where you get your inspiration from

I'm not very strong mentally, I'm straight forward

 

[Sunzi]

Beauty that, Rahmat.

 

[Green Patriot]

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Afghan 60 - India 40 at the moment.

 

[Titan24]

One of the best shots I have seen any Afghan batsman play. Kudos to Rehmat Shah

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

good shot by rs

 

[Deewana]

hackmatullah

 

[desi_launda]

pressure back on India

 

[Hasan123]

Need to keep putting the bad balls away.

 

[Green Patriot]

Ohh that is some shot.

 

[uberkoen]

Afghan at 77% on the win predictor

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

cmon kul....get the hacker...

 

[Mamoon]

If India don’t get 5 wickets by 150, they are done.

 

[Mueez]

Kuldeep under pressure...

 

[Hasan123]

Chahal and Kuldeep should bowl in tandem. They usually do well when bowling together.

 

[BDfanforever]

This is still Ind game to lose.

 

[topspin]

Rahmat should have put that away, it was short and pitched leg side.

 

[Hasan123]

Excellent bowling by Chahal.

 

[uberkoen]

This is still Ind game to lose.

Not really but okay

 

[Mamoon]

India missing Ashwin here. He has too many tricks up his sleeve to let Afghanistan run away on this pitch.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

At first I thought the inclusion of these two test batsmen was a joke when I saw them bat against England, I guess it all makes sense now.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Afghan at 77% on the win predictor

It's wrong then. India are in control.

 

[Hasan123]

Jadeja would have been deadly on this pitch.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

India missing Ashwin here. He has too many tricks up his sleeve to let Afghanistan run away on this pitch.

Bro...he's good in tests....in indian conditions....he's useless in odi's....(good in t20's though)....he's useless as a fielder and whlst batting has only one shot...the inside out hike which is a massive tukka shot....
we've been there and amongst other things its cost us the champions tournament 2017..

 

[Hasan123]

Afghan batters patience will be tested today.
