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

[Major]

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

 

[Markhor]

His call and it was a horrific one.

Both wickets entirely self inflicted blows.

 

[cricfan1992]

Phattu culture in the entire Pakistani Cricket System where the first option is safety first.

same player khila kar hari jaa rahayyy.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

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

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Rizwan showing intent

 

[Rana]

An alright powerplay for Pakistan standards

 

[cricfan1992]

true song for pak fans in the ground: Sayoneeee, chain ik pal nahin.

 

[BouncerGuy]

10 overs 52/2.... lost wicekts are the only loss here,,, score was fine

 

[Saurav]

Wrong wicket to get Imam

 

[Bhaijaan]

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

 

[Rana]

Rizwan showing intent

No

He’s cashing in with his one shot with no fielder in that zone

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Pakistan team = Mental Midgets.

 

[mango_bite77]

Why didn;t they playyyy USMAN KHAN he was the Backup Opener noo?

Another hack, no one can save Pak cricket from the pool they have available atm either in international or domestic.

 

[Devadwal]

Wrong wicket to get Imam

We needs to take 10 Wickets.

 

[Savak]

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

 

[PakFan2010]

Saud Shakeel needs to step up here.

This is his sort of game.

Difficult pitch to bat on and a slow surface.

 

[aukhan]

What a lovely advertisement of the white ball game by imam

Stability provide kar rha tha new ball kay agay. Expect the jokers to justify this pathetic batting.

 

[dildilpak]

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.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Saud Shakeel needs to step up here.

This is his sort of game.

Difficult pitch to bat on and a slow surface.

Not mentally strong... no hopes

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

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!

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Saud guy is pathetic. Just filling in the quota

 

[cricfan1992]

Another hack, no one can save Pak cricket from the pool they have available atm either in international or domestic.

That's such a bad argument

 

[chakdeindian]

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..

 

[kingusama92]

Just need to tick things along for a bit.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Rizwan has more grit and fight than half of Indian side which is made up of chokers like KL and Gill lol.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Pak now has to rebuild. Imam has ruined a good start even losing Babar. 52-1 10 overs would have been good.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Bobby destroys hardick.

Hardhik has good record against him, dismantled babar 3 times in tournaments.

 

[Rana]

Saud Shakeel needs to step up here.

This is his sort of game.

Difficult pitch to bat on and a slow surface.

Not a difficult pitch at all

Stop telling yourselves it is

 

[daytrader]

@daytrader loving this batting by Pakistan in the powerplay

52 runs scored. Not bad. I would've been satisfied with less with one less wicket. All good though Kaptana kar le ga

 

[Kroll]

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.

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.

 

[cricfan1992]

Saud guy is pathetic. Just filling in the quota

Will take Axar and Jadeja to cleaners

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Cmon man just shut up. Watching Pakistan bat is bad enough we have to bear this torture from you too

Why don't you go and eat some black lentils and let others support the team how they want?

 

[Major]

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

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

 

[Deewana Mastana]

230-9 final score?

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Why is Saud ahead of Kamran? Kamran played so well against SA

 

[mango_bite77]

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!

aray bhai chup kr, jb krega tb sb dekhege.

Aiwey naa phutaa maar

 

[Rana]

When your fast bowling all rounder is capable of removing opposition’s best bat

That’s what you need

 

[dildilpak]

Guys based on what u have see so far, what is the par score here today?

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Rizwan century will have soem so called Pak supporters crying today.

 

[Fazzy321]

Would 250 be good on this pitch?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indian bowling was incredibly pathetic. Very ill disciplined. Wides, half vollies. No control whatsoever.

 

[Rana]

New batsman in, where is the slip by Rohit?

 

[emranabbas]

Guys based on what u have see so far, what is the par score here today?

300+

 

[Ali T]

Saud is looking like he's middling the bowl.
Hoping he can do something of use in a high pressure match

 

[JattMaula]

Guys based on what u have see so far, what is the par score here today?

280

 

[mrtaim3]

Guys based on what u have see so far, what is the par score here today?

320

 

[Usman Chadda]

Guys based on what u have see so far, what is the par score here today?

270-280 wicket

 

[mango_bite77]

Indian bowling was incredibly pathetic. Very ill disciplined. Wides, half vollies. No control whatsoever.

Yes, poor bowling - got lucky with 2 wickets in powerplay.

 

[emranabbas]

Why the just tapping to fields don't know how to find gaps

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Rizwan already showing mohalla spinner Kuldeep who the boss is. This is not BD batsmen, India.

 

[jnaveen1980]

How many unfit guys are on the park. Shami, Rohit.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Clear instruction from Rizwan to Saud at the other end. Yawylabuzagarraab huagajagala wajuga wallagaja a

 

[Devadwal]

Gill is captain now

 

[gani999]

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

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.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Mr ICC, Shami chachu back on the attack.

Injection lagwa ke aaaya hae

 

[psyoptica]

Rizwan century will have so called Pak supporters like Bassim and Psytopi crying today.

what made you think we want Rizwan to fail? I hope he can score a century but I'm not delusional

 

[Devadwal]

260+ is winning total

Guys based on what u have see so far, what is the par score here today?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shami should have never played this CT.

 

[Rana]

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?!?

 

[Devadwal]

Mr ICC, Shami chachu back on the attack.

Injection lagwa ke aaaya hae

He is bowling below average .

They are rotating the strike

 

[Ali Active]

Saud guy is pathetic. Just filling in the quota

Saud can be good atleast in dubai i guess

 

[msb314]

Atleast both of these are trying to rotate the strike

 

[Bhaijaan]

Shikhar Dhawan looking like a Fast & Furious villain.

 

[emranabbas]

Top 4 are useless batting starts at 5 and ends at 6

 

[chinaman00]

We needs to take 10 Wickets.

India doesn’t need to take 10 wickets. Pakistan will give them 10 wickets.

 

[JattMaula]

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?!?

Yeah. It's bonkers.

 

[Major]

Man this stadium is really beautiful.

 

[Devadwal]

Rizwan is playing well.

 

[psyoptica]

Pak really needs Agha to deliver. The only authentic batsman in the Pakistan team

 

[Kianig89]

2 down , Pakistan on defensive need to play smart here

 

[Bhaijaan]

Ok Shami chachu is cranking that pace now. Message is clear. Aaaj jaaan lagado baaaki dekhi jayegi

 

[jnaveen1980]

India should have gone with Arshdeep and Harshit.

 

[Rana]

Rizzu Symonds added cut shot to his arsenal

He has two shots now, the legwan and the cut

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Saud key

India needs to get him early

 

[Bhaijaan]

What a defense from Rizwan bro. His defense looking impregnable already.

 

[cricfan1992]

India not exposing spinners at Saud. Saud needs to pass these overs

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Babar on the charge. How predictable was this. Big game, biggest player out of the 22 playing today steps up. Can't wait for @Devadwal @Bhaag Viru Bhaag @Dr_Bassim to eat their words.

You never learned your lesson, did you? Always busy eating your own humble pie, eh?

 

[Asad Ali2004]

India not exposing spinners at Saud. Saud needs to pass these overs

Yeah he is my fantasy captain

 

[jnaveen1980]

India has bowled 8 extra bowls technically 13.3 overs with 8 extra runs

 

[Devadwal]

What a defense from Rizwan bro. His defense looking impregnable already.

He is eyeing for the big score
