Semi-Final #1- India v Australia- Tuesday, March 4th- Dubai

[SkyBlue]

Lol this would be a record chase for India in Dubai if they get there

Still 60-40 in Australia's favor

Why didn't nathan lyon get a look in this tournament? they could do with him now.

 

[slowfinger]

Nice hitting from Ellis

Let's see if Zamps can wag his tail

 

[Window]

Pandya for the last over is a choice

 

[Burgey]

Sangha will block this out, you watch

#neverforget

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Good choice to get Pandya to bowl that last over!

Wondered that myself as well

 

[King Kane]

Hardik ends it 3 balls short, 265 to win for India, they should be favourites but I don't think it will be an easy run chase.

 

[slowfinger]

i've got no idea who these Australian bowlers are so I'm going to call this india's way

 

[Gob]

Decent score but could have been lot more. Smith played an idiotic shot

 

[SkyBlue]

This game will show whether Shubman is another poser like Babar or he can genuinely go on to become one of the greats in this format like Rohit and Virat by playing a match defining knock

He's nearly 26 now and he's not had a big match knock in an ICC event just yet

BBL allstars + Zampa defending 265 vs india in an ICC knockout game would be very funny. Doubt it happens, but funny. Dropping Johnson was definitely a choice, even if we think the deck will turn. He's the guy I would have backed to take two or three early poles while the ball is new and swinging.

Close but 265 would be only the 3rd highest chase at DICS if they get it.

SL 287/8 vs Pak 2013 (49.4 overs)
Pak 275/9 vs SA 2010 (49.5 overs)

Note the winners only got there with 1 or 2 balls to spare

Pak 275/9 vs SA 2010u

All of a sudden it now becomes 40-60 in Australia’s favor

I really want to see how Iyer goes in this game as well. He would be a strong candidate to become the next captain if he plays a match winning knock. Been the best Indian batsmen in this tournament so far.

Would be shocked if we don't go hard at Australia in the opening 10 overs given the inexperience of the bowling attack

If Aussies get Rohit out early, it's going to become awfully hard to chase this down

He seems to be a very good slow wicket player

 

[Burgey]

I think Travis Head should bowl in the power play as he is father of whole Indian team.

Wait, if India make the final, is the final also in Dubai?
