2023 Cricket World Cup - Other Matches

Slow pitch that will reward patience. Anything below 260 advantage Australia, 261-299 finely balanced, above 300 (which looks unlikely) advantage India.

I'd suggest India are fucked. With Rahul batting like it's a test, they're done.

No sign of Prime Minister Modi at the ground yet. Did he get wind of the score and turned around his helicopter?

They are going to need someone else to strike a lot quicker, that is for sure. Batting seems pretty tough though, it won't be a 350 pitch

[sparky]

Appeal for a stumping. Video review.

[sparky]

Not out.

[voodoo]

Feels like I’m watching a batting performance from 1995 - 5 per over will do, we can defend that!

Mmm

Two ordinary bits of fielding there

Terrible review

That's got it tho. Reverse swing

[sparky]

Jadeja out. 178/5.

[canefan]

I'm assuming the Indians got the pitch they asked for, and yet the Aussies are putting the clamps on their innings LoL

[antipodean]

India will be lucky to finish at 200 at this rate.

[NTA]

@canefan one boundary in the last 29 overs

[antipodean]

A boundary! The spectators will be delighted.

I'm off to bed. Expect we will choke from here, based on the trouble we had with a small total against South Africa. Wicked is going to start playing up.

[sparky]

200/5 9 overs left.

[sparky]

Rahul out for 66. Caught behind. Indian tail exposed now.

[sparky]

203/6

Reverse swing causing problems to the Indian batsmen.
