Rohit Sharma should carry this picture everywhere. Looks slim and healthy next to Srafaraz

At this stage,my dua is, just don't lose badly

[kruiser]

I would play this strategically and rest bumrah, pandya and kuldeep. Lose this and lull pakistan into believing they are the besht. 

Then win on 23rd and the final!

Do we carry forward points,like Super 6's in WC?

 

Afghanistan is a threat but we should beat them but Bangladesh are no pushovers in these conditions and with our team

I don't think any intnl team plays to lose 'strategically', that too against arch rivals,  unless of course there is a lot of money involved

The way we played today expecting to get hammered today by Pakistan as they are motivated and have the desire to do well.

In these pitches, spinners need to bowl bit quick. Kuldeep Yadav is too slow for my liking and when pitches are slow its easier to pick variations. These kind of pitches are tailor made for bowlers like Rashid Khan/darters etc. I hope Shastri have a word with both spinners and ask them to bowl bit flat. That left arm spinner from HongKong was darting big time and he was tough to score off.

It will be epic if we go with the same squad tomorrow since its a dead rubber

Meaningless match because of this stupid tournament format.

We can win all 3 vs Pak! I can understand not exposing one of the players though as a plan to unleash the player in the final (if we make it)
