Jinxing and anti jinxing. Those things clearly work. Anyway time to get the tarot cards out.
ICC T20 World Cup 2022

Ffs being told the game was over after 6 overs was bad enough, but saying it’s lost at the toss now
India did well this tournament. It’s unfortunate they are going home now. England are getting ready for the trophy presentation after winning the final.
Game set up. England need a good PP but then so do India. Pandya has made it into a tough ask batting second. I'd take the 168 on the board rather than trying to chase it. I'm going to miss the England innings but will watch it when I get back.
Need to get Pogba's witch doctor out.
Reckon England will be 10 all out. India-Pakistan final it is.
No it's not like saying that at all.
If India has set target of say 200, then it would have required a phenomenonal performance from England.
So it's the level of difficulty facing England.
This is normal difficulty. Made harder by the nerves of the stage.
Oh calm down, I'd take England's lineup over most, especially with Buttler at the top and Stokes to come in. Unless they collapse mightily, they have too much batting for India to overcome.
Difference is yesterday Pakistan never let a batter get away and let loose as hit away as Hardik did and they consistently took wickets to slow it down
I'm pretty certain you'll have changed your tune 5 or so overs into England's innings. For a semi-final, that's a decent score.

- these jinx comments are something else.I will not deny the pressure of a knockout game's scoreboard pressure.
I am suggesting those aren't enough given the pitch, the target and the quality and depth of English batting options.

Well yes, had India chased instead, India would have been heavy favorites too. It helps to know what score to get and how the pitch is behaving, especially with the stacked international batting lineups you tend to see.
looking at this objectively, i reckon for england to have a chance of getting to the final they need to score at least 168 from their allocated overs.
I'm sorry but its a ridiculous comment. The England batting has been poor this tournament and they will need a massive improvement to chase this.
The only thing more world class than our batting lineup is our ability to collapse
Ireland (177) against Scotland are the only team to successfully chase a score with a higher total than this in the World Cup.
15+ runs short I feel. Would have put more pressure on England to attack.
That's my worry.
England #batdeep with Adil 10 first class centuries in at 11.
I would back India to chase this down, no one beats Kohli in a chase.
This is the kind of wicket England would’ve needed Root on. They’ve been playing on flat pancakes for years which has benefited statpadding hitters and forced technically great players like Root out.
What's first class centuries got to with it?
It’s just a line commentators use every time England are batting.
Pant coming up so early, already negates any swing? He can't pitch it up now
To be fair Malan has forced Root out but I would pick him in the squad. Offers a good bowling option as well.
Kohli is a clutch player but your point then changes that India would have preferred to chase and that’s it
WUM.
13 off first over. We scored 11 off our first 3.
Great start for England
Aren't you meant to play out a maiden the first over of an innings?
Axar and Ashwin overs are incredibly important you imagine here
Well the toss was irrelevant because apparently India wanted to bat first anyway and England wanted to bowl first.
The ball comes on more with the lights on? Someone tell me how that makes sense
This is what normal T20 batting looks like.
Only slight dew can make it easier for batting team.
Buttler showing how easy it is to bat on this pitch
The dew makes it harder to grip though - especially for spinners. There's no other effect at play
Great batting by England
Its finished. Looks so easy to bat on and we dont have enough.
