What's new

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

Idiot of highest orders. Single mil re the easily kya jarurat thi.

Now australia is win the game easily.
 
OUT

Iyer gone

Zampa the assassin cleans him up.

It could have been 2 out in 3 deliveries.

This is not over yet.

Big moment for Australia, they’re right back in the game with this.
 
I would send Rahul in.

Send proper batters and leave no excuse for Rahul in the end
 
It’s basically a t20 game

131 in 142

If you can’t finish this then I don’t know what to say lmao
 
I would have sent proper batsman here.

Too much confidence being shown in Bapu, sending him ahead of KL
 
They could have promoted Jadeja to no 5. Two experienced batsmen needed at this time.
 
They trust Axar as a batsman these days. He has shown enough to play as a pure abtsman. His bowling is a bonus.

No doubt.
But today specifically i would have preferred to send Rahul first. We need a full time batsman here.

Guess the idea is Bapu gonna swing it maybe
 
Axar Patel looks so assured at the crease, like its difficult to get him out..
 
Bapu swings it again. Gets 2.

Yup, that seems to be the idea.

Bapu gonna swing it
 
Watch out for the slog sweep from Bapu

Fielder will be waiting too
 
Would've liked if Iyer got out when required were under 100.
Need 65-70 run partnership now for this wicket.
 
Zampa holds all the keys for Australia i think.

No one else looking threatening
 
Another wild swing from Bapu

Playing with fire 🔥

The message to him seems clear. Get us quick 20-30 here.

Bapu has come on with the license to hit in his pocket.
 
We play 50 overs we winning this.

It’s all about wickets from Australia’s pov.
 
aus haven't really groomed a white ball spinner apart from zampa
maxwell was a better part timer in the 23 WC but he's not always going to come off
 
Bapu bit cautious in this over.

Probably Virat had a word with him.
 
Look at number 3 kohli batting with good sr. smith was batting too slow esp post his 50. Wasted a dozen too many. It was Carey the one who added much needed impetus
 
Axar looks a hack but confident against spin. This is where Aus need Starc or Cummins to clean him up.

So true.
No one here to bowl bouncers at him, im surprised.

Imagine Bapu coming in to bat at this moment against 90s Pakistan
