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

[Devadwal]

Spinners are getting turn and grip . wow

 

[jnaveen1980]

Two at the crease has the lowest dot ball percentage since 2023.

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 61/2 (12 overs).

 

[jnaveen1980]

Spinners are getting turn and grip . wow

This is like that srilanka wicket now. India will eventually fold

 

[jnaveen1980]

Around 15 over mark ball will start doing tricks

 

[Asif321]

Comon Aussie want to see final in Lahore

 

[KingKhanWC]

The home crowd is becoming nervous, not much noise atm.

 

[sweep_shot]

Australia need to keep it tight. RRR is slowly reaching 6.

 

[kron]

Just to remind you all KL Rahul has never won a LOI tournament in his life at any level.

More interestingly I want to know why
Exactly Pakistani fans are obsessed with kohli ?
Makes zero sense

And no he isn’t Pakistani Punjabi or anythjng
He is Indian Punjabi

Is it the thrashings that have endeared him to Pakistan fans?

Also celebrating his century like morons lmao

What ? He is looked at like some long lost son lol

 

[kingusama92]

Turning out to be a decent game.

Balanced and could go either way from here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is called proactive captaincy. Rohit would have never done that.

 

[Kianig89]

Comparing this Pakistan team to Australian team like comparing Salma Hayek & Sonakshi Sinha

So better focus on the chase

 

[Thanos]

Wow so much pressure on Kohli now.

Gotta feel for him. People will say that's the job of no. 3 but our openers always throw him under the bus in crucial matches.

 

[Devadwal]

Excellent captaincy by Smith

 

[Bhaijaan]

Iyer showing some confidence against spin

 

[RidiculousMan]

Comparing this Pakistan team to Australian team like comparing Salma Hayek & Sonakshi Sinha

So better focus on the chase

I'm not sure what you mean.

 

[Ahmed216]

This is called proactive captaincy. Rohit would have never done that.

Keeping connolly the part timer on lol

 

[kron]

King kohliiiii is the best of the best

At?
Choking

 

[Kianig89]

India has alot of batting , Iceman Rahul then Pandya and then Sir.......nothing to worry

 

[Mas-LFC]

Anushka in the building. Kohli better get a ton again.

 

[Sachin fan]

Two at the crease has the lowest dot ball percentage since 2023.

Has Kohli lasted enough (except 1 or 2 innings) for that to matter?

 

[sweep_shot]

194 are needed from 216 balls.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Keep Kohli on strike, he wont look for a boundary until he gets to 50 or a rank long hop comes his way.

 

[Kianig89]

I'm not sure what you mean.

Some posters comparing Indian chase against Pakistan to today's game

 

[jnaveen1980]

Keeping connolly the part timer on lol

No that fielder infront of Kohli

 

[batandballbattle]

Connoly should get 1 more max

 

[adi_62941]

Aussies have by default/ builtin winning mentality. If they have to they will find a way

 

[KingKhanWC]

Aus spinners need to give it some flight, tempt them. Decent from Zampa but no real threat.

 

[Sachin fan]

Gotta feel for him. People will say that's the job of no. 3 but our openers always throw him under the bus in crucial matches.

Kohli is one of them who has been failing in crucial matches.

 

[Kianig89]

Kohli and Iyer both set now looking threatening

 

[Bhaijaan]

Zampa almost got Kohli lbw

 

[kron]

Zampa almost got Kohli lbw

He will soon. Cause? Kohli is washed and he sucks in pressure games

Whenever there is pressure bank on cool kohli to fail

 

[KingKhanWC]

Zampa almost got Kohli lbw

One thing Kohli is good at is knowing where is leg stump is, easily missing.

 

[ravisurya]

Kohli will try hjm best to get Iyer run out.

 

[sweep_shot]

Maybe Australia could've played another pacer here. Tanveer wasn't needed.

They still would've had 4 spinners --> Connolly, Zampa, Maxwell, and Head.

 

[Kianig89]

India are set now , Australia needs a wicket badly

 

[Ahmed216]

India are set now , Australia needs a wicket badly

A quick one will really put this game in balance. India ahead atm

 

[KingKhanWC]

Never seen a batsmen wiggle his bat up and down while facing like Shreyas, is this normal for him?

Poor ball, pulled with distain by Kohli, nice shot.

 

[OldWarHorse]

This two doing it easy. Good job so far

 

[KingKhanWC]

Harsha bogle still commentating, painful on the ears.

 

[Thanos]

Kohli is one of them who has been failing in crucial matches.

Guy stiched a crucial partnership in 2011 final and is top scorer of India's last two silverware.
Yes, he had fair share of not performing in a lot of crucial matches still has done better than our openers.

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 85/2 (17 overs).

180 are needed from 198 balls.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Australia are fading away. They need a breakthrough now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Oh this dude. I don't think i have seen him enough. How is he? Is he like warne?

 

[kron]

Powerful shot for a one by stick figure kohli

 

[Champ_Pal]

No pressure on these 2 batsmen. India needs to score another 75 runs before losing a wicket.

 

[kron]

Oh this dude. I don't think i have seen him enough. How is he? Is he like warne?

He is like shamsi

 

[jamie smith]

WTH I was supporting Aus not India.
See all of my comments in this thread.

Australia have won this. Final will be held in Pakistan. @Bhaag Viru Bhaag @Devadwal @jamie smith @Mamoon you deserve this humiliation. India have losers like KL Rahul who is a poor man's Kamran Ghulam.

 

[kron]

Tanveer went to school with my cousin

 

[sweep_shot]

Tanveer is bowling well. Keeping it tight.

 

[Bhaijaan]

This is the kind of passage of play when you need someone like Rizwan

 

[Asif321]

Couple of wickets needed quick

 

[jnaveen1980]

He is like shamsi

Shreyas Iyer made Shamsi feel like "why did i choose cricket as profession" with brutal assault. So that has to happen. Until then he is better than shamsi

 

[Mas-LFC]

So what is Sangha’s origin?

 

[Asif321]

This is the kind of passage of play when you need someone like Rizwan

For what . To put pressure on lower order ?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Both wickets gifted by India. One due to pressure. Other one recklessness

 

[Thanos]

This is the kind of passage of play when you need someone like Rizwan

No. You need someone like Kohli and Iyer only.

 

[jamie smith]

Looks like india is gonna win this.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Virat punches a double of the overthrow. Typical

 

[Champ_Pal]

So what is Sangha’s origin?

Looks Indian.

 

[globetrotter]

Indian duo batting beautiful…..first take past 150, then 200 and finally to 265

 

[sweep_shot]

For a second, I thought that was an edge.

I heard a noise.

 

[Thanos]

Kohli bhai bahar ki ball mat khelo

 

[pillionrider]

Listening to Rameez, I realized how little I missed listening to him.

 

[pillionrider]

For a second, I thought that was an edge.

I heard a noise.

It happens when the mind is all over the place.

 

[sweep_shot]

So what is Sangha’s origin?

Indian. Just checked.

From Wikipedia --> Tanveer's father, Joga Singh, hails from a village near Jalandhar, Punjab, India.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia is still in driver seat. Pitch will get lower and slower

 

[batandballbattle]

Looking very easy for India atm, Aus need a wicket pronto to make this interesting again

 

[Hellion]

So what is Sangha’s origin?

Not Bangladeshi . Would never have been good enough to make OZ team

 

[jamie smith]

We need a wicket asap.

 

[Bhaijaan]

93/2 after 19 overs

Time for drinks

This is still anyone’s game.

One wicket here and Australia comes back in front. Two wickets and they go all over.

For Bharat they need to keep this going for another 10 overs minimum. This partnership has to get us home. Don’t leave it for anyone.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Listening to Rameez, I realized how little I missed listening to him.

Imagine getting stuck in a lift with Rameez and Harsha.

Aus need to come up with a plan to stop the singles in the drinks break. Its not easy to hit over the top now.

 

[kron]

@jnaveen1980
Ben dwarshius is of Dutch descent and was born in kareela
Like kerala


Unrelated to what is mentioned above,
Aboriginals of Australia have a genetic makeup that comprises of Indian genes. So we can actually claim boland as one of our own

 

[jnaveen1980]

Imagine getting stuck in a lift with Rameez and Harsha.

You have not heard Ranjit Fernando i suppose lol

 

[kron]

So what is Sangha’s origin?

INDIAN what else lmao?

 

[pillionrider]

I once was in a lift with Maninder. This can't be worse than that.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am prepared for the loss as we have KL Rahul. He is the black magic for the opposition.

 

[sweep_shot]

Maxwell and Head should bowl a bit.

 

[kron]

For a second, I thought that was an edge.

I heard a noise.

Hallucination can do that. Slow down on them pills bro

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Guys please focus to the match instead
