India [230/4] beat South Africa [227/9] by 6 wickets in the 8th match of the 2019 World Cup

[ARK Rafay]

I think Morris now takes a little bit of time to get going. I may be wrong but SA could try playing him at 6 or 7. Depending on situation

 

[AdamM97]

Chahal finishes off with 4 wickets!

 

[PakLFC]

RSA have made a pig's ear of their innings as always. They were my favourites for the tournament already on their way out after the lose this one.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Annoying runs for India these

 

[Hasan123]

Bumrah on. Shouldn't look to take any risks off this over.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He is hopelessly out of touch. Don't be fooled by this knock. He plays one good innings occasionally.

Haha why would they be favourites.

 

[Mkumar825]

240 will be compative score here .

 

[AdamM97]

South Africa might get 230 which is decent enough considering their start.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Too loose by India, SAF are bloodlusted and will try to make the extra runs by tailenders count

 

[Hasan123]

After Faf got out I didn't think South Africa would get here lol.

 

[hur rizvi]

Pakistan’s video analyst needs to look at chahal and Kuldeep and sarfraz, hafeez and Malik our best players of spin need to raise their game against them

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

The Saffer tail is still better than ours...i bet for india no's 9,10 and jack cant get 20 between them ...or last out the overs to allow the more recognized batsmen strike out....thats the problem with india-the batsmen dont bowl....the bowlers dont bat....and if its not one department's day...it will be a tough uphill journey

 

[Joseph Gomes]

After Faf got out I didn't think South Africa would get here lol.

India let go, really poor bowling last 5 overs

 

[hur rizvi]

Malik should definitely play against India

 

[Hasan123]

Need to target this over now.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

After Faf got out I didn't think South Africa would get here lol.

Can you imagine if we somehow defend this total? It would be a great lesson that no matter how great the collapse, just bat out the overs as best you can.

 

[Mkumar825]

Bhumrah is pure gold for us.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are seeing off Bumrah.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Great start from India, won there first game...

 

[Hasan123]

India let go, really poor bowling last 5 overs

Still have to give credit to SA for showing some fight.

 

[hur rizvi]

240 will be compative score here .

Don’t think so

 

[Hasan123]

Can you imagine if we somehow defend this total? It would be a great lesson that no matter how great the collapse, just bat out the overs as best you can.

Chasing 230ish wont be easy. This WC has had some surprises already.

 

[jnaveen1980]

You can defend given the fragiliy of India's batting. They are susceptible to collapse. First time in my life i trust our bowling more than batting.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

On this pitch 270 was par. 220 gives SA a small chance

 

[AdamM97]

Chasing 230ish wont be easy. This WC has had some surprises already.

If SA manage to get India’s top three out within the first 10 overs, i believe they’ll win it.

Still think this is an easy chase for India.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This score is right up in Dhoni's alley though lol He will tuk tuk and hit a six in 50th over in case he hangs around. You never know what to expect.

 

[Hasan123]

If South Africa can get to 230 anything is possible. This is a WC, anything can happen under pressure.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Still have to give credit to SA for showing some fight.

Morris is good lower order batsman, best batsman this innings by far.

 

[jnaveen1980]

DHoni orchestrated 3 good chases in Australia under pressure. Bigger grounds. Reasonable total. Hope he steps up today.

 

[Hasan123]

If SA manage to get India’s top three out within the first 10 overs, i believe they’ll win it.

Still think this is an easy chase for India.

Dhwaan and Rohit arent in form. Jahdav is lacking match sharpness. India should win but anything is possible in World Cups.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

South Africa are just clinching this.. Morris is winning it for them! What batting this! Terrific under circumstances.

 

[Mkumar825]

Don’t think so

Take India top 3 under 100 . thereafter south Africa will be favourite but Dhoni is useful for India such type of low scoring chase

 

[Ozymandiasza]

200 Didn't see that coming.

 

[Mkumar825]

After this match every team when playing against India dnt take chance against bhumrah .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bhuvi is a waste of space. Shami would have taken a few wickets by no w. He is just a containing bowler.

 

[jnaveen1980]

DO or DIe match for SA. They will give everything.

 

[Mkumar825]

Wicket coming soon in this over

 

[Joseph Gomes]

SAF has 25% chance to win, good recovery

 

[Hasan123]

Game of a knock from Morris. Needs to bat till the end.

 

[Hasan123]

Every run is vital for SA. India have gotten sloppy here.

 

[Mkumar825]

Bhuvi is a waste of space. Shami would have taken a few wickets by no w. He is just a containing bowler.

I think we play Bhuvi ahead of shami due to his batting bcz out tail is weekest among all teams .but I will definitely play Shani ahead of Bhuvi .

 

[Hasan123]

Rabada has improved his batting in the last year.

 

[Mkumar825]

India always have problem with apposition tailenders .

 

[Hasan123]

Need Morris to face as many balls as possible.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

If SA manage to get India’s top three out within the first 10 overs, i believe they’ll win it.

Still think this is an easy chase for India.

Easy chase this..

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think we play Bhuvi ahead of shami due to his batting bcz out tail is weekest among all teams .but I will definitely play Shani ahead of Bhuvi .

If you restrict them below 200 you won't even need Bhuvi. I was afraid of this dumb move.

 

[Mkumar825]

Still 240 possible

 

[Hasan123]

Morris would have put those 2 balls away.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now score is entering into uncomfortable territory.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Rabada has improved his batting in the last year.

He has a long, bright future ahead. Good head on his shoulders as well. I remember a year or three ago Pollock was talking about having a chat with his dad and him about improving his skills in English county cricket. From what I remember he did just that.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If only Morris had done the same in the last match they probably could have won lol

 

[Hasan123]

Missed opportunities for South Africa in this over.

 

[Mkumar825]

So many run from edge by sf

 

[Hasan123]

He has a long, bright future ahead. Good head on his shoulders as well. I remember a year or three ago Pollock was talking about having a chat with his dad and him about improving his skills in English county cricket. From what I remember he did just that.

Rabada is an elite cricketer. I think he will surpass Steyn and Donald.

 

[Mkumar825]

This stadium look big .2&3 what should India look when we batting

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bhuvi is the weak link for India. Clearly. Shami was in such dream form in Australia and NZ. Just for Bhuvi's batting they ignored him.

 

[Hasan123]

Have to take risks now.

 

[MP2011]

This is poor from us.

 

[MenInG]

India death bowling not able to remove this pair - 60 run pship

 

[MP2011]

BK is such a waste of a slot.

 

[MP2011]

SA still unable to read Bumrah.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Very sensible batting by South Africa. Legendary stuff!

 

[Hasan123]

Decent fightback.

 

[MP2011]

Rabada is an elite cricketer. I think he will surpass Steyn and Donald.

Don't agree, at least Steyn is unsurpassable.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA is winning the world cup !! This partnershpi will enter into history book.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Bumrah tries to be too unpredictable in death and that's his key. He bowls yorkers and hard ball at pace but what differs him from most bowlers in death is he is unpredictable. One thing I've noticed Bumrah bowls quite yorkers and bouncers in death at pace.

 

[Mkumar825]

Good comeback by sf

 

[Ram Shekhar]

There is pretty good bounce in the pitch today. Rabada will be tough to score off. If Morris can hit the hard length, India will find this a very challenging score.

 

[Hasan123]

Need to connect one Morris.

 

[MP2011]

Last over from BK, 20 runs?

 

[Mkumar825]

Don't agree, at least Steyn is unsurpassable.

He will surpass styen if he win South Africa a World Cup .

 

[MP2011]

Finally BK gets 1.

 

[Hasan123]

Don't agree, at least Steyn is unsurpassable.

Disagree. Rabada looks a better LO bowler and in tests he time to surpass him.

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is a miracle Bhuvi takes a wicket.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Poor from Morris

 

[jnaveen1980]

He will surpass styen if he win South Africa a World Cup .

But even if he does well others have to step up.

 

[Mkumar825]

Not impressive death bowling from India

 

[MP2011]

He will surpass styen if he win South Africa a World Cup .

Can't tell future but don't think he has it in him.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Rabada is an elite cricketer. I think he will surpass Steyn and Donald.

Please. Just don't go by the hype and few performances. Dale Steyn challenges the best of best for a place in all time XI. Steyn is up there with with Waqar and Marshall. Do you really think he can surpass these 3? I give it 5% chance.
