India vs Pakistan | Match 22, World Cup | Manchester | June 16, 2019 | India innings

[boomboom6]

India will be aiming for 250+ which will be more then enough to win as Pak can't chase that in a high pressure match ... all on Amir to deliver.

 

[Itachi]

i wished india would have chased....

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

well, look at India. This idiot Kohli is not playing Shami who is a dangerous bowler. And we have a Kedhar Jadhav, who cant bat nor bowl for his life!!!

Our selection and choices are weirder than Pakistan.

Isn't Dhoni involved in selections? I thought he was the proxy captain in ODI's ! Or is it only when India is winning we give credit to MSD?

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Think 2 spinners is a response to India having 2 spinners.

Reactive mindset - trying to copy opponent rather than playing to your strengths. Worrying signs.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

 

[todfod 11]

Pakistani mgmt. lack brain cells.

 

[Markhor]

If your team isn't good enough, batting or bowling first won't make a difference.

 

[Enforcer]

Pathetic from virat. Why play two spinners when there is a rain forecast. Congratulations Pakistan. Streak is over!

 

[Azzurri]

Pakistani fans are so hopeless. Sore losers and ultimate definition of crybabies

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Isn’t bowling first better if it’s going to rain??

Better hope it rains then otherwise Pakistan's history of chasing in world cup games is diabolical.

 

[Markhor]

Should've played Haris instead of Malik.

 

[Varun]

I'm pumped! Let's roll.

 

[castortroy]

Watch the spray gun Hasan get spanked

 

[Zeshan547]

Khair enough of the necessary whining but it's show time guys, whats done is done now just back the boys and enjoy the occasion and hope for the best,
Let's bring it On!

 

[AFM]

Come on boys!

Let'a win this before the rain comes and get a huge boost NRR

Crowd seems 80% India

 

[shah_1]

Too many bits and pieces cricketer in Pakistan team

The pitch is dry also and will assist spin.Its a case of just keeping all bases covered.Its not like we havve dropped Butler for Imad.Asif was useless anyways

 

[WebGuru]

What if one of the 'raelu katta' prove IK wrong today

 

[Dr_Bassim]

 

[AdamM97]

ICC should’ve distributed the tickets equally to Pakistan and India. There’s clearly more Indians in Old Trafford.

 

[todfod 11]

It would be the worst India vs pak competition... ) wait for another 4 years.

 

[MRSN]

Playing Imad over Shaheen is a very defensive move and it might cost Pakistan. We already had Hafeez as a second spin option

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Aa jao paii mundyo pae jao tut ge.torh doh garoor India Ka destroy them

 

[Enforcer]

Rahul will play like a tailender for sure.

 

[AdamM97]

Playing Imad over Shaheen is a very defensive move and it might cost Pakistan. We already had Hafeez as a second spin option

Shaheen would be worse.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Sarfraz looks tense.

Kohli was looking nervous.

Both captains are feeling the heat.

 

[PakPremi]

I wanted to see four pacers vs Ruthless Indian Batting, two spinners Hardik might break Afridi’s record

You heard it from me first

Our Pacers are rubbish spinners would still end up better

 

[Mueez]

Pakistan Zindabad!

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

If we are playing two spinners, should have played Haris instead of Malik. The batting looks very light.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Rohit's not facing???

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not much grass.

 

[MRSN]

Sarfraz selections are always pathetic. When he should have picked spinners he played pacers and when he should ha e gone with pacers he plays spinners

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Pathetic from virat. Why play two spinners when there is a rain forecast. Congratulations Pakistan. Streak is over!

Even Pak is playing 2 and they are bowling first!

 

[Gullycricket]

Amir to Rohit.Nasser commentating

 

[AdamM97]

Mickey ”you can become a hero overnight” Arthur.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Hopefully the bowling is better than last time we won the toss and put opposition into bat when conditions were friendly for bowling.

 

[WebGuru]

Sarfraz and his body language in this WC

 

[MRSN]

Shaheen would be worse.

Shaheen can pick up wickets which Imad can't

 

[emranabbas]

What's sarfraz muttering in his mouth all the time?

 

[Sherazkhalid]

All depends on how the other opening bowler bowls.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Well played that, almost got through.

 

[RainStopsPlay]

It's KL's first match against Pak. Let's see if he can deliver today. Filling Dhawan's shoes is such a huge responsibility for any opener in the world.

 

[Amirforpresident]

What's sarfraz muttering in his mouth all the time?

he's just doing some dua whats the problem with that?

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Nothing for amir so far

 

[Mueez]

Came back in.


Rohit be aware

 

[Mkumar825]

Easy win for Pak .good toss win here

 

[big_gamer007]

First 6 overs are crucial don't need to lose a wicket

 

[Zeshan547]

good pace and line and length by Amir but no swing so far

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Ball is carrying nicely.

 

[castortroy]

Not much movement at all

 

[Ronaldo7]

What's sarfraz muttering in his mouth all the time?

He's just making dua. What's the problem?

 

[Amirforpresident]

Lets hope Hasan will bowl the same good lengths as Amir is doing and not some short wide crap

 

[Gullycricket]

Swing is here

 

[emranabbas]

he's just doing some dua whats the problem with that?

Mate did I say it's a problem??

 

[ExpressPacer]

No swing and Rahul being clever to not fish!

 

[Varun]

Rahul looks like he'll get out any ball.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Rohit scared of Amir and has decided not to start the innings this time.

 

[Green Patriot]

Sarfaraz praying like anything)

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Rahul is in no hurry. Leaving the ball alone.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I have Amir, Wahab, Rohit, Kohli, Pandya, Bumrah and Chahal in my fantasy team. Hope i get some good points

 

[Varun]

I predicted Amir to get Rohit (as usual), but looks like he'll get both openers out.

Just a matter of time.

 

[ExpressPacer]

I would bowl Imad Wasim next!

 

[castortroy]

Here comes the runs now with Hasan

 

[Mueez]

Excellent start.

 

[Abdullah719]

C'mon Hasan.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Hopefully Hasan Ali will back Amir and not bowl rubbish.

 

[IAJ]

Hassan, please no short and wide once, do not release the pressure

 

[castortroy]

Hasan isnt an opening bowler for me.

Way too erratic

 

[Madplayer]

No swing at all. 350 on cards. What a flat deck

 

[Leeon1994]

Nice strategy from Rohit Sharma to not face Amir in the first over

 

[Zeshan547]

He will either pitch it too full or too short,

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Alright everyone asking for Hassan to bowl new ball, your wish is granted.

 

[Gullycricket]

Maiden

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Not much movement so far. Looking like a belter wicket.

 

[Fahdi]

Too full from Hassan to start with I think. Just pull it back a tad

 

[Markhor]

Pakistan bowlers so far seem to have gotten the memo - pitch it up not bang it in short.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Wow, spoke too soon. That ball almost cut him in half.

 

[Madplayer]

:4 India on fire.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Rohit Sharma saved by luck as always.

 

[IMMY69]

So lucky
