Asia cup 2022

[trundler]

Some ATG choking at the end of both innings. Also third umpire was definitely having fun with that review off Bishnoi. My nerves can't take these nail biters.

 

[honestbharani]

Tbf we got it done a chase of 180 plus without contribution from Babar he looks in touch as well just getting out I think he will go big in one of the coming games

Yeah but its still just Rizwan. (3) was awesome and so was Asif. That is really good for Pak. Although I guess Imad is still the front runner once he is back?

 

[smash84]

Yeah, they barely made it over the line despite winning the toss.

Makes for terrible tournament where toss is deciding factor

 

[Arachnodouche]

Both sides should have won or lost that game. Criminal from Pak to allow those boundaries at the end, bloody murder from Arshdeep to drop the sitter. Pak have the wood on India on account of their bowling though.

What wood?

 

[Arachnodouche]

Not gonna make innuendo but I think after a very long time Pak seem like they have the confidence to get over the line against us. I know we're missing Bumrah, Jadeja, and hopefully Shami too, but they're playing minus their best quick too. Everyone's saying the toss was vital tonight, and that might be the case, but I don't see India's batting making as good a feast of chasing 180 if the roles were reversed.

Shami is in our plans for ODIs but not T20Is. The one we are missing is D Chahar.

 

[CricAddict]

The bowling attack for India this match is quite second string except for Chahal. The first line-up will be Bumrah, Chahar, Harshal, Chahal and Jadeja+Hardik.

Chahar manages the opening overs while Harshal manages the death overs. Bumrah manages all 20.

 

[CricAddict]

To be fair though, Bhuvi has also improved a lot again this past year and I rate Arse highly as well.

Bumrah, Boobi, Arsedeep, Hardick and Pissnoi: wow, Indian team right now having a nice bowling line-up.

 

[Kirkut]

We made a strategic mistake by not picking up a death overs specialist, someone who is capable of bowling 3 - 4 yorkers in an over.

If you want to play Bhuvaneshwar Kumar in a T20 game, make sure he completes his bowling quota within first 10 overs, he's definitely neither a death overs bowler nor great with the old ball, he's a classic new ball swing bowler and should be utilized as one.

 

[Xuhaib]

For a meme cricketer Asif does finish quite a few games he will be terrible in Australia but then what's the solution going back to Malik?

Its Khusdil who I have real problem with wish we had given Haider Ali run here.

 

[Kirkut]

The first 5 overs of the Indian innings was some of the highest quality of T20 batting you'll ever get to watch.

 

[Kirkut]

What wood?

You guys have better spinners.

 

[Himannv]

Why are Jadeja and Ashwin not options in T20Is?

 

[smash84]

You guys have better spinners.

There is no wood, come on.

That's not having the wood over you guys means though.

He has no pace 130-135 is no pace.. Plus his action is literally run of the mill. India better start investing in Kartik Tyagi who is 145+ tall accurate bowler. Was with Indian test side in Australia.

Woah, Avesh is pretty quick. He hits 140k quite regularly, even in the IPL. He had recently talked about adjusting his pace based on the conditions or something like that, will share the link if I can find.

 

[karan_fromthestands]

Happy that India-Pak games are living up to their expectations. That 20th over in India's innings was quite funny. Kohli gives away 4 free dots(despite having Bhuvi at the other end who isn't bad with the bat), and Pak fielders balance it out by giving away two boundaries in the last two balls. Freebies galore from both sides.

 

[srbhkshk]

I am just happy Kohli finally is starting to look like 80% of the batsman he is, his situation was really going from funny to sad. Still can't quite get the fours at will like he could earlier but the trend is positive.

We lost the match in the middle overs I think, Pakistan's spinners did a much better job than Chahal. Pant and Hooda took too long to get going in India's innings compared to the Pakistani batsman.

Tbh, Bishnoi bowled some very difficult overs and did really well. It was Chahal who completely gave it away. I really think we should go ahead with Bishnoi for a while and replace Chahal with Axar/Ashwin. Chahal's stats are really impressive, but he somehow never clicks in key moments.
