India [285/7] beat Hong Kong [259/8] by 26 runs in the fourth match of the 2018 Asia Cup

[WhenSultansBowled]

K Jhadav is throwing the odd ball but maybe thats the tactic.

He must've realized that umpires will never call an Indian spinner be it Harbajan Ojha Ashwin or Jhadav

(Not watching the game just following score)

 

[Markhor]

Is this score real ?!

 

[Syed1]

Ok RRR at exactly 7 now... One of them needs to start taking chances

 

[JaDed]

They are leaving too much for end, would be hard to play under pressure in last 10 overs unless Indian bowlers bowl filth.

 

[Greenstorm]

is there any big hitter in HK??

Don't know about big hitters but there number 3 batsman is rated highly by Deano.

 

[Usman Chadda]

is there any big hitter in HK??

Babar Hayat is bit of a tullaybaaz. Quite possible he fires if India insists on bowling the likes of Thakur

 

[KingKhanWC]

Is this score real ?!

Yup but India are only having a bad day, no concerns about the GOAT team #Mamoon

 

[troodon]

Brilliant tactics from Dhoni. We are drying up runs and making the RRR climb past 7.

This is the value of Dhoni in the team. All hail the legend.

 

[HEYY]

I am just glad that the broadcasters are going to face losses for their terrible production and all the ads. Will also help Shastri get the boot.

 

[nextover666666]

Hong Kong need to continue to score runs, and maybe try to hit some boundaries, run rate is going up

 

[KingKhanWC]

Dropped )

 

[Usman Chadda]

India strangling HK now. This Rath lad needs to stop nudging and get the runs flowing from the other end too.

Change from qualifiers to champions coming soon.

Clear difference between a team that is working hard in these conditions and a team that has just arrived in UAE for a picnic.

Horrr dasss kiniya tarfeean chahdia tainu playing in back lol

He is expert at slowing up the the run rate, especially when he is batting =D

 

[nextover666666]

This is now the most balls bowled by India in the second innings (since Jan 2016) where they haven't taken a wicket yet

 

[MMHS]

Normally teams double the score from 30 overs with wickets in hand, but here HK might be too inexperienced to keep that tempo on a dying wicket.

 

[ExpressPacer]

What was Khaleels pace like?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Lucky boundary. 150 partnership brought up.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Afghanistan will now believe in Santa Claus. Thakur is such a giver!

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Normally teams double the score from 30 overs with wickets in hand, but here HK might be too inexperienced to keep that tempo on a dying wicket.

Even if they lose the phainta is epic from their openers!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Indian fans deserve this humiliation.

 

[Abhilash93]

Hopefully KL Rahul, Kohli, Pandya, Shami and Bumrah will replace these nobodies in the playing XI for the World Cup.

Also need Pant to come in for Dhoni, but that does not seem likely before 2019.

 

[nextover666666]

finally a boundary....need to attack thakur

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

They are leaving too much for end, would be hard to play under pressure in last 10 overs unless Indian bowlers bowl filth.

We have Shardul Thakur.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Good running between the wickets and Nizakat is consistently looking for boundaries now, good to see. They are not looking to take it smoothly and slowly, they want to get on with it.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Another four tucked away.

Thakur is so bad it's not funny.

 

[Rayyman]

Word on the street was India has one of the best bowling lineups in the world.

 

[battler]

This is Shardul thakur guy is utter tripe! Should be his last game in an Indian jersey.

 

[JattMaula]

Indian fans deserve this humiliation.

No we don't.

 

[troodon]

India has the richest board in the world but getting hammered by an associate nation.

How did this team manage to become the no 1 ?

By beating the likes of hopeless teams like BD.

 

[Syed1]

This Thakur guy isn't even gully mohallah level and I bet he goes for millions in the IPL

 

[taqi]

This Thakur boy helping HK

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Thakur toh gayo

 

[Mp812]

It is now a 20 20 game 4 over of each spinner left and 8 overs pace with 130 to get

 

[KingKhanWC]

Normally teams double the score from 30 overs with wickets in hand, but here HK might be too inexperienced to keep that tempo on a dying wicket.

2/3 big overs scoring over 10 and they are right in the mix to win this one. But yes you would expect them to self destruct although they do not fear this Indian bowling line up, why would anyone?

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Word on the street was India has one of the best bowling lineups in the world.

Aussies of 2000s and all that

 

[Arham_PakFan]

13 runs off the over.

129 required in 19 overs.

 

[KingKhanWC]

much needed for HK

 

[Syed1]

bari nazakat se zibah kar rahay hain India ko

 

[JaDed]

It's a poor performance,let's just accept it and move on.

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

fluke and bad day. I am learning new excuses daily

 

[Arham_PakFan]

No we don't.

Read between the lines bro.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Huge six by Anshuman. Great shot.

 

[Syed1]

Word on the street was India has one of the best bowling lineups in the world.

Best spin bowling duo in the world has bowled 12 overs for 0 wickets )

 

[gani999]

I wish India loses this, gets thrashed by Pakistan and exits the Asia cup like the Lankans.

Only then will our million dollar boys and their halfwitted coach get some wrong end of the stick. They badly need this.

Anything that results in Ravi S**er Shastri getting sent to the doghouse where he belongs has to be a good thing.

 

[troodon]

Why is Shami not picked in ODI’s ? He is one of the best LOI bowlers for India.

Ideally, it should be Shami/Bumrah/Kuldeep/Chahal/Pandya.

 

[Syed1]

Not good... one six and four dots

 

[MMHS]

2/3 big overs scoring over 10 and they are right in the mix to win this one. But yes you would expect them to self destruct although they do not fear this Indian bowling line up, why would anyone?

If Thakur bowls his full quota, you know ....

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

HK will not win, but so much respect for their performance. The Indians did not even discuss the possibility of HK win in their preview shows and now HK made them worry. Well Done HK.

 

[taqi]

By looking at this bad day was for HK against pakistan

 

[Plumb]

Man ooo Man why not just accept HK playing well and Ind getting spanking but rather fans are crying and giving illogical excuses....

 

[coy0607]

this is outrageous !

 

[JaDed]

What would be more humiliating than HK winning this?

HK winning this by 10 wickets

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Shastri is a meme. Guy gets paid vacation for a living

 

[TeamPak95]

So... does this mean India need to go full strength to beat Hong Kong emphatically ?

 

[Slim]

I wont say all because i know couple of decent, level headed indian fans.

But

"Some indian fans deserve this humiliation."

 

[BDfanforever]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] did I not tell you, if rest of world took cricket seriously all subcontinent teams ranking will be just like football?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Followed by a single. Requirement completed.

I want indi to lose to HK. Only then the TTF’s like Pandey, DK and oldies like MSD will be kicked out.

 

[KingKhanWC]

I want indi to lose to HK. Only then the TTF’s like Pandey, DK and oldies like MSD will be kicked out.

Doubt it, the blame will be on Rohit Sharma.

No need to panic for HK, keep going for another 10 overs.

 

[Syed1]

If India lose today they will come real hard tomorrow... so that is something to think about for us Pak fans

 

[Usman Chadda]

I sincerely apologize to Hong Kong for bashing them after the Pakistan game. They have come back with a bang and done very well here.

 

[Plumb]

Meanwhile HK closing on a 10 wickets win

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Direct hit referred to the 3rd umpire

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Maybe a part timer?

 

[Syed1]

HK should add 45 in the next 10, that will bring them to 210 off 43 overs, needing 76 in the last 7. Perfectly achievable.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Not out by a mile.

 

[Rayyman]

HK vs Pak: 116/10

HK vs Ind: 165/0

 

[JattMaula]

If India lose today they will come real hard tomorrow... so that is something to think about for us Pak fans

Now you get our plan. Don't tell anyone.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

If HK wins this one, it will be the biggest victory for a associate nation in my life.

Infact I have never seen HK playing before, that Cheema guy was from Canada and not HK. Are HK even ranked in odis?

 

[Plumb]

If India lose today they will come real hard tomorrow... so that is something to think about for us Pak fans

Yes I am really worried about that... Sharma ji may unleash himself...Now we have to play real hard tomorrow

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

No we don't.

Yes they do.

They could still escape but they do.

Corrupt and arrogant management.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

If India lose today they will come real hard tomorrow... so that is something to think about for us Pak fans

If that were to happen:
Pakistani fans will accept Indian superiority and we'd bash our team instead of delusions

 

[sam_ahm]

I actually cannot believe this... What the hell are we doing!? I understand Ireland, Zimbabwe or even Scotland ... But Hong Kong!!!??? Surely not.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

If HK wins this one, it will be the biggest victory for a associate nation in my life.

Infact I have never seen HK playing before, that Cheema guy was from Canada and not HK. Are HK even ranked in odis?

No they are unranked. Got ODI status for this tournament only

 

[Rayyman]

I'm scared of Pandya and Bumrah, they will come back with a vengeance tomorrow.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Poor Rohit
