38th Match - India v England

[h_hurricane]

Once it starts getting more than 2 runs per ball, you sort of lose hope and reality sets in.

Massive 2015 WC semi final vibes here. 4 years on and our middle order still struggles in these kind of run-chases.

They are just rare in these situations. You have to give them credit for bowling tight at the start of the innings and we were always 20-30 behind where we needed to be.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Good bowling but ffs they just need to swing away now. This lack of #intent is a bit baffling.

India could benefit by losing this. They make it tougher for Pakistan or any other wild card team like Banga and face a NZ or they could end up facing England again and lose in the semis. The permutations are fantastic

Pandya has lost his rhythm. Looks done and dusted.

Yea England managed to win this in the first 10 overs of each innings. Bairstow and Roy put them on track for 330, and Archer and Woakes ensured we'd be climbing uphill to chase if all innings

They've just given up now it seems.

Dhoni playing for the red inker.

heading to a limp end, didn't see that coming with hardik still in there

Yeah we were always climbing uphill after they got away with something like 120 between overs 10-20. In a tight game, when one team dominates a phase to that extent, it's always hard to pull things back after that. England just needed to play sensible cricket after that phase and they did that.

 

[aussie tragic]

Lol, Eng winning means they will likely get 3rd and India likely 2nd so they'll face each other again in the semi's...love it, bye bye India

Shot !!!
C'mon MS

Burgey will be laughing in his sleep right now. And more so when he sees the scorecard tomorrow.

 

[Howe_zat]

This World Cup has seen a ton of bowlers who are completely different with the new ball and at the death - Henry etc - but Woakes really does take the biscuit.

I'm sure he's done now - they're going to need Stokes to come back on at the end.

 

[Member Berry]

a boundary omg

 

[cnerd123]

What's stunning is how India haven't hit a single six this innings

Weird from the nation that boasts the IPL.

 

[vcs]

Oh well, that's that.

 

[Member Berry]

yup it's over

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yep this is done. England did brilliantly to cramp Pandya when he was looking dangerous. Weird innings from him, looked like he had no body shape on any of his attempted big hits.
