India [268/7] defeat West Indies [143] to win by a comfortable margin of 125 runs in the World Cup

[RainStopsPlay]

You are not winning jack against this Bowling attack. Thala simply scored way too many runs for this minnow batting unit.

 

[JaDed]

Although India losing today would mean they would come hard at England on Sunday as will almost be like a knockout game for both..

Do you see India playing? There is no concept of hard or easy, we have a plan we are just going to follow that even if we lose.. like 2015 Wc or 2017 CT, jazba junoon nahi hai boss anymore , its all method.

Playing like effing Netherlands of football.

 

[Mp812]

Dangerman Brathwaite on now. Get him out in next 5 overs and game is in bag 99%

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

ohh.....for yuvi striking them clean....in his prime....dhoni plonking his foot down and sending them 7 rows back....rain man for his electric fielding and those short arm jabs over midwicket........geez...what poverty...we'd do with even half of them nowadays.,...

wow...nostalgic for yuvi....those sizzler sixes....dhoni muscling them with the odd helicopter shot...raina had his days aswell....

 

[jagatk]

I hope chahal gives kohli the credit for that wicket.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Dangerman Brathwaite on now. Get him out in next 5 overs and game is in bag 99%

He plays such innings once in 3 years.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Will be waste of effort as Pakistan may loose to BD That saying " one minute up one minute down".... the one minute up happened with SA and NZ... now down part to kick in

It's actually the opposite.
"One minute down next minute up"
The down part has already happened, it's only up from here

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

...hmmm Shakib A h is doing a yuvi of 2011 innit? ...when do u guys play pak.....would be a cracker....

 

[JaDed]

Lol....u mean netherlands of 1970's total football....nah m8....i just think we have a tad more jussa jazba junoon than that....cometh the hour...our guys will step up.....cheers...

They are not stepping up, thats why random teams in momentum are defeating us in KO..
We need individual brilliance for KOs as well..

 

[Mahee]

this world cup will be a repeat of CT17

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What a catch Dhoni wow

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

They are not stepping up, thats why random teams in momentum are defeating us in KO..
We need individual brilliance for KOs as well..

I'd still back our guys to spark out with individual brilliance cometh the ko's....

I would say Spain in last decade is a more apt description than Netherlands as Netherlands were more style than substance in 70's

 

[Ronaldo7]

Talk nah dhoni haters...

 

[Deewana]

dhoni fans are going to go mad now
anyways game over now
i am off

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

It's actually the opposite.
"One minute down next minute up"
The down part has already happened, it's only up from here

i truly understand ur feelings as a pak fan mere pak bhai...good luck....

 

[jagatk]

Great catch from grandpa, credit where it's due.

 

[Mkumar825]

Jassi get his first

 

[Pk716]

Glimses of vintage dhoni. Hope he unleashes in semis and finals.

 

[JaDed]

Naw Spain won the Euro and WC, we are reaching last 4 just like Netherlands..

 

[Mp812]

That was a stunner from MS

He has not had the best of games behind the stumps today - given the most byes in a ODI game. But this is a catch of the top drawer.

 

[jagatk]

Talk nah dhoni haters...

A great catch doesn't undo the 9 byes and missed stumping.

 

[Mkumar825]

2 in 2

 

[jagatk]

Looks not out

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

One more wicket for Bumrah. Thanks to Dhoni for giving bumrah useful tips.

 

[jagatk]

Atlast a bit of review luck going our way.

 

[Deewana]

any appeal by india is out
batsman should just walk when india appeals

 

[Justcrazy]

WI team ahs been totally exposed in the WC here

 

[jagatk]

One more wicket for Bumrah. Thanks to Dhoni for giving bumrah useful tips.

Would this be the same bumrah who got his chance because of ipl?

 

[desi_launda]

Boom Boom Bumrah

 

[pakistani pride]

Pitches tailor made for India but would like to see how they will respond in the SF if they will have to chase 250 plus on such a track.

 

[dildilpak]

Big win for India coming up, should help with the NRR

 

[jnaveen1980]

Stop whining guys. They are bowling beautifully as a unit.

 

[narayanjan]

Offense wins you matches while defense

Player	Status	Runs	Balls	4s	6s	S/R
wins you championships. The best bowling attack team, India, is on course to win the World Cup. Unless another team bowls very well in the remaining games. [Maybe Australia and Starc] Player Overs Mdns Runs Wkts E/R Wd NB

 

[jnaveen1980]

Looks like Dhoni fans found their voice after that catch lol

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

if tailor made for india...why did;nt india make 450?

 

[desi_launda]

Bumrah has figures of 6-0-9-2

 

[Mkumar825]

any appeal by india is out
batsman should just walk when india appeals

Just like Rohit sharma

 

[jagatk]

Ok you could clearly see this was going down leg easily and way too high it’s not like the batsman is Parthiv Patel’s height drs is either flawed or the people making it doing somewthing with it

We chased 225 vs Saffers on a similar pitch. Go whine somewhere else.

 

[jiduguravindra]

The pitch which is playing today is used pitch that's the reason why ball is turning.
It's good toss to win.Even if wi win the toss, they don't have spinners to trouble Indians.

 

[PakLFC]

This one is done and dusted in India's favour. It is painful for any Cricket lover to see the once mighty West Indies making fool's of themselves here. Now I am thinking will India even try against England knowing that losing that one will nearly eliminate Pak?

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think that was out. Why didn't they claim

 

[jagatk]

That would be out if pandya claims it.

 

[desi_launda]

was that out?

 

[Sachin136]

Why would that try to eliminate Pakistan instead of England? If India face Pakistan in the semis, it's a free win.

 

[JaDed]

Yeah thats why Rohit got out, and we had sommany decisions

 

[troodon]

Pandya has some real long fingers. That was Out!

 

[Justcrazy]

Hetmeyer playing a lone hand here

[Mueez]

As an unbiased Pakistani fan India would like to face Pakistan in a knockout match more than England.

 

[jagatk]

They are falling like cards here.

 

[desi_launda]

112/8

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

India clearly has the best bowling attack

 

[MP2011]

Shani claims his 3rd.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Such a dominant performance with the ball by our team.

Feels good

 

[nosundries]

Do you think India intentionally break it's winning streak to eliminate Pakistan .. India would rather face Pakistan in the semis than England ..

 

[jnaveen1980]

If you add Bhuvi too that will be 5 genuine wicket taking options in any stage of the game.

 

[Nov15]

Good that India’s trying to bundle Windies out cheaply. NRR boost will come in handy if they lose all 3 against Eng, Ban & Lanka.

 

[Mkumar825]

Treat to watch india bowling nowsday

 

[Babbar]

Do you think India intentionally break it's winning streak to eliminate Pakistan .. India would rather face Pakistan in the semis than England ..

India will bring Pakistan in Semi that works for both countries!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Would this be the same bumrah who got his chance because of ipl?

This is the same Bumrah who gave credit to first class cricket for his development.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Do you think India intentionally break it's winning streak to eliminate Pakistan .. India would rather face Pakistan in the semis than England ..

No team in the right mind will strategically lose any game for political reasons. That too Kohli lol Kohli has too much love for Pakistan

 

[ak619]

Do you think India intentionally break it's winning streak to eliminate Pakistan .. India would rather face Pakistan in the semis than England ..

Beating Pakistan back to back would certainly be the preferred option for team India than the prospect of having to beat England back to back.

 

[JaDed]

Too bad Pakistan lost to this crap team

I hope you mean the Windies

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Shami should tak Cottrell's wkt and salute him.

 

[PakLFC]

Do you think India intentionally break it's winning streak to eliminate Pakistan .. India would rather face Pakistan in the semis than England ..

No I don't think so! Pak is now coming good that India will be fearful off. They will have the Champions Trophy thrashing in the back of their minds. I am thinking is India guaranteed a place in the semi's if they win today?

 

[jagatk]

This is the same Bumrah who gave credit to first class cricket for his development.

For tests not Odi's. He did not learn Yorkers bowling with his gujrat compatriots but from the best in the business from Lanka.

 

[jnaveen1980]

WI are inconsistent.

One day they play their best cricket while the next day they will play the worst cricket.

Although India is a much better team than West Indies I expected WI to fare much better than what they have shown today.

They are not used to leggies, chinaman bowlers with skill. THese are big grounds. Not 60 meter boundaries.

 

[Mkumar825]

India's best batsman walks when not out, allrounder does not appeal for a catch when taken cleanly.

India winning Fair Play at least.

 

[saeed5646]

India bowling is more exciting than their batting

 

[PakLFC]

Do you think India intentionally break it's winning streak to eliminate Pakistan .. India would rather face Pakistan in the semis than England ..

Don't bet on it! Pak on a good day is capable of defeating anyone including India. Yes India may take it easy against England playing a few sub's if they are through to the semi's after defeating the West Indies.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

all our matches are boring one sided except afghan one.
i guess the attitude matters most if you have to beat india.. or even come close to .. . fearless and on your face approach is necessary without carrying any baggage or any kind of extra pressure.

 

[jnaveen1980]

No I don't think so! Pak is now coming good that India will be fearful off. They will have the Champions Trophy thrashing in the back of their minds. I am thinking is India guaranteed a place in the semi's if they win today?

You keep bringing up CT final ignoring the bowling make up of India now. You were facing injured Ashwin and darteja. India even went with one seamer short unlike they did with preliminary games. Oh by the way Bumrah has fixed his noball issue now. Pak scored like 170 runs from spinners in CT final.

 

[Justcrazy]

Indian Team looking most balanced here among all teams.

 

[Mp812]

India clearly has the best bowling attack

Maybe not the best individually. But as a unit...best possibly.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

One on One India is ahead of Pakistan , probably if they play 10 games , India should win 7 - 8 of them. But the thing India would be worried about , which of those 2 - 3 games Pakistan may win, you never know when it is going to come.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Should have gone for Bumrah instead of Chahal, here
