2022 T20 World Cup thread
First topic message reminder :
We're now just over a fortnight out from the qualifying round, and team news is ever changing around the teams in the tournament.
Unfortunately today Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the tournament (and a while after) with a back injury. Big blow to India that one, and a World Cup with no Archer/Bumrah (arguably the two best t20 fast bowlers in the world) is a huge shame

159, I think that puts Pakistan ahead at halfway, and a very impressive total from 98/5 when 130 looked in doubt. Only three players in double-digit scores, as well.
India don't bat very deep so early wickets are even more crucial. Expecting Shaheen to find prodigious swing early on.

Re: 2022 T20 World Cup thread
Pak worked themselves to a Par score....
an over from Axar and a bit of foot off the pedal from India helped them
I would still put Ind 60-40 ahead....pak have ton bowl 8 overs of spin

Early wicket for Naseem.
Already seen so many played-on dismissals at this tournament.

Surya is definitely the wicket that Pakistan need.
Rauf gets him

This one has swung back and forth , eh ? Pakistan did well to get to 159 in the end and right now with three down for peanuts in the power play it's looking like a winning score.
So presumably India will now race to victory with overs to spare

Well that is 4 of the 8 overs of spin done with very little damage done.
Very much advantage Pakistan now.

Not much since the last part of the second quarter, alfie... or from around about the 17th over.
It's been pretty much all one-way traffic in favour of Pakistan since then, I'd say.
So India 115 runs off the last 10 overs. That's quite a tall order!

Well certainly all Pakistan once they started bowling...meant the down and up and down and up Pakistan innings really
Still time for a miraculous Indian onslaught though. Have seen some remarkable chases in this format so I'm not calling it yet.
Not putting money on India , mind.... If one of these two gets out I reckon it's curtains for them. Apart from that NZ innings , this WC has been mostly bowler dominated so far...

60 needed off 30, it's getting tighter. Pakistan still have one over to come from Nawaz, which could be problematic, but India only really have Karthik to come after these.

Very good over from Rauf then
Just about assures a Pakistan win , surely ? This ground is too big for a barrage of sixes to finish it ... India have too much to do.

Wow... that game had everything. Pakistan definitely blew that at the end. Amazing knock form Kohli to achieve the almost impossible.
So when a batsman is bowled on a free hit it's not a dead ball and you can take a run or three? I'd never considered that scenario so I guess I've learned something new today.

Re: 2022 T20 World Cup thread
Unbelievable drama as India complete an amazing comeback, and it continues an astonishing tournament. Pakistan really messed up their bowling choices. They essentially gambled on having the game won by the end of the 19th over, but you can't do that, and you can't have a situation where the fifth-bowling spinner (who's already gone for a few) is bowling the last.
In some ways Pakistan were unfortunate. I don't think the no-ball call was right and the three byes that resulted from hitting the stumps on the free hit...I don't think I've seen that before! I hope the umpires got it right as they didn't seem too sure! Nawaz shouldn't have been bowling the last, and I did feel sympathy for him, but bowling that far down the leg side on what should have been the last delivery was unforgivable.
Kohli was immense after a ponderous start and that may have been his finest innings for India. Pandya struggled to play in his usual style, but did enough to stay with him in an anchor role. I was very impressed by Naseem and Rauf, also, but Shaheen didn't turn up and his 0/34 was perhaps a key difference. Pakistan are on the precipice now, though they may take some heart from scoring 159 with practically no contribution from their usually reliable openers.
Mad game. Mad 20th over. Doubt we'll see a better game all tournament.

No reason it should be dead ball on a free hit ... If the batsman is caught in the outfield off it the runs still count so I suppose the same applies to other dismissal forms : unlucky for the bowling team though for the ball to deflect for three !
Arguably didn't matter tonight as if Kohli had stayed on strike I'd have backed him to take the last two balls for six runs anyway . But that crazy last over sort of had a touch of the "Ben Stokes against NZ in the 50 over WC final " about it ...lots of improbable things happening ...

Re: 2022 T20 World Cup thread
One can be critical of Nawaz for those wides under pressure : but as Duty says , he really shouldn't have been bowling the last over. Did get Hardik out too...and bowling at an on fire Kohli with the game on the line was a tough assignment...
In fairness to him , the two previous overs went for the same - and didn't claim any wickets.
You could say Pakistan blew it : but I think I'd prefer to praise Kohli for just refusing to lie down...

Well , actually led to a super over and a peculiar tiebreak rule if you want to split hairs But the "unusual sequence of of events" comparison doesn't seem unreasonable...

Still a tie and then that dreadful count-back rule. Perhaps one of those awful bowl-offs would have been better?
I'm not sure one can compare the unusual sequence of events. In one the ball came off Stokes' bat; in the other it came off the stumps. Two very different scenarios to be fair.

Two rather prosaic games tomorrow - Bangladesh v Netherlands and South Africa v Zimbabwe.
Looks like there could be some rain around for those games. It would be a sizable setback for South Africa if they were to drop a point due to the rain.

Re: 2022 T20 World Cup thread
I had to get away from live TV for last 5 overs of Indian innings....but followed on CI with my heart jumping out
Came back to find last 3 overs footage...and boy it was overwhelming
As heart-stopping as a game in any sport could get for a such a big chunk of humanity.
Redemption for kohli...who many ( me strongly) had written off as having declined for good
India's tactics and team selection was as good under the circumstances
They brought shami who hits 140+ instead of H. Patel's medium pace for Bumrah
and have Ashwin +Axar as spinners who can bat to plug the hole left behind by Jadeja
Chahal is a muck with the bat and ain't exceptional when ball is not gripping...so Ashwin is a good choice, but needs to be hidden at fine or deep square leg as a fielder.
Ind's chase was further complicated by the first ball R.O of Axar....he is capable with the bat against spin and medium pace...and was sent into get a 20odd off 10 balls against Pak spinners
And Ind also don't want to expose DK until the last 3 to 4 overs...that set their assault back for too late...but boy they did plunder 48 off last 3 some how
But what a game
and what an overwhelming joy to finish on the winning side
Ind will need to watch KL over next two games closely else be ready to bring in Pant.
PS* and 160 is a par score when top sides play each other on these Aussie pitches

I saw some of the BD game.
Expectations are off BD to be a challenger to the Big-3 in their group for a s.f spot
They ended up barely staving off the challenge from NED
Ned's bowling is quite handy......an was good to see them compete

No surprise about the Dutch, they'd struggle to chase anything above 120, they have a very curious batting line-up.
Looks like rain will claim SA/Zim which would be hurtful to SA, dropping a point in one they'd have probably considered a banker to win.

Looking less and less likely there will be any play. South Africa really do not have the best runs in situations like this do they. I feel very sorry for them.

Only one game tomorrow - Aus v SL - and the weather looks perfectly fine for that. Must win for Australia.
Wednesday, however, the current forecast for Melbourne, where Ireland play England and NZ play Afghanistan, does not look promising at all. Friday looks wet as well, when Aus are supposed to play England.
Still, these forecasts seem to change hour-by-hour, so maybe things will be alright. Definitely not alright in today's game, though, I expect it to be called off soon.

If they start playing then they can play through the drizzle.

The shorter the game then the greater the chance of an upset.
Batting first might be an impediment, but let's see if Zimbabwe can swing their way up to 100 and pile the pressure on South Africa.

Zimbabwe get 79. Torrid start but Madavhere swung them up to something respectable. Also got to see five penalty runs and the worst review of the tournament!
