T20 World Cup, June 1-29

[mikesiva]

India 119 all out

Pant 42

Naseem and Rauf 3-21 each.

This is poor New York pitch, and the outfield is slow. So 119 may be enough.

Bundled out for 119 like minnows. batted like minnows. Couldn't even bat 20 overs. Still, in Pakistan batting we believe. It has come at this point now.

Virat Kohli even missed the practice match. Had time to play full IPL season but preparation for WC in these conditions was not required? But corporations have invested heavily in him through endorsements and the board will not take a decision to drop him. Same has been happening with Rohit inspite of failures in major tournaments in finals or earlier. They will milk out all the money they have given Virat and other superstars before they drop him. Their logos need to be flashed after every fifty in bilateral series. It helps them. Things were same with earlier players, and it is same with Virat and Rohit too along with some others. The only player they got rid of was Shikhar after one failure after other in major competitions. But even he made a slight comeback in one tournament.

has there been a massive delay, or are we still on the IPL time zone?

[Durhamfootman]

I see that Pakistan have finally told Moin Khan to shut his face and have dropped the chunkster

[meninblue]

Pak 38/1 in 7 overs.

Shivam Dubey dropped one simple catch from Rizwan. Pakistan are trying best to lose wickets but Indian team is clearly not interested.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Pakistan well placed. But it is Pakistan, so who knows.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Here we go. Two wickets in three overs.

[Durhamfootman]

Pakistan in danger of stuffing up a 120 chase

someone needs to get the long handle out

[Durhamfootman]

this match was scheduled to start at 3.30. It's now nearly time for me to go to bed and there are still 2 overs to go

[Durhamfootman]

18 needed off the last over

Pakistan don't look like they could score 18 runs off 5 overs

Durham-esque!

[Durhamfootman]

this must be a shocking pitch if Pant's 42 off 31 balls is the standout innings of the match

In Pakistan batting we believe

7 down. I am already celebrating

Only Pakistan batting could save us and they did once again. Poor from India though. Selections are wrong. It starts from there.

POTM imo.

Jasprit bowled well but it is easy to take 2 Pakistani wickets on this pitch than for a batsman to outscore with good strike rate against Naseem, Haris and Shaheen.

Pakistani have rubbish spinners. It helped India.

Teams like Australia will not lose chasing these rubbish totals.

[Durhamfootman]

Scotland doing their best to pile the pressure on sorry England
