4th June - Group B - India v Pakistan

@Jmay and ***** -

It was not early though, which is why I asked the question. We lost overs around the 31 over mark. Jmay's point makes sense, coz if you add even more runs it is like hitting the other team twice.

Because India set out their innings expecting to bat 50. The chasing team knows it's a reduced overs match.

Lol that's ridiculous if that is the reason for the rule.

Nah

Why?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Pakistan started reasonably well

 

[cnerd123]

Too many freebies here early on

 

[Contra]

Need a wicket

 

[91Jmay]

Not really sure decking one down half way with this field is the way to go. Ali pretty solid against short stuff as well IIRC

 

[honestbharani]

Umesh looking as loose as usual here. No longer the abomination we saw in the test season it seems.

Lol they're showing that 2002 CT semifinal where SA choked against us. Soooooooooo good.

I went back to my hostel room midway through their chase to finish an assignment, thinking they would cruise it. Then there were roaring noises a while later coming from the TV room and I ran back to see the last over. Great times

Bhuvi averages 40 yet pak playing him like he's mcgrath lol

 

[cnerd123]

Seriously can we stop playing cricket in England please

 

[OverratedSanity]

That 20 over DL target doesn't look good for India. We need a few wickets here.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

**** this is frustrating

 

[vcs]

This is annoying.

Damn Bhuvis stats are so bad. Goes to show how numbers don't reveal the whole story

You were overrating Pak's batting and underrating India's bowling before the match. This is a more accurate assessment.

 

[Black_Warrior]

289 from 41 overs

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

So 267 odd from 36.1 required
