India (231/4) defeat Bangladesh (228) by 6 wickets to make a triumphant start to their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign

[mominsaigol]

India will easily win this. Then they'll kick Pakistan out of ct as well. This would tournament is NZ vs Eng vs SA vs India quad series lol

 

[Itachi]

Bangladesh is such minnow that even Rohit can smash them.

 

[jnaveen1980]

"selfless" Rohit is swinging wildly

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Rohit emulating Mccullum since 2023 in ODIs now and on majority of the occasions it works for him

 

[Bhaijaan]

Rage Rage against the dying of light Rohit bhai.

One last hurrah!

 

[Mas-LFC]

Mustafiz is finished. A nothing bowler these days. Unless the wicket offers grip and turn he has no place on a flat wickets. He has no more mystery the fastef 140kph and the slower one with same arm action. Playing in that first ipl he played ruined his career really, getting injured and never recovered.

Attack Attack Attack

Destroy everything at sight. Where Mitch 29 Starc at

 

[Mas-LFC]

Mustafizt is a liability in todays BD pace bowling attack. Cant believe am saying this, this is about the same guy who was unplayable 2015-2019!

 

[mominsaigol]

It's a good thing i chose an indian 11 and I chose rohit as my captain lol.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Gill !!!

Gill !!

Oh bhai what timing yaaar!

 

[Bhaijaan]

It's a good thing i chose an indian 11 and I chose rohit as my captain lol.

But you didn’t pick GoatShami. He got all them points today lol.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Gill !!!

Gill !!

SARA,

Unblock him.

 

[mominsaigol]

But you didn’t pick GoatShami. He got all them points today lol.

I did. I chose an indian 11, what part of that don't you under for my fantasy 11 team? I only missed out on arshdeep but it's fine.

 

[Sachin fan]

Great stats but where is the ICC Trophy win to show for it?

if only 1 guy could win trophies, we wouldnt need rest of 10 guys. Batsmen choking doesnt have much to do with Shami's bowling

 

[Bhaijaan]

Waddup @sweep_shot bhai,

Energy level so down in bowling. Need some fire in the bowling. More aggression needed otherwise it’s a walk in the park for these dudes

 

[Bhaijaan]

LOL all Bharat XI

No love for Sweepy boys?

Management needs to wise up and stop using Fiz on flat wickets. Only keep him in the squad there for left arm use on slow- wickets, if there is any during tournaments. Hasan Mahmud is much more accurate with better control.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pitch is slow pitch. Timing is a bit off for these guys

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is a slow wicket. Just that he is not using slow balls

It's not playing in the IPL that ruined him. What a dishonest, illiterate take.

His pace was never going to last after that shoulder injury. You cannot keep bowling cutters at the pace he was trying to bowl early in his career. It's asking for injury.

He became mediocre because he didn't have any skills to fall back on and just became a mediocre trundler.

 

[jamie smith]

Gill plzz score a ton.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Hitman muscled that for 4

Bereham

 

[Itachi]

Bangladesh bowling is so pathetic that they should stop playing international cricket.

Embarrassment truly.

 

[mominsaigol]

LOL all Bharat XI

No love for Sweepy boys?

I'm trying to win fantasy 11, not lose it.

I'll pick indian 11 vs Pakistan again.

Any game vs Bangladesh or Pakistan, you pick the other 11 lol.

For the rest you have to be a bit creative, unless it's Afghanistan vs India in which case you pick indian 11 again.

 

[Van_Sri]

India Pakistan Match will be the decider

 

[jamie smith]

I selected tanzid,mehidy and taskin in my team but all 3 failed.
need gill and sharma to score heavy runs now.

He is still better than Naseem IMO.

India is cruising.

Azik: "Last night Pakistan played the PP like they were chasing 228, today India is batting like they're chasing 320"

True this.

why is nahid rana not playing??

Babar going for that century next match. I’m telling you.

 

[Mas-LFC]

See the difference. Miraz played away from the body at the ball that swung away a little. Sharma in the 2nd over of Ind batting innings had a similar delivery from Taskin swung away but left it alone. Quality judgement early on even on good batting wicket is needed. BD batters done have that in ODI’s.

Yes. I want all the flattery from Cricbuzz, Espn, Pakistani YouTubers until Kiwis, South Africans knock us out.

 

[Mas-LFC]

What kind of dive was that. Soumya should be doing modelling instead of cricket.

Lack of aggression.

What happened to Taskin. He used to be loud back in the day pre transition

 

[jamie smith]

Tanzim vs Kohli will be fun.

 

[mominsaigol]

What a hypocrisy!

How is it hypocritical? Get better at fantasy 11, same goes for this guy @Devadwal who somehow always ends up at the bottom of the table

 

[Devadwal]

From the 4th slowest to reach 2000 runs in ODIs to 2nd fastest to reach 11000 runs in ODIs. Rohit Sharma has come a long way

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar going for that century next match. I’m telling you.

In the same way Donald trump is going for Canada

 

[OldWarHorse]

Team BPL not started too well

 

[shah9425]

Great batting from Rohit

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

 

[jnaveen1980]

2nd tier six by GIll

 

[Hellion]

He is still better than Naseem IMO.

No, he is not . Naseem may be mediocre but he bowls a line and length and hits the seam . Maybe his fitness is not the greatest.

The Fizz bowls cutters from ball 1. Very limited shelf life if that's all you are trying to do. And absolutely damaging for your normal action as well.

 

[Devadwal]

What a shot. Best of the Tournament so far

 

[jamie smith]

How is it hypocritical? Get better at fantasy 11, same goes for this guy @Devadwal who somehow always ends up at the bottom of the table

Country and competition should be kept separate.

 

[jnaveen1980]

One of the most attractive six you can see. Short arm jab

 

[Hellion]

Good to see this foul mouthed, cocky Sakib shown his aukat

 

[jamie smith]

This might be over by the 35th over.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

That 6 was awesome

 

[Champ_Pal]

These BD trundlers are not going to trouble even an old Rohit.

Gill also treating these medium pacers with disdain.

 

[jamie smith]

First time in my life I am supporting India and they havent disappointed.

 

[gani999]

Yes. I want all the flattery from Cricbuzz, Espn, Pakistani YouTubers until Kiwis, South Africans knock us out.

Have faith, my friend. Whatever happens will be.

 

[Devadwal]

For next match i will take most of pakistan player's because whoever i select never performed . captain is 100% guarented to fail

 

[Thanos]

Damn. That was a good shot for six from Gill.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That shot once again reinforces that Rohit is very old

 

[OldWarHorse]

Rohit has degraded so much. Can't time these pull shots, his bread and butter

Remember him treating Hasan Ali and Usman Shinwari as club level bowlers on this same ground

 

[Rana]

@daytrader bhai yeh powerplay main sixes kyun maar rahe hain?????

 

[jamie smith]

Keep it on boys.
Need a 10 wicket win.

 

[mominsaigol]

For next match i will take most of pakistan player's because whoever i select never performed . captain is 100% guarented to fail

Ik you suck at fantasy 11. That's what I'm saying. Just get better at it man. Then again I suck at it compared to @YousafTheBeast who always wins.

I'm always ranked 4th to 5th.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Where is Nahid Rana? He would've been the only BD bowler to hurry old man Rohit into playing false shots. These 130k pacers are cannon fodder for Rohit and Gill.

 

[gslv]

Someone is looking like a goat and bullied like a bakra.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Taskin is a good bowler. But this pitch is not offering much of help

 

[Sachin fan]

No, he is not . Naseem may be mediocre but he bowls a line and length and hits the seam . Maybe his fitness is not the greatest.

The Fizz bowls cutters from ball 1. Very limited shelf life if that's all you are trying to do. And absolutely damaging for your normal action as well.

Their numbers arent too far off and Fizz has been doing it for way longer. Tests both have almost same average and Fizz has 163 wickets

T20 Fizz is way superior (21 average vs Naseem's 34)

ODIs Fizz averages 26 vs Naseem's 23 but Naseem has been averaging almost 37 since 2024.

Naseem will end up with much poorer numbers over his career.

 

[mominsaigol]

With that being said tmr I'm definitely not choosing bavuma in my 11. Horrible pick.

Fizz is one of the most exposed bowler in internationals. They play him in leagues in all formats.

 

[jamie smith]

budhaii match jaldi khatam kar.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Old man gets out finally after numerous attempts lol

 

[Vikram1989]

Pp and rohit both are done as usual

 

[Devadwal]

Ik you suck at fantasy 11. That's what I'm saying. Just get better at it man. Then again I suck at it compared to @YousafTheBeast who always wins.

I'm always ranked 4th to 5th.

Im using my reverse jinxing skills to better cause for team india.

 

[sweep_shot]

Rohit is out.

 

[Croma]

I just logged in and Rohit is gone... but this should be an easy chase anyway

 

[jnaveen1980]

Next past by sell date in

 

[FearlessRoar]

Rohit Bhai missed his century—let's back him

 

[Hellion]

Naseem will end up with much poorer numbers over his career.

Mustafizur has only done well in places where wickets grip and against weak opponents.

Useless against everyone else and on flat pitches.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Shubman Gill playing the pull shot in ODIs against pacers: 370 runs, Average 92.5, S/R 237

No batter has scored more runs with this shot in ODIs since the start of 2022. Globally, batters have averaged 30 at a S/R of 182 playing this shot in this timeframe.

 

[Hellion]

Hopefully , Kohli won't take entire 50 overs to chase this down

 

[mominsaigol]

Im using my reverse jinxing skills to better cause for team india.

Their shpuld be devadwal the cricket fan and then devadwal the fantasy cricket champ Can't have both in a competition .

I picked indian 11 today cause I knew india would stomp and I picked rohit as cao cause I knew that he'd bash until PP where he'd get out but it was a guarantee as it was the trend in wc 2023.

Everyone else is up and down. No clue if Gill or kphli or sheryas will perform or not. Hence rohit as captain in my fantasy 11 was a safe bet for 10 overs atleast.
