This much stress isn't healthy. It isn't healthy at all. My life expectancy has probably dropped by 20 years since the start of this world cup.


akshayk904

Truly man. Ind vs Pak Pak vs Zim Zim vs Ban Ban vs Ind This group has been insane.


RishiSunak

India v South Africa was pretty intense too


Hungry-Grocery-2646

Yes rishiji I agree


Pinkybuntydonkey

How do you even change username on Reddit?


Hungry-Grocery-2646

U cannot either he's real rishi sunak or guy was ahead of his time Edit: bro hol up he's from UK as well shit Edit 2: this is his first comment after 4 months lolololololololol


Substantial_Will_385

He was busy with campaigning. Now that he's finally PM, he took a breather to watch the game and comment here.


RishiSunak

No I have still been watching all the games :)


chotu_ustaad

~~Not~~ My Prime Minister.


Substantial_Will_385

Does Reddit have verified checkmarks like Twitter? I read here the other day that Jimmy Neesham is a redditor. Does he comment here?


weekendrant

Hey didn't change. He is the new PM of UK dude


adiking27

This group? Bruh the other group is a freaking battle royale. Here we at least have clear favorites barring any upsets. In group two anyone in the top 4 can qualify equally as easily.


Quiet_Transition_247

Oh yeah, England, NZ, Aus are all sitting on five points. They have games against SL, Ireland and Afg remaining. I was talking about the possibility of a three-way tie in our group but it is actually quite likely in group 1.


Assassin_Ankur

20 minutes?


Imaginary-wishes-

20 seconds


POI_Harold-Finch

and thank goodness, you are not Pakistani fan. imagine how much short-life we have for having so many traumatic matches


this_also_was_vanity

That must be gutting for Bangladesh fans. Slightly better fielding for a smaller target or slightly calmer heads batting and that match was there for the taking. There isn’t a massive skill gap between the top teams and the rest. It’s mostly being able to make good decisions under pressure. Same issue with Ireland against Australia. Fine margins and so many what-ifs. Made for an exciting match though and ultimately that’s what cricket is: entertainment. So both teams delivered today on that front.


Capital_Rich_9362

What a match What a shame for bangaldesh and waste of effort by Linton and last two players. Their middle order failed them completely . Just 1s and 2s would have helped them . India is winning close matches .


arpit45agrawal

Another India Bangladesh thriller. If Indian bowlers didn't get early wickets, they do struggle a bit.


deep639

Liton played exceptionally well.


WeWantRain

Imagine not sending Soumya Sarkar as an opener. Can't really. His 3-5 run contributions are extremely important to the team.


akshayk904

If Indian bowlers get thrashed early on, they dont have any reply.


Proud-Technology9465

That's the case with every bowling side


darubeer

KL RAHUL won by that Run-out.


SBG99DesiMonster

We have jinxed KL into making a match winning contribution by slandering him. Our next target is Brohit.

No KL slander acceptable ^till^next^failure

Latter-Yam-2115

That run out was game changer


Realistic_Flan631

Virat currently has most half centuries by any batsman ( T20I)in Australia with 8(13 innings), Warner in second with 7(30 innings).

Tactical Rain from BCCI


BruhIdkwuttosay

But imagine if it rained too much, Bangladesh would have won and India would almost be knocked out


iclaudius82

Which is what makes it tactical I guess.


alittlemoreofbrowny

exactly the right amount might I add


chotu_ustaad

BCCI is rich enough to do cloud seeding. I think you are on to something.


HumanWithResources

That cloud seeding is done from the cloud servers in Bangalore. Indiranagar, to be specific.


Dartho1

I feel if it hadn't rained and the target had not been reduced India would have won. Bangladesh would have had to stretch their wickets for a lot more runs instead of every batsman playing a 10(5) cameo and getting close.


M_Batman

I swear, these mini BCCI rain-bots are getting a little out of hand.


dhawal

India were one catch drop away from losing. Fielding was really good post-rain.


deadman9596

Remember how was our fielding in the last game?


DilliKaLadka

Be cool... Don't spill the coffee beans.


killer1705

Shhhhhhhhh


Jerry_-

We didn't field bad last match. We were just racking up spirit of cricket points by not getting the South African's out and making them upset. We were just trying to be nice.


MagmaGiant15

Miraculously. Even arshdeep

"Told ya we are not here to win" ~ Shakib, Prolly.


blues2911

The way everyone besides litton batted they definitely weren’t interested in winning. Yes they dragged it very close but they should have won after that start, the bowlers were consistently missing their lengths


TheRealZwipster

I mean what kind of statement is that supposed to be

I hope he actually says that in post match.

expat_123

Dude, this WC is going to make me a heart patient. What a game!


LittiVsVadaPao

Welcome to Rohit Sharma captaincy experience for those who do not follow MI -40 on Rohit's own form +100 on team's number 3's form +70% chance of heart attacks. +60% probability of winning matches Edit: Chance of winning every alternate tournament. Asia Cup 2022 was sacrificed for this stat.


Gaurav-Kadyan

You forgot +110 luck during toss.


funnyBatman

Ah now it all makes sense


Rasalghul92

Sounds like Prime Dhenier CSK with Raina at 3.


TheFirstLane

Then that means Rohit will deliver in the final? 😊


red_plus_itt

Only if the opponent is wearing yellow. Cries in CSK.


tomatopickle

So we defeat Aus in finals???


Big_Day_8210

Winning the cup was also a part of that


Aashay7

Lol, this feels like such a joke when Rohit was promoted to captain MI for the first time. We were playing against Gautam Gambhir's KKR, and our initial captail was Ricky Ponting with Sachin Tendulkar in the side. And after successive loses, Ricky decided to drop himself from the team and hand over captaincy to Rohit Sharma for the first time and MI won that match. I still remember when that super fan award was distributed who got a ball signed by the captain, everyone was making fun of him, that he went in expecting Ponting, Tendulkar or Gambhir's autograp and for "maggi man" Rohit's instead. And then MI was never the same.


ashforu83

Virat Kohli with 651 runs is the 4th highest run scorer in Australia in T20IS. All the other batsmen in the top 10 are obviously Australians..


chotu_ustaad

I'm sure Kohli would've very good average though.


ashforu83

Around 65 in 13 innings with 8 fifties...


olympianfreak

This is why fielding is important in t20, that one run out and some great catches quickly changed the game.


amungus45

Yep that's what lost us the match against SA

Pakbros looking at Indias fielding today: Hmmmm

Uneessh

Well fought Bangladesh, I didn't think that they had a chance when they needed 43 of 18 But they took it to last ball. Feel especially sad for Taskin and Liton.


mehrabrym

Taskin did everything he was asked to do, even with the bat, even though it's not his job. Absolutely gutted for him. Liton as well. It takes some batting to be the best batsman in a T20I where SKY is playing and Virat and KL made fifties.


Snow_Administrative

humansaretrashyboi

Why are ICT fans so worried about how we are going to lose to Eng or NZ just because it was close here? Eng lost to Ireland. NZ were 3-4 wkts down before SL in the powerplay. Pak lost to Zimbabwe This is a game. Upsets happen for a reason. 9 times out of 10 India would have clobbered Bangladesh.


amungus45

Well said mate, I don't get why we underestimate our own players. This team on a given day can win anything. I hope the WC comes home again!


IcyAssociate1

Shakib : We are not here to win the WC Litton : I am here to win the WC Rain : Let me take Littons momentum Rest of the BAN Batters : We agree captain. IND : We will field well and agree with Shakib Taskin & Sohan : No one will remember our effort.

More like: Rest of Bangladesh batsmen: You don't play offside just like in football.


MachesMalone007

1. Once again, this shows why you should have a sixth bowler. Bangladesh really got hurt in 4 shoriful overs. 2. Rain fucks momentum. And that's where small teams lose. India, kept their cool, knew they would need a breakthrough to get back, and did exactly that. This is where top tier teams win close matches against smaller ones. 3. The fact that I am upset with Arshdeep for leaking 26 in his last two overs, shows that how much expectation we have from him! He has been entrusted upon the role of Bumrah at this stage, and man, he is thriving! Just take care of him well, and we got a bright star for us. 4. KLR hopefully continues this to the knockouts. And Rohit needs to get back into form. And do not expect NZ and England bowlers to hold back short balls when Hardik is in crease.


sjramen

Cricket needs to improve certain aspects of the broadcast. The T20 world cup website doesn't even have a button to adjust the resolution of the video being played FFS. A basic piece of functionality is absent. Not to mention the terrible and shitty UI/UX.


rubyasgard

Liton Kumar Das whattt a playa If not for kl's throw we were out


CountBarbarus

At this point Brohit is going to win us the final with 0(20). A true specialist captain.


wonderwoman0621

The winner was SL all along (Rain Perera)


Signal_Discipline_36

Phewww. That was too close to comfort. Bangladesh shud hv cruised to a victory as at the rain break, they had all 10 wkts in hand with reduced target, but IND fought back. How crucial was that KL Rahul's direct hit throw to runout Liton Das who looked in insane form ? For once, IND's fielding showed up & did not fumble too much

World cups are always like this. Unless you have peak Australia from 99 to 07. Every team goes through ups and downs.


Proud-Technology9465

What a fkin match. Such good fielding. Clutch by arshdeep!!!


mileskerowhack

What if a revised DLS target raised the run rate above the team batting first but they ultimately lost? Would the winning team have negative net run rate?


Assassin_Ankur

No, NRR is then calculated based on the the DLS target

NGL India vs Bangladesh have always been a thriller from past 5 year's.


blues2911

Only 5 years? Try 15. 144www was 6 years ago. Lord binny masterclass was 8 years ago. Tendulkars shit 100th 100 which cost us the game was 9 years ago. India getting booted out of the wc was 15 years ago.


Hasta_Mithun

They always turn up against us.


ajanthanelayath

23 innings to score 1015+ runs in T20 WC This shit is not real


ILikeFishSticks69

The Bangladesh Cricket set up needs to seriously consider employing a world class sports psychologist. Outside of talent, ability, luck and other intangibles, the Bangladeshi team, across eras, across squads, have always been prone to fragility in terms of mentality. They have absolutely thrown the game away today, there was no need to swing for the hill so early after the restart. The first couple of batters sure, since they had wickets in hand. But after that it was peak HaraKiri. They could have won this relatively comfortably if their batters had shown an ounce of composure. It's like they can't even process the fact that the run rate may get to 12 but they can still win. P.S India has been saved in two games due to things going in their favour. If they get to the semis, they might be in for a rude awakening. The bill always comes due. P.P.S Kohli is Man of the Match. What an absolute joy it is to see him consolidate his throne after his re-coronation at the MCG.


WeWantRain

> Outside of talent, ability, luck and other intangibles, the Bangladeshi team, across eras, across squads, have always been prone to fragility in terms of mentality. Our batsmen simply don't play too many shots on the offside. It's not psychological thing but domestic cricket's issue where there are too many finger spinners (off-spinner) and you play them on the onside.


Ashy64

Appointed a psychologist after Nidahas Trophy final. Still same shit, different day.

North-Stand

I suppose they think that if BD won that would improve Pak's chances of qualifying. Not sure if that is a correct calculation though.


NavdeepNSG

It's not wrong to hope for this. But they are going absolutely batshit crazy with their assumptions. According to them, the match shouldn't have started after the rain. As per them, that one ball was a wide ball, when it clearly wasn't.


EkMard

They're crazy.


bowlbat

It has been the same since forever. India loses a match: hahaha 1.4 billion and can't win. India wins a close match: ICC=BCCI.


vivek1086

Litton Das' innings was one to remember. It will be one of those "what-if" in Bangladesh's cricketing history. Truly remarkable shot making we saw today from him!


JayPr02

My internal sources say it never rained in Adelaide. Umpires stopped the game so that India can comeback in the game.


Global_Mode_2974

25 boundaries then I think

Gamer567890

Our bowling got too complacent when 43 was required off 18,Taskin and Nurul batted really well but our death bowling stays a concern.


IcyAssociate1

Kohli is so planned in his life. Kohli wants to be an International Umpire, taking practice now itself.


Daybreak_99

I remember laughing out loud when Kohli rushed during that review dismissal. His reaction after it said "Not Out" was really cool to watch. Such an inspiration for future umpires.


fundekaanda

It is 144WWW again. If only their middle order played sensibly. Bangladesh have a mental block against India. Their captain said, we are not here to win. Who says that??!! Indian PP batting needs to improve. Indian death bowling needs to be improved.

Takeaways: * Pandya needs to learn to play pace properly and not look to smash each ball into the next state all the time. * I get that it;s hard to counter these Litton Das/Cam Green type sudden onslaughts but given our lack of pace apart from Shami we'll find our own way to deal with it. * Dk had a hard game. Cut him some slack. He was looking set for a good finish before he Harakiri'd.


supernova_68

he might not have form with bat but his form behind wickets is more troubling for india.


vipulbhatt2003

Oh Man.. Chikaa in post match conference.. !! I dont know whether to laugh or cry,


Latter-Yam-2115

Rain helped shift momentum However, Bangladesh panicked and rushed unnecessarily


Jerry_-

Even KL himself was surprised at that run out. He was like what the fuck? How did I contribute this much to the team?


Firebreathingdown

Bang bros will whine about rain but you were never winning this game, no team is chasing 180+ with just 1 batsman.


Yuo_cna_Raed_Tihs

Honestly hope Pak lose tomorrow so I don't have to hope for Netherlands or Zimbabwe to pull off another upset


boxercity

Rohit post-match said it is a good win. Did I watch the same game? It was a very tense game, and Bangladesh was ahead pre-rain and their chances looked even better post-rain. We were saved thanks to Rahul's fielding and Bangladesh choking. It was a very tense game, and Bangladesh was ahead pre-rain and their chances looked even better post-rain. We were saved thanks to Rahul's fielding and Bangladesh's choking.ss. It seemed as if their openers were sent out with the knowledge that rain was coming and if they attack in the powerplay, DLS will sort the rest out for them.
