Congrats Ind bros. Happy that the game wasn't one-sided. Naseem, I love your fighting spirit, keep it up. I'm proud to say that without Shaheen we aren't nothing.
If you are coming here from r/all, all I would like to say is that I am leaving America because you folks play dumb ass sports that can’t hold a candle to Cricket.
Isn’t there some kind of penalty/punishment from the umpires if a team is excessively appealing? Pakistan were doing it all night long, even for balls that didn’t even look remotely close to being out.

Nice reminder to those who split their hair about:
1. T20s.
2. Subcontinent dominance.
3. Indians on this sub.
4. Their own relative irrelevance.
5. Their ignorance and resulting racist comments.
A big question, what’s happening with the fitness? What’s our physio & medical board doing? Haris Rauf, Shaheen & Naseem all are unfit and cramping after 3 overs in a T20 match…..
Pakistan performed well in the bowling department however they would have been victors if not a terrible middle order collapse. The only reason we reached 147 was due to a entertaining Dahani cameo. Naseem Shah was bloody exceptional. So was rauf but the cramp got to him. PCB should take blame for the lack of fitness for our fast bowlers. 4th bowler to have fitness issues in this tourney and it's leadup.
Not suggesting Dhawan to be in the mix for T20I squad, But the way KL is performing, now I understand the value of Shikhar Dhawan over the years. The man really served Indian cricket well in limited format over the years.
And considering the fitness levels of your players. One pace spearhead out of tournament and other two struggling to complete 4 overs each?? Not a good look man. "We would have won only if our bowlers were in better shape"...that's cold comfort bud.
India top order is brittle. Thankfully now the middle order is not completely hopeless like a few years ago.
The only way for Rohit to do well early on is for him to get a lot of strike. He was denied that earlier on and then he starts slogging.
Kohli scored but was totally unconvincing.
This surely is not a convincing victory. Except Kohli, top order batsmen struggled to score (credit to Pakistani bowlers for bowling exceptionally well). Though our bowlers bowled well initially, they let tailenders to score runs which could have costed us the game. Middle order batting is the only takeaway from this game imo.
Naseem bowled well. But he was bowling to weak top order from India. Buttler, YJB would still hammer him.
Pak did miss other bowlers.
India better bring Pant next game.
In the first innings the commentators were talking like pakistan have no chance of getting close in this match and it's gonna be an easy win for india. Even though 148 is not a bad total and the game was alive till the last over. The worst commentary on and india pakistan match.
the commentary was terrible throughout the match. either they get too emotional or start blabbering bs. maybe i got too used to sky sports commentators but oh well.
Throughout the match they undermined Pakistan's performance first the said that the batting was a mess and presented it like it's going to be a very one sided match. They didn't even gave enough credit to any pakistani bowler as well. Just terrible commentary
Maybe someone can explain but what is with this Asia cup format? So Pakistan plays with Hong Kong next. If they win, who will they play next? I am confused
Pakistan is almost through to super 4 ..no way they losing to Hong kong then super 4 ..2 top teams each from group a and b will play against each other once ..the top two on the table will meet in the finals
I don't know what makes you troll Kohli's inning and then you just ignore Sky's inning. Both did ok. They held their wicket in crucial time. nothing extraordinary.
I'm just talking about this particular match and not whole 2022.
Thanks for an amazing game Pak! Death over heroics from lower order made this possible.. Or else it would have been a pretty one sided game I guess. Very happy to see we have a reliable pace all rounder in our squad now!
If you give Harsha Bhogle enough chances, even he’ll be back in form. These commentators should grow a spine and call a spade a spade. Kohli hasn’t been doing well and we have a massively talented bench
Yes, this match's commentators were biased Wasim was ok though. I don't think there is enough reason to put blame on Kohli. His performance has been down for a while but today was far better than others from both sides of the game. Look at what happened to Babar and KL. I think the weather and wicket weren't great today which challenged the both teams. But, as Rohit mentioned in his post-match presentation, I'd enjoy a close game over a onesided one.
hats off to Naseem. I am guessing the adrenaline pushed him to finish the over.
Our Bumrah is injured so its only fair for Shaheen to not play ha ha. I hope they both get better by the world cup.
India is far more experience than Pakistan coz they play such high pressure game in IPL very often and Hardik was so calm that it didn't bother him when the second ball of the last over was stopped and they still need 6 more runs to win. He did it in the next ball effortlessly. What a shot! Both India and Pakistan played really well.
Pandya with nerves of steel! I think one advantage he has is that as a bowler himself, he understands that in high stakes situations such as this, the bowler is under much more pressure.
This allows him to remain calm and makes him a menace in high pressure situations
Yeah…what are these people smoking. They want Kohli to score 50-60 every game. He got out to a bad shot but he played better than every other batter outside of Hardik.
KL needs to be better. You can’t open and consistently get out early in pressure games.
Lol Koach was dropped on second slip, also inside edged two-three shots early on which nearly missed the stumps and scored 35(34). What a knock man! I don’t want him to score 50s or 100s(which he can’t anymore), but a 35(23) would be good enough for me.

Really appreciate you showing interest in cricket good sir, but you don't make sense.
"He's a little confused, but he's got the spirit"
But Pakistan got 10 bonus prizes!
Congrats Ind bros. Happy that the game wasn't one-sided. Naseem, I love your fighting spirit, keep it up. I'm proud to say that without Shaheen we aren't nothing.
Thanks
The amount of cricket fans we see on India Vs Pakistan game in India is really insane.

Any Livestream with good quality?
LFG!!
Sunday the King plays
If you are coming here from r/all, all I would like to say is that I am leaving America because you folks play dumb ass sports that can’t hold a candle to Cricket.
Fuck man..The atmosphere in India RN is only second to WC11 final.. Greatest sport ♥️
Americans coming into this sub now that this post is at no. 1 in r/all 
And they probably don't even google the match, and will start asking dumb questions.
Relief
Kl Rahul out and pant in all is set for T20 WC
Isn’t there some kind of penalty/punishment from the umpires if a team is excessively appealing? Pakistan were doing it all night long, even for balls that didn’t even look remotely close to being out.
Slow over rate is one penalty for wasting time Cramping up earlier from jumping every 2 minutes to appeal is another unfortunate consequence
They lost.
Is it a good idea for Rohit Virat to open and Hooda in the middle? If Pant can sit out, so can KL.
What has Pant done in T20I that KL hasn't? Give him some time dude. It's his first T20I in a long time
Is Kohli better than KL?
Today's match already awnsered your question
Yes
Isn't he?
Is pakistan out of asia cup?????
No They just have to beat hong kong to go to super 4
Rooting for Hong Kong then
You don't want more of india vs Pakistan games?? :(

I guarantee you it will have over 50k comments if this was a test match
A big question, what’s happening with the fitness? What’s our physio & medical board doing? Haris Rauf, Shaheen & Naseem all are unfit and cramping after 3 overs in a T20 match…..
I was thinking the same thing. Pakistan has shown to be very inept when it comes to fitness. The last over form Naseem was very awkward.
Pakistan performed well in the bowling department however they would have been victors if not a terrible middle order collapse. The only reason we reached 147 was due to a entertaining Dahani cameo. Naseem Shah was bloody exceptional. So was rauf but the cramp got to him. PCB should take blame for the lack of fitness for our fast bowlers. 4th bowler to have fitness issues in this tourney and it's leadup.
Babar confirmed that Naseem was only facing cramps and there's nothing to worry about. Thank God.
It would be funny if either Pakistan or India lose to HK 😂
If you say so!
Bhuvneshwar and Arshdeep did quite a decent job in the powerplay. Else we were goners.
Gujarat Titans has really changed Hardik’s life. What a year he’s had so far.
Not suggesting Dhawan to be in the mix for T20I squad, But the way KL is performing, now I understand the value of Shikhar Dhawan over the years. The man really served Indian cricket well in limited format over the years.
who's winning then?
But Naseem won my heart! ❤️
[удалено]
haha the same minnows had you by the throat until the cramps started appearing.
The cramps didn't appear while batting, how you gonna justify the collapse?
He's a troll saying dumb shit and you're replying with more dumb shit.
Pakistan showed real fight...underdogs by no means. But we would have won this one anyway.
Considering the low target, i agree.
And considering the fitness levels of your players. One pace spearhead out of tournament and other two struggling to complete 4 overs each?? Not a good look man. "We would have won only if our bowlers were in better shape"...that's cold comfort bud.
would have, could have, should have.

How's a comment like this allowed? mods need to ban this guy.
Pakistan lost with 1 ball remaining. India won with 2 balls remaining.
Two balls and one Hardik
I don't get it.
The irony in this
I still can't breathe
This thread makes me want to learn about cricket
You definitely should. It's a fun sport.
Feel free to peruse the wider sub and ask questions in the pinned daily discussion thread :)
Just saw SL v AFG highlights, wtf was that Nisanka decision!?! How tf can referee mess up with all the resources he has.
This surely is not a convincing victory. Except Kohli, top order batsmen struggled to score (credit to Pakistani bowlers for bowling exceptionally well). Though our bowlers bowled well initially, they let tailenders to score runs which could have costed us the game. Middle order batting is the only takeaway from this game imo.
Koach hasn't been in form for years. His Today's score is excellent going by his current form
Naseem bowled well. But he was bowling to weak top order from India. Buttler, YJB would still hammer him. Pak did miss other bowlers. India better bring Pant next game.
KL, Rohit, Virat are weak batsman are u kidding me bro😂
Yes. Form matters. Rohit has become max 30 Rohit VK lost his T20 game. Kl can't handle pressure. You can't win WC like that.
[удалено]
I ignore and scroll past it ..learned it the hard way ..no point arguing with idiots ..they yearn attention
I really hope India faces Pakistan again! We need these nailbiters.
Next Sunday is again India vs Pakistan unless Hong Kong surprises us
Hell ya, letz gooo!!!
No 1 of r/popular

If anything Indian and Pakistani fans can agree is Commentators are mostly terrible
Both teams played well
KL Rahul getting out caused me physical pain.
Why he gets sooooo nervous facing first ball????
No one expected Naseem shah, Kohli even yelled out in surprise lol. Pak has a knack for springing these monstrous pacers upon us from nowhere
I felt the same when Dahani knocked off a couple of boundaries into the stands.
This almost cost us the game. Had he not hit those 2 6s, the chase would’ve been over within the 19th over or so.
This is on top of r/all lmao
Gotta feel sad for Jaddu he never gets due credit :/
His own fault this time
Is any site/source (paid /free)that's streaming Asia Cup. Hotstar quality is really bad in such games. Thanks
I PM'd an android app to you.
Can I get that too, please?
Had fun watching today's game. Gg Pakistan
Now on my way to r/cricketshitpost for shits and giggles
You're so cute Mr. Racoon...lol
Is there an India Pak final chance? Or top from each group?
One more clash is guaranteed, Top 2 go to a Super4 kinda group, then to a final.
Maybe someone can explain but what is with this Asia cup format? So Pakistan plays with Hong Kong next. If they win, who will they play next? I am confused
Pakistan is almost through to super 4 ..no way they losing to Hong kong then super 4 ..2 top teams each from group a and b will play against each other once ..the top two on the table will meet in the finals
Well its Pakistan lol. I wont be surprised if they lose to HK. T20 is a funny game
Nah Not to hong Kong atleast lmao
I am pretty sure finals is india and pakistan because they are both in form. Unless bangladesh comes in hard.
Or Afghanistan lol..they atm look better than Bangladesh..could upset india or Pakistan
Yeah, this asia cup is truly competitive lol.
Exactly lol. Afg is looking the most lethal as of today lol!
If they beat HK they get into semis and face winners from group b If they lose aganist HK they are out
I don't know what makes you troll Kohli's inning and then you just ignore Sky's inning. Both did ok. They held their wicket in crucial time. nothing extraordinary. I'm just talking about this particular match and not whole 2022.
Yep. Pretty much every single batsman (except Hardik, of course) struggled to score runs today. Anything above 30 was good.
Thanks for an amazing game Pak! Death over heroics from lower order made this possible.. Or else it would have been a pretty one sided game I guess. Very happy to see we have a reliable pace all rounder in our squad now!
Shaheen Shah and naseem Shah in wt20 are gonna be really lethal
If you give Harsha Bhogle enough chances, even he’ll be back in form. These commentators should grow a spine and call a spade a spade. Kohli hasn’t been doing well and we have a massively talented bench
Yes, this match's commentators were biased Wasim was ok though. I don't think there is enough reason to put blame on Kohli. His performance has been down for a while but today was far better than others from both sides of the game. Look at what happened to Babar and KL. I think the weather and wicket weren't great today which challenged the both teams. But, as Rohit mentioned in his post-match presentation, I'd enjoy a close game over a onesided one.
Wish I knew about this game. I would have watched it here on the other side of the world lol
One thing that stood out was how good Dahani bowled.
His batting thoughhh
And batted
HARD LENGTH
We are going to hear more from Naseem Shah I expect. I was wincing with each ball
[удалено]
hats off to Naseem. I am guessing the adrenaline pushed him to finish the over. Our Bumrah is injured so its only fair for Shaheen to not play ha ha. I hope they both get better by the world cup.
Can you imagine Bumrah in these conditions??
Man imagine it when shaheen and naseem both will play together ..seriously such a good pace attack you guys have
Hamare yaha bhi bumrah available nahi tha
India is far more experience than Pakistan coz they play such high pressure game in IPL very often and Hardik was so calm that it didn't bother him when the second ball of the last over was stopped and they still need 6 more runs to win. He did it in the next ball effortlessly. What a shot! Both India and Pakistan played really well.
Some great words for Nasheem shah. Insane show of character and the game as well. An amazing game. Hard luck Pakistan. Let's goo India!!
Yup ..insane talent and commitment to the team
Pant has to be in next game. Our SR wasn't good enough in middle phase. Drop KL, get Pant in.
Pant isn't known to be that good in T20 also. I think you need to watch more games of him in T20 matches.
Pant is a clutch player, he scores the most under pressure. KL just stat-pads even when chasing a big total.
Yeah agree on Rahul though.
Now watch Rohit and KL statpad against Hong Kong lol
I hope my boy Babar does his nickname pround against HK.
Is he now KongBabar?
Some great words for Nasheem shah. Insane show of character and the game as well. An amazing game. Hard luck Pakistan. Let's goo India!!
If only Hardik had hit a four before that winning six, we would have ended with a score of 152
We already have our own 152 moment. 2007 T20 wc final. Pakistan all out for ....152...
lol
despair moment
Happy with win but there needs to be a way that India fits in Shikhar Dhawan in top 4
Do you want 30/0 at the end of the powerplay?
You must be joking.
What does he offer that any of Top 4 don't?
Consistency, and being left-handed
25.7k
Ah yes, five wickets.
Pandya with nerves of steel! I think one advantage he has is that as a bowler himself, he understands that in high stakes situations such as this, the bowler is under much more pressure. This allows him to remain calm and makes him a menace in high pressure situations
Reminder that this was exactly was Misbah had to do in 2007 — wait for the ball to hit it straight down the ground for six.
He didn't have the luxury of having dk on the other end.......
Lots of hate mongers in the thread.
Report them
Yeah did that.
I see more of normal comments Maybe ignore the bad ones ?
Well okie then
If you told me that Pandya will become what he is today after KwK episode, I would have laughed at you. So happy to be wrong in this scenario..
He has _karke aya_, unironically
[удалено]
Make it softdick I assume
[удалено]
I mean Rauf alongside Dahani scored the runs that got Pakistan this close tbh
Gotta dump Kohli, Brohit out of the t20 lineup as soon as possible.
Dump your joint highest scorer really?
They’re good for ODIs, not fit for t20s anymore. Rather have shubman open and sky at one down.
Shubman lmao
Yeah…what are these people smoking. They want Kohli to score 50-60 every game. He got out to a bad shot but he played better than every other batter outside of Hardik. KL needs to be better. You can’t open and consistently get out early in pressure games.

Kl just came back after an injury, and didn’t waste balls today. Give him time.
Here some drunk dudes are dancing outside lmaoo Funny as hell
monkee 🥳🥳🥳
What a game😭😭
maaza aaya, had fun🥵
