India (247/9) crush England (97) by 150 runs in the 5th T20I to seal the 5-match series 4-1

[Deewana Mastana]

England isn't chasing whatever they score here

 

[Devadwal]

Abhishek is such a clean hitter of the ball.

Uncluttered technique lovely swing of the bat. Pleasure watching his knock today

He has learnt hitting six ability from yuvi and lara .

 

[Justcrazy]

250 still on here

 

[Rana]

He has learnt hitting six ability from yuvi and lara .

Wohi Brian Lara jis ki average Rizwan se kam hai? @Kianig89

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is the match up

Leg spin v Abhishek

abhishek vs Adil Rashid

20 balls 47 runs. 5 sixes

Abhishek vs Rashid khan

30 balls 63 runs 5 sixes

 

[Bhaijaan]

Last year when we had all these crazy scores in the IPL and Abhishek Sharma was doing this along with Travis Head I was like Meh there’s no way Abhishek’s ever going to do it in international cricket.

He came to international cricket and did ‘IT’ against Zimbabwe. Then I was like ok there’s no way he’s doing it against a quality international bowling line up.

Today he’s done ‘IT’ against Adil Rashid spin bowling and Mark Wood/Jofra Archer bowling 150kph.

Unbelievable stuff


@jnaveen1980

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a knock. One of the most enjoyable century in T20

 

[Deewana Mastana]

135 off 53 balls Abhishek Sharma

 

[Bhaijaan]

Abhishek Sharma has destroyed Adil Rashid tonight.

This is crazy batting.

Adil Rashid is one of the best spinners ever in LOI cricket

 

[Justcrazy]

255 likely from here

 

[Bhaijaan]

OUT
Gone for 135 from 54 deliveries

Take a bow

@jnaveen1980

I have been following him since the under-19 days. He was more like a calculated consolidator with aggression against spin. He gradually evolved.

 

[Devadwal]

Damn .we can't Play full 20 over.

3 over left but not batting left also .

What a waste

 

[Justcrazy]

He has learnt hitting six ability from yuvi and lara .

Credit has to be given to Abhishek himself , fearless batting.

 

[Justcrazy]

Shami is handy hitter

 

[Rana]

“One of the great T20 innings. Struggle to remember one better than that”. KP



How has he forgotten Babar’s 40 off 40 against USA?

 

[Bhaijaan]

Keep the strike Bapu.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are doing this when their best T20 batsman SKY is out of form. So that is all themore special

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Some serious pace tonight by Archer and Wood

155kph

 

[jnaveen1980]

Some serious pace tonight by Archer and Wood

155kph

Has to the be the fastest i have seen from any unit. Even Carse was quick

 

[DeadlyVenom]

This has been great entertainment from India but my advise is please don't try it too often. You cant go into a match without a couple of anchors in the line up. Sure it came off today but it might not always. Then what will you guys do?

It's like driving your car really fast without a seat belt. You can have a thrilling time but the consequences are severe if things go wrong.

Please apply the same approach to T20 cricket and play with seat belts on

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Has to the be the fastest i have seen from any unit. Even Carse was quick

Carse was bowling at 145kph

 

[jnaveen1980]

Carse was bowling at 145kph

this pitch helps pace bowlers a lot actually when you put effort. Mitchell Johnson was at times unplayable here even with good batting conditions

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Carse was bowling at 145kph

Even Overton hits early 140's and 3 of them have very high release points too.

In terms of sheer pace and bounce, England are 2 clases ahead of everyone else

 

[jnaveen1980]

England has nothing to lose. Series lost already. They have nothing to lose. THey can practice for ODIs

 

[Justcrazy]

To chase this target , Poms more than there batting , will need bad bowling by india and bad fielding also.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Even Overton hits early 140's and 3 of them have very high release points too.

In terms of sheer pace and bounce, England are 2 clases ahead of everyone else

I don't think one would have ever seen (including Probably west indies era) such a pacy bowling unit in India. Lot of heat

 

[Hellion]

Yes.

Teams also try harder and play their main teams.

Really? It doesn't look like that when I see Bangladesh play. Equally rubbish at all times

 

[jnaveen1980]

Buttler will thoroughly enjoy this pitch. Salt may come good finally. Also India is fielding a semi fit Shami who is not a good T20 bowler anyway.

 

[Devadwal]

15-20 runs shorts. Last 2 over wasted

 

[Justcrazy]

248 is the target for POMS !!!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Even Overton hits early 140's and 3 of them have very high release points too.

Yeahs that's exactly how it's going so far

 

[Rana]

15-20 runs shorts. Last 2 over wasted

Enough runs with Bishnoi and Varun

 

[jnaveen1980]

India has no pace unit here lol Unfit shami then pandya. That's it.

 

[Devadwal]

Enough runs with Bishnoi and Varun

No this is going to be very close game .england is going to smashed indian bowlers Today . This is the pitch where they will enjoy the batting .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Abhishek and Jaiswal may open if Sanju keeps failing. But i think they will back him as he is a six hitter. So is Jaiswal though

 

[Rana]

No this is going to be very close game .england is going to smashed indian bowlers Today . This is the pitch where they will enjoy the batting .

Let’s see

India are winning this I recon

 

[OldWarHorse]

India has no pace unit here lol Unfit shami then pandya. That's it.

Both will get carted

 

[jnaveen1980]

No this is going to be very close game .england is going to smashed indian bowlers Today . This is the pitch where they will enjoy the batting .

Indian fast bowling for this match is pitiful lol Unfit Shami and Hardik pandya

 

[Devadwal]

India has no pace unit here lol Unfit shami then pandya. That's it.

Are you forgetting Dubey aka Rana

 

[sweep_shot]

TEAM IPL couldn't finish well after the start they got.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Are you forgetting Dubey aka Rana

He ain't bowling here lol 6 sixes. I don't think Rana will survive here as well. Leg spinners will be a good option against England.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Actually this match may unlock England and get them ready for CT

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I don't think one would have ever seen (including Probably west indies era) such a pacy bowling unit in India. Lot of heat

TEAM IPL couldn't finish well after the start they got.

Unfortunately, they didn't have the luxury of facing Bangladeshi bowlers this time

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shami looks like he just got off the bed. His hair do and little it of fat. He looks like an uncle.

 

[Devadwal]

Sky and Samson are totally flopped in this series

 

[Vikram1989]

His batting style is suited to 20 20 . Indian selectors need to built separate teams to give players more clarity

jaiswal will be drafted in to odis too once mota bhai is done (hopefully after ct).in t20s once rohit and kohli are out, there are multiple options for every spot with lots of youngsters.almost everyone is going at others throat for a position. I can say almost 15 to 16 good players are vying for a spot in t20s.

In odis and tests, it will be interesting with few other names like sai sudarshan, padikkal, jurel etc will be popping up.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hope INdia doesn't carry "this" shami to CT.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yeahs that's exactly how it's going so far

Pace not necessarily quality. They made the same mistake at the World T20 last year.

Warner and Head destroyed Mark Wood.

They need to pick Saqib Mehmood

 

[Rana]

Why is Sunil Gavaskar allowed to do commentary for T20 matches?

He’s still living in the 80s

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hair of shami

 

[Devadwal]

First two ball and two boundry already .this is just trailor .

Now third ball six.

4 4 6

 

[OldWarHorse]

This will be a fun chase

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shami was near untouchable in 2023 world cup. Here he is shade of himself

 

[Devadwal]

Shami is finished so better to select any other pacer in the champion trophy .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shami is finished so better to select any other pacer in the champion trophy .

Yea.. He looks worse than Siraj

 

[sweep_shot]

17/0 (1 over).

England can win it.

 

[Rana]

Shami Hair like Archer

Bowl like Archer

 

[Vikram1989]

Hope INdia doesn't carry "this" shami to CT.

Rohit and gambhir are bunch of play safe guys.As bumrah won't be there, they will not hesitate to carry shami's corpse to ct

 

[Devadwal]

Yea.. He looks worse than Siraj

Shami was never a T20I bowler . He is more suited for ODI and test cricket but now he has no fitness at all .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit and gambhir are bunch of play safe guys.As bumrah won't be there, they will not hesitate to carry shami's corpse to ct

They might niggle out Shami and bring Siraj back who is also not a good choice.

 

[sweep_shot]

Harddick is keeping it tight.

 

[Devadwal]

17/0 (1 over).

England can win it.

Don't know about England but Bangladesh would have won this match .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shami was never a T20I bowler . He is more suited for ODI and test cricket but now he has no fitness at all .

Regardless of format he looks ridiculously short of match fitness. Looks laborious.

 

[emranabbas]

Abhishek Bachchan is too fast for T20 cricket; he should take notes from Babar and Rizwan on how to pace an innings.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Abhishek Bachchan is too fast for T20 cricket; he should take notes from Babar and Rizwan on how to pace an innings.

Yup Has to master the art of "finding the gaps" . I remember one babar fan telling sometime back Finding gaps for fours = hitting sixes

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shami outswinging delivery for DUckett

 

[Rana]

Yup Has to master the art of "finding the gaps" . I remember one babar fan telling sometime back Finding gaps for fours = hitting sixes

Turning 1s into 2s is an art too in the powerplay and death overs

 

[Rana]

Abhishek Bachchan is too fast for T20 cricket; he should take notes from Babar and Rizwan on how to pace an innings.

@Ahmed216 said exactly this about Saim

“He should learn from someone like Rizwan”

 

[Devadwal]

Duckett is not a T20 player. Stop this drama because he can play bazball in test cricket.

 

[RexRex]

Harddick is keeping it tight.

How old r u ?

 

[Vikram1989]

Turning 1s into 2s is an art too in the powerplay and death overs

And opting out of super overs too

 

[jnaveen1980]

LIttle bit of movemnet for Shami is keeping him from getting thrashed

 

[RexRex]

Why is Sunil Gavaskar allowed to do commentary for T20 matches?

He’s still living in the 80s

State of commentary in India is dire.

 

[emranabbas]

Yup Has to master the art of "finding the gaps" . I remember one babar fan telling sometime back Finding gaps for fours = hitting sixes

It’s something we may not be aware of, but RizBar fans certainly are never underestimate the power of rizbar fans.

 

[Rana]

And opting out of super overs too

Opting out in a way that your pads are not even on. A complete refusal to go out. That’s the art!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shami is used to get back into some sort of rhythm. But run up usually gives the idea how fit the bowler is. He is struggling to get to the crease.

 

[Rana]

No Arshdeep and now Salt back in his zone

 

[jnaveen1980]

India should try ABhishek sharma here.

 

[sweep_shot]

This is a dead rubber game. England are not playing their main team. India are the home team.

India played well today but that doesn't mean they are favorites for CT 2025. India is a mid-tier team in Test and borderline mid-tier in ODI.

It is one thing to dominate in Mickey Mouse T20 but it is another thing to dominate in Test/ODI.
