World T20 Champs Super 8s & KOs, Feb 21-March 8

[Arthur Crabtree]

Hope on a go slow as usual. Needs to get out.

Run a ball in the PP of a T20. Hogging the strike too. Blocking his way to defeat.

25 balls, 14 dots!

[meninblue]

Wicket Varun strikes. Shai Hope gets out after scoring 32 from 33 balls. Not a good innings for this format and the wicket which is batsmen friendly.

WI 68/1.

[Arthur Crabtree]

And a stroke of luck for WI.

[meninblue]

Some very good hits by Shimron. 17 runs over for WI.

[Arthur Crabtree]

34 off 2.3 overs since Hope got out.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Some very good hits by Shimron. 17 runs over for WI.

Out, but a useful knock

Chase goes too. Handy over from Bumrah.

[meninblue]

2 wickets for Jasprit in the over. WI 103/3 in 11.5 overs.

[meninblue]

Now Tilak drops one and it goes for 6. Two dropped catches so far by India and both were not tough ones.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Disappointing end to the innings for WI. But must have a chance.

[meninblue]

Three catches dropped; two by Abhishek and one by Tilak. Bowlers did well to restrict to 195 considering 3 dropped chances and a wicket which is good to bat on.

Axar is batting at 8 which means it is a long batting lineup. WI are also light in bowling department. 195 is a very good score but imo that can be chased here with this batting.

[Durhamfootman]

Are India in trouble here?

Conceding 195 in a do or die game feels suboptimal to me

[Arthur Crabtree]

Couple of wickets down in reply, but well up with the RRR. Could be an interesting finish.

Eden is a very small ground. 3 easy catches dropped. The bowling actually did well to restrict Wi to 195 here as I posted in between innings.

India menwhile are doign good at 98/2 from 10 overs. With Axar at 8, on this small ground and not much for the spinners this is still India's match to win.

[meninblue]

Short and cut well for 4 by Sanju. 50 for Sanju He has played one of theose knocks where his strokeplay is near to his best. His due innings has come in the decider.

[Arthur Crabtree]

India well on top. WI need 2 wickets pronto.
