What's new

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

It is a career defining match for many players.
If we lose this match I can see a few players being axed.

Pretty evident this guy Bobsy has no real batting brain. It’s like you are bowling to a batting machine (as compared to a bowling machine). Pitch it full and the machine will drive you. That’s all it is now
 
How many vada Pavs today for Rohit? If he scores 50 then have 100
But one run, get one free

He wasn't that bad. I think he needs to develop one or two release shots. Like a front pull down the track hit or pasli shot. From the way he bats it's evident that he is really skilled. Just timid and doesn't develop range. Hafeez said it right. Only plays from comfort zone
 
Can’t wait till india
Get Mayank yadav along with kuldeep sen and yudhvir Singh in the lineup for tests and odi

Also yash thakur is looking good
 
Usual pathetic effort with bat, India will chase without breaking sweat
 
India will get off to a flyer in 10 overs
Kohli will keep score ticking
India will win in 40-45 overs with no pressure as our bowlers bowl a mandatory boundary ball every over

Same crap every icc tournament

Back to 2017 highlights for the fans
 
The pitch is providing more assistance to spinners – how will Pakistan respond?

Pakistani bowlers will move earth and mountains tonight to defend this total.

We better be ready to protect the wicket bro.

Herschuelle Gibbs has revealed many times in twitter that as Karachi Kings coach he suggested a few release shots to Babar but Babar was comfortable with sticking to his comfort zone. Adam Hollioake has confirmed the same issue about Babar not being open to suggestions to improve his batting.

He is one of the most unique ODI batsman in history. Heavy average with zero dominating game.
 
"When Hardik Pandya got that wicket of Babar Azam, who was batting brilliantly and in good flow.

Hardik was hit for four on the previous ball which was a half-volley. He pulled his length back, bowled it a bit wider and got the wicket. Very clever bowling"

Sunil Gavaskar in the innings break.

Sarfaraz was a top captain this riwan guy is nit fit to tie his shoe laces
 
How does Imam who wasn't part of the original squad, comes in to replace fakhar and instantly gets to play?
 
Saud Shakeel at the mid-innings interview:

"I was just taking a chance there. It wasn’t the right time to get out.

Early on, the ball was coming onto the bat nicely, and there was some swing. But the pitch has slowed down now.

We have to put up a fight with the ball. Taking early wickets will be key to putting pressure on India. We need to strike early, definitely."

I'd give anything for Hardik to have been born in Pakistan. So much guts and belief.
 
Well it's do or die now.

Need to give it their all to defend this total especially with the fielding.

Is that why he was at the top of the runs and ranking chart for 4 years?

Babar's number 1 rank highlights the deficiencies of the ranking algorithm.
He was one of the top player but never good enough to be THE BEST at any stage of his career. There were always better batsmen. His stats have been inflated by playing against Zimbabwe, Nepal, Hong Kong or B/C sides of top teams.
 
Will be a tricky chase, not easy at all....pitch is becoming slow and spinners can get grip and purchase....as an indian fan i hope our guys come out of pp with minimal damages

As long as Naqvi and Aaqib there Riz, babar and Shaheen will stay. We lost to US and nothing happened. India is a superior team so PCB will digest this defeat.

The one knock I love of Babar is that one vs nz in 2019

Since then he has been poor
That was a clutch knock

Something even kohli can’t do in odi

Life isn’t fair unfortunately

It sucks. People need to open the doors by force
 
Mid-innings Pitch Report | Ian Bishop: "It's a lot cooler now than when the game started. I am looking at the foot-marks, the pitch is actually held together nicely. You can see where the bowler has followed through here, it's not significant, there's no great advantage for the ball to grip out of these foot-marks. The middle of the pitch is good. Little bit of help for the spinners. It has gotten cooler, I don't know if dew will form. We saw in the powerplay, India's bowlers getting the ball to swing, they didn't control very well. But in that powerplay, 1.3 degrees of swing and Pakistan will be hoping that continues."
 
As usual Shaheen bowls a full blooded inswinger to Rohit who plays it out no problem at all. Completely predictable and one dimensional
 
Shaheen is too predictable. He test two balls than bowls the third in the middle stump
 
Even the fans know what Shaheen is going to bowl in the first over of a high level match against Rohit Sharma, but this genius thinks Sharma has not accounted for that….
 
Look at Rizwan behind the stumps, the tool is prancing already like he played a captain’s knock with the bat.

How can any of the players respect you after that ?

🤡🤡🤡
 
Can Say what you want but Shaheen is still fascinating to watch

Always exciting to see him swing the ball at pace
