India (97/2) defeat Ireland (96) by 8 wickets, starting their ICC T20 World Cup 2024 campaign with a comprehensive win

[mon858]

49/6 in 10

10 over 45/ 2 or 3 , you could even consider getting 110. But 10 overall lost 6 wickets now they have no chance. Very poor cricket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hardik is running through them. Seems like back of a length balls are more effective here.

How did Pakistan stuggle against them loll

 

[Human786]

49/7

 

[Croma]

OK, 7 down

 

[JattMaula]

This pitch was prepared in Adelaide.

ICCA CONPIRACI!

Is DUbe a pacer or spinner? If a pacer, let him loose on this pitch.

He is a pacer but bowls the speeds of Lala.

 

[Asad T]

Hardik is running through them. Seems like back of a length balls are more effective here.

For sure, most of the wickets taken between Lanka & South Africa were back of a length

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Awful pitch. Don't mind tough batting conditions like we saw early tournament in 2022 Australia but this NY pitch has shown extreme variable bounce both in the last match and in this game. Great way to advertise the game in North America.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I do no think any batsmen (SA, SL, Ireland.. ) have had any sense of timing. Even in the warm up game Pant and SKy were okay from India.Others didn't have good timing.

 

[Croma]

How did Pakistan stuggle against them loll

different playing conditions

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Will cricket USA be find by the ICC for this pitch that is fit for gardening?

 

[RamLakhan]

Ireland want to stop batting on this dangerous pitch and get out hitting...

 

[RamLakhan]

Will cricket USA be find by the ICC for this pitch that is fit for gardening?

ICC want to advertise cricket in associate nations... (USA is a new host!)

 

[jnaveen1980]

Will cricket USA be find by the ICC for this pitch that is fit for gardening?

You can't blame them. It is not their pitch. It is imported pitch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Probably NY should have prepared their own pitch here lol That would have been better than this drop-in pitch.

 

[RamLakhan]

And people were cursing IPL 2024 pitches... Now they are happy about this I guess!

 

[shah_1]

ICC really messed up this WC by hosting the WC in USA. It is like village cricket right now.

There is no interest at all in USA apart from desi people so whoever came up with this idea should be slapped all round.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

You can't blame them. It is not their pitch. It is imported pitch.

The Adelaide curator was confidently predicting a good pitch with runs on it.

[shortbread]

Drop in pitches get better with time.

 

[cricketmania22]

Never seen a worse pitch for an ICC tournament.

 

[jnaveen1980]

The Adelaide curator was confidently predicting a good pitch with runs on it.

May be. But you should have enough matches well before world cup. Not enough match on these pitches. Probably it will settle down after some time.

 

[shah_1]

The worst WC ever

 

[Croma]

11: 49-7

 

[cricketmania22]

https://twitter.com/x/status/1798355617687785904

Yea there was some confusion.

 

[Croma]

Axar is here

 

[jnaveen1980]

India against Pakistan can go with Jaiswal instead of Axar. That way INdian batting will be very long.

 

[Human786]

If Pandu has 13/3 in 3 , either he has discovered bowling form of life or IRE batted very poorly or 90 is par score on this deck . Tell me which 1 is it ?

 

[Croma]

simple caught and bowled 8 down

 

[AAli98]

Yea there was some confusion.

Was watching it the ref definitely said Ireland won toss & then changed his mind.

 

[Human786]

50/8

 

[jnaveen1980]

Let me take that back. Drop Jadeja and bring Axar in

Jaiswal
Rohit
Kohli
Samson
SKY
Dube
Hardik
Axar

That is 8 batsmen.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Yea there was some confusion.

Not the first time involving India

 

[Croma]

If Pandu has 13/3 in 3 , either he has discovered bowling form of life or IRE batted very poorly or 90 is par score on this deck . Tell me which 1 is it ?

crap pitch

 

[Champ_Pal]

Typical story unfolding for Indian team.

Bash minnows and fall into a lull of false security. Then they meet Australia or England or NZ in knockouts and lose badly.

 

[Champ_Pal]

If Pandu has 13/3 in 3 , either he has discovered bowling form of life or IRE batted very poorly or 90 is par score on this deck . Tell me which 1 is it ?

May be he is relieved that his divorce is settled.

 

[shortbread]

Was watching it the ref definitely said Ireland won toss & then changed his mind.

Can a member of management accompany Babar at the toss?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Same Ireland will challenge us.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Typical story unfolding for Indian team.

They obliteratd 10 teams in WC2023 as well lol Then they choked on a tricky pitch.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Let me take that back. Drop Jadeja and bring Axar in

Jaiswal
Rohit
Kohli
Samson
SKY
Dube
Hardik
Axar

That is 8 batsmen.

Replace Samson with Pant.

That is one good team.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Same Ireland will challenge us.

Where do you guys play them?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Replace Samson with Pant.

That is one good team.

oops. I knew i missed someone. Yea Pant in place of samson. It will be a very strong team.

 

[Croma]

Will we see Jadeja now? I hoped to see Bumrah finish his spell

 

[t_kaay]

This battering is going to do India's NRR a big favour, might make a difference in the end, especially with Pakistan playing the way they have been.

 

[Croma]

Pandya smashed by Delany

 

[AAli98]

Can a member of management accompany Babar at the toss?

Sharma usually throws the coin on the other side where the match ref can only reach.

 

[Devadwal]

2nd six of the inning and both against Hardik

 

[mominsaigol]

Same Ireland will challenge us.

Long time no see, where have you been?

 

[jnaveen1980]

People who paid 100 or 200 dollars will be absolutely cursing the pitch.

 

[Croma]

Good over so far for Ireland.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Josh little is smashing his ex-IPL Title winning captain.

 

[Croma]

Rohit is scaredy cat captain. WHy doesnt he finish Bumrah's overs>

 

[jnaveen1980]

May be the pitch is getting better? Not sure. Similar balls were harder to hit before

 

[Technics 1210]

Rohit is scaredy cat captain. WHy doesnt he finish Bumrah's overs>

Have to maximize the profits for broadcasters.

 

[JaDed]

Hate these pitches, glad we are not batting first.

 

[Human786]

Yuvi looks like a gangster ... best over this 4 IRE - Pandu pitela - 66/8 in 13

 

[Champ_Pal]

Irland should score at least 100 to have some hope.

India also needs some batting practice before Pakistan game.

 

[Croma]

Hardik has a good short ball. Rohit is supporting Hardik and trying to get him back in good form

 

[Champ_Pal]

Rohit is scaredy cat captain. WHy doesnt he finish Bumrah's overs>

Saving him for the 20th over.

 

[Rana]

You're suggesting we open with Azam Khan against India?

I’m suggesting you need to make sure you have those big boys in the side who have the extra power

 

[Human786]

Have to maximize the profits for broadcasters.

sad if that indeed is the case .... remember , in low scoring games , after fall of 7th wicket the innings finishes on a high not - suspicious

 

[Croma]

Nice reverse hoick for 4 off Jadeja.

Little is little by little adding to this miserable total.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Dube needs to bowl a couple of overs too. He cannot just play as a pure batsman.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India has a lot of test match players. Kohli, Rohit, Jadeja, Axar, Pant, Jaiswal. That will be handy on these kind of pitches.

 

[t_kaay]

India treating this as a warm up match now, might as well rotate the bowlers

 

[Croma]

Bring on Bumrah to finish off this innings with his yorkers. Why is Rohit dragging this game?

 

[Human786]

I’m suggesting you need to make sure you have those big boys in the side who have the extra power

fat aint muscle my bro.... 73/8 in 14

 

[Asad T]

India treating this as a warm up match now, might as well rotate the bowlers

I think they want to go for the kill which is the best way to do it. You never know, if a couple of games get rained out, then NRR could come into play. So better to go for the kill and give yourslef every advantage should NRR come into play.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India is experimenting needlessly. Just finish with Booms

 

[Asad T]

I’m suggesting you need to make sure you have those big boys in the side who have the extra power

And those big boys will drop catches too

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think pitch has settle down?

 

[Human786]

77/9

 

[Croma]

YORKED~ BOWLED!

 

[Human786]

And those big boys will drop catches too

BIG boys ki list touh batao ....

 

[Croma]

York him bro... Never seen Bumrah bowl back to back yorkers

 

[Asad T]

BIG boys ki list touh batao ....

There is only one big boy

 

[jnaveen1980]

So far Extras and Josh little have the highest score. 14

 

[Croma]

Need Arsh to supply some wides

 

[Croma]

There is only one big boy

Huge Boy.

This tournament has been bizarre thus far.

I've never seen so many sub-100 scores, and it's not just a USA thing, it's happening in the West Indies too. Three scores under 100 thus far and 5 under 120. Even chasing sides are losing wickets at a fairly quick rate in these small chases.

It would be one thing if it were just the associates, but SRL and SA had trouble too.
