28th Match - India v Afghanistan

[Member Berry]

heartbreaking for nabi. was so in command, peak dhoni-esque stuff.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Manjrekar unclenching his butt was actually almost audible.

 

[h_hurricane]

Hat-trick !

 

[harsh.ag]

Gets a ****ing hattrick too

 

[cnerd123]

Haha love that celebration from Shami. Huge performance from India in the field. Afghanistan so close but so far.

 

[slippy888]

HAT TRICK unreal SHAMI

 

[OverratedSanity]

Haha shami wafg.

Terrific game.

 

[ajdude]

ok so i’ve been watching on my ipad on a slight delay while playing ori on xbox. and holy **** the commentary from manjrekar and ramiz was ****ing disgusting, such condescending bullshit the whole way through

 

[MW1304]

Fair play Shami. Wasn't as inch-perfect as Bumrah but getting a hattrick in a genuine pressure situation is class.

 

[Anil]

shami hattrick to finish it off but that was too close for comfort.

 

[Member Berry]

never in doubt

Seen this too many times. Chasing deep almost never pulls off. A good chase is taking risks in the beginning and getting the run rate well above the required. Regardless even if you are a weaker cricket team than your opponents.

There’s no one size fits all way to approach a chase. You make it sound as if hitting Bumrah and Shami around is easy.

It was woeful all game.

 

[Member Berry]

what a game in the end. feel sorry for afghanistan, india stole this one

 

[weldone]

Hope that means Bhuvi's World Cup is over.

 

[harsh.ag]

It was hittable too.

Yeah, had six written all over it. Shame.

 

[slippy888]

Yeah, had six written all over it. Shame.

I thought it was going for 6 judging by nabi reaction

 

[Member Berry]

shami is probably gonna get MOM but it should be bumrah. he is elite.

 

[Maximas]

Dammit. How do you bat 50 overs and not chase 225

My school side did it all the time

 

[bk19xsa]

Its better to hit both of them in the beginning than hitting them under pressure at the end while requiring 9 from their overs.

Srilanka won a WC and plethora of other stuff by going blitzkrieg at the start in chases. And you would think it was not hard for them to hit Akram, Donald, Mcgrath, Ambrose and co.
