Match #19- India vs Pakistan (D)- Nassau County Cricket Stadium, New York- June 9th-- Group A

Whatever it takes!!!
130 is far away with our 3 #11s.

People often think I just want norounders coz I like allrounders. But what I always advocate for are batsmen who can bowl and bowlers who can bat. They add the depth to all champion sides. Its the fact that none of our bowlers ever bat and those who do can't hit and none of our batters can ever bowl, that annoys me. Dube is useless unless he plays a very specific role batting at 4. I also think he freezes under pressure which is really tough for a guy whose utility is as a 6 hitter.

Kuldeep may have helped here but its also possible the spinner flighting the ball can be smashed. Just gotta put it behind us and concentrate on the next games.

I remember that Sharjah game when we got bowled out for 125 and then rolled Pak for 83 back in the 80s.

But this is gonna be like the 2021 WC game, unfortunately. :(

India was 81-3 after 10 overs. But they forgot to pick batsmen in the XI so we ended up here.
We dont have batsmen who bat 5-8 anyways in the IPL. That has been the issue. Rinku is the only one who missed out.

Our ideal T20 batting line up would be

Rohit
Jaiswal
Virat
Pant
SKY
Rinku

but this means we will never have a 6th bowler.

India's pace attack isn't at great as Pakistan's but they still have to face Bumrah, siraj, arshdeep and hardik. The only reason india where 81/3 to begin with was because pakistan dropped a million catches. If india field decently this is very defendable.
