South Africa (227/3) thrash India (178 all out) by 49 runs in the 3rd T20I in Indore

[jattafridi]

Wow miller the killer ) )

 

[alone1213]

David Miller should have came in ahead of Tristan Stubbs.Tristan Stubbs killed the momentum with ordinary cricket.

 

[Smbhayi]

Catch taken by Siraj on rope, so another six..

 

[alone1213]

LOL 227 by South Africa. It's been fun to watch.

 

[Smbhayi]

And Chahar finished with 48

 

[jnaveen1980]

Be afraid very afraid. They have Klassen. Will be hard to win a battathon against South Africa. They have monsterous strikers all the way.

 

[Champ_Pal]

India only has 5 batsmen.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Just 5 overs of spin against SA. Bizarre tactic

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pitches in UAE were much much better and had something for both batsmen and bowlers.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Be afraid very afraid. They have Klassen. Will be hard to win a battathon against South Africa. They have monsterous strikers all the way.

What about Bavuma?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Just 5 overs of spin against SA. Bizarre tactic

May be it was a plan from Rohit to get rid of some useless bowlers like Harshal.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Rohit gone

 

[jnaveen1980]

Inside edge Rohit sharma

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Sky should have come instead of Shreyas here.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Birthday boy Pant facing Rabada

 

[jattafridi]

Really good bowling from Rabada

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Shreyas Pathan gone too

 

[Smbhayi]

So two keepers batting together..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What a shot by Karthik

 

[Smbhayi]

Very good shot first ball, 4 by Karthik..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

So two keepers batting together..

Good mini contest in a dead rubber.

 

[Ab Fan]

Shreyas continues getting exposed vs Australia and South Africa.

Samson should be in the team ahead of Iyer.

Where are the folks who said we play X number of keepers in the team so that is wrong? Who would you play then, Shreyas or Pandey,lol?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

444 by Karthik

 

[Ab Fan]

Too much for the great man to do now, Rishabh Pant

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

18/2 after 3 overs

 

[JaDed]

Shreyas Iyer , I can only lol at that selection over Hooda.

 

[Justcrazy]

India are behind here .

 

[JaDed]

Sky should have come instead of Shreyas here.

Naw I'm glad he got exposed, I recall when @SensibleIndianfan hyped him and even then i was like no way.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Another 444 by Karthik

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Shreyas Iyer , I can only lol at that selection over Hooda.

Hooda is injured

 

[Justcrazy]

Kartikh is playing shots , he has nothing to lose here

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Karthik taking all the responsibility on his own shoulders. Time for birthday boy Pant to share the burden and take India home.

 

[JaDed]

Hooda is injured

Ah my bad so we are taking Iyer to Aus?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Naw I'm glad he got exposed, I recall when @SensibleIndianfan hyped him and even then i was like no way.

Samson is much better.

 

[JaDed]

Samson is much better.

I thought so too but I have lost faith in the IPL superstars. I'm backing Gill, SKY, Jaiswal(attitude issues unfortunately) ,Sarfaraz for now.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Ah my bad so we are taking Iyer to Aus?

I don't think they have named a replacement for him yet.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Sachinesque 4 by Pant

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

666 by Pant

 

[Justcrazy]

SIXXXX

Pant hammered that

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Another 444 by Pant

 

[Justcrazy]

India need 189 runs in 92 balls.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

And 666 again

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pant gone after a cute cameo

 

[Smbhayi]

20 from that Ngidi over by Pant and he gone last ball..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pant should learn from Rizwan.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Pant cameo comes to an end

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What a six by Karthik

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

And a 444 by Karthik

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Karthik is gaining the confidence of TM it seems. Pant had got an opportunity to impress them but he failed once again.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

And another 666 by Karthik

 

[Smbhayi]

This is a very small ground.. previous six by Karthik gone to 2nd tier but only a 70 meter long.. 0,6,4,6 by Karthik so far in this over..

 

[alone1213]

Dinesh Karthik is much better than hack rishabh pant. He plays wonderful cricketing shots.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Perfect situation for Sky to unleash himself here. Would love to see Karthik and Sky chase this total.

 

[Smbhayi]

Good PP score despite losing 3 wicket.. but this is the last batting pair by the way..

 

[Mp812]

39 runs off the last 2 overs of the powerplay.

 

[Raja111]

Tail starts after sky!
Even after going with 6 bowlers, India conceded 230.
Really wasted a batting slot knowing the pitch is a highway! Dumb management!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Another six by Karthik

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

And another one Karthik is toying with South Africa here

 

[Smbhayi]

6 and another 6, Can Karthik score a hundred here?

 

[alone1213]

Whoa what a shot by Dinesh Karthik. He has very good stats but unfortunately age is not on his side.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Karthik gone now

 

[DeadlyVenom]

DK was looking good.

Ugly shot to get out.

But he played for the team and not for his 50 so can't criticise him too much.

 

[Smbhayi]

And Karthik clean bowled by poor timed switch reverse sweep

 

[alone1213]

Dinesh Karthik is much much better than hack rishabh pant. Unfortunately he got out. I was enjoying his knock.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Whoa what a shot by Dinesh Karthik. He has very good stats but unfortunately age is not on his side.

He should play all matches in the upcoming world cup and hang his boots after that.

 

[Smbhayi]

Tail starts after sky!
Even after going with 6 bowlers, India conceded 230.
Really wasted a batting slot knowing the pitch is a highway! Dumb management!

Not really, it's a dead rubber for India so they're giving everyone a chance..

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Indias tail looks too long.

Has it been like this all series?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Dinesh Karthik is much much better than hack rishabh pant. Unfortunately he got out. I was enjoying his knock.

Karthik has at least played many match winning knocks but it was a perfect opportunity for Pant to showcase his talent. He failed here. Team management knows who they should pick out of these two in the playing XI now. There is no way they are going to replace KL with Pant as an opener.

 

[alone1213]

He should play all matches in the upcoming world cup and hang his boots after that.

Yeah man! He should be given all the matches. He is much better than other wicket keeper aka hack rishabh pant.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What a shot by Sky

 

[jnaveen1980]

86 in 7.4 overs Very light weight batting unit. I don't think India is going to stop

 

[alone1213]

Is this guy suryakumar playing in a video game. He makes batting look so so easy.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pulled off a stunner. Only that could stop SKY. He creamed it

 

[alone1213]

I don't understand why would India pick up only 5 batsmen and 6 bowlers and yet they went for 227 runs. Very poor bowling effort from India.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India missed 3 simple chances

 

[jattafridi]

Stubbs what a catch

 

[Justcrazy]

India need 133 runs in 60 balls.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Harshal Patel scoring all the runs he conceeded in this match.

 

[sweep_shot]

Looks like South Africa are winning this one.

 

[alone1213]

Wayne Parnell always goes for plenty but he can bat though. He should play as an all rounder.
