This will be a tie
ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

When was the last time India chased 330+? Will be near impossible without Dhawan at the top.
Bumrah is stunning. Exemplary consistency
Will take that score, always hard to keep momentum when batsman get out. 92 from the last 10 so will take that.
If India win that would be because of Bumrah.
Good score. Should be a fun watch.
The magic number is 6 in football.
Unfortunate that you're 6 short of that magic number in cricket.
2013?
Lot of difference chasing 338 and chasing 350 or plus makes psychologically . Good restrictive bowling by bumrah.
Stokes has won the match for england.
Only positive about this chase is we don't have much pressure as we're in a good position.
How long till India bat?
20 mins
The consistency is awesome. Showed against Pakistan too.
Good score. Got to see out first 5-6 overs. Good pitch for both Rohit/Virat to work their magic.
Nope. Bumrah just happens to be an incredible death bowler. Shami isnt..
If teams go slogging, especially with the boundary on one side being under 60m, Shami is going to struggle.. Its high risk-high reward.. That's why he gets the wickets too. Fair trade off.. Not a death bowler.
Bumrah is the best bowler in the world... He bowled 5 overs of the last 10.. Fast bowlers dont often bowl 5 out of the last 10.. Bumrah is a freak.
Shami bowled some absolutely filthy balls but Bumrah made up for it. Pretty sure India would have taken 336 after the Carnage in the first 15 overs
cheers. Concentrate on GP for a bit then.
Massive tactical mistake by England in the middle. Buttler batting higher up would have forced India to use up some Bumrah overs . Root on the other hand allowed India to get away with Pandya & spin while holding Bumrah back . Should have got 360-380
India should use England's Sam Allardyce tactics (narrow the pitch, play long) to their advantage. Don't panic as bowlers cannot take wickets on this tarmac, batsmen can only hand it to them on a platter. Looking forward to watching how they handle this. Makes a change as I usually want them to lose.
30 mins I think
Had a couple of misfields today as well which shouldn't happen. Hope Virat is on that
Agreed. Shami has not been bad, he just had the proverbial game of two halves. Good in the middle, poor at the death.
Will be very interesting to see who opens, don't think Rahul is fit to open. If Pant opens, he can take the game away from England very quickly. At the same time India can easily be 0/1
One of Rohit or Kohli needs to bat till the end otherwise it's going to be very very difficult.
326 chased against WI in 2018
331 against Aus in 2016
356 against England in 2017
Don’t see any of that happening today.
Nah supposed to be a flat wicket with short boundaries. India can get this. Bangladesh have shown that chasing 300+ isn’t impossible in the World Cup
That said very poor bowling at the death by Shami though. He and Bumrah were night and day those last 6 overs. Shami was far too expensive but took wickets Bumrah very economical and kept the scoring in check single handedly.
This pitch is tailor made for Rohit. He should go all out here.
Think that whomever batted first was going to win this match and that India won't chase this. With that said, I think India can take positives from this innings as I believe any other bowling attack would have conceded 350+.
Need to sort out the review situation as well
Last 2 overs by shami was poor. India would be a tad disappointed for not restricting them under 320 especially considering Bumrah was phenomenal. Having said that after 25 overs it seemed england would have score 360 so india would take it.
There was only that Roy glove that should have been reviewed, dont remember any others (mind you that cost 50 runs). Although it's been more of an issue in previous matches.
On this pitch & ground with the England attack and India not being under much pressure it shouldn't be that difficult tbh . The boundary on one side is just ridiculous
Haha wow look they're making fun of Nasser. So unique. Hes a better commentator than literally any other Englishman.
Yup was kind of a general comment. There seems to be some confusion as to who makes the call.
A chase this big will be hard for any side. That's why the toss is so crucial.
Agreed, think having multiple captains out there doesn't make it easy to always come up with a consensus.
Rohit will make 150
