ICC Champions Trophy 2017

[SaiSrini]

For India's sake, they should hope this is not a 20-over shootout. And they better start picking wickets quickly after they come back because wickets can really increase the DLS target score for Pakistan. Hope Kohli has an eye on the mathematical side of it.

After batting so well, it will be bad luck for India if the match is to be washed out. On the other hand, DLS is so confusing.

 

[SaiSrini]

At the most recent walk off from the field, heard Ramiz Raja says that for every 4.2 mins, we lose 1 over. They went off at 4:22pm and are expected to resume 4:55. Does that mean we have lost 8 overs?

A 41 over match sounds better than a 20 over match, that's for sure. I think the key men India will have to get our are Azam, Malik and Hafeez . They are talented and experienced and can cause troubles for India.

EDIT: Good to see the sunshine out!

 

[SaiSrini]

Not good for India to see that much of sunshine. On a good batting pitch like this with no movement whatsoever, India have to bowl extremely well.

 

[Velocity]

289 from 41 overs is very difficult for PAK considering Azhar Ali is at the crease. He is sure to play many dots and keep pressure on Pakistan. India will need to get a few wickets now.

Sunshine with clear sky and white clouds. Is this the same ground where India batted first?

 

[Velocity]

Sunshine has come out, but in a good and bad way for India, less likely for rain to come again but the sun can flatten out the pitch and make it easier for batting.

 

[SaiSrini]

India might have to bowl Yuvraj and Jadhav more if the sun stays like this. I don't see much swing on offer for the seamers. Seeing the way the pitch has played, it could hurt us not to pick Ashwin

 

[Targaryen]

We will surely miss Ashwin on that wicket. But come on, look at the weather. It was overcast condition and was drizzling and thats the reason why Virat picked Hardik ahead of Ashwin. Nobody were hoping to see such a miracle (yes, I call it a miracle) of weather turn around.

Manjrekar needs a food break. And also give us a break..... please!

We need spin here.

Manjrekar is very annoying to hear. He literally talks for like 10 min straight without even stopping.

 

[Umair7]

Azhar/Babar/Malik are the players that can win this match for Pakistan

 

[ParkedTheBus]

Shehzad cannot take singles, cannot score boundaries and cannot play under pressure. The true heir to the Akmal brothers' throne.

There goes the first one
