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

[smash84]

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.

This. Except bumrah is better than any Pakistan bowler, and significantly so.

Amir also thinks that it's a competitive total given how tough this wicket is to bat on.

If Pakistan can't chase 120 then just send them home right now

Why would you not open with your best most experienced bowler defending a low total? Beggars belief.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Not much swing available so discard arshdeep and bowl bumrah or siraj

 

[smash84]

Wtf, why is bumrah not bowling

Because either of Dravid or Rohit is smarter than half and neither has the balls to contradict the other.

[cnerd123]

Dube just another in the wheel of Indian youngsters who can't handle big game pressure

 

[cnerd123]

sliver of hope

 

[smash84]

If India now put pressure, they can actually come back into the game really well.

India have made pakistan's fielding look competent so far. They take there chances and all of a sudden 26/3 looks way more interesting.

Bumrah is so damn good. Not sure why he wasn't given the first over

Hindsight is 50/50 but bumrah is more of a threat than arshdeep or siraj once the ball isn't brand new and swinging. Just as likely that bumrah bowls a 4/5 runs first over than one of them leak runs in the 5th/6th with the field up.

That applies when you have runs on the board

It isn't like he can't control the swing. Plenty of times he's delivered in the first over. But with such a small total to defend you go all in with your best bowler first up.
