2nd semi-final: India vs England | Providence

[Sunil1z]

Last time a Team won ICC T20knockout match batting first it was in 2012 .

They're scared. The whole lot of them.

Who is they? India want to play cause truncated game hurts them batting first because they don’t know the targets to set. England want to play to make use of the conditions as it was swinging a lot for Bumrah in practice. Broadcasters want to play cause of $$$. Who DOESN’T want play?

 

[ashley bach]

That's an incredible stat

Never attribute to malice what you can attribute to incompetence.

 

[cnerd123]

this is idiotic. Why not at least have the toss?

Because they need conditions to be fit for play before tossing. Teams can then assess the outfield, pitch, run-ups and weather conditions and decide what they want to do

You might as well ask why don't they toss the night before at the hotel room

I was merely commenting on the gap between the toss and the start of play... it's wasteful lol

 

[chris.hinton]

India’s chance was the rain

England will bowl them out for 140

 

[silentstriker]

Looks a 130-140 pitch at best.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Rohit bhai, this ain't Wankhede.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That catch should have been taken.

 

[ashley bach]

Expected score is about 160

 

[BazBall21]

It's a pitch it up wicket as expected. Hard work to smash through the line on this. Think it's a decent wicket to bowl to Rohit on. He's lethal at rocking back and smashing good lengths on flatter tracks.

 

[silentstriker]

Man what a **** tournament for Kohli.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

So far, score predictions...

@SillyCowCorner1-> 150
@chris.hinton -----> 140
@silentstriker ------> 130 to 140
@ashley bach ------> 160

 

[GIMH]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Not done too much harm to India today Kohli.

Shame.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The KiNg with 9 (9)

@ashley bach

 

[OverratedSanity]

Might as well lose this so I can support SA in the final with conviction.

 

[Arachnodouche]

I'm ok with Kohli's approach and commitment to the cause but he's done in this format after this WC.

 

[BazBall21]

I instinctively celebrated Kohli's dismissal but he can get tied down by spin
