ICC Champions Trophy 2017

India is still not confident about their pace bowlers. Any other team would have used pace bowlers when both of these batsmen were new to the crease to trigger a collapse but India is still looking at them as runs containing bowlers.
 
This match reminds me of when Sri Lanka almost chased down India score of 414 but lost by 3 runs when they finished on 411 lol.
 
It's Sri Lanka's game to lose now. Brilliant batting. India under pressure for the first time since the warm ups. This will make the Ind-SA match so much more interesting.
 
India have lost this (barring a miracle). So disappointed. In hindsight, Rohit and Dhawan's slow start cost us probably 20-25 runs. This pitch deserved a 350. Cant say anything about Ashwin because Jadeja was tripe today and being another spinner, I am not sure Ashwin would have caused magic.

The next two games in this group will be QF. One of the two big shots (India or SA) is expected to be eliminated. One of the underdogs (SL or Pakistan) is expected to qualify.

Kedar Jadhav is an absolute liability. He is SO effin casual!!!

Jadhav was bad on the field in the Pakistan game too. Maybe time for Karthik to step in?
 
Perera is retired hurt. Can this turn out like that Champions Trophy game against SA in 2002 where Gibbs was retired hurt and SA shockingly lost to us? Hope so
 
Well, this is interesting. Perera was going well, but Gunaratne is a capable finisher.
