[Justcrazy]

158

9 balls left

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

It seems someone will lock himself up in his basement now.

 

[Ahmed216]

Pant should be given a break from T20s

 

[Hextro]

Pant really loves to hack.

 

[Villager6964]

Was that 3rd umpire from Pakistan?

No 2 are from Afghanistan.

 

[MRSN]

Did Pant even know there is only 4 fielders outside circle

Off side was empty

 

[MP2011]

He's Afghani

Still a poor decision.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

There is no Jadeja to take the blame today.

 

[Justcrazy]

India has the bowling to defend this.

 

[IAJ]

Have India better bowling attack than Afghanistan?

 

[Yati]

Yes

All 3 of them.

Only Ahsan Raza is Pakistani. The other two are from Afghanistan according to cricinfo scorecard.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

IPL contract coming Madhushanka's way.

 

[Rana]

No only Ahsan Raza is from Pakistan...other two are Afghans

The guy talking to the SL coach was definitely Pakistani

 

[Ahmed216]

I think 170 is Par on this pitch.

 

[MRSN]

There is no Jadeja to take the blame today.

Jadeja is the X factor player for India. Without him India has to work a lot harder to win. rate him very highly.

 

[Villager6964]

Dilshan madushanka has been very impressive today.
He can serve srilanka for long time.
Srilanka should manage him well.

 

[Smbhayi]

Excellent over by that guy Madushanka..

 

[Rana]

IPL contract coming Madhushanka's way.

No bro they are reserved for SENA players like Curran

 

[Ashmal]

Still a poor decision.

Yeah...harsh call

 

[MP2011]

Ashwin looks so much better with bat than that Hooda guy.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Jadeja is the X factor player for India. Without him India has to work a lot harder to win. rate him very highly.

But for our fans Pant is the X factor player. He has failed in every important LOI match in the last few years and everytime the blame was put on Jadeja/Dhoni.

 

[Ashmal]

The guy talking to the SL coach was definitely Pakistani

He's the 4th ump...

 

[Rana]

Very very poor turn out for India in this Asia cup

 

[Nasty Naz]

Has a single team avoided penalty overs this tournament?

Such a lame gimmicky rule for bowlers to get bashed even more. I get that they want the games/innings to end on time but if everyone is going over it, it means they haven't set the time accordingly.

 

[Smbhayi]

And Bhuvi too gone..

 

[ha5is12]

Srilanka with all the momentum going into the second innings. India in trouble

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Yeh bhi din aane thay Lanka ke players ghoor rahe hai

 

[Rana]

India have fallen short here. The most they can get is 182

 

[Villager6964]

Why don't India realise that rishabh pant is not a limited overs batsman.
He averages 23 after 56 matches in t20is.
He is good for that low level IPL.

 

[Smbhayi]

Off side was empty

Thart make it even horrible shot by him.. and he drag that ball from off side..

 

[Ashmal]

True....specially in this hot weather.

There should be some allowance for that.

 

[Waleed93]

Hooda has been a huge let down after all the hype from some posters claiming that he was a better T20 batsman than Babar.

I agree, it's a dumb rule.

 

[Villager6964]

I think Indian trundlers will do well on this pitch.

 

[Ashmal]

Without Rohit's inngs...India would've struggled to reach 140 here

Poor batting effort

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

India can win this because Ashwin is in the team.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What a six by Ashwin

 

[Smbhayi]

Shot ashwin.. 6

 

[Ashmal]

Crucial runs by Ashwin

 

[Smbhayi]

Hooda has been a huge let down after all the hype from some posters claiming that he was a better T20 batsman than Babar.

I didn't see anyone said that..

 

[Ahmed216]

What? When? Who???

 

[Smbhayi]

Catch dropped by Hasaranga and ran two..

 

[Justcrazy]

174 is the target

 

[shariqnoor]

Will rate India as favorites. 175 is still a big target anywhere in the world.

 

[NeVerMind]

Hasaranga does a Fakhar at the end by dropping the catch and conceding runs

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

I didn't see anyone said that..

Only [MENTION=139595]Ab Fan[/MENTION] can say these things here.

 

[Smbhayi]

Good cameo by Ashwin anyway..

 

[Rana]

Indian’s don’t look too confident

 

[sweep_shot]

India have done okay. But, this is a par score. SL should chase it down.

 

[Rana]

Would be surprised if Sri Lanka lose this

 

[Ashmal]

175 is pretty decent score in the end....pitch is slower than last game

Won't be easy for SL

 

[Ab Fan]

Enough runs on the board. Good knock by Rohit and vital cameos by Pant, Pandya and Ashwin.

 

[MenInG]

 

[Pakhs]

Its a decent score despite a stuttering innings. Over to bowlers now.

 

[IAJ]

For the first time, I don't even know one of the SL players lol

 

[Villager6964]

This pitch is tailor made for Indian trundlers

 

[daytrader]

Runs on the board and enough to defend. If India holds on to catches, they should win this easily

 

[Ab Fan]

The usual routine oriented approach from India.

When India lost two wickets early, they should have sent Deepak Hooda at 4 and keep the big hitters- SKY, Pant and Pandya are 5,6 and 7. Hooda would have played a cameo with bat and released some pressure allowing SKY to play his natural game.

Ultimately, Pandya's bowling will decide the fate of this game. His bouncers will not be easy for SL batsman to hit on this pitch as it is holding a bit.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

For the first time, I don't even know one of the SL players lol

Don't worry. You are not alone.

 

[Ab Fan]

Wasim openly saying, I am backing the Sri Lankans.

So now you want Hooda at 4?

 

[Rana]

It’s not like Gambhir has been neutral throughout

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Having seen sl chase down 180 plus vs Afghanistan and Being on the receiving end after setting 180 plus against Pakistan . India would've liked sumthing around 190. But with ashwin in the team today and also The pitch being slightly slower than Sunday I think 175 keeps india in the game. If india take regular wkts they should win the game. But if the game goes down to last over sl will win

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Bnana swing, loved it

 

[Villager6964]

Bhuvneshwar the trundler Kumar so far so good.
Perfect pitch for him and the other trundlers as well.

Deepak Hooda- Babar Azam
SKY- AB devilliers
Pant- Gilchrist

All would have destroyed the bowling as per the usual routine in t20’s. Only poor captaincy from Rohit saved SL here

 

[daytrader]

Just 1 run in the first over! BK has already tilted this competition in India's favour. Don't understand why he gets so much hate

 

[Waleed93]

I didn't see anyone said that..

I clearly remember some Indian fans and some self-proclaimed Pakistan fans saying that SKY's strike rate was 175 and hence his T20 potential is higher than Babar.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Wasim openly saying, I am backing the Sri Lankans.

Meh. Let him. He's still sore after his cocky, overconfident nature backfired in that 99 Super Six match.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Shaheen would have rattled in these conditions

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

It will be tough for Sri Lanka. They are not facing Afghanistan/Bangladesh bowling line up.

 

[Pakhs]

True.

But we still won't win today, probably.

In anycase that the kind of SR you need not what Babar or Virat usually play at.

 

[Rana]

Ball is talking

 

[Ab Fan]

Deepak Hooda- Babar Azam
SKY- AB devilliers
Pant- Gilchrist

All would have destroyed the bowling as per the usual routine in t20’s. Only poor captaincy from Rohit saved SL here

None anywhere close to

Babar - Kohli

 

[Rana]

Need to play some ramps

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Just 1 run in the first over! BK has already tilted this competition in India's favour. Don't understand why he gets so much hate

Because fans want toothless phaast bowlers instead.

 

[sweep_shot]

Wasim openly saying, I am backing the Sri Lankans.

As a neutral, I think it is advantage Sri Lanka.

Can't blame Wasim.

170 is chasable in Dubai.

 

[Pakhs]

I thin bhuvi problem is when the ball does not swing so its a bit of a lottery.

 

[Ab Fan]

Can't blame Wasim.

170 is chasable in Dubai.

I agree with you, he is basing it on what he has seen in last few games. Nothing wrong with his comment but I think this pitch is not easy to hit. It is pretty slow and not coming well on bat.

 

[Smbhayi]

Chahal lucky it didn't reach him lol..
