Fantastic contribution from Nevill.
Could be a crucial 10 runs he's added.

Good finish. 160 is a challenging total. Dhawan needs to contribute for a change.
Pandya saying the pitch has slowed down. Not good.
If India bat well, they should win this. AUS need wickets at regular intervals to slow the scoring down.
Found Ravi Shastri's redcafe account.
Damn, sprung!
India simply need to concentrate hard and play smart. No need for ego or heroics and they should win this with comfort.
However, if Aus can get 3 wickets within the first 8 overs (including Kohli) and get run rate up to 9 for final 10 overs, then we'll see what India is actually made of on dealing with pressure.

Australia needs kohli out to win this. The rest are useless.
Michael Vaughan reckons this will be 'an arse ripper' whatever that means.
This T20 it has been really difficult to predict which pitch is going to play how and how a match will turn out. Even during game things appear changing. 160 might just be about par or slightly less.
Is only challanging if India bat like hero Honda. Sensible aggressive batting and they should comfortably win.
Dunno why you all are saying 160 isn't a good score. Think this will be a very difficult chase. Really need one of Rohit or Dhawan to fire.
Zaheer Khan is so terrible as a pundit. Bhoge tried to engage him in actual a couple of times only for him to turn around and say "Team India will win".
Because in previous games on this pitch 180 was a Par score.
Likewise because Aus kept losing wickets, they has 3 periods if rebuilding which cost them at least 20 runs.
160 definitely under par.
In normal circumstances we should easily get this. But with pretty much all our batsman out of form I'm really not all that confident.
Wow, Yuvi getting a wicket first ball 
(A little luckily though). Bumrah and Nehra should have bowled 19th and 20th. Problem with Dhoni is if he thinks a formula works, he will inevitably stick with it.
160 is definitely not easy. If Dhawan and Sharma are suffocated even a little, than it's a really uphill task. Kohli (assuming he lasts the innings) needs solid support from one of Raina or Yuvraj, else we could still lose this.

If India lose, it will be of their own doing. This game should be easy won by India
Why are they playing like twats?
What a hit
Keep bowling pace and this game will be over in a jiffy.
The ball isn't exactly coming onto the bat. If the openers struggle in the PP (like they are now), makes the MO's work a lot more difficult.
Pretty poor score, India should win this comfortably based on their batting depth and strength, also going by previous scores on this pitch.
Knew this was coming.
This match is all about Kohli. Which is why Australia have a big chance of winning. They will be one wicket away from victory for most of the match.
Poor start.
He's almost impossible to bowl to in limited overs cricket
Yep. It's terrifying.
So predictable.Rohit sharma. Certified wasteman
These fecking openers...
Someone needs to boot the cnut out. Batting like we were chasing 120 and playing all those forward defensive shots.
Dhawan for all his faults didn't feck around and played for the team.

If Kohli goes early we should do what we used to do in 90s after Sachin used to get out. Switch off TV and go out with family.
Such an one man team.
fecking Rohit Sharma... Was hoping he'd do well.
All on Kohli again. Yuvraj and Raina are unlikely to last too long

Well done... piled on the pressure even more on Kohli.
Raina is batting with the assurance of Courtney Walsh.
anyone else felt the fielder gave up too easily that four?
