Another failure by KL is good news for India
ICC T20 World Cup 2022

Having Surya at 4 is leaving runs out there.. he is the world's best #3..
India is not winning anything with this top 3.
Australian pitches being a bit spicy at least gives some chances but would have zero chance on English or Indian flat pitches with this approach.
If you're ending 2 down against Netherlands at a run rate of 9, it means you did something wrong. We'll win probably but that wasn't a good performance.
He's fine at 4 tbh. It's much harder to find a quality 4 than it is to find a quality top 3.
But they need to get rid of that waste of space at the top
Well yes, it is Netherlands. They won’t win against SA or in the semifinals with this level of batting.
They need to be far more aggressive at the top. Shaw should be a certainty in opening for India in T20s tbh
If I was the selector my T20 top 5 would be
Pant
Shaw
Kohli
SKY
Hardik
That looks like a T20 batting line up. You blitz at the top, consolidate with Kohli and then blitz at the bottom.
That’s a great lineup assuming Pant can hack it in T20s - otherwise need a different leftie to open.
Good teams dominating poor sides today. Shame this tournament couldn't build on the fantastic IND v PAK game on Sunday as it still feels flat.
If the rain stays away tomorrow AUS v ENG might get the excitement going.

Wade has tested positive for Covid but will be allowed to play tomorrow?! What’s the point of testing if they can still play 
Solid start from Zimbabwe.
Bowling hasn’t been great so far. Too full when there’s no swing.

Ireland also played Dockrell a couple of games ago despite testing positive. They have to travel separately and not use the same changing room.

Expensive over from Naseem so far.
Pakistan’s fielding back to its usual standard.
Zimbabwe collapsing. 4 wickets, 6 balls, 0 runs 
Proper collapse this, going to be another dull game though
What an implosion by Zimbabwe!
To be fair, Pakistan have got 4 bowlers all bowling 90+ mph! If they brought Husnain in as well, that would be 5 of them on 90+!

If they brought Husnain in as well, that would be 5 of them on 90+!In my 30+ years of watching Pakistani cricket one thing has never changed and that’s the amount of catches they put down in the field. It’s genuinely baffling.
In fairness to Zimbabwe after that ridiculous collapse to post 130ish isn't a bad effort. Need a miracle but not impossible.
Excellent from Rauf & Wasim.
Need to get the win but also a great chance to improve the NRR here.

Can you imagine how formidable they would have been if they even took half of them catches. Their bowlers would have significantly better figures as well!
Exactly!
It seems Pakistan is not bothered with NRR
Edit: Babar gone!

And now Rizwan gone! This might get interesting...
Pakistan in a pickle.
If they were chasing another 30 runs (maybe more) I'd be concerned for Pakistan.
Right now they're still huge favourites, chasing 107 in 87 with 8 wickets.

Pakistan making a meal out of this run chase. Zimbabwe are a good team to be fair to them.
Pathetic. Bounce is creating a bit of problems but this isn't a difficult pitch to bat on.
They've lost another wicket now, they really need to start and get a partnership together quickly or this could get ugly.
It seems Pakistan used all their intensity against India. This is poor from them.
Pakistan with a little collapse...
Review out of desperation, looked out live.

Woow
That was as plum as you can get! What a terrible review!
32 off 24 needed, but they're into the bowlers. I think Zimbabwe will do this...
Pakistan need some boundaries asap.
Zimbabwe needs wickets here.
This is a horrendous chase by Pakistan. It's like they aren't aware how many they need with only 2 overs left.
11 needed off the final over. All depends on Nawaz...
Wicket!! 3 needed off 1...
Wow
