Pandya was simply not needed on this pitch.
ICC World T20 2016
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Not really been following it, but given England knocked off 230 yesterday, shouldnt 120 be fairly easy for the indian batters?
Ashwin bowled 3 overs 
Same Indian batters who collapsed for 80 chasing 130 against New Zealand in similar conditions?
Did Dhoni had a pre-game chat with Lvg? His bowling changes made about as much sense as Lvg's subs.
Next, Darmian and Valencia come out to open the batting.

Spin bowled 8 of the 20 overs. Pakistan have 2 spinners who can bowl 8 for them, and much better quick bowlers.
Got 20 odd free runs at the end due to some weird captaincy by Dhoni but the score is still not good enough. Playing 4 seamers on this pitch is criminal. Sami should not be playing international cricket, Wahab is wayward these days and Irfan can go for plenty.
Imad is better than Santner. Just mental that they left out him considering what happened the other day.

Neither team expected this pitch I think.
And India have a far better batting lineup, a freak collapse against NZ doesn't change that.
I still have them as favourites at this point.
Ah right not been keeping up, assumed it was yesterdays pitch for some reason.
It wasn't that hard to predict. Even Rob fecking Key called it before the start.
India have Kohli. The rest aren't that much better than what Pakistan have to offer IMO.
Big man needs to bowl better than that
No swing at all. Our batsmen will like all the pace on offer
Well fielded but agree that pace is not the answer. Bowl cutters.
That's shit. Total shit bowling. feck off
Straight up and down pace bowling. Bread and butter for both these batsmen. Game won't last long if this is his they're going to bowl
That over was worse than any that were bowled yesterday.
Yes Malik!!! Needed that.
Sharma
Rohit deserves that for his earlier remarks about Amir.
Malik again... fecking Sania
That silence Come on, Pakistan!
Come on, Pakistan!Does Irfan have a single functioning brain cell? Why the feck is he bowling at that pace?
Top class from Amir, superb over.
Brilliant from Amir. Need that giant cnut to use some brains now.
Amir is bowling cross seam, seems like the coach couldn't get the same through to Irfan
He bowled cutters to good effect in the PSL final. That was only a month ago. Why not do the same here?
Wait till Wahab comes on. Never seen a more one-dimensional bowler play for Pakistan before, has absolutely nothing in his arsenal apart from bowling as fast as he can.
Good over. Much better.
Going well here Pakistan
Yikes, that Mishah final was almost 10 years ago. Feels like yesterday
Fecking hell. Sami now. This won't end well.
Oh feck off Sami
Feck off.
Just feck off. cnut.
Sami
No ball master is here
feck me.
Sami making sure the crowd gets 20 overs of India's batting.
