India (256/4) overpower Zimbabwe (184/6) by 72 runs to keep their Semi-final hopes alive in T20 World Cup 2026

[CricVet]

Slot balls are sailing over the boundary

 

[RahulBose]

Why do you want that?

It can make bhakts very arrogant. It is better when India and Indian cricketers fail. It is for greater good. It is for greater peace.

1.5 billion humans in India.
Greater good would ideally mean India winning as that would be good for the largest number of people.

 

[Asif321]

Can Bharat beat WI score

 

[CricVet]

Full tullaybazi on now after getting some confidence LoL

 

[Asif321]

they were gonna lose anyway, but it might have been a bit closer had they made the right decision at the toss
signed a death warrant by bowling first

Yeah should have batted first in both games . Raza being overconfident

 

[RahulBose]

Zimson and Zimbishek shuro ho ghaye hain

Nice try....
Nothing beats Zimbabar.... the OG
Abhishek smoked NZ a few weeks back.

 

[Asif321]

Poor bowling by ngarva

 

[jnaveen1980]

Come on hit the straps guys. Still a bit of scratchinesss.

 

[shah9425]

India smashing already

 

[CricVet]

Awfully pathetic line in this over. No contest here

 

[jnaveen1980]

I have seen India in almost every match since 2024. This is not even 50% of their best. Still a little bit if mistiming. To take on WI they need to get to 80% atleast

 

[batandballbattle]

poor murzabani getting zero support

 

[batandballbattle]

their best chance to get that 300 everyone was talking about

 

[globetrotter]

India on flying start 80/1 in 6 overs

Abhishek Sharma on fire

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Can't miss your lines against Ishan. Nobody destroys those straight lines better. Gotta keep it wide and good length and hope for the best.

 

[sazz]

India should aim for 250. Nice powerplay so far.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

India has already won the match

 

[jnaveen1980]

One right hander teams are scared of bringing on off spinner. He is a spin killer. Going forward this will be the plan

 

[RidiculousMan]

Zimbabwe is in africa?

Yes

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pandya should come in next. 300 must not be out of sight.

 

[Rajdeep]

India need 220 more runs in 14 overs to reach 300.

Can they do it?

 

[Smbhayi]

India on course to 240..

 

[RehanG]

Why didn't they star with offie v Abhithek.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India needs Jaiswal or suryavanshi for negating this tactic . These two are not exactly great against off psin

 

[Devadwal]

Spinners are bowling well

 

[jnaveen1980]

Abhishek is not bad againts off spin. But he got into a rut. Once he finds rythm he will start doing better .

 

[Devadwal]

India needs Jaiswal or suryavanshi for negating this tactic . These two are not exactly great against off psin

Kishan and Abhishek both have problems facing off spinners.

No boundary in last two overs

 

[Rajdeep]

Why didn't they star with offie v Abhithek.

Because India started with Samson

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Off-spin is a definite weakness for India and the ironic thing is that they haven't even really faced any especially good off-spinner in this tournament so far.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Because India started with Samson

Samson is capable 25 run in one over/

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

95/1

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Brilliant fielding by Evans

 

[cogent]

why zimb winning toss against both west indiess and india and then elected to bowl first? You can't outbat them so on these tracksss best option was to bat first. The think tank sometimes boggles my mind of these professionals.

Heavy dew is expected

 

[Kianig89]

So India as expected are cruising

 

[Devadwal]

Off-spin is a definite weakness for India and the ironic thing is that they haven't even really faced any especially good off-spinner in this tournament so far.

Opening with Samson can solve this problem.

 

[RehanG]

dropped.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

lol they are going to kill this guy once he lands in Zimbabwe. 3 crucial dropped catches in two games from him

 

[RehanG]

Wish Aussies had made it, atleast there would be some match ups in the group

 

[jnaveen1980]

lol they are going to kill this guy once he lands in Zimbabwe. 3 crucial dropped catches in two games from him

This is a crucial catch for india not Zimbabwe lol They are gone already in this match.

 

[batandballbattle]

lol they are going to kill this guy once he lands in Zimbabwe. 3 crucial dropped catches in two games from him

3 drops in 2 games, that's ATG numbers there. Not even our boys can compete

 

[globetrotter]

Abhishek Sharma..... form is temporary, class is permanent

 

[Asif321]

What’s wrong with this guy - 3 catches dropped by same lad lol

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Opening with Samson can solve this problem.

How? Samson doesn't seem to cross the 20s and you can control the game through spin after the powerplay too.

 

[emranabbas]

AbhiZIMshek Besharma back in form

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Phir?

I really didn't know that. I always thought it's next to Venezuela. I am not much educated person just matric pass. Believe me

 

[Rajdeep]

50 for Abhishek

Yeah Amir, talk nah

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

120/1 after 10.3 overs

 

[jnaveen1980]

Abhishek lost his bat swing which is his strength after sickness. Slowly gettingi t back

 

[Katwalindian]

Zimbabwe just come to give 2 free points

 

[Devadwal]

How? Samson doesn't seem to cross the 20s and you can control the game through spin after the powerplay too.

Dube , sky , Pandya are good against off spinners. One bad game and people's are talking like india haven't played quality off spinners

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Yes boy, now go for big hundred

 

[Katwalindian]

Abhishek lost his bat swing which is his strength after sickness. Slowly gettingi t back

Zimbabwe has no plan against him...rest of them do plan to get him out.....

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Raza is celebrating as if it's 20/2 instead of 120/2

 

[cricket.mad]

I really didn't know that. I always thought it's next to Venezuela. I am not much educated person just matric pass. Believe me

What is Venezuela ..is it a pind on outskirts of Rawalpindi?

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Abhishek lost his bat swing which is his strength after sickness. Slowly gettingi t back

He is not like before, he has lost his rhythm.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

What is Venezuela ..is it a pind on outskirts of Rawalpindi?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Zimbabwe has no plan against him...rest of them do plan to get him out.....

They had plans all season against him SA, NZ, England, Australia. He countered them with ease. He lost a lot of power after sickness

 

[RidiculousMan]

Abhishek SR below 200!!!

 

[saabir]

India will qualify for semis. West Indies bowling not good in these pitches. Zimbabwe vs India is no contest on Indian grounds.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He is not like before, he has lost his rhythm.

Still not quiet the same. That bat swing arc is 360 degrees. I don't see it yet.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India needed a right hander up the order. That is where they messed it up.

 

[AAli98]

Bhudda gavaskar has found his voice again, he was about to have a stroke at the end of the SA match.

 

[Katwalindian]

India will qualify for semis. West Indies bowling not good in these pitches. Zimbabwe vs India is no contest on Indian grounds.

But westindies can chase

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

India needed a right hander up the order. That is where they messed it up.

Surya?

 

[Katwalindian]

Bhudda gavaskar has found his voice again, he was about to have a stroke at the end of the SA match.

will it boundriiii or will it be sixxxxx

 

[jnaveen1980]

Samson scored 2 centuries in SA. India should have played him against SA.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Nice to see Sharma scoring some runs today.

50 up

 

[RahulBose]

Bhudda gavaskar has found his voice again, he was about to have a stroke at the end of the SA match.

Not used to India losing a match, not like Wasim or Waqar - used to their team loosing all the time.

aadat nahi hai.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Surya?

Samson. On his day Samson can score like 20 runs in one over. Jaiswal is a hard sweep player. So even off spinner can't do much. Once they tried he scored 26 runs in first over off spin.

 

[Katwalindian]

India will qualify for semis. West Indies bowling not good in these pitches. Zimbabwe vs India is no contest on Indian grounds.

Westindies main five batsmen flop today and they still score 180

 

[Hitman]

I really didn't know that. I always thought it's next to Venezuela. I am not much educated person just matric pass. Believe me

Chodo yaaar! How does it matter? You don't have to be an intellectual or a Ph.D to enjoy cricket.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Dube , sky , Pandya are good against off spinners. One bad game and people's are talking like india haven't played quality off spinners

Not one bad game. They have gotten out to off-spinners every game. Even today

 

[Hellion]

India has already won the match

Lots of cricket left, you may still get a couple of moments to celebrate

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now Jos Buttler is due among the star openers Abhishek has hit the strap. Will Jos buttler hit the strap at the right time and produce one of those magical innings. He might do in India.

 

[Devadwal]

India will qualify for semis. West Indies bowling not good in these pitches. Zimbabwe vs India is no contest on Indian grounds.

India vs Westindies match is at Eden garden, Kolkata and Kolkata is westindies one of the favourite ground .

 

[Smbhayi]

They're dropping everyone's catches..

 

[pillionrider]

50 for Abhishek

Yeah Amir, talk nah

I watch that show often and Amir is pretty interesting to listen to, even through all his bitterness.

But him calling Sharma a slogger is nonsense. I think the recent dip in form has humbled Sharma a little and put a temporary hold on the pride in his reputation of 'boundaries within the first couple of deliveries' of his innings.

When you keep going after every ball, you end up looking like a slogger. Amir should have clarified the difference. Some random nobody like Shehzad's views don't matter unlike Amir, though it's funny to watch how he tries to talk like Afridi.

Amir has one prediction left - India not making it to the semis

 

[Asif321]

Seems they have problem adjusting to the ground

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not one bad game. They have gotten out to off-spinners every game. Even today

Yea.. they plug the two off side area and bowl into leg stump forcing them to play cross batted shot which led to downfall. Abhishek doesn't sweep or reverse sweep.
