India (89/2) defeat Scotland (85) by 8 wickets in the ICC T20 World Cup

[Justcrazy]

I think Afghans are probably eliminated even if they win. It is either NZ or India.

If Afghans win, India should surpass them in NRR (either today or against Namibia).

If NZ win, NZ go through.

India play last game , so they will know what they need to do exactly

[Devadwal]

India finishing above Afghanistan tonight won't mean anything (maybe two nights of ego boost).

Afghanistan have to beat New Zealand. If that doesn't happen, nothing will matter.

And if that happens, India will know what to do against Namibia, they play the last match.

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

If afg beat NZ.

[Devadwal]

NZ is favourite for semifinal

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Absolutely correct, they are not going higher than 3rd place in this group

You don't think Afghanistan can beat New Zealand?

[sweep_shot]

This group reminds me of 2019 World Cup qualifier.

Zimbabwe needed one victory to eliminate Afghanistan and go to the World Cup. But, they failed to do that. They even lost against UAE (a win against UAE would've knocked Afghanistan out and Zimbabwe would've been through).

[realitygaf]

India bowlers wreak havoc to dismiss Scotland for 85 - Now over to Indian batsmen to try and give them a remote chance of making it to the Semi-finals

8.5 overs to go past New Zealand NRR

7.1 overs to go past Afghanistan NRR

#T20WorldCup #INDvSCO

Scottish batsmen don’t know how to even hold the bat. I sunk back into my sofa and face palmed at shots which are played better at under 19 level

They scored 350+ against England like 3 years ago and also won that game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4p7...esCricketBoard.

They are okay against pace but struggle against spin.

[Inswinging Yorker]

the biased Harsha Bogle sounds like he wants to cry

[Justcrazy]

There we go India start , and would look to go after the bowling from word go.

[sweep_shot]

I think India should chase this within 10 overs.

7.1 overs should be difficult.

[sweep_shot]

India - 8/0 after 1 over (target: 86).

[Devadwal]

Watt is very good bowler ,his ball is swinging which is rare for spinners

[Couch Cricketer]

You don't think Afghanistan can beat New Zealand?

NZ vs Afg is in Abu Dhabi which are batting friendly wickets compared to more spin friendly in Dubai and Sharjah so I don't think NZ will loose. NZ of the past used to loose under pressure this NZ team under Kane Williamson I think should win it.

[sweep_shot]

Watt is very good bowler ,his ball is swinging which is rare for spinners

Generally pretty economical. Yes.

[Sirris]

I think India should chase this within 10 overs.

7.1 overs should be difficult.

Does it matter how many wickets at hand?

[Justcrazy]

India going after the bowling wanting to finish the game as soon as possible.

[Devadwal]

Does it matter how many wickets at hand?

No, wicket doesn't matter .

[Justcrazy]

23 after 2 overs

[Devadwal]

Rahul pick-up shots is best in the world.

[castortroy]

This game was always going to finish inside 10 overs once India won the toss

[sweep_shot]

India - 33/0 after 2.2 overs (target: 86).

[sweep_shot]

Does it matter how many wickets at hand?

Nope. All about how many overs are left.

[Uzzy_Khan]

Lol Scots helping out by providing pace... Funny

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Wow. What a comeback by India in this tournament. Hopes of India vs Pakistan are still alive.

[Sarwar89]

I am in stadium and it is hillarious, Indians are celebrating and dancing like as if they are beating mighty Don Bradman’s invicible Aussies of 1948. With Chants of Chadra Gupt Maurya all over stadium.

Kiwis did not tour Pakistan which was not good but Bhoy let’s hope Kane Williamson silence 1.4 billion people on Sunday afternoon.

[sweep_shot]

India - 39/0 after 3 overs (target: 86).

India need 47 runs in 24 balls to surpass Afghanistan's NRR.

Wow. What a comeback by India in this tournament. Hopes of India vs Pakistan are still alive.

Hahaha comeback? Seriously?? After the thrashing from Pak and Nz this is the least they owe their fans.. Beating afg n Scots not really a comeback if you ask me..

[sweep_shot]

Why did they take off Watt? Who are they saving him for? LOL.

[Uzzy_Khan]

Lolll exactly my questions.. Strange strange tactics!!!

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

I think India will have a better NRR after this match. It all depends on NZ vs Afghanistan but India is doing their part by improving their net run rate. Still an outside chance for us.

India - 53/0 after 4 overs (target: 86).

India should qualify now if Afghans win. They should be way ahead in terms of NRR.

Rahul reaches his 50.

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

India win by 8 wickets

[loves_cricket]

Something very strange, how is it possible for india to beat Scotland !!!
An impossible victory against mighty AFG and now this.
How much money spent by BCCI to purchase this victories, pakpassion is going to explode with proofs of match fixing

[sweep_shot]

All over.

India surpass both New Zealand and Afghanistan in terms of NRR.

India win by 8 wickets.

[realitygaf]

If india had not won vs Afghanistan they might have had to qualify for t20 wc in Australia next year

[realitygaf]

So we agree NZ will thrash Afg and india is now out of the World Cup right ?

[Justcrazy]

India won by 8 wickets (with 81 balls remaining)

[srh]

Afghanistan has a great chance to beat New Zealand. New Zealand does not perform good in pressure.

[Devadwal]

The NRR battle after India's big win:

India: +1.619
Afghanistan: +1.481
New Zealand: +1.277

[KingKhan12]

What was Indias NRR after their 2 defeats before the Afghanistan game.

[Cyclotron]

Match is fix.
*Scotland player was planning to give virat kohli birthday party
*Scotland bowlers was bowling at slot
*Muithiah Muralidhar watt was held for so long he would have taken hattrick
*Scotland world beating fastbowlers were bowling pies
*They wanted ipl contract

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

The NRR battle after India's big win:

India: +1.619

Pak +1.065

[sweep_shot]

What was Indias NRR after their 2 defeats before the Afghanistan game.

It was something like +0.07 before the game. It is now about +1.61.

[Mahee]

we have to do everything we can to help AFG beat NZ

[Asif321]

So Afghanistan are out unless they win big against NZ which is unlikely. The India game messed up their chances

[Cyclotron]

Mate you will need tissue after receiving pasting from England/india.it will be fun to see fans reaction after overhyping team to moon.

No issue leyloo tissue

[sweep_shot]

So Afghanistan are out unless they win big against NZ which is unlikely. The India game messed up their chances

Pretty much.

If they lose, they are out. If they win, they are probably out too (India should have a better NRR).

[realitygaf]

So Afghanistan are out unless they win big against NZ which is unlikely. The India game messed up their chances

India is out and Afghanistan is out . No way a pressured team like Afghanistan will win vs NZ . I mean look wt how they played vs india there is ZERO chance that NZ loses.
