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

[Smbhayi]

Sunny looks sad..

 

[BleedGreen]

Its still drizzling

 

[Manunited18]

Not looking good for india

 

[shamaan]

Its still drizzling

Apparently stopped according to BBC

 

[pakpassfan]

ICC trying every ploy in the books to get the match started

 

[pillionrider]

Pakistanis )

Don't you still need to win against South Africa and Bangladesh?

You still won't win the World Cup even with the '92 vibes

 

[Hectic]

151 target in 16 overs confirmed

 

[NeVerMind]

Match will restart at 9:50. Revised target is 151 in 16 overs

 

[oatmeal]

Cricinfo says 85 off 9 overs is the revised target. That shouldnt be too difficult with all 10 wickets in hand

 

[shamaan]

85 in 9 overs which is about fair

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

85 needed in 54 balls

 

[shamaan]

Don't you still need to win against South Africa and Bangladesh?

Aslong as India goes out then all good

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

New target made is harder for Bangladesh

 

[shamaan]

Apparently Shakib is complaining

 

[Mamoon]

Match to resume in 5 mins, excellent. Thankfully rain didn’t do much damage.

 

[MenInG]

Target for Bangladesh in overs are lost

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

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

New target made it harder for Bangladesh

 

[Protea Fan]

Very much gettable with 10 wickets but bangladesh batsmans wont handle this pressure i reckon

They will fall

 

[Mamoon]

151 in 16 overs, beautiful )

 

[alone1213]

Even if Pakistan lose against South Africa if India loses today.
I hope Pakistan don't win against Bangladesh.

 

[MenInG]

21:43 Local Time, 11:13 GMT, 16:43 IST: Kaushik with the confirmation: 9.50 restart with 16 overs and the target is 151.

 

[Hectic]

The only good thing is that the 5th bowler will have to bowl 33% of the remaining overs. India have wasted a lot of the death overs already.

 

[RainMan_]

Its still raining

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Advantage: India

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Apparently Shakib is complaining

Why is he complaining now? He didn't want to win the world cup anyway.

 

[shamaan]

Shakib definitely not happy

 

[bones]

Apparently Shakib is complaining

I would be too. For some reason it feels like the flying start they had has been negated slightly.

 

[shamaan]

Why is he complaining now? He didn't want to win the world cup anyway.

Atleast he's having his say unlike most teams.

 

[Asif321]

Harder but shorter and 10 wickets in hand . Might help BD also

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

India have actually benefitted from this rain delay. I hope the ball comes onto the bat samr as before

 

[RainMan_]

Pitch isn't ready for play yet.

 

[boomboomcheema]

4 overs deducted but only 34 runs less. Now if Bangladesh lose a wicket now, whole momentum will change.

 

[RainMan_]

Players r getting forced to play in wet muddy condition. I wonder why ?

 

[boomboomcheema]

Req rate still above 9..what benefit did they get for being 17 runs ahead. I don't understand. Very unfair..

 

[Rana]

Easy equation for Bang

 

[angrypathan]

Doubt play would have resumed in these conditions had India not been involved

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Liton slipped while taking a second run

 

[boomboomcheema]

Batsman slips not fair to keep them playing.

 

[hamzie]

shakib is complaining because players are slipping
bcci so desperate

 

[angrypathan]

And there’s evidence of why playing is unsafe

 

[Rana]

85 off 54 is light work these days with all 10 wickets in hand

 

[RainMan_]

See, Liton almost got injured.

So, pathetic from ICC.

 

[Smbhayi]

First ball and das slipped while trying to run 2nd..

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Hurt his hand

 

[boomboomcheema]

Umpires made sure the play is resumed in half ready conditions . Commercial interests influence these decisions.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Litton doing a Rizwan here

 

[Rana]

Huge wicket

 

[shamaan]

Slipped already

 

[RainMan_]

India should be declared winner.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Liton gone. Run out.

 

[Rana]

Litton doing a Rizwan here

It’s because there is no talent in his nation and he has accepted this is what must be done

 

[hamzie]

pathetic stuff from icc

 

[Inswing]

Damn that's the game. Main man gone

 

[Smbhayi]

Unlucky for Das..

 

[90MPH]

Congratulations to Mamoon and Indian fans.

Rain dance worked well for you guys

 

[RainMan_]

Hehe.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Slip again, this is not right..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

It seems Liton was running cautiously there

 

[RainMan_]

Pathetic from icc

 

[Protea Fan]

He slipped while going for the second

its a bit unfair to be frank

 

[Shaddy86]

Lol they started the match on soaking wet ground. Never seen anything like this in cricket.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Clearly outfield is not ready for play

 

[ekpakistani]

This is why I said cricket is becoming like WWE when India play. Clearly ground is not dry sufficiently but umpires decided to start anyways as India was behind.

 

[Mas-LFC]

There goes the match. This b£@£ shanto looks edgy whole innings runs liton out this khet player scores against Zimbabwe and associates!! Dodgy af idiot

 

[Mas-LFC]

Lol they started the match on soaking wet ground. Never seen anything like this in cricket.

ICC= Indian Cricket Council

 

[Major]

Is the ground dry? Shakib had issue

 

[Rana]

This is a road

Bangladesh should get these runs

 

[Sunny_majoka]

liton probably slipped while taking second run, not fair with bangladesh

 

[Major]

Pathetic from ICC and umpires. Match referee needs to step in here

 

[pakpassfan]

Will be a easy win for India now

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Litton is livid with Shanto and Umpire Erasmus..

 

[RainMan_]

I don't know why umpires were in such hurry to resume the match.

They coyld have waited for at least half an hour to let the pitch dry.

 

[90MPH]

Das slipped twice.

This is not the right conditions to play cricket.

 

[Rana]

Bangladesh are winning this

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

666 by Shanto

 

[Mas-LFC]

You can almost bet your mortgage on Bangladesh players brainfading, coming up with something in someways to lose a match

 

[hamzie]

Pathetic from ICC and umpires. Match referee needs to step in here

referee probably indian himself

 

[Shaddy86]

Pathetic from ICC and umpires. Match referee needs to step in here

He's also employed by the ICC. Hes part of the decision to start the match early. Anyway you can only get so far with favours from ICC, New Zealand / Eng / Aus are waiting for India.

 

[Rana]

Indian bowlers are looking nervous

 

[RainMan_]

No wonder why shakib was mad.
