What's new

India (244/4) comprehensively defeat Pakistan (241) by 6 wickets in their group-stage encounter of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025

India's fielding and fitness levels is gun vs Pakistan. There is no rivalry bw the two teams. India is now a first world cricket nation vs Pakistan
Poor choice of words.

That is competitiveness not rivalry. Rivalry is something else
 
Rizwan. This is the game for India. You see the tension in India now. They know this is make or break. Big game, big player. Come on Kaptaana! Show them that they may have once had Dhoni but we have you. Fully behind our Kaptaana. Good cameo from Bobby on a minefield. 220 will be more than enough here
 
Match nicely in balance after 10 overs

Anyone’s game still. Pakistan wasted the start. Should have ideally been 70/0 or 70-1 by now max
 
Man I have to appreciate the Indian fielding tactics here. These guys know how to practice for run outs. They have accurate throws.

If you watch the fielding training of our boys, they seem to just have fun and enjoy when doing fielding practice and dont really show intent. Every run out throw we make is basically missing the stumps, we just hope for luck. So our batters think the same.

So anyways, good run out by India there, showed their ability.

The problem is the Pakistani players have too much power and influence, they can easily get hard task masters removed by using their political and other connections and I won't be surprised if this is what happened when we out of the blue decided to get rid of Kirsten and Gillespie
 
Strange first 10 overs. Thought India bowled poorly. Doesn’t seem like there is much spin or swing in the wicket. Pak seemed to be batting well as well. But just 52/2. J can’t tell if it’s a good or bad outcome for Pak.
 
I sense a hundred for Rizwan today. Man of the match performance to kick India out of the tournament. His doubters will forever be silenced today. Stage is set. Come on kaptaana!
 
TBH Babar played really well before getting out..pitch is good..a better fast bowling team would have taken 3 wickets with lesser runs in this pitch..a better batting team would have scored 6 runs per over..still feel Pakistan is going to post a big score..unless our spinners do something..
 
Pak now has to rebuild. Imam has ruined a good start even losing Babar. 52-1 10 overs would have been good.

If Imam wasn't playing so badly, would have been 60/1 at least, extra wicket down is problematic for Pak, need big partnership here.

no they cant, these are just stories.

Players in the team are powerless and cant get people removed. Its ex players who want jobs and media personalities
 
When your fast bowling all rounder is capable of removing opposition’s best bat

That’s what you need
 
Saud is looking like he's middling the bowl.
Hoping he can do something of use in a high pressure match
 
Clear instruction from Rizwan to Saud at the other end. Yawylabuzagarraab huagajagala wajuga wallagaja a

No sh1t Sherlock. Anything less than 250 will be a walk in the park for India. Pak need to make at least 270-280 here.
 
Mr ICC, Shami chachu back on the attack.

Injection lagwa ke aaaya hae
 
Failing to understand what Rohit wants to do here

He brought on Shami to get the away angle to the left hander, but has no slip?!?
 
Atleast both of these are trying to rotate the strike
 
Ok Shami chachu is cranking that pace now. Message is clear. Aaaj jaaan lagado baaaki dekhi jayegi
 
Rizzu Symonds added cut shot to his arsenal

He has two shots now, the legwan and the cut
 
What a defense from Rizwan bro. His defense looking impregnable already.
