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

[Ali T]

Imam ul Haq what a grand return to the Pakistan side

10 off 30 balls loool

Would rather have seen Shan Masood in his place

 

[kron]

So Gill is the future captain after RS. Ind in good hands. Quality player!

He is rubbish in tests
Only in odi. Fraud player

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Not the same pitch.

It’s a 270-280 wicket

Oh bhaee Rohit at the toss said it is a similar pitch. They also wanted to bat first. No chance for India if we make 250 which we should.

 

[Asad T]

Pakistan just playing in the usual 1990's fashion, i.e. 4.5 an over till the 40th and then will look to go at 8 an over

boring stuff

 

[mango_bite77]

Strike rotation is costing Pak big time. Rizwan unnecessarily building dots.

 

[baba ghazi]

pakistan digging a nice little hole for them..this pitch is better than bangaldesh match pitch and it seems liek they have completely forgotten how to score runs on such pitches

 

[mominsaigol]

Lol at prople.praising pandya, he isnt doing anything besides bowling straight


Pakistan is making him look class. Then again I can't blame.pandya, he's a quality bowler but I wouldn't try against Pakistan either.

Why use your brains against batters who don't have any.

 

[Shafi]

Anything above 250 looks a tough chase just like the previous match here.

300 + is an impossible chase on this ground on any pitch.

BD has far better bowlers than us whether its spinner or fast.

 

[Varun]

Pakistan just playing in the usual 1990's fashion, i.e. 4.5 an over till the 40th and then will look to go at 8 an over

boring stuff

"Will look to..." being the key words.

 

[Ali T]

Chances of the run rate dropping below 4?

 

[kron]

Still Indian fans can never truly like KL Rahul

Biggest fraud joker in the world. Chokes at a hint of pressure.

 

[AAli98]

Indians getting there own way again playing 2 minnows first NZ last.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Pakistan needs to see of Pandya, Kuldeep, Axar, Jadeja, and Shami, then attack Harshit

 

[mominsaigol]

Your from Karachi right?

Lahore originally, Sydney currently.

 

[Slim]

You said it.
270-280 seems like target score for Rizzler boys

Not enough, 300+ minimum otherwise its pretty much curtains bar a miracle bowling performance.

 

[Rana]

4 runs off his first ball

Now 11 off 26

 

[Deewana Mastana]

100 should come up by the 28th over.

@Rana even you know that

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

It is interesting that Pakistan has only lost 2 wickets but they are batting like they have lost 5. I said this before, but just to emphasise this game is still there to be won, but Pakistan went 5 overs before hitting a boundary, so it seems they are purposely batting their way to a losing total. Very weird but not that surprising given Pakistan's previous history of fixing.

 

[FearlessRoar]

73 dot balls so far

Hit a boundary man!

 

[RidiculousMan]

Taking the game deep again

 

[jamie smith]

Pak need to up the ante.

 

[Ahmed216]

Saud holds the key he can rotate stroke against the spinners

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Garbage retarded DJ

 

[gani999]

Are they struggling to score here, or just taking it easy? It's starting to feel like a 5 day game.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

@Rana i change my mind now, I wouldn't replace rizwan for peak sarfi even if I was offered a million dollars.

He's so bad ong. Atleast sarfi smashed duminy for 3 sixes in a row and dominated Australia in uae soil.

How pathetic can you be against bowlers who are just okay? This bowling isn't anything special, it's bang avg

Bro Sarfi is a loser who couldn't dream of chasing 350 down like Rizzu. Sarfi did nothing with the bat in any of his matches vs India in ODIs. He was the pure definition of halwa batter.

 

[baba ghazi]

Pakistan just playing in the usual 1990's fashion, i.e. 4.5 an over till the 40th and then will look to go at 8 an over

boring stuff

this partnership is literally playing 2-3 rpo..this is really timid cricket

 

[Rana]

@Rana even you know that

Looks like boss but they should get to around 120 by then

 

[Major]

Lol at prople.praising pandya, he isnt doing anything besides bowling straight


Pakistan is making him look class. Then again I can't blame.pandya, he's a quality bowler but I wouldn't try against Pakistan either.

exactly. Pandya has no pace, Pakistan is not even taking him on, and Rohit is just using these overs to get through Pandya.

If Pakistan attacks Pandya, Rohit would be forced to change Pandya after one over and bring in Jadeja.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This pace attack from India is not the best one. They should more against them.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Over reactions as usual.

275+ is a winning score here.

They are playing fine, just keep rotating for the next few overs and then start to kick off.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Good captaincy by Rohit. Keeping pace on from one end. Not feeding spinners to both these two in tandem.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

73 dot balls so far

Hit a boundary man!

Now you come out with the dot balls all this time I said 50 you didn't bother to answer.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Just because you have Rishwat in your name it doesn't mean everyone is loose. Mods should not allow garbage like this to cast aspersions against our players.

 

[TheSultan]

Our players live for this. Create a crisis, then take a lot of pride in “managing the crisis” so no-one can criticise their cowardly batting “ve vere managing crisis”

 

[RidiculousMan]

Over reactions as usual.

275+ is a winning score here.

They are playing fine, just keep rotating for the next few overs and then start to kick off.

They will not reach 275+ with this batting. 250 max. They need to be more proactive here. Like Australia was last night.

 

[aboveandbeyond]

270 - 280 good score. The slowness of the outfield is a good indicator

 

[Bhaijaan]

Impressive temperament from
Saud bhai. He’s one for the future

 

[msb314]

Wow aggression from Saud

 

[mominsaigol]

Bro Sarfi is a loser who couldn't dream of chasing 350 down like Rizzu. Sarfi did nothing with the bat in any of his matches vs India in ODIs. He was the pure definition of halwa batter.

His sa game in wc, His Sri lanka innings in ct granted a bit of a fluke, His innings vs England and his innings vs Australia or his uae test performances beat Rizwan.

Rizwan is more consistent though and will score more often.

 

[baba ghazi]

I see Hardik, his pace and than I wonder, had Faheem been born just a further away from Kasur, how would had the Indians developed him

would have been IPL star for sure..fast bowling allrounders are valued in india

 

[RidiculousMan]

Run rate went from 5 to 4.

 

[topspin]

Imam ul Haq what a grand return to the Pakistan side

10 off 30 balls loool

I read this from a poster “I have a feeling that Imam is going to win the game for Pakistan”

 

[Omer2002]

You said it.
270-280 seems like target score for Rizzler boys

They wont get that at this rate i think 240 250 is their target which india will getvin 40 overs

 

[cricfan1992]

Good captaincy by Rohit. Keeping pace on from one end. Not feeding spinners to both these two in tandem.

Yes. Rizwan needs to hit a few boundaries to pace

 

[Rana]

Get ready for the Rizzy hoick

honestly, i think pakistan just suck
the betting odds vs india are just too low to make money from

 

[Slim]

270 - 280 good score. The slowness of the outfield is a good indicator

Players like Sharma take outfield out of the equation when they go aerial. We dont have single one such player.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Run rate went from 5 to 4.

I don't particularly mind this approach given what happened in Ahmedabad.

 

[Bhaijaan]

270 - 280 good score. The slowness of the outfield is a good indicator

Going to be tricky chasing anything more than 250 on a pitch like this which clearly has demons in it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Against pakistan pace is a must

 

[Major]

Have to say, India vs Pakistan commentary is very bland.... Wasim, Gavaskar, Shastri just repeat the same garbage.

Would prefer the commentary panel of the England test series here always have some insightful takes.

 

[Slim]

Block block block to the offside, hit one single, block block block as if your life depends on it. Just keep the bat straight. Such awful batting.

 

[mango_bite77]

That throw from Jadeja showed the hard work indians are doing off the field

 

[Varun]

Which bookie would pay Pakistani cricketers to play badly lol.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Dont worry... this is just 1st session of the test match... These batters will come good soon

 

[RidiculousMan]

Impressive temperament from
Saud bhai. He’s one for the future

For Test matches for sure.

 

[Slim]

What demons bro? Pitch is total halwa

 

[Ali T]

Impressive temperament from
Saud bhai. He’s one for the future

lol lol
problem is he doesn't have the firepower like Maxwell to accelerate at will.
And if he gets out it's just applied pressure on subsequent batsmen.

Must be super boring for Indian's to watch this

 

[Rana]

The captain of Pakistan protesting against modern cricket

 

[Bhaijaan]

Partnership of 30 58)

Nice anchor job from these two.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Sharma Gill and Kohli won't last the powerplay on this pitch vs Shaheen and Naseem. Kaptaana and Saud just need to take it deep till 35th over and then Rizwan can launch his t20 mode with wickets in hand and likes of Agha in the shed.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Batting second on this pitch is not easy, we need to restrict Pakistan to below 250.

India will chase anything we get. This match is finished already

 

[Hikaru]

Enjoy Pakistan batting for the laughs. What cowards.

 

[cricfan1992]

Is this really a 220-230 pitch? not much spin even

 

[RidiculousMan]

Both these batters are sleeping. Not even looking for 2s

 

[psyoptica]

That's it. Can't

It is interesting that Pakistan has only lost 2 wickets but they are batting like they have lost 5. I said this before, but just to emphasise this game is still there to be won, but Pakistan went 5 overs before hitting a boundary, so it seems they are purposely batting their way to a losing total. Very weird but not that surprising given Pakistan's previous history of fixing.

You're giving boys too much credit. This is how they have always batted and if the last match was any indication, these guys are not capable to fight their way out of a paper bag if their life depended on it. Players like Rizwan, Babar and Saud are the epitome of mediocrity and selfishness

 

[BouncerGuy]

Saud was rated too high but TBH, he is pathetic in LOI....

 

[Bhaijaan]

What demons bro? Pitch is total halwa

I don’t know i a have a feeling there is a demon or two in this pitch

 

[Ali T]

The pitch to me looks more like 290-310
First few overs were a bit challenging but there's no awkward bounce, no real turn.
Maybe bowl is stopping a bit, but think the batsmen are making it look harder than it is.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Players like Sharma take outfield out of the equation when they go aerial. We dont have single one such player.

We do. Both are injured.

This lot can never be accused of that, just utter tripe from them and have consistently played a cowardly brand of cricket. However, playing for yourself and other ulterior motives off the pitch should definitely categorise such individuals under corruption.

 

[Blackbradman]

Rizwan scored 8 runs in last 30 balls

 

[BouncerGuy]

There is a bit of spin in the pitch...

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

honestly, i think pakistan just suck
the betting odds vs india are just too low to make money from

Betting wouldn't be on result, spot fixing would be on other stuff like how many overs you can play without hitting a boundary.

 

[Asif321]

Why Rizwan so timid

 

[psyoptica]

Which bookie would pay Pakistani cricketers to play badly lol.

exactly

 

[castortroy]

This is shocking

 

[jnaveen1980]

Is this really a 220-230 pitch? not much spin even

There is no spin at all whatosever. You should destroy spinners here atleast now.

 

[PakFan2010]

A lot of the stadium is empty.

It looks like some Indian fans found out Pakistan were batting and decided to turn up in the afternoon.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Rizwan soaking all the pressure like a spongebobbie
