ICC T20 World Cup 2022

I thought that was a dead ball, I’ve no idea what’s going on any more

That’s what I thought. It’s not out as a free hit, but surely once it hits the stumps it’s a dead ball.
 
Feel sorry for Nawaz, hard situation to be put in towards the end. Clearly not a death bowler by any means
 
Incredible match! Fair play to Kohli, one of the great innings in this format
 
He bowls a wide after India keep handing him the game? Who's son/cousin/brother is he? :lol:
 
What a game. Pakistan utterly bottled it.

Kohli showed his class. Brilliant knock.
 
I’m not even a cricket fan but was glued to the tv for this. What a game!

Well done India, incredible batting by Kohli. Pakistan bottled that big time when it was their game and were in complete control.
 
Do we know the dead ball after the free hit officially? Keen to clarify.
 
seems like Pakistan carry a bottler in their XI every World Cup. Hassan Ali last time and Nawaz this time.

I'm curious to know this. I've seen lots of times a catch taken and they run, that is allowed. Not sure what the laws are re bowled.

It’s confusing as heck, apparently it’s gone as byes against the keeper who has feck all he could have done to stop it.

Bit harsh on Nawaz, Rauf did his part in throwing the match away. Just defeated by the greatest batsman of his generation.
 
That was quite possibly one of the best games I've ever seen. Pakistan were class. But Kohli turned back time to 2016 and played one of the best innings ever.

It's fine as far as I can see. The rule is the only way to get out is a double hit or a run-out from a free hit so the ball would have been in play rather than a dead ball.
 
Can't take away from either team, was a very good match, Ashwin's ploy to induce the wide was next level brain right there though, love him or hate him

Mate, this is the World Cup. How can you be an international standard bowler and bowl a no-ball AND two wides in a situation like that. Absolutely unforgivable.
 
Afridi going under the radar here he bowled trashy, yes Rauf gave away some runs at the end but overall he did well.

The bigger issue is why Pakistan selected 2 spinners on this pitch. Completely brain dead.
