What's new

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

And to think Sharma was dropped in the 2nd over
 
India don't need to worry about RRR. Just see out this period and wait for bowlers to tire.

Or you can do what Rohit did there and smack it into the stands for six.
 
So far highest score by any team this World Cup is 348 winning total by Pakistan. Let that sink in for a while...
 
Never bowl short to Rohit even when he is totally out of touch and batting with legs.
 
Current run rate 1.95! Pakistani batsman would have been massacred by people here if they had batted like this...

You might have gotten your answer in the last 2 balls, even though they had a sedate start they can make it up in a matter of bowls. While Imam and Babar cannot. It is Fakhar or bust if we need a quick start.
 
Think Rohit hit Shinwari or Amir like that in the Asia Cup.
 
Lol Mark Nichols making out as though Rohit having a lot of 6s is shocking. :)))

Have you seen the quality of bowing? Pakistan batters fail to out loose balls away, these Indian batters don't.
 
More runs came off that over than the previous 7 :)))

Didn't Imam hit consecutive boundaries the last match (a 4 and a 6) early on?
 
Rohit Sharma can and will steamroll any bowler once he gets set. South Africa must get him out before he crosses 25.
 
Unless someone strikes big, India should take this

even if they lose another 3 quick

Lmao. How can Pakistani fans still complain about Babar.... baffling
 
Indian top 3 are best in business due to there strong temperament .Excellent comeback from rohit sharma .If it was any other top order they might have disintegrated due to pressure
 
How has Shoaib Malik wound up on that list of six hitters :))

I am surprised as well. But I mean if you look at our team pre world cup only Fakhar was able to hit sixes. Other than that we had Malik in our middle order. (He really cashed on the spinners)
 
Rohit is timing the ball much better now. SAF must work hard, this is the most crucial time. This match will be yet another batting practice if Rohit crosses 50
 
South Africa needs to keep fielders in the circle or else both of these will now milk the bowling easily ..
 
Lol Sanjay Manjrekar doesn't even know you don't lost review if it's umpires call
 
Kohli striking at 28....imagine if Babar had to play this role, a few of these so called fans would start a thread about it
 
Ganguly doesn't seem to know rules of reviewing that you don't lose your review when it's umpire's call....
 
I don't know it's just coincidence or not but when India crushing we hardly seen here much reply but when India struggling so much people came .
Not something to surprise, i have once supported India in my life and that was 2003 Wc final, But that does not mean I have personal grudges or disliking with any player.I was here for fantastic piece of cricket in first 10 overs, throughly enjoyed.
 
Almost 75% of the ball was not hitting the stumps.
Having said that we have been very Lucky today.

Yeah. SA could have finished on high and Rohit coupd have been caught. Could have been a different game altogether. SA still have a chance though
 
Irrespective of this match. Umpire’s call should be scrapped. In real life if ball clips the bails it’s out.

Too many advantages for batsmen. I get irritateted every time I see this.

Agreed. Balance has to be restored.
 
India will chase this easy. Just seeing off the new ball and then going to easily chase.
 
The biggest Breaking News of the WC is that England hosted us for 5 series. Yet for a crucial match against us they lost it.😂😂😂😂😂😂 Tx English we will take 4-0 defeat over a WC win.
 
You just have to have a gully for Kohli. He always give chance there early on.

If a batsman is given out everytime ball hits stumps, you won't see too many big innings.
