Game over

Very tough chance, but gotta take it nonetheless.

That leaves your vulnerable middle order even more exposed if your top three doesn’t get to 15 overs

Seriously? Our middle order has been carrying our batting since 2020.

Talking about Pakistan.

fearsome tweak KL Rahul! And he dreams of captaining India! He got to play in front of Pant is a joke!

1. Don’t take advantage of the Powerplay
2. If you preserve wickets and get to 40-0 after 6, then you slow down even more in the middle overs
3. That leaves your vulnerable middle order even more exposed if your top three doesn’t get to 15 overs
4. Even if they get to 15 overs, they’ll likely be 120-1 at best, and everyone else has to hit from ball one

Solution? Use the bloody Powerplay.

Talking about Pakistan.

Nope. Have a look at Rohit's and Virat's performance in ODIs since 2021.

So this is why Shaheen has been travelling despite injury. His presence at stands also shaking Indian top order

 

[CerealKiller]

Pains me so much to see another generation of quicks being wasted by crap 90s batting.

Pakistan batting stocks aren't great as usual, Babar departing early didn't help either especially with Rizwan struggling to get going!

 

[Skankhunt_42]

Vk is riding on some serious luck

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Pakistan's best chance is the new ball.

Get 2 more wickets and put the middle order & long tail under pressure.

Some of the inform players are not even in the squad.

Hope this will a close game unlike the 5 previous encounters if I can remember.

Absolutely lunatic decision to drop Pant.

 

[CerealKiller]

Fakhar might be rewarded for his honesty, but not by Pakistani fans.
Should not have walked. India didn’t even appeal, and would have thought seriously before reviewing it.
