Group 2 (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Netherlands)

I blame this all on Stubbs.

 

[cnerd123]

crazy how India have sucked for most of this game in all departments and yet the game's come down to the last 5 balls

 

[Tec15]

That’s a ****ing wide, no?

Umpires got their instruction from the BCCI.

 

[Everton Seymour]

Game should have been over..Again SA players acting so stupid like they have never played cricket before....Just play the ball on its merits ffs

 

[Bolo.]

****. nerves

 

[Tec15]

Finally.

 

[cnerd123]

this result flatters us

SKY and the quicks were good, rest of the team sucked. SA good overall.

 

[StephenZA]

SA really make life difficult for themselves…

 

[Everton Seymour]

India were incredibly poor bar SKY and the quicks , SA need to drop Bavuma going forward which is unlikely and address the amount of dot balls they use up . Had India fielded better they would have won this game

South African player of the match: Virat Kohli

Thanks mate

 

[Xuhaib]

Does DK have noodz on the BCCI.

Even Shoaib Malik was not as big of a leech for us as DK is for India.

 

[loterry1994]

They should of had privthi Shaw and Samson in the squad. Also I’d have Pant in there over dk anyday. Was a tough game I think whoever batted first was gonna struggle. I think Pakistan are gone now

 

[Shri]

when you play pak once but beat them twice

 

[Bolo.]

yay. donethi.g so.ethi.ng sko.thi.. i mm too drykn.

 

[honestbharani]

Miller's comeback has been one for the ages. I know the T20 is still a very young format but this is as good as any of the great test and ODI comebacks for a batsman AFAIC.


From INdia's PoV, the batting once again leaves a lot to be desired. If DK is injured, hopefully it simplifies a few things. Ideally, we should go...

Rohit
Pant (wk)
Virat
SKY
Hooda
Hardik
Axar
Ashwin
Shami
Bhuvi
Arshdeep

Conspiracy Theory:
Match was fixed between both sides. Kohli dropping easy catch, Rohit Sharma missing easy run out and SA taking their sweet time to chase 133 , so as not to hurt India's NRR. Both side got what they wanted ?

Pant has done himself no favors by never really doing well when been picked , but yeah DK is a problem here. It's all well and good smacking it around in the IPL on postage stamps but these pitches and bowlers he is facing is a different world entirely.

 

[Burgey]

SA’s pace attack is a thing of beauty. Skilful and intimidating. They can blow away any side on their day

 

[Bahnz]

And the pitches at the WACA and the MCG have been fantastic. So thrilling to see the ball pinging off the deck and flying through to the keeper at head height. India missing Bumrah big in these conditions.

India ain't going far in the tournament. Freak Kohli innings and dollops of luck helped us win game against Pakistan. But the weaknesses are too many. Fielding is pits. Batting dependent on Kohli and Surya, no one else is firing.
