Narrow escape for India [184/6] as they defeat Bangladesh [145/6] by 5 runs (DLS) in Group 2 clash

[dravidthewall]

7 overs 42/1

 

[Devadwal]

Stop crying lol and enjoy the KL show.

23(22) this is show according to you lol .

 

[GreenBee]

If KL can score here, anyone can. Need 180 to stay competitive.

 

[light]

I don't know about you guys but BD body language is looking too positive for my liking, lol. Taskin did a banger of a job

 

[Cover Drive Six]

I think Bhuvi and Arahdeep will get more swing on this pitch.

 

[BleedGreen]

Keep them to sub 140

 

[GreenBee]

I don't know about you guys but BD body language is looking too positive for my liking, lol. Taskin did a banger of a job

They inflate and deflate very fast. Could be totally different in 2 overs.

 

[Usergame]

Anyone who says this is correct strategy to bat in T20s in this day and age, is 10 years behind in his thinking.

Not in Australian conditions. Even England and NZ barely crossed 40 in 6 overs - in much better batting conditions.
It's all about having wickets in hand in the last 7-8 overs. As you will see again today- it's the correct strategy. 160 will win the majority of matches.

 

[emranabbas]

200+ looks possible

 

[hamzie]

C'mon Bangladesh do your brothers a favour

 

[AAli98]

This Raul guy has been waiting to feast on Bang/Zimb bowlers can secure his place for next 6 months !!

 

[SpiritOf1903]

India getting 190+

 

[BleedGreen]

Need wickets

 

[WengerOut]

And Ind will be facing taller Zimbo bowlers in Melbourne next.

 

[Usergame]

India

Have you watched any games in this tournament yet? 140 is par. 160 is a winning total

 

[GreenBee]

Need Surya here, this is just wasting deliveries against a bunch of pie chuckers.

 

[BleedGreen]

Anything over 150 and its Indias game

 

[Nikhil_cric]

C'mon Bangladesh do your brothers a favour

BD have a higher chance of qualification than Pakistan does ATM. They'll want to win for themselves first

 

[GreenBee]

India


Have you watched any games in this tournament yet? 140 is par. 160 is a winning total

Not when you have Bhuvi and Arshdeep opening the attack. Yes they have done well, but when trundlers get things wrong, they go really wrong. Need buffer to deal with such a scenario.

 

[BleedGreen]

They are hitting now

 

[Devadwal]

Free to again to kela

 

[MP2011]

I fear Rahul will exploit runs he'll score in this innings till next T20 WC.

 

[BleedGreen]

Need 2-3 quick wickets

 

[Smbhayi]

That's not a no ball .

 

[BleedGreen]

Have BD lost the plot or what

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

23(22) this is show according to you lol .

47*(29) how you doing?

 

[BleedGreen]

Pathetic bowling

 

[Cover Drive Six]

India's Powerplay scores this WC
31/3 vs Pak Melbourne
32/1 vs Ned Sydney
33/2 vs SA Perth
37/1 vs Ban Adelaide

 

[Smbhayi]

Wow Rahul is in the zone.. now it'll harder to stop him.

 

[gani999]

KL Rahul has finally found form against Bangladesh. I hope this continues from now. We can't have Kohli and Sky scoring all the time.

 

[MP2011]

Pathetic bowling

Can't be anything else since Rahul is scoring runs.

 

[gazza619]

Congrats India. They should win it from here.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Minnow basher done his job.

 

[Prayas1991]

50 and out now see him getting out on single digit in next 5 innings

 

[hamzie]

Thank god
Hatrick coming up

 

[Smbhayi]

Wow Rahul is in the zone.. now it'll harder to stop him.

Wow what a soft dismissal..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

KL gone after a half century. Well played today.

 

[MP2011]

Rahul gone after scoring exactly 50.

 

[gani999]

Rahul gone after scoring 50.

 

[Smbhayi]

SKY time.

 

[Mamoon]

KL Rahul putting a dagger through Pakistani fans’ hearts. Beautiful.

 

[BleedGreen]

Finally

 

[SpiritOf1903]

GAME OVER.

Shame

 

[Malik786]

That was not a no ball.

ICC=BCCI

 

[Mas-LFC]

Taskin bowled beautifully.

BD should have selected Ebadot, not Shoriful. Ebadot bowls similar areas as Taskin and his action would’ve suited this wicket plus is the fastest bowler in the side.

 

[Smbhayi]

World No. 1 t20i batsman come to the crease..

 

[Mas-LFC]

India will still post 170+
Boundaries small some sides. Wicket flattening out

 

[GreenBee]

Want 200 here.

 

[dravidthewall]

Minnow basher KL confirmed his place for next 20 T20 matches with this knock

 

[Ab Fan]

KL gone after a half century. Well played today.

Good knock. More is expected from him though.

Very stylish batsman but need to raise his standard to be deemed as effective too.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Well played KL. some fantastic shots. The usuals will jump up and down and call him minnow basher.
But what an absolute halwa of a delivery to get out to.

 

[Mainul]

Taskin bowled beautifully.

BD should have selected Ebadot, not Shoriful. Ebadot bowls similar areas as Taskin and his action would’ve suited this wicket plus is the fastest bowler in the side.

I agree

 

[Smbhayi]

Sky str in middle overs in this world cup (7-15) is 176.. second best is Glen Philip's 150... And yet he's overhyped/overrated player..

 

[Usergame]

Not when you have Bhuvi and Arshdeep opening the attack. Yes they have done well, but when trundlers get things wrong, they go really wrong. Need buffer to deal with such a scenario.

Bangladesh wouldn't even be able to chase 150 vs a bowling/fielding attack like pakistan so no hope vs a much superior and smarter indian bowling/fielding attack.

Also the conserve wickets strategy is proving perfect again. They will get a total 40 runs above par.
Baseball fans on this forum proven wrong again.

6 overs 35/0 is perfect way to start In Australian conditions

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

And Ind will be facing taller Zimbo bowlers in Melbourne next.

dont worry, we'll show them all corners of Melbourne

 

[Smbhayi]

First I thought fizz didn't reach it, it's a bad drop by him..

 

[Devadwal]

Edge but safe

 

[Mainul]

Shariful has been always expensive

 

[AAli98]

Deshis dropping catches galore.. bowling no balls sharma varma must have promised em some goodies after the match

 

[Mainul]

Bangladesh is already out of contention

 

[Devadwal]

So 8 over Left ,how Many runs india can score? 75

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Unless Bangladesh get wkts india are getting 190.

 

[Rana]

SuryaClass Yadav

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

What a phainta this is man. Bangladesh arent bothered.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

As compared to other indian batsmen, Sky is in a different league at the moment.

 

[WengerOut]

Hasan reminds me of Dhawal Kulkarni

 

[Smbhayi]

That's an incredible shot by Sky for a six..

 

[BleedGreen]

180-190 on the cards unless BD get quick wickets

 

[Smbhayi]

So 8 over Left ,how Many runs india can score? 75

100..

 

[Devadwal]

Surya out

 

[BleedGreen]

Finally

 

[Rana]

What a player man

It’s like his bat is being controlled by a PlayStation joystick. Small adjustments to wrist movement and he finds the gaps for the boundary

 

[Devadwal]

100..

Nope Surya gone max indian now can score 175

 

[Smbhayi]

So 8 over Left ,how Many runs india can score? 75

Will be happy with 70 now on..

 

[Mas-LFC]

Shakibs captaincy is mad at times. Should have kept least one over of Taskin for middle overs. He goes with the motion or what!

 

[WengerOut]

That is a wicket for Kohli. Subtract around 30 from projected score.

 

[Devadwal]

What a player man

It’s like his bat is being controlled by a PlayStation joystick. Small adjustments to wrist movement and he finds the gaps for the boundary

But but he is overrated player according to [MENTION=135038]Major[/MENTION] Sahab

 

[dravidthewall]

Bangla back in to this match with key wicket of surya

 

[ekpakistani]

Commie: "Hardik moves to 2"

 

[Smbhayi]

Nope Surya gone max indian now can score 175

I've been in jinx mode today.. Rahul gone after a couple of minutes when I said it'll be harder to get him out now..
