Very little interest in this I see.

Come on guys, its T20. Zimbabwe's 120+ scores will be more competitive.

Last time Zimbo actually won against India.

 

[street cricketer]

This is a shaky batting line up.

Zimboks can put India under pressure with early wickets.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Come on Zimbabwe, smash them.

 

[Xeeebon]

Come on Zimbabwe, smash them.

Any broadcasting info would be useful.

Zimbo going good.

[Xeeebon]

Masakadza is on fire...consecutive SIX !!!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Hammy on fire today.

 

[Xeeebon]

Thanks a lot roary

 

[Xeeebon]

Zim 33/4, 4 overs

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Zimbabwe shouldn't kill the momentum, must keep on attacking.

 

[Xeeebon]

Masakadza OUT!!! First shock to zimbo

 

[Xeeebon]

Zim 33/1, 5 overs

 

[#GreenRoars]

He is in pain, bloody hell. That was nasty.

 

[Xeeebon]

Congrats dhoni for best (61) dismissal in T20I....

 

[#GreenRoars]

Hits the ribs, and dude cant walk even very very nasty hit that was. I hope he is fine.

 

[Xeeebon]

Bad luck for mutu and for zimbo...

 

[big_gamer007]

Looks like only Pakistanis and BD fans watching this match no Indian replying in this thread.. Such is the fan following of Indian team ��

 

[Hasan123]

Does anyone if it's on in the UK?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Because it's not IPL, that's why no Indian fans here.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Chibha

 

[Xeeebon]

Another gone !!!

 

[Xeeebon]

Zimbo slipping...

 

[#GreenRoars]

Beautiful shot by Waller

 

[Xeeebon]

Push zimbo push...140/150 ud be great...

 

[Xeeebon]

Hope zimbo make 180+ and match be very competitive...

 

[#GreenRoars]

I hope Zimbo dont collapse

 

[#GreenRoars]

Dhawan, Kulkarni, Axar, poor bowlers tbh.

B Sran is little good, but needs improvement.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Waller on fire, smashed it for

 

[Xeeebon]

Zimbo choking...

 

[#GreenRoars]

And as i was afraid of collapse, here it begins.

 

[Xeeebon]

Zim 99/4,overs 14

 

[Xeeebon]

100 up for zimbo...now all will be dependent on chigu...hope he will fire...

 

[Xeeebon]

150 is likely...but...

 

[Xeeebon]

134/6,overs 18

 

[Asim2Good]

Is Bumrah chucking today?
Have to see his bowling in slow motion today. I only saw his 18th over only

 

[Xeeebon]

Chigu is on fire...FOUR,SIX...

 

[Xeeebon]

Could be...

 

[King Kong]

Unadkat is the perfect example of trundler.

Bhuvneshwar, bumrah, Shami, Ashwin are the only decent bowlers India have.

 

[Xeeebon]

Chigu another SIX ...GREAT OVER for zimbo...21 RUNS !!!!!

 

[Xeeebon]

Another SIX...poor bumrah...

 

[#GreenRoars]

Terrible bowling from Unadkat.. Don't know how the hell he got selected for National team. He isnt even a club level bowler.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Chigs has smashed one more

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Finally Zimbabwe put up a competitive total.

 

[#GreenRoars]

One moooooooooooooooooooooore

 

[#GreenRoars]

Chigs brings his fifty in just 25 balls, excellent knock.

 

[Xeeebon]

Another SIX ...bumrah is being beaten...

 

[Xeeebon]

What a fifty CHIGU....Despite collapse great finish by ZIMBO...hope for a great game...

 

[boomboomcheema]

Great knock by Chigum, Gets Zimbabwe to a decent score.

 

[Batman_DB]

rishi dhawan and Unadkat no good!!! they got no future in current indian team

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Zim are batting good today but tbh the Indians aren't bowling well either.

 

[Xeeebon]

171 target for IND to win...hope for a close fight...

 

[Adijazz1706]

Zim have scored more in the T20 than they could in the ODIs

 

[Markhor]

71 runs for Zimbabwe in the last 6 overs.

Finally given something for their supporters to cheer about.

 

[#GreenRoars]

L Rahul 1st ball and

 

[Batman_DB]

who will rescue india today?

 

[RamLakhan]

L Rahul 1st ball and

Extremes! ODI - Debut Century, T20 - Golden Duck

 

[Markhor]

Mandeep Singh gone - superb catch diving forward !

Seems like a decent crowd in too.

 

[Batman_DB]

india in trouble 3 down still 117 to get

 

[RamLakhan]

who will rescue india today?

Pandey! Kohli 2.0 version as some claim!

 

[King Kong]

This guy Kedhar Jadhav has some amazing List A stats. Averaging 48 at a strike rate of 106 is something we don't see in Indian domestic circuit. Why is this guy not getting hyped by Indian fans?

 

[Gabbar Singh]

India in big trouble now.

 

[Firebreaker]

Good to see Zimbabwe finally doing well

I've never seen him perform whenever I see him in the IPL or for India.

Looks like a domestic bully..

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Just hate the serious look of Dhoni, not sure whether he thinks high of himself or is it natural. And Dhoni should grow up, and get over the hairstyles of kids, he is a senior man now.

 

[Xeeebon]

Another goes!

 

[street cricketer]

Dhawan, Kulkarni, Axar, poor bowlers tbh.

B Sran is little good, but needs improvement.

Kulkarni is decent. Bowls in good channels.

I've still not understood what's special in Axar but he somehow gets wickets. Probably Jadeja's younger brother in that aspect.

Rishi Dhawan is a super trundler.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Overall, Indian players have the worst dressing sense.

 

[Batman_DB]

MSD finally walks out to bat

 

[street cricketer]

Looks like Chigumbura played a hell of a knock today. Been getting golden and diamond ducks lately.

Interesting there's no Sibanda in their team. He's the only guy I've seen score some runs when all others fail around him.

 

[Hasan123]

Upset on the cards

 

[King Kong]

For India to win this game, Pandey has to play a crucial innings. Dhoni is not the kind of player who can win the game for India when required 60 of 30 single handedly. He just doesn't have that potential and talent though he is very gritty and indomitable.

 

[Dman]

LOL@ Dhoni

 

[King Kong]

Upset on the cards

Don't think so. Junior Kohli and Dhoni are still out there.

 

[Firebreaker]

MSD will win the game for India

 

[King Kong]

MSD will win the game for India

Correction. Pandey will win it for India.

 

[JibranAnsari]

A highly anticipated game today.
