India beat Sri Lanka by 5 wickets and qualify for the final of Asia Cup 2016

[Syed1]

Hows the pitch behaving, is this target of 138 going to be tricky or walk-in-the-park?

 

[battler]

On Paper,Srilanka looks the weaest it has in 20 years...almost at UAE level but kudos to them,they always punch above their weight in ICC tourneys especially since 1996...they might be the new newzealand of the 90's...won't be surprised if they sneak in an upset here

Nah alone is enough for them.

 

[Indiafan]

16 actually, even Damaad ji contributes a lot

Damadji has thumped us many times actually

Pitch appears similar to the one used for BD vs SL game

 

[jusarrived]

2 wrongs don't make it right but the match was already done when kohli was given out...

It was done when Pak scored 84 .

Bhai it's India vs Sri lanka and India is chasing and kohli is there. Nuff said

 

[Acricketfan]

Beta Rohit(on 1st ball) and Kohli in 3rd over both against Amir will Plumb which were not given ...

Christ. Can people get anymore delusional?

Him Dhoni are the biggest Lankan slayers

Rohit is is either boom or bust so lets see

 

[battler]

Damadji has thumped us many times actually

Last match he contributed 2 wickets for us

 

[jusarrived]

This one is a new dude from Pakistan (last ones were Bangladesh/Srilanka)

Would still punch the bangla umpire lol

Had that kind of face .

 

[blue_champion]

Last match he contributed 2 wickets for us

ACtually him getting Khurram run out was against us

 

[Ankit007]

Christ. Can people get anymore delusional?

They can just win war of words. This could have happened, this did not happen etc etc

 

[street cricketer]

Lol do people still believe that Kohli lbw decision was a shocker?

 

[desi_launda]

ROhit

 

[BaaliSoda]

Had that kind of face .

He is the third ump for this game.

Rohit starts with a beautiful shot over point for 4

 

[blue_champion]

Lol do people still believe that Kohli lbw decision was a shocker?

Apparently it is as ridiculous as getting a thick edge to the keeper and being turned down

 

[Sidilicious]

Damadji has thumped us many times actually

not since he became a damaad

 

[blue_champion]

Have the pitches gotten easier to bat on?

 

[BaaliSoda]

Lol do people still believe that Kohli lbw decision was a shocker?

I have seen few PPers still discussing about Ajmal's decision (against Sachin) getting overturned by DRS in Mohali when it comes to marginal decisions that favors India. So this is nothing to be surprised at

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Was it against SL that Rohit scored 264?

 

[Ankit007]

They wont see what they did wrong. One close (not bad decision) and they think umpires are the one who lost them the game.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good start by India

 

[Ankit007]

Was it against SL that Rohit scored 264?

Aus

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[BaaliSoda]

Once again Dhawan goes cheaply

Kula strikes

Pitch is sticky

 

[desi_launda]

 

[JaDed]

Dhawan walking wicket could had played Rahane itself.

 

[blue_champion]

Was it against SL that Rohit scored 264?

Yes...209 vs Aus and 264 vs Srilanka

 

[Sidilicious]

Dhawan walking wicket could had played Rahane itself.

Nah. Dhawan has been good this year. Like our bowlers, he is an ICC event specialist

 

[blue_champion]

Dhawan

 

[BaaliSoda]

Rohit baal baal bache

 

[JaDed]

Almost gone lol Rohit looks absolutely lazy out there.

 

[JaDed]

Nah. Dhawan has been good this year. Like our bowlers, he is an ICC event specialist

Hope so

 

[blue_champion]

Nah. Dhawan has been good this year. Like our bowlers, he is an ICC event specialist

He is pretty poor in T20's

 

[BaaliSoda]

Pitch is gripping for SL's medium pacers, our batsmen gotta be watchful and play a little late.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Want India to win but want Kohli to fall under 17

 

[blue_champion]

Pak bowl Aamir...India opens with Bumrah....why don't Lanka bowl Chameera? Isn't he supposed to be their future spearhead

 

[carrom_ball]

just check dhawan's stats in t20i, he is pathetic in this format, people confuse his odi form with t20, he doesnt deserve to open in t20i

 

[battler]

Rameez Raja is literally drooling over kohli

 

[blue_champion]

Pitch is gripping for SL's medium pacers, our batsmen gotta be watchful and play a little late.

Need to survive the tricky powerplay...things might get better...Even the extremely talented Amir was not swinging as much in the 7th over,so with Lnka might just get a little more easier

 

[#GreenRoars]

Sharma gone

 

[Ankit007]

Oh man.. Rohit out.. Bring Yuvi now

 

[Mr Consistent]

sharma g

 

[LastManstanding]

Rohit is a FTB.

 

[battler]

Another wicket, looks like an upset is on the cards

 

[JaDed]

I absolutely detest Rohit.

 

[blue_champion]

Noooooo......Kula usually gets Rohit.....I think the 264 phainta neutralized it a bit but Kula usually has his number,just like Cronje or Razzaq vs SRT back in the day

 

[JibranAnsari]

Dammit india , better win this. Crucial for our chances

 

[Boxer]

lovely bowling by defending champions

 

[cricfan967]

It is much better for Pak's chances if India win, correct?

 

[blue_champion]

Rohit is a FTB.

Not really...give him a break....He is allowed to have an off day

 

[battler]

Now battle between [MENTION=139973]carrom_ball[/MENTION] and [MENTION=113824]Nikhil_cric[/MENTION] on which of the ftb's Raina or yuvi are better!

 

[Saeed]

Lets get rest of the 8 wickets.

 

[Boxer]

Raina yet to score a decent knock this series

 

[joly]

Make no mistake, we are playing very very poor cricket, gave atleast 10-12 runs on the field ,some inexplicable captaincy and now throwing away wickets at 120 kph dibbly dobblies waaaay outside off stump ,bad times ahead and this ain't a difficult wicket either

 

[#GreenRoars]

Peeeuuww, that hurts.

 

[LastManstanding]

Not really...give him a break....He is allowed to have an off day

His off days coincide with bowler friendly pitches.

 

[blue_champion]

Very crucial stuff......I think these trundlers have the ideal pace and swing skill for these conditions...As I said play out till 6 and then it will be cruise control

 

[#GreenRoars]

Now battle between [MENTION=139973]carrom_ball[/MENTION] and [MENTION=113824]Nikhil_cric[/MENTION] on which of the ftb's Raina or yuvi are better!

Both will score same runs today with same SR

 

[Boxer]

will need UV again to carry India home

 

[Saeed]

It would be great if Kohli's wicket falls right now.

 

[desi_launda]

Easy by Kohli

 

[BaaliSoda]

Need to survive the tricky powerplay...things might get better...Even the extremely talented Amir was not swinging as much in the 7th over,so with Lnka might just get a little more easier

Agreed. Kohli is the key here. Hope he continues his good form. Also its about time for Raina to make a meaningful contribution with bat.

 

[Ankit007]

Thats how you play swing.. [MENTION=43028]K[/MENTION]ohli

[#GreenRoars]

Chalo, 4 by Kohli. 13 more to go Kohli and then throw your wicket, thanks.

 

[Syed1]

Lets get rest of the 8 wickets.

Bhai jaan an Indian defeat is counter productive for our chances. India needs to win at all costs..

 

[blue_champion]

What an odd number ....did you bet or something?

 

[Saeed]

How does that work? If we win all the matches from now we should be good.

 

[JaDed]

Raina lol

 

[street cricketer]

Another Ramiz gem.

 

[Ankit007]

It would be great if Kohli's wicket falls right now.

You support India.. Bad for us.

Support Pak.. bad for Pak

India win is crucial for Pak

 

[desi_launda]

more by Kohli

 

[Saeed]

You support India.. Bad for us.

Support Pak.. bad for Pak

India win is crucial for Pak

Why would I care for Pakistan? I am a Sri Lankan Tamil.

 

[Saeed]

We are giving away too many runs. Wickets should keep falling.

 

[desi_launda]

Strange flick by Raina

 

[Syed1]

How does that work? If we win all the matches from now we should be good.

India already has two wins and will easily qualify by beating UAE in their last match (granted they lose this one) but will increase competition between Pak, BD and SL for last spot if SL win today. Otherwise its just BD and PAK for last spot

 

[Ankit007]

Why would I care for Pakistan? I am a Sri Lankan Tamil.

Oh great..

 

[desi_launda]

Classy by Kohli

 

[#GreenRoars]

Kohli hits a four

 

[BaaliSoda]

Masterclass batsmanship from kohli
