ICC Champions Trophy: June 1-18, 2017 in England

[raja]

46 needed off 20.

Can England pull off a miracle here?

[Boycs]

England bundled out for 211 and Pakistan cantering only two wickets down with about 173 on the board.

England were got out by some sharp bowling from Pakistan I've got to hand it to them. And then we fell apart under the pressure. Really quality pace bowling.

And with the lower target easing the pressure a little, Pakistan have been able to bat brilliantly and still score quickly but without having to take that extra little risk that brings wickets. Will be a thumping win

Congratulations Pakistan

Congrats PCB fans.

Thanks.

[Asim]

India could not have dreamed of an easier path to victory, as Sehvag said pota (grandson) in the SF and then beta (son) in the final.

[Going South]

Ye lo. Reverse jinx already started by all.

Yes. All Asian final of Asia cup. Hahahahahaha

[baggygreenmania]

Stokes gone!
201/8.
But England already have too many.
Pakistan's batting is the weakest of all teams in this tournament.

I did say England would be bundled out in the semis. I have been proven correct. Pakistan has once again lived up to its enigmatic self. How is Boycs feeling? Much the same way I was feeling after his team unceremoniously dumped my Aussies I suspect.

[Leo]

Good Luck Bangladesh

[bolero]

Tough match today for India. Bangladesh have the fire in the belly and their tails up.

[Going South]

Squarecut bhai Will be having sleepless night

I'm a bit disappointed however I watched much of our innings and Pakistan bowled very well. They had an excellent match and we had a poor one. But we had a good competition overall especially against NZ and Aus and we hung on against South Africa so overall I'm happy. Those were big teams we took down.

[raja]

Guess which team I'm supporting today?

[Boycs]

Give me a B....

[raja]

Give me a B....

[Misty]

Guess which team I'm supporting today?

You not supporting your own members

[Going South]

Misty watch your language or face ban.

31/2 in 7 overs.

[Boycs]

No ball wicket and a catch off a free hit then a wife then a four. Will tamin get going now? 63/2 off 13 is pretty decent. Pandya or whatever just bowled a rubbish over.

Rubbish team beaten yesterday

What's that supposed to mean?

[Misty]

You spell wrong but I wants to know who deleted my update of February 14 in Down memory Lane?

[louie_db9]

Pandya is an awful bowler.

[raja]

Decent start, considering..
But 80/2 after 16 is still not enough.

This is a powerhouse of a BCCI batting line-up. We need 350 at least....which means 270 from remaining 32.
Not happening.

Expecting a collapse any minute.

[Going South]

104 in 20.
On path for 300

[raja]

104 in 20.

Congrats in advance, GS.

Ah I see haha

[louie_db9]

Bangladesh looking brilliant, India looking awful.

[raja]

130/2 after 23.
Still too slow.

[raja]

Tamim gone.
It's all over for my team.

[Going South]

163 in 30 overs is an awesome start.
Frankly not many teams can make it in this tournament.
Expects 315+ score target.
Game on !!

[Going South]

175/3 in 33 overs.
Very steady towards target. Impressive.

[Going South]

177/4. Jadeja gets shakib. Next man up motto is impressive, honestly it's better than Pakistani batting

[Katto]

final between India - Pakistan should be interesting

[Paddles]

TAB had Bangladesh at 7.50 3 minutes ago.

Check your odds offered from your favs.

[Katto]

so much for dibbly dobblies being a thing of the past.

bumrap has busted that myth

[Paddles]

I reckon India is 1.33 on but not 1.10.

Sportsbet had Bang holding at 6.25. Has anyone offered wider odds on Bangladesh?

[raja]

Very disappointing.

264 is a nothing-score against BCCI.

Rohit alone scored 264 in an ODI once.

[Going South]

264 is decent score to defend

[Paddles]

Very disappointing.

264 is a nothing-score against BCCI.

Rohit alone scored 264 in an ODI once.

Key is getting Dhawan early. Rohit blocking till 20 or 30th over could work for Bangladesh if wickets fall in the interim.

Bangladesh's best chance of winning is to create scoreboard pressure. They need the top order blocking, and Dhawan won't. Rohit possibly will if wickets fall.

[Paddles]

Looks like all India from here.

Goodnight.

[raja]

Boring.
All too predictable.

[Going South]

Ashwin is a waste of space.
He would do nothing even for game against srilanka had he played.
He was given too much undue credit

[raja]

Dhawan gone.
9 more to get.

[raja]

Ok, so my next chance to be happy is if we win in the final.
This game is lost already.

[Going South]

164/1 in 25 overs.
On target.

[raja]

Rohit Sharma proving his flat-track, minnow-bashing, credentials.
