Asia Cup 2018 - UAE (September 2018)

Get Malik out soon and win the game. MSD should've caught that one but nevertheless we've bowled really well here. Exceptional and where are my Indian friends who said we had no chance against Pakistan yesterday.

What a stupid run out, it's not going Pakistan way at all.
India got this match easy.

There goes asif as well, Well I better get back to work and ignore this match now lol.

And .. he's gone.

We need to finish well now by getting their lower order/tailenders for cheap which has been a problem recently but kinda trusting our unpredictable bowling unit for now. C'mon team!

Shadab and Ashraf more than capable of scoring plenty of runs. India well on top but Shadab has had some great performances with the bat in international cricket and India have to be aware of that.

Hopefully India does not carry that struggle of getting lower order batsmen out in Test cricket into this game. 150 all out would be ideal.

Ugh... The wagging tail curse just won't stop

Kedar Jadhav is showing how useful he is going to be in India's ODI scheme of things, with a bowling performance like that. His bowling can help India play an extra seamer in English conditions while playing just one single spinner. His batting is not as flashy and beefy as Hardik, but he gets the quick runs almost as well.

How did Hardik get that injury? We have lost his batting in this game, which could be mighty crucial. Hope we dont need to get to the point where we miss Hardik's batting in this game. Is Rahul sick or what? If not, can't see how he can be dropped for such an important game. I'd have picked him over Karthik.

Dropped catches by india here after Shadab ' s exit

85/2
126/7
Jadhav 9/0/23/3

Now 175/189 possible as Fahim digs well

MS should retire terrible keeping he should hold one in the 40th over off Kuldeep

India must need someoneelse than ms for worldcup

I'll reserve my comment until after the match gets over.

If not, can't see how he can be dropped for such an important game.

On the contrary, this being a dead rubber perhaps the management thought of testing the bench strength. We will, in all probability, play them again soon.

163 not easy for India because indian seamer grabbed 5 wickets so I think Amir might ruin indian party if India also starts sloppy.

Hasan Ali and Usman might create problem for indian middle order too.

We will win bro. Party!?

Openers need to put up around 50+ at least, let Amir and Ali's spell get wasted and don't try anything fancy. Gotta be a bit aggressive though.

Oh come 163 shouldn't be a problem for a batting line that india have got.
Plus Amir have been poor lately haven't been getting alot of wickets so I doubt it he will do well.

I don't think so. He is tired. He is also a human. I don't know why he played yesterday against HongKong. It's very hard for a keeper.

Kedar has always been in India's ODI scheme of things ever since he bamboozled NZ players in that home series. He has the ability to finish the games as well which is what India needs right now. However, his problem has been his inconsistency in batting and his fielding. Now I will give you the list of bad fielders that India currently have in their line-up. Chahal, Jadhav, Kuldeep, Rohit(not as bad the other three but he is getting there). However, if Kedar does take his chances and scores some runs at that number 6 position, I think he has probably sealed that position.

Now if Hardik does not play in the rest of the tournament, it will be a huge blow for India just because of the balance that he brings to our team. If we bring in Khaleel in place of him, we will be a batsman short. If we bring in Akshar Patel, we will have 4 spinners which might be too many and although Akshar can bat, it's not up to Hardik's level. It will be interesting to see what India does. One out of the box selection would be to bring in Krunal Pandya replacing Hardik in the squad. Krunal's batting is probably as good as Hardik but again, it will be one too many spinner in the line-up.

Rohit is looking pretty good now so I think this should match get over pretty quickly.
