South Africa (137/5) defeat India (133/9) to win the Group 2 clash by 5 wickets

[Devadwal]

16 dots out of 24 .just saying

 

[Mamoon]

Woohoooo.

Rohit gone.

 

[Smbhayi]

Rohit living dangerously here..

 

[Devadwal]

Gone .all thanks to rahul test innings

 

[dravidthewall]

So it's officially 19 over match.1 over reserved for Rahul

 

[Ahmed216]

Rohit and SKY have been our best batters since last World T20.

Extra heavy batting balance and still they are not going hard.

Really?
I think he's been struggling for a year now. He's finished according to me.

 

[Smbhayi]

Rohit living dangerously here..

And he's gone

 

[MP2011]

Rohit gone. All because of that Rahul guy.

 

[GreenBee]

The slogger departs.

 

[dravidthewall]

Rohit gone

 

[rhony]

Poor shot!! Was late in playing it

 

[emranabbas]

Babar OUT

 

[GreenBee]

Just happy that Kohi will walk in and we might see some proper Cricket shots now.

 

[Major]

Rohit sharma is gone. Here comes the goat

 

[dravidthewall]

King arrived

 

[Mamoon]

Time for the GOAT to have an off-day.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pakistan are extremely lucky not to face SA at Perth. Would gave been a one sided thrashing of epic proportions

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Really?
I think he's been struggling for a year now. He's finished according to me.

You're wrong, then.

 

[Ahmed216]

Rohit in his prime would have easily deposited that in to the stands

 

[Hextro]

Predictable Rohit gets out on the pull shot. If he can't be consistent in T20s at this stage of his career then he'll never be consistent.

 

[MP2011]

Does Sunil Shetty have any hold on BCCI?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Don't care about anything else but please smash phat a** Ngidi.

 

[JibranAnsari]

india just needs 150 to win. Their bowling is amazing.

 

[GreenBee]

I never bodyshame, but Rohit is in no physical shape to play elite sport.

 

[Mamoon]

26/2. Beautiful.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit is 2 feet outside playing that shot. Why was he outside

 

[Devadwal]

Hahahaha .what a catching practice

 

[dravidthewall]

End of Rahul worldcup journey. Welcome pant

 

[MP2011]

Thank God Rahul is gone.

 

[Smbhayi]

Rahul gone too..

 

[JibranAnsari]

why cant india play ishan kishan or prithvi shaw instead of kl rahul?

 

[ex-q-zit]

What a stupid shot by KL especially when a slip is there.

 

[GreenBee]

This guy literally played two maidens to settle down. KL needs a boot, please expose these losers more SA.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Another 9 off 12 for KL. Such consistency

 

[MP2011]

End of Rahul worldcup journey. Welcome pant

One can only hope.

 

[IMMY69]

Oh dear
India not looking good at all.

Early days but it seems like two best two sides from this group won't be going through to the semis.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rohit in his prime would have easily deposited that in to the stands

He was 2 feet outside the crease that was the problem

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

All depends on Sky now

 

[ex-q-zit]

Inetersting to see how SKY will go from here.

 

[rhony]

Good riddance!! Pant needs to come in vs BD and Zim. Enough chances for Rahul

 

[Devadwal]

Kuch logo ke underground hone ka time aa gya

 

[Smbhayi]

Time for Susriya Kumar to come

Who is Susriya? Hope he's not an overhyped/overrated player..!

 

[GreenBee]

why cant india play ishan kishan or prithvi shaw instead of kl Rahul?

Or Rishab Pant.

KL, Rohit etc are the mafia in Indian side now, untouchable.

 

[hamzie]

these openers are worse than ours

 

[fight_club]

Pakistan in big trouble as Rahul goes

 

[Ahmed216]

Real test for SKY. Tall fast bowlers in Perth. This is not a Rajkot belter with 60m boundaries

 

[MP2011]

why cant india play ishan kishan or prithvi shaw instead of kl rahul?

Or Gill. Each one of them will be 100 times better than the loser

 

[Smbhayi]

What a delivery that is by Notrtje, beats everyone..

 

[Major]

Man how does virat pick up the short delivries to play on front foot

 

[Afhan Ali]

Bavuma will save India

 

[shah_1]

I think SA are favourites to win this match.

Quality team all round except bhuvuma

 

[Devadwal]

Hope pant play next game . otherwise we will lose against Bangladesh

 

[Mamoon]

Pakistani fans have called SKY overrated. It would be hilarious to see their reaction if SKY’s saves their garbage team from crashing out in the group stage.

 

[Major]

Who is Susriya? Hope he's not an overhyped/overrated player..!

Exactly him.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

PP batting is tough this year especially at Perth. Better to start off steady and explode at the death. KL can neither survive to do that nor go hard from the get go.

There is zero downside to getting Pant in at this point.

 

[JibranAnsari]

if they had olivier on this pitch , it would hell.

 

[Heisenberg111]

Minnow basher Suryakumar Yadav in.

[Afhan Ali]

Pakistanis are praying for India but how they will face Nortje and ngidi

 

[Major]

[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION] haan je? 33/2 in pp

But oh its india so its justified, had it been pakistan you would had critisized

 

[Mamoon]

Kohli is a genius. He has already calculated how many runs India should be getting each over from this point and how to get those runs.

Hopefully he will fail to execute it for once.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

I guess Rishabh will open in place of KL in next game. Need LH in top order.
big mistake not to select bishnoi especially when you knew that Jads was not going to make it.
Would be hard to hit him on big Aus grounds.
Good oppurtunity for Deepak and Dino today - if they get the chances. Nortje meanwhile cranking it up...woo hoo.

 

[GreenBee]

Not a lot of people are talking about him, but India's best hope in this match might be Bhuvi finding swing. If he doesn't, SA will chase any total in 18 overs.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Pakistanis are praying for India but how they will face Nortje and ngidi

55 ao

 

[Rana]

Is that only allowed for Rizwam?

Yes because he isn’t overrated apparently

 

[Major]

Goat hits a 4

 

[hamzie]

Pakistanis are praying for India but how they will face Nortje and ngidi

we will verse them in sydney
bit more manageable
still not easy

 

[IMMY69]

Classy cover drive from Kohli

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

According to experts here, opening is easy in T20s.

 

[rhony]

Nortje smoking the ball. You can see the fumes!!!

 

[Afhan Ali]

Pakistani fans have called SKY overrated. It would be hilarious to see their reaction if SKY’s saves their garbage team from crashing out in the group stage.

Who you will support if England and Pakistan exit in group stage?

 

[GreenBee]

That shot, omg. :

 

[dravidthewall]

King in good touch. Only hope for Pakistan

 

[MP2011]

What a cover drive from Kohli!

 

[Smbhayi]

First four by Kohli .

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

2 back to back boundaries by Kohli

 

[Devadwal]

Viru Bhai sahab underground ho gye rahul ki performance dekh ke

 

[Mamoon]

Who you will support if England and Pakistan exit in group stage?

India.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Kholi needs to play until 18th over

 

[Major]

What a beautiful player kohli is
