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

[BleedGreen]

Need heavy rain for the next 1 hour

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Feels nice abit of karma for india, they wont be laughing much now.

But they will be ok, rain will clear and favor ind team.

 

[Major]

COme on guys, keep doing the rain dance, the rain should not stop.....

I love you LITON DAS

 

[PakPremi]

If Bangladesh win today aided with rain then Saqlain was right Allah ki Marzi

 

[Inswing]

Rain please dont go away for now.

 

[Gullycricket]

The rain is predicted for another 45 minutes atleast. Looks bad for Ind

 

[Rana]

Don't worry anyways Pakistan is not going to im semi .its either Bangladesh or india .today win give them 6 point and if they win against Pakistan then all( pak ,india BD) have 6 point max and net rate is favorable for india

India NRR will take a massive hit on this loss

 

[Usman Chadda]

Don't worry anyways Pakistan is not going to im semi .its either Bangladesh or india .today win give them 6 point and if they win against Pakistan then all( pak ,india BD) have 6 point max and net rate is favorable for india

If Pakistan end up on 6 points, they will have a better NRR than India and Bangladesh.

Although I don’t see anything of the sort happening, as South Africa will destroy us tomorrow

 

[arif_2021]

Will this improve pakistans chances???

 

[Ucdkee]

Getting 92 wc vibes from this. Pakistan to win the wc. You heard it first here

Its not going to happen
If India lose today they will still go through on superior NRR even if Pak beats BD and SAF

 

[Shaddy86]

Das's inning deserves a win lol I hope Dravid and co will pack their bags and go. Backing DK once more was a poor idea. Congrats Bangladesh. Fantastic knock byLitton Das. India lacked the real pace bowler.

When Panth wasn't performing everyone was having a go at the management for not picking DK. This is similar to Haider Ali situatuon, we kept screaming for his inclusion in the Asia cup and how he would have made a huge differene. The guy on the bench is always the better player.

 

[ritzy_123]

If Pakistan end up on 6 points, they will have a better NRR than India and Bangladesh.

Fingers crossed

If it comes to the last game Pakistan will beat bangladesh

 

[Shaddy86]

It's gotta keep raining!!! I have zero confidence in Bangladesh winning any meaningful march. I see Litton getting out as soon as he gets back on. The match's gotta rain off and we're back in the game!!! Our last hope.

Hoping than Pakistan lose to BD

If Pakistan beats Bangladesh and South Africa (laughable suggestion in itself), they will have a better NRR than India. India’s NRR if they lose tonight (which I don’t see happening) will take a hit, while Pakistan’s will improve.

India has the advantage of knowing exactly what to do in their last game to better their NRR, which puts them in a good position despite this loss.

India will trash Netherlands

Zimbabwe. I expect India to thrash them yes.

 

[shamaan]

Zimbabwe. I expect India to thrash them yes.

Sorry yes.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

India will trash Netherlands

You mean zimbabwe

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Think it should be called off now, a wet outfield with poor drainage is a hazard to players safety. Call it off..

 

[pakpassfan]

Don't count out Zim..they have lost to Ned and will be Eager to go on a bang..they have nothing to lose

 

[hamzie]

agree
just look how zimbabwe players got injured in the rain when they played
human life is worth more than a silly 2 points
call it off
someone contact ICC

No chance they will call it off till atleast another half hour

 

[Manunited18]

Pakistan will not beat south africa.

 

[Sarwar89]

Bangladesh captain needs to be tough on this as bcci and umpires would want it to start asap

They did same to zimbabwe as well until their captain begged that it is world cup

 

[gazza619]

The umpires might need to take permission from Kohli & BCCI first.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

After 7 minutes they start to lose overs. Which I think might benefit Bangladesh slightly

 

[Mas-LFC]

Shanto is a slow starter but this is t20, cant get 20-30 balls to get set then hit out. What if u get set then get out and wasted 20-25balls with sr 105. Will put team in danger.

Gives me the vibes will be good for ODI’s

 

[MHN1293]

Even if it isn't called off we can still win if a lot of overs are reduced. Plus ashwin has all of his overs left

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

After loosing overs
169 in 18 overs
142 in 15 overs
122 in 13 overs
89 in 10 overs

 

[hamzie]

5 minutes till we lose overs
if it becomes a 9 over match, BD have already reached the target
iA itll keep raining

 

[Ahmed216]

Sir Vivian das .. I had full confidence in you…u have it in you to smash Indian trundlers on Adelaide wicket…keep going.
Pak should be ashamed of losing to these pretenders

By we I mean banglas

 

[Devadwal]

India NRR will take a massive hit on this loss

Not much as they lose only by 17 runs

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Congrats to Bd and PAK fans

[Mainul]

The rain is probably going to favour India if it stops now .Liton will loose his momentum,will get out and the marchpast of batsmen will begin. Apart from Afif ,I have zero confidence on others.

 

[IAJ]

Very smart, considering you will be greeted by an indian voice.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

One thing is for sure. Rain delays dont help set batsmen. I really hope it they do get back out there that Bangladesh still can play their shots and the same as before the rain came down

 

[PakPremi]

Wet outfield will mean ball will not race across.

 

[Devadwal]

If Pakistan end up on 6 points, they will have a better NRR than India and Bangladesh.

Although I don’t see anything of the sort happening, as South Africa will destroy us tomorrow

India will play last match against Zimbabwe so they exactly know how many runs to win or how many over left .so india can play accordingly .

 

[IAJ]

The rain is probably going to favour India if it stops now .Liton will loose his momentum,will get out and the marchpast of batsmen will begin. Apart from Afif ,I have zero confidence on others.

And all of the sudden the damp pitch may behave differently. A resume of play may benefit indians, but spinners may struggle with the grip.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Indian know that Bangladesh dont have much firepower so a few wkts will produce a collapse. But Shanto needs to support Liton. As atm Its only 1 way traffic

 

[MenInG]

Target for Bangladesh in overs are lost

19 overs: 177
17 overs: 160
15 overs: 142
12 overs: 112
10 overs: 89

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Covers being removed.

 

[Mainul]

ICC will desperate try so that match starts.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Wet outfield will mean ball will not race across.

Will also mean bowl getting wet which will result in the bowlers having issues gripping the bowl

 

[Mas-LFC]

The rain is probably going to favour India if it stops now .Liton will loose his momentum,will get out and the marchpast of batsmen will begin. Apart from Afif ,I have zero confidence on others.

I have zero confidence in Mosadek, Nurul, Yasir

 

[BleedGreen]

Keep rainibg

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan will not beat south africa.

If Pakistani lose tomorrow then Pakistan will not win against Bangladesh either to eliminate india .

 

[Runner Up]

covers are coming off

 

[Smbhayi]

Wet outfield will mean ball will not race across.

Wet outfield means tougher to bowl too .

 

[shamaan]

If Pakistani lose tomorrow then Pakistan will not win against Bangladesh either to eliminate india .

I don't mind that

 

[Mas-LFC]

covers are coming off

Wish it rained more longer

 

[PakLFC]

Still raining?

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

They have started to officially lose overs now.

 

[Hectic]

2 overs lost now. Keep doing the dance folks!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

I suppose a shortened game might help india ?

 

[Pakpak]

Target for Bangladesh in overs are lost

19 overs: 177
17 overs: 160
15 overs: 142
12 overs: 112
10 overs: 89

They wont make this at all

 

[Mas-LFC]

Shortened game helps India

 

[shamaan]

2 overs lost now. Keep doing the dance folks!

I reckon 3-4 overs will be lost

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Only if it rained for 30mins more. Could of had a 10 over game with Bangladesh need 23 to win of 3 overs

 

[pakpassfan]

Covers coming off..it will be easy win for India..liton will go within 5 mins of the match start

 

[BleedGreen]

[pakpassfan]

BD would still lose

 

[BleedGreen]

It is still drizzling but there is heavy wind.

 

[shamaan]

Still raining but covers are coming off ?

 

[Mas-LFC]

BD would still lose

Still will find ways to lose to India like the 2016 wc

 

[imshally81]

I suppose a shortened game might help india ?

Obviously... but wet ball will help BD

 

[pakpassfan]

Still raining but covers are coming off ?

ICC home team is playing..what do you expect

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

So if they dnt get on in next 30 mins I think they might lose around 7 overs. If they calculate 4 mins for 1 over

 

[hamzie]

Still raining but covers are coming off ?

this is BCCICC at work

 

[Manunited18]

Still raining but covers are coming off ?

How is that possible?

Surely can't start until rain completely stops

 

[shamaan]

How is that possible?

That's what happens when India play.

 

[Ahmed216]

Hopefully

I expect nothing less

100 % it's that fat umpire again

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

A Bangaldeshi win over India will open way for Pakistan.
If Pakistan manage to beat RSA and then Bangladesh means they will be on 6 points along with Bangladesh.
On the other hand, India will need to win against Zimbabwe to manage their 6 points.
Final results will be decided on NRR.
Last group match will be India vs Zimbabwe, so India will be having clear view of NRRs.
Pakistani needs two solid wins for semfinal birth.
