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

[szundercover]

If south africa manages to get 260 some how ,this match will be interesting.

[CrIc_Mystique]

Even if SA lost two games chasing. They should’ve bowled first. Why? Because India has not played for few weeks, under the clouds, overcast conditions they might struggle to find good form. And I reckon that would’ve been the better option for SA.

Valid point....and my guess would be we wold struggle against rabada and co in the same conditions......

 

[Mkumar825]

Smelling a wicket

 

[MP2011]

I pick chahal over kuldeep any day he’s not dependent on a partner he can pick wickets himself what do you think

Then try to see Kuldeep's bowling more. It's no surprise that Kuldeep has already played test cricket for India while Chahal is nowhere near India's test team.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Who will score those runs? Phelukeyo or Miller?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Phehlukwayo is a scrappy character.

 

[szundercover]

Who will score those runs? Phelukeyo or Miller?

most probably miller but I doubt they will bat 50 overs?Chris morris is not even a batsman.

 

[Hasan123]

Miller is the key.

 

[MP2011]

Sorry bro. No idea about that.

No worries, thanks for help.

 

[Hasan123]

Phehlukwayo is a scrappy character.

He is what Pakistan fans thought Faheem was .

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Exemplary batting. Miller is showing great composure! I smell a hundred here.. India better watch out..

 

[MMHS]

why did Faf opted to bat first today!!!! It’s like lost twice batting 2nd, so let’s try other option; when he should have batted first against BD & bowled first today. England game was lost for a middle order collapse with DKok playing a poor shot, then P’ous run out, not for the decision of chasing.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Another wicket and we'll have SA out cheaply.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Bumrah is setting up Andile here.. watch out for the toe crusher.....

 

[PakLFC]

RSA just can't play leggies. They always struggle with spinners on wickets that turn even a bit. Pak has to play many spinners when we play them if the wicket is similar. Even if RSA sore 250 plus India will walk too it.

 

[adil79]

Sanjay manjrekar with great analysis. South africa's only weakness, they dont pick off the spin off hands:

 

[Markhor]

It's better to invest in not so good coloured ones, rather than better non coloured one's who decide to abandon the ship months before a major fixture like the wc, or take the Kolpak route. That would suit best both the camps. The non coloured one's will have a clear mind that they don't have any future in SA cricket, & the coloured one's will certainly see a lot more openings & thus take much interest from a young age.

Just my 3 cents worth.

Brexit might change the Kolpak issue.

 

[szundercover]

Miller is the key.

All of south Africas world cup hopes rest on the shoulders of David miller.If some how they score 260 india will be challenged ,you guys gave 2 very good spinners and they will play a vital role today.

 

[Madplayer]

Look at the yorkers Bumrah is bowling. Pakistani bowlers should understand that yorkers can be bowled in middle overs too.

I usually hated sanjay,but his analysis has impressed me recently.

 

[Usman Chadda]

We are missing him in this WC

 

[szundercover]

Look at the yorkers Bumrah is bowling. Pakistani bowlers should understand that yorkers can be bowled in middle overs too.

Hassan ali should be specialy watching this.

He knows they will choke under pressure.

 

[AdamM97]

Look at the yorkers Bumrah is bowling. Pakistani bowlers should understand that yorkers can be bowled in middle overs too.

The main issue we have in the middle overs is Hassan Ali’s awful form. Luckily, Hafeez and Malik bowled well in the middle overs otherwise England would’ve won the match.

 

[Hasan123]

Agree. If they get runs on the board it brings Tahir and Shamsi into the game. These 2 at the crease need to bat deep. Morris could take Kumar and Pandya apart. But Morris can't do much against Kuldeep and Chahal.

 

[Hasan123]

We are missing him in this WC

Is there no better option in Pakistan than Faheem ?

 

[Usman Chadda]

The main issue we have in the middle overs is Hassan Ali’s awful form. Luckily, Hafeez and Malik bowled well in the middle overs otherwise England would’ve won the match.

One good spell, and he'll be back. Bowled extremely well to Root and Buttler in his last spell, without much reward.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Look at the yorkers Bumrah is bowling. Pakistani bowlers should understand that yorkers can be bowled in middle overs too.

Everyone understands that. However not everyone if gifted with the skill and mental conditioning to execute at will. It takes years of practice to do that. Waqar was a great example.

Hafeez and malik, if were to bowl against india, they will be slaughtered on the belter. Need to have quicks with clear bowling plan

is morris a batsman? lol

 

[K4Kohli]

I usually hated sanjay,but his analysis has impressed me recently.

He is usually annoying with his bias towards Mumbai and India, but some times he is good with his observations

 

[Usman Chadda]

Anwar 'mein khelta rahunga' Ali

 

[Hasan123]

is morris a batsman? lol

Very good striker of the ball. Doesn't always come off . Has ability no doubt.

 

[bluevision]

Could see many empty seats, heard the match was sold out!

 

[AdamM97]

He is usually annoying with his bias towards Mumbai and India, but some times he is good with his observations

Everyone’s a bit biased. Look at Ramiz Raja and how he constantly speaks about Pakistan on matches when Pakistan isn’t even playing.

 

[szundercover]

Hafeez and malik, if were to bowl against india, they will be slaughtered on the belter. Need to have quicks with clear bowling plan

Dont think so.Hafeez and malik are economical and its a shame it took mickey to realise after 11 defeats that both can be a very good 5th bowling option.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Hassan ali should be specialy watching this.

Yeah....whatever happened to the fire cracker...i mean...after the champion trophy as an indian i thought this young guy would be world num one...but he's bowling dross all along...no reverse, no yorkers...whats the coach azhar doing...and he's a good coach...

 

[Usman Chadda]

Everyone’s a bit biased. Look at Ramiz Raja and how he constantly speaks about Pakistan on matches when Pakistan isn’t even playing.

Ramiz is actually too busy slagging off Pakistan.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

SA have choked again..

 

[Mean&Green]

124/5 usual South African batting card

 

[szundercover]

Very good striker of the ball. Doesn't always come off . Has ability no doubt.

Lets see how he does today,he will definitely get a chance to bat.Miller should bat till the end,south Africa is not out of the game.

 

[JattMaula]

Why is kaptaan bowling Jadhav? Does he want to bowl all 50 overs?

 

[Titan24]

is morris a batsman? lol

He is bit like Faheem, still deciding whats his role in cricket is, though he is much older than Faheem so he might have to retire while still searching for answers.

 

[AdamM97]

Yeah....whatever happened to the fire cracker...i mean...after the champion trophy as an indian i thought this young guy would be world num one...but he's bowling dross all along...no reverse, no yorkers...whats the coach azhar doing...and he's a good coach...

Hassan ali, Faheem Ashraf and Shadab are too busy increasing their ”swag level”. Fame has destroyed Hassan Ali and Faheem.

 

[Hasan123]

Miller looks in decent form.

 

[bluevision]

Bhuvi has been ofcolor for a long long time now, hope he turns up this WC. Will make life easier for Bumrah

 

[szundercover]

Yeah....whatever happened to the fire cracker...i mean...after the champion trophy as an indian i thought this young guy would be world num one...but he's bowling dross all along...no reverse, no yorkers...whats the coach azhar doing...and he's a good coach...

I am confident he will get back in form ,he bowled excellently at the death against england but couldn't get the wickets.His batting has improved also can make 7 ball 20 runs.Which is valuable.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

This is a flat wicket and SA choked..

 

[BalluBalleBaaz]

Cant actually see why they would select Handscombe over Smith.

 

[Titan24]

Some people need to go to gupshup forum or call each other to discuss matters. Cricket is the topic of discussion here

 

[AdamM97]

Does anyone remember that one ODI South Africa played where they were 100-4 against Pakistan? Phehlukwayo and Miller(i believe) played a wonderful innings and won South Africa that match.

 

[szundercover]

How old is morris?

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Have you watched the match? This wicket is anything but flat...

 

[szundercover]

Does anyone remember that one ODI South Africa played where they were 100-4 against Pakistan? Phehlukwayo and Miller(i believe) played a wonderful innings and won South Africa that match.

not miller it was van der dussen and yes you are right it was a similar situation where south Africa successfully chase 240.

 

[szundercover]

Have you watched the match? This wicket is anything but flat...

This wicket is not flat ,its spinning and gripping.Its a good move by south Africa to include shamsi.

 

[Mehndi155]

Phelukwayu guy is tough

 

[AdamM97]

not miller it was van der dussen and yes you are right it was a similar situation where south Africa successfully chase 240.

100-5 it was and South Africa had to chase 204. And yes you’re right, it was Phehlukwayo and Van der dussen.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

This is a flat wicket and SA choked..

I would'nt call this flat...and if ind had batted...they would have struggled against rabada and co....
on another point...KJ is doing his best 'below the sea level' bowling....hilarious to watch somtimes...

 

[bluevision]

Lol..Dhoni warned Kedar beforehand the boundary!

 

[szundercover]

100-5 it was and South Africa had to chase 204. And yes you’re right, it was Phehlukwayo and Van der dussen.

sorry I forgot the score.

 

[Pakhs]

These are not same wickets as bilateral series in the last two years in England.

 

[Afhan Ali]

I think indian bowling is strongest in this world cup, with Australia at 2nd position

 

[Hasan2K8]

Can SA get 250? Miller will need a ton!

 

[szundercover]

I think indian bowling is strongest in this world cup, with Australia at 2nd position

Same here.

 

[AdamM97]

I think indian bowling is strongest in this world cup, with Australia at 2nd position

Imagine Amir and Hassan Ali at their best. Oooofff

 

[Joseph Gomes]

I think indian bowling is strongest in this world cup, with Australia at 2nd position

Who is third?

 

[AdamM97]

Who is third?

New Zealand according to me.

 

[todfod 11]

Do you watch? He is faster than Bumrah today average speed.

what about past 10 matches he has played with average speed of 136. U just a blind fan. Hassan Li is the most over rated bowler in the world. No wonder his career is going down hill

 

[Hasan123]

These 2 want to take it deep. They don't look worried about scoring for now.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

I think indian bowling is strongest in this world cup, with Australia at 2nd position

The prob with india is batting...if the top 3 fire....then all ok...else its uphill..

 

[Hasan123]

I don't think a low 200 score will be enough. Need to get to 25p somehow.

 

[Pakhs]

Its too early in the tournament but probably better for Pakistan if India beat SA in this game.

 

[Babbar]

That’s why India has to bring in Jadhav and keep Dhoni to strengthen middle order. Playboy Pandya seems to be doing well too in batting department. Then you have Rahul and Jadeja. I will take this middle order over any other team’s except England.

 

[Hasan123]

Pathetic from Miller .

 

[szundercover]

Who is third?

I dont think its newzealand because boult is the type of bowler who does good In one match,then he goes for runs in the remaining matches.West Indies have good fast bowlers probably the fastest of all teams with gabriel.oshane and Russell clicking at 145touch but they have a weak spin attack.Pakistan has a balanced bowling attack with express fast bowlers,good death bowlers un hassan ali and amir plus good spin bowlers.So I will say Pakistan in terms of balance.

 

[RainMan_]

I think indian bowling is strongest in this world cup, with Australia at 2nd position

LOL.

Their spinners will get slaughtered by any half decent batting unit on these wickets.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

New Zealand according to me.

Oh yeah, Boult and Ferguson. Afghanistan fourth then? Rashid, Mujeeb and Nabi are decent

 

[Mean&Green]

Never straight drive a spinner

 

[bluevision]

Miller gone..stupid shot

NZ won the toss, BD will bat. Will be an interesting one.
