10:41
PAK 79/2 (20) CRR 3.95
A J
A J
Partnership building up
Attempted jinx?
A J
A J
No. Genuinely
Runs on the last few balls look like a binary number
Shakeel ran 3
Well, it ruined that
Pak 94/2(24)
10:57
If I say PAK look like setting a competitive total, will that precipitate a collapse?
A J
A J
11:13
It's like a Schrodinger's cat experiment
I'm going to say PAK will make 280
A J
A J
250 looking probable
A lot will depend on these two as well as when they get out
Because rest of the batters will come all gun-blazing
You just never know with PAK

Shakeel survives with the umpire's call

Afridi has been way expensive so far.

14:10
@AJ Your estimate was pretty good in the end!

thanks
Gill dropped πŸ™‚
Four from Kohli off Rauf
x 2
14:25
Oh that means he'll be out in a few balls then
If history is any guide
πŸ™‚
Ind 89 - 1 (15)
Whatever it is, it would be easy sailing for India unless some miracle happens for Pak.
Really leaning into the jinx there, buddy
A J

IND 98/1(17) RRR 4.33
@PaulWhite yup he did
100 up

A J
πŸ”΄Shubman Gill b Abrar Ahmed 46(52)
14:38
Life curse undefeated
Truly remarkable how often that happens
Almost like the batsman feels guilty
IND 100/2 (17.3)
A J
A J
IND 109/2(20)
How come Kohli hasn't edged a ball outside off yet
What's going on here
@PaulWhite 🀣

Four from Kohli off Rauf
A J
A J
@PaulWhite because there is no fielder to catch?
Ind 115 - 2 (21)
14:52
@AJ 🀣 probably 🀣
@AJ wait they didn't set any fielders at slip?
@User1865345 nice
A J
A J
@User1865345 nope. I didn't see anyone after the end of pp1
I see.
You'd think there would be a ring
Or just one man where he always edge-drives to
14:54
Or that he is playing cautiously.
Kohful shot selection
I mean the pressure is less. Bowling has no lethal factor. So why should he take a risk?
That is true, but he cannot help himself, usually
That's true too. Let's see how far he can resist that.
Not that I want him to get out that way - it's just funny when he does
He'll probably make a century today
14:56
Yes
@PaulWhite surely if he can go with this pace.
@AJ Do you still think this is a decent PAK side?
Feels like a bit of a warm-up match at this point
Four from Iyer off Rauf
A J
A J
Yes but they haven't been that effective recently
@PaulWhite they never looked good in this tournament so far.
A J
A J
@PaulWhite there is too much politics
Khushdil Shah is a good addition to the team
IND 123/2(23.2)
14:59
@AJ Fair
I think yesterday's match was a thriller. Today's one is turning out to be one sided.
A J
A J
Although, they are certainly missing Zaman
@AJ is he injured?
A J
A J
Yes
A J
A J
15:02
He was injured in the first game
Imam was his replacement
@User1865345 Yes, ENG v AUS was very good
I see.
@PaulWhite felt bad for Duckett
Indeed. Not often you'll score that many in an ODI and not get MoM
πŸ¦†@
That's the new official abbreviation for Duckett btw
15:04
πŸ˜…
AJ's work
IND 126/2 (25) CRR 5.04 RRR 4.64
A J
A J
CRR is getting closer to RRR
I think at this point, it really doesn't matter much.
πŸ‘πŸ» fifty for Kohli
@AJ 🀣🀣🀣🀣
Ind 136 - 2 (27)
15:12
ha ha ha
Akram is enjoying.
sort of
πŸ˜…
A J
A J
He might have gotten run out by Inzamam during his time
Inzi was infamous for that
Like Ross Taylor
A J
A J
15:15
I didn't know
Yeah, was always tense watching him bat with someone valuable
Ran KW out a few times
A J
A J
Ohh
He wasn't terrible for it, but it was noticeable
A J
A J
Inzi was more terrible I guess
15:17
Inzi has become a meme for his bizarre antics.
@AJ surely.
@PaulWhite wait Faf and Abd too.
Four from Kohli off Afridi
He got run out a lot too
A J
A J
My cousin just met Ricky Ponting. Shared a photo with him over social media
150 up for IND
@AJ Nice!
@AJ πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»
@PaulWhite KS 8 times πŸ™‚
All by Ross, no doubt

Iyer dropped
Now I am scared
πŸ† V Kohli: 50 off 62 balls (4 x 4)
Missed that

15:23
IND 160/2(30) RRR 4.11
Soon to be /3 it seems
A J
A J
IND can bat deep today in case you missed it πŸ€ͺ
Oh good
Always better when India bat Deep

The life curse may be less effective when the dropping team has lost hope

Tomorrow is Ban vs NZ
5 mins ago, by User1865345
Four from Iyer off Khusdil
BAN are often tricky
A J
A J
If NZ wins tomorrow, Pak will be out
They have the potential but I don't think they are dark horse. NZ could have an easy one.
@AJ wow πŸ™‚
A J
A J
15:28
Not to mention they have spent a good time on Pak pitches
Surely Pak never got the mojo
Hm
Ind 175 - 2 (32)
Ind 179 - 2 (33)
A J
A J
IND 185/2(34) RRR 3.56
Anyone remember when PAK v IND used to be tense?
A J
A J
Last year's T20I world cup game and that game before that
Oh, I see Kohli went past 14,000 ODI runs
A J
A J
15:40
I believe T20Is have been close ones.
@PaulWhite I remember the 2015 wc one.
A J
A J
ODIs often were one-sided
IND 189/2(35) RRR 3.53
IND 200/2(36) RRR 3

πŸ‘πŸ» fifty for Iyer
Ind 203 - 2 (37)
πŸ† SS Iyer: 50 off 63 balls (4 x 4, 1 x 6)
Just to add the stats
A J
A J
Missed that
15:54
Partnership crosses 100
I see Kohli was fastest to 14,000 ODI runs going past Tendulkar
They score faster these days, I suppose
A J
A J
IND 209/2(38) RRR 2.75
33 runs needed from 72 balls
A J
A J
@PaulWhite True
Kohli needs 16 runs
A J
A J
15:57
But can't surpass him in the tests
A J
A J
For the same reason I guess
@AJ uff that nudge to the ball. That is more habitual in test format.
A J
A J
That life curse took some time to take effect
πŸ”΄ Shreyas Iyer 56 (67) c Imam-ul-Haq b Khushdil Shah (38.5)
@AJ A slow-burner fuse on that one
A J
A J
15:59
Yup
I guess the milestone curse made that fuse burn faster

Pandya comes in to deny Kohli a century

Looks so
Four from Pandya off Afridi
@PaulWhite he has a knack of it.
A J
A J
16:05
Pandya goes
πŸ”΄ Hardik Pandya 8 (6) c Mohammad Rizwan b Shaheen Shah Afridi (39.6)
Afridi was varying the pace.

Great review!

@PaulWhite πŸ˜…
They have nothing left.
Embarrassing really
The match is all but over.
A J
A J
Kohli said to Rizwan that it edged. Let's get on with the game.
16:09
It's been over for a while
Ind 225 - 4 (41)
@AJ they have no game left 🀣
@PaulWhite yes
What's the point in taking a review when the batsman says he hit it and the game is lost
What are you hoping for? The third umpire to make a mistake?
Just to deny a possible century?
Pointless
πŸ™‚πŸ™‚
15 needed only
Afridi πŸ™„+1
πŸ˜‘
16:12
Afridi πŸ™„
PAK hoping to deny the century with extras now
They have incurred so many wides today.
@PaulWhite πŸ€£πŸ™‚
Kohli 90*
Afridi πŸ™„
I think it is intentional now.
Looks that way
16:13
How sad
Kohli on 92* with 7 runs needed to win
Bad sportsmanship. Although chances are slim for a century.
94* now, 5 needed
A πŸ™ŒπŸΌ would do it
IND 238/4 (42) RRR 0.5
Kohli needs 5, IND need 4
Single taken
Kohli needs 4, IND need 3
Axar takes a single
Kohli needs 4, IND need 2
BOUNDARY to win!
πŸ† V Kohli: 100 off 111 balls (7 x 4)
IND 244/4 (42.3)
A J
A J
51st century
IND won by 6 wickets (with 45 balls remaining)
2
Kohli won by 9 wides
A J
A J
πŸ˜‚
16:18
> Kohli hits the winning runs, gets to his century as well!
Actually, there were 11 wides, but who's counting
Perfect end to the game
Added some much needed excitement
Exactly
A J
A J
True
I suppose NZ will lose to BAN and PAK will squeak though on NRR
A J
A J
πŸ˜‚
16:27
Kohli MoM
PAK NRR -1.087
A J
A J
It would be very typical for them to get it well past of NZ
@PaulWhite good one.
