India (267/6) defeat Australia (264) by 4 wickets to qualify for the final of ICC Champions Trophy 2025

[BouncerGuy]

SMith's strike rate is too slow.. Playing like Virat Kohli did in the ODI WC 2023 final

Yep he needs to speed up. 75 is not good

 

[jamie smith]

Aussies should easilyget 300+ from here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Probably this pitch helps fast bowlers more lol India made a mistake i think

 

[sweep_shot]

Great shot from Carey.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Rohit Sharma absolutely has to hit a century here tonight.

No more 40 from 20, 20 from 7 kind of knock please.

Need controlled aggression from skipper.

 

[jamie smith]

195/4 after 36 overs.

 

[mominsaigol]

Yep he needs to speed up. 75 is not good

Chill, he is not babar or Rizwan. A legend can do and play how he wishes. He knows what he's doing.

Yei bacha nahi hai that you critisize how he plays. Keep that aggression for Pakistani players, and not the goat of odi tournaments.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Probably this pitch helps fast bowlers more lol India made a mistake i think

Looks like.

All these years of watching cricket, i am quite convinced nobody reads pitch accurately.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

50 of the partnership....looking ominous....our guys body language isnot that gr8....cmon boys...

 

[jnaveen1980]

From here on India cannot do damage control without wickets. They had chances. Missed. They have to create again

 

[Asif321]

Aussies have played well .

 

[mominsaigol]

Rohit Sharma absolutely has to hit a century here tonight.

No more 40 from 20, 20 from 7 kind of knock please.

Need controlled aggression from skipper.

Feeling the pressure of the final boss?

Lol Pak batters played Pandya like he was Richard Hadlee or something.

Lol they treat him like he's McGrath and he doesn't even average a wicket per match. He is a mediocre bowler.

 

[PakPremi]

Pandya is pretty average bowler but somehow, Pak batters struggle against him...Mental block

Carey however is in good touch..

He is very useful bowler, often amongst wickets and rarely goes for too many(70+)

 

[sweep_shot]

SMith's strike rate is too slow.. Playing like Virat Kohli did in the ODI WC 2023 final

Pitch is not that easy to bat on.

He is playing an anchor role. It is allowing others to take risks.

 

[jamie smith]

Aus have the game in their pocket.
Ind isnt winning this.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lot of Axe cutting by SMith.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Controversial take,

I wont be surprised if Australia goes Hulk mode in last 5 overs and end up close to 330-340 something.

 

[followed]

Indians have already started crying. Hahaha
Don't worry my beloved India will chase any score here.
No need to be panicked.LOL

 

[Thanos]

SMith's strike rate is too slow.. Playing like Virat Kohli did in the ODI WC 2023 final

That's how you bat in ODIs unless it's a 350+ chase.
Smith has given a platform for 300+ now.

 

[RidiculousMan]

What's Shami's plan here?

 

[jnaveen1980]

They want to make the most of power play phase

 

[globetrotter]

Smith bowled

 

[Ahmed216]

Much better surface than what initially appeared.

 

[sweep_shot]

Smith is out. Got out to a full-toss.

 

[Croma]

Big WIcket... SMith throws it away

 

[Bhaijaan]

Out

Chachu gets Smith BOWLED

 

[jnaveen1980]

Smith's luck ends there

 

[BouncerGuy]

Chill, he is not babar or Rizwan. A legend can do and play how he wishes. He knows what he's doing.

Yei bacha nahi hai that you critisize how he plays. Keep that aggression for Pakistani players, and not the goat of odi tournaments.

gone...GOAT?

 

[jamie smith]

magic from shami.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Poor application from Smith. He needed to stick around for atleast another 5-6 overs

 

[PakPremi]

Chill, he is not babar or Rizwan. A legend can do and play how he wishes. He knows what he's doing.

Yei bacha nahi hai that you critisize how he plays. Keep that aggression for Pakistani players, and not the goat of odi tournaments.

Well this could be match losing inning if he does not start to accelerate now.

 

[globetrotter]

India have a great chance to bundle Aussies below 240

 

[RidiculousMan]

That's a Rizwan-esque dismissal.

 

[Devadwal]

Too late. Game is already over

 

[followed]

Lol indians have started dancing again. LOL
They look so much better when they are quiet.
It was pin drop silence when Travis head was smashing them.

 

[Ahmed216]

Smith should have looked to stay out there till 45th before launching. Carey was going at a good clip

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

magic from shami.

It was a full-toss

 

[Bhaijaan]

Mr ICC bro

Unc never gonna give up!

 

[Thanos]

Few overs from Shami or Pandya worth trying now.

Worked. Got Smith

 

[mominsaigol]

gone...GOAT?

It's all your fault. Not mine, you did this. You hurt my goat.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hopefully Maxwell gets a brainfade

 

[RidiculousMan]

Poor application from Smith. He needed to stick around for atleast another 5-6 overs

Probably the moment that turns a 300 target into 260.

 

[followed]

Smith got carried away but maxwell has a job to do here.

 

[Mas-LFC]

How did he miss that? Smith was actually slowing Aus down in the end. If it wasnt fot Carey the innings wasnt going anywhere.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Poor application from Smith. He needed to stick around for atleast another 5-6 overs

He was lucking his way from the start lol Just that he didn't get connect a lot of times. Ball missed the stumps.

 

[mominsaigol]

Australia gotta keep going now

 

[Rana]

What was that by Smith?

He was itching to get out to Shami

 

[Local.Dada]

Pandya is pretty average bowler but somehow, Pak batters struggle against him...Mental block

Carey however is in good touch..

that attitude is exactly why Pakistan struggles against him. They underestimate him. He has a killer short ball and can bowl 140 clicks and can swing the ball. He is not a part timer or a trundler.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Lol they treat him like he's McGrath and he doesn't even average a wicket per match. He is a mediocre bowler.

I disagree. I think he's a good bowler who can bowl consistent line and length. As a part of the attack he adds alot of value. But he ain't Hadlee or peak Botham.

 

[Croma]

Carey is the bog wicket here, Maxwell might take some time to get going

 

[BouncerGuy]

2 dangerman now on the crease,,, India needs another wicket here otherwise these 2 guys are gonna score atleast a 150 more here

 

[PakPremi]

Smith was struggling to get momentum througout his inning. Good wicket for Aussies to lose.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think SMith senses this pitch is a good batting pitch. Otherwise he wouldn't be playing like that

 

[Devadwal]

Maxwell and Carey are going to smashed our Trundlers

 

[RidiculousMan]

I don't think this is a 260 wicket. Looks a good 300 batting wicket.

 

[followed]

They have to bat sensibly and build a partnership but i don't think maxwell is gonna last long here.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Pakistani Brothers,

I will take your word here than biased defensive Bharatiya fans.

How much do you think we can defend here against Aussies and what's a winning total for Australia?

@mominsaigol @IAJ @Syed1 @Major @KingKhanWC @Rana @DeadlyVenom @Bhaag Viru Bhaag

Anything over 280 and Aus are favourites imo .

India need quick wickets here , 300 will be very tough to chase, Kohli won't Pakistan bowlers lobbing stuff at him.

 

[Ahmed216]

They need 80-90 more but going to be difficult it seems

 

[sweep_shot]

200 is up.

 

[Devadwal]

I think SMith senses this pitch is a good batting pitch. Otherwise he wouldn't be playing like that

No ,Smith was looking to maximise these last three-odd overs before an extra fielder can go back out.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Weyyyooo, well it’s the Big Show

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

It was a full-toss

well it still was aimed at base of off....SS was too arrogant and thought he's playing some off spinner on bondi beach...

 

[Croma]

Maxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxwelllllllllllllllllllllllll 6

 

[jnaveen1980]

This pitch looks like a batting beauty

 

[sweep_shot]

Maxwell is out. Disaster for Australia.

 

[Devadwal]

Nikal tulla

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Smith caused this dismissal

 

[Ahmed216]

Aussies have thrown it away

 

[Croma]

Axarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[jnaveen1980]

Maxridi you did it. Thank you

 

[BouncerGuy]

Maxi gone... now that is a big wicket..

 

[Bhaijaan]

OUT


Huge moment in the game

Axar gets Big Show bro

 

[jnaveen1980]

Come on give a small target to Kohli so that he can do the chase like he did at chepauk

 

[BlindingLight]

Congrats India for wining the icc champions trophy and stealing the final from the hosts

 

[IAJ]

Poor from Smith and then Maxwell. Now even 250 will be tough for them

 

[followed]

that attitude is exactly why Pakistan struggles against him. They underestimate him. He has a killer short ball and can bowl 140 clicks and can swing the ball. He is not a part timer or a trundler.

Lol he is literally bowling 130ks and he was bowling 120s against pakistan. No indian pacer has touched 140ks in this champions trophy apart from that harshit father of two rana a couple of times.

 

[Devadwal]

Carey is still there . He alone can smashed oir bowlers

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

gee whiz maxi.....sayonaraaaa.....
cmon get carey packing now.....go boyyzzzzz.!

 

[Local.Dada]

Rare good thinking
