Re: Asia Cup, 2018
Really pathetic stuff against HK. Shardul was appalling. In fact the quicker bowlers have been cr*p. 139/0 with 21 overs to go. Only chance is to keep the run rate down and hope HK panic.

Re: Asia Cup, 2018
HK 139-0 after 29 overs.. impressive stuff from both the batsman... generally you will fancy a batting team to win from here however hoping we can bounce back with some quick wickets and inexperience of HK shows up ...

Re: Asia Cup, 2018
Shardul Thakur has been truly disgraceful, 0/41 in 4 overs now. I hope this is the last time he plays for India.
Bizarre that Hardik Pandya too isn’t playing today.

Re: Asia Cup, 2018
Jadhav is just a hopeless bowler...just bowling half tracker ..lucky to have only been hit for 1 six so far..

Re: Asia Cup, 2018
HK need 118 to win off 17 overs with 10 wickets in hand. Looks like a cakewalk for HK at the moment.

Re: Asia Cup, 2018
175-2 after 36 overs...couple of quick wickets to get both the set batsman out.... so 14 overs left
Re: Asia Cup, 2018
Openers gone and run rate up to 8.5. HK have lost the plot. Still doesn't excuse the dreadful bowling that went before the breakthrough. Shardul was laughably rubbish. We specialise in his kind of 'quick' bowlers
103 needed of 12 overs. Maybe possible for HK

Re: Asia Cup, 2018
40 needed of 18 balls... We are lucky to get out of this , inexperience of HK showed up after the first wicket partnership...
Re: Asia Cup, 2018
Yes, quite lucky to win this. HK just needed to keep their cool, but didn't keep the score moving.

Re: Asia Cup, 2018
How did Khaleel bowl? Bumrah is our top ODI bowler. Pandya is in. The third slot will possibly go to Bhuvi because he is trying hard to take his (bowling) average to over 40 by not taking wickets and this tournament may be the right place to do it. Although, I hope he gets a five fer and has to wait and work hard before he can take his average to over 40. Anyway, if Khaleel is a wicket-taking bowler, my preference would be to try Bumrah, Khaleel, and Pandya as the pace bowling options. I know Khaleel will possibly be the one dropped

Re: Asia Cup, 2018
Strange that KL Rahul is not playing even the match against Pakistan — and DK is picked ahead of him.

Re: Asia Cup, 2018
Two dropped catches so far — Dhoni dropped Babbar Azam off Pandya, then Bhuvi dropped Shoaib off Kuldeep. But a brilliant catch by substitute Manish Pandey gets rid of Sarfraz. Pakistan 100/5 after 27 overs as Shoaib is run out for 43 off a brilliant direct hit from Rayudu.

Re: Asia Cup, 2018
Bhuvi finishes with 7-1-15-3 to decimate Pakistan for 162, alongside Jadhav's 3/23 in 9 overs. Kuldeep bowled a beauty to fox Babar Azam with a googly.
Let's hope we do as well in the Super Four stage match. Of course the batsmen still need to do their part today.

Re: Asia Cup, 2018
Terrific opening stand by Rohit-Dhawan, but the skipper falls to the first ball from a spinner (a googly, which he rarely ever reads).
