We all know BCCI has all the money in this world. This was a match they had to win and win handsomely to stay in the tournament

Afghanistan wins the toss and somehow which they never do “asks” team India to bat first. Coz India can score big and win with huge margin to take the run rate up on the table.

Next 60% of overs are gone from their spinners. Mujeeb doesn’t play and Nabi bowls just one over.

Pant, Pandya and Rohit who looked terribly out of form, score and score at good sr especially Pandya scores at 270 who was scoring like a granddad

Sad to see the game of cricket has fallen this low
 
This was on the cards, could have made good money on betting against Afghanistan. I guess more IPL contracts for Afghanistan are on the way. I hope NZ aren't sell outs and beat the day light out of this Afghan team.
 
Now they’re (afg wickets) falling like a pack of cards. I am all for the money of BCCI. They worked for it.

But when they start buying matches, disgusting. I think it’ll be a norm very soon.
 
I’ll give Afghanistan the benefit of the doubt and try to work out what happened today.

They won the toss and went for India’s biggest weakness and concern, batting first. India would have bowled first too had they won the toss, this just worked out better for India as the track is very flat.

Afghanistan played this entire innings with a defeatist mindset, including their fans who have surprisingly become soft. They know that their best chance to go forward is 6 points and not 8. What they will try to do is preserve the nrr and simply try and beat NZ, which should also increase that net run rate

They will aim for 160 here, take the defeat and go guns blazing against the kiwis
 
Afghan players body language didn't look good. They played as if their lives depended on it against Pakistan.
 
Afg never bowls first but no when it comes to India they had to since letting India bat first and score big and themselves getting bundled out for a small score will give India the much needed boost for the nrr
 
LMAO..

Nice trolling. Afghanistan is a crap team, they capitulated under pressure, thats all. India has not miraculously improved overnight, they are the same.
 
I knew PP would come up with something golden like this. It's obviously done in a trolling way but some PPers are actually buying it.

I guess Gurbaz did not get the memo!
 
Poor thread.
You do get these sort of games when two weak sides go at it. Nothing to see.
 
It's a battle between 2 minnows in this WC. This is the reality. The OP is over thinking a match between 2 equal sides.
 
Let me remind u not every player has to be involved. As long as captain and few important players are made to accept the deal.

We all know the captain and ex captain are bought at IPL and we saw that today
 
I agree with OP. Look at the difference in the length that Rashid bowled to Pakistan and what he bowled to India.

All true but why such bad body language and questionable captaincy including choosing to bowl first?
 
Guys, if you were expecting India to lose all 5 matches of the tournament then I can tell you, you are headed for disapointment.

India are still a long way away from SF qualification but you'd not know that if you are on PP today. :facepalm:
 
I am sure the Taliban are watching. I can see consequences if anything is proven.

India is on a mission to destroy international cricket and make IPL the only recognizable cricket tournament of the world.

Most Indians wanted India to score over 200 runs, at least that was the excuse given by many ex-india cricketers and BCCI apologist fans.
 
There are too many coincidences

- bowling first against your strength
- bowling 2 spinners up front against your strength
- shoulders down from ball 1 of side which has almost reached semis
- naveen bowling negative line he never bowled in previous matches
- Rashid khan bowling negative non threatening line and length he never bowled in all of 2021 including IPL.
- fielders throwing balls to boundary after fielding
- slow running towards ball and not moving forward to attempt to catch balls at boundaries
- nabi being the best bowling in his 1 over and not bowling anymore
- Karim janat not bowling after being second best bowler
- all the bowlers especially Rashid khan bowling pies even Namibia and Scotland would have scored 150
- DEFENSIVE dot balls overload in game which is asking for over 13 runs an over now
- no intent to chase. Run rate of 5.8 on a flat track


It just doesn’t add up . If this side played vs pakistan pakistan would have got them out of 100 and got that in 8 overs . Namibia would have beaten this Afghanistan. They played that badly
 
Nabi is practicing for test match in Australia, can someone tell him that Australia has already cancelled it?
 
Its a fishy match. Look at the way rashid bowled and nabi bowling a single over.
Look at the batting now
 
I think this match is not just played between Ind and Afg

But ICC, Broadcasters, BCCI, ACB, IPL, and some DUBAI BASED SPECIAL UNITS
 
Afghanistan’s main strength is their three spinners, and only one of them completed his full quota of overs tonight.

Not sure what else PP expected? Pakistan would have done well against this Afghan bowling on this track too. India is still a quality team, if they had capitulated against 15 overs of low quality bowling of this stature I would have called that foul play.
 
Going by that we have to believe all Afghanistan players try to lose the game because they got money ? I don't think they are such individuals who would sell their country for some cash . Let's be clear this wicket suited India and India were not in real pressure here . Also no mujeeb makes it easier for India . Bowling apart from Hamid was all crap .indians play Rashid alot in ipl so they know how to counter him .these indian batsmen are still world class . What do you expect likes of Naveen , sharifudeen to bowl against Rohit and co ? Against Pakistan also Afghanistan collapsed but it was late blitz which made the game interesting and our openers play with low strike rate .
 
Look there are things which are not in control especially against top teams


But there are things which are in control which Afg clearly showed some questionable decisions

Afg bowls first which they never do
Mujeeb doesn’t play
Nabi bowls one over
Batting like they’re not even interested to come anywhere close to it

I won't say the match is fixed. But this is so true. The Afghans played like tigers against Pakistan but their body language has been so muted throughout this game. Not suggesting it's a fix. But something does not seem right would be a fair comment.

Afghanistan wanted to follow the blueprint of restricting India to a low score

Mujeeb is unfit

Nabi not bowling is questionable

No way are they chasing 211 even against associates.

I like mocking India as much as the next Pakistani here, but these fixing excuses are dumb. Pakistan had to contend with 12 overs of Rashid, Mujeeb and Nabi. India got to play 15 overs of Naveen, Sharafuddin, Hamid and Gulbadin. Had India messed this up, they didn’t even deserve to be in this WC.
 
Karim Janat trying to make this match look “real”.

Typical Bollywood script this. Just to show that Afg tried lol. What a match it was between ICC, BCCI, Broadcasters and few Afghan Players

I normally have the same view as you and don't beleive in conspiracies. But this match stinks too much. I have my doubts and most of all it's the body language of the Afghans from ball one. This was a huge match for the Afghans. Did you see their do or die approach v Pakistan? Where was that approach today from the start?
 
Bad decision.
Should have batted first.
Afghans were cheeky thinking they'll skittle India out for around 150.
Bowlers like Rashid and Co were definately gonna be more useful bowling second.
But...hey ho!
I can see Afghans beating New Zealand in their final game and then India smashing/trouncing Namibia in the last game of the Super 12 to make the semis.

Yup too many conincidences in one game

1. Asghar Afghan after leading his team admirably retires before the game against India. His excuse was he couldn't take the loss against Pakistan but why did he play against Namibia?

2. Mujeeb is still unfit, an obvious red flag would have been if he played a game after Pakistan. Such a subtle smooth move

3. You bring in inexperienced trundlers for replacements who were not even half-decent batsmen

4. All of a sudden decided to chase which is against their strength

5. Rashid, a world-class bowler, was garbage today. From the very first over he bowled short and consistently bowled offbreaks between middle and leg leaving no chance for lbws.

6. Two best bowlers today bowled only 2 overs.

7. Outrageous chase and no fight at all.
 
If afghanistan wins against NZ than india will go through because the play last.
Last group games should be played at same time like football.
 
Karim Jannat bowled one over, gave 7 runs and took a wicket of Rohit Sharma.

Guess what?
Karim was taken off from the attack. Isn't that bizarre?
 
The ending of the Afg-Pak match was the more suspicious to me tbh. I mean, the entire game was neck and neck and any result was possible. And then here comes this bloke Karim Jannat and bowls a hilarious over to Asif Ali to effectively hand the game on the platter.

Had me wondering if the political changes in Afghanistan had something to do with it:98:
 
All these Indian fans trying to mock us for not wanting to play India in the final are forgetting the deliberate loss against England in 2019 worldcup. Our team has done nothing to suggest they are unwilling to play Indian again in the tournament but everyone including ben Stokes raised eye brows at their loss in 2019 worldcup where Pakistan could have qualified if India hadnt thrown away their game.
 
Really sad day when the No. 3 team in the world has to buy out the no. 7 team just to win against them.

Yes , you are right .no one raised questions when jannat bowling harmless delivery to Asif Ali .but when it's come to India conspiracy brigade (mainly delusion pakistan fans ) came in full flow .
 
He did the same against newzeland.. are you suggesting newzeland was also part of a grand plan to get Pakistan to the final? Lol

Nice try - but completely wrong. He had bowled well earlier so was a good choice for the penultimate over. And it's not like he bowled lollipops and full tosses. Far from it. The balls were actualy quite decent. It was simply exceptional hitting. The only people who could have any doubts about this are crying Indians behaving like unsporting losers. But I'm sure you don't fall in that category.

By this logic, the ending to Pak NZ was also fixed? lol
 
I don't know if you are being serious or sarcastic. But this sounds like a conspiracy that's a stretch even for SPECTRE, let alone the BCCI.

People tend to forget that despite certain positives, Afghanistan is still a pretty rubbish team. It is not a team that is greater than the sum of its parts.

It has a few match-winners. 3 to be exact (one of whom wasn't even playing today). And the rest are just bits and pieces players, who on most days will fail.

They are a dangerous team, yes. And have the capability to challenge bigger teams. But that's largely due to the unpredictability of the format. Once you start dominating them, they unravel. We saw this in the 2019 World Cup where England absolutely destroyed their bowling and smashed all types of records, and we saw it again today.

Exactly. Their batting is being criticized for not going for 211, when they knew fully well that their rubbish batsmen would probably get shot out for below 100 if they did try.

They are a dangerous team as they can upset teams, specially with that spin attack. However, you got only five overs from that spin trio tonight (Mujeeb did not play), so that effectively killed off any bowling prowess they had.

Afghanistan is given too much credit here, I don’t see them beating NZ unless Mujeeb plays and delivers a good performance along with Rashid and Nabi.

I got that feeling too. Could be that certain people belonging to shadowy organization made a phone call to the ruling party in Afghanistan and an agreement was reached. I don't have any way to prove it but something about that feels really fishy to me.
 
Afghanistan probably will be kicked out of the icc with their stance on women's team, nice way to earn a few bucks before hand ??

Sneaky Dhoni was giving Pakistan a little nudge out of the tournament that day :cummins
 
A possible scenario(highly unlikely) for India to qualify:

- India beat Scotland and Namibia by 80+ runs.

- Afghanistan beat New Zealand by less than 53 runs.
 
Considering this was a free hit for the Afghans, their approach was strange unless they are saving themselves for the NZ match.

The moment I saw Mujeeb's name wasn't on the team sheet, I had a feeling Afghanistan was toast. Without his miserly powerplay overs not only could Afghanistan not build pressure from the outset; but Nabi's own decline in form with the ball meant that India only really had to worry about Rashid's four overs. And once he came on, the Indian batsmen were so well-set that even he became a non-factor.

A team so heavily dependent on 3 players cannot be taken as a serious contender for the trophy, which I was quite surprised to hear certain people calling Afghanistan. I fully expect New Zealand to beat Afghanistan too, who (when you think about it) haven't really done anything to be as overhyped as they are.

They were thrashed by South Africa in the warm-ups. Notched up two big wins against minnow sides. And while they had Pakistan on the ropes and even looked like winning the game (for one over), Pakistan looked comfortably better for the most part of that match. The way I see it, their results so far are exactly what you expected them to be.
 
I believe Afgan players were told to underperform or else say tata bye bye to IPL.
Very strange match. Afgan were favourites.
 
The toss and the bowling changes were the only things that could be deemed strange given past strategy of afg. That would all go on captain not whole team.

But rest of the stuff people are listing is just an unprofessional Afghan outfit being exposed in cricket.
 
This has all the makings of a bollywood fairytale, india gonna repeat the cornered tigers run and win the cup, no wonder why akshay kumar was so happy watching india vs pak he is doing his homework :))
 
It is shady.

A captain retiring in the middle of a tournament is a HUGE red flag.

His explanation said a lot too - "...this is a difficult time to explain but I have to retire."

One thing on its own is not a big deal but there were at least 3-4 major question marks around what Afghanistan was doing on the field today.

Anndd...also...I am scratching my head thinking what Talibans would do to their cricket team if they recieved a call from 151.
 
that was nabi saying we will bowl first not kohli....
 
I dont think India had anything to do with fixing here.

Afghans told themselves to chill out imo. Reason is simple any heavy defeat would of India would have worried the Afghan players for their future T20 contracts.

Both teams are poor and both can share a plane back to Dehli soon.

They have only 3 good players, they are better and more experienced team out all the minnow teams, no one has over rate them unless they are playing against Pakistan, but they are capable of beating the best team on their given days unlike other minnow teams.

But as someone has mentioned, way too many coincidences for a game.

I don't know about beating. When have they ever beaten a major side that isn't Bangladesh or West Indies? They can challenge teams, sure. And somehow they find a way to take Pakistan to the limit. But if you look at their side, there's nothing that tells you that they are a complete side.

But I wouldn't call them minnows either. They are definitely a few notches above the minnow level which is evident by their No. 7 T20 ranking.
