India-Eng SF2 Pre-match discussion

[zen]

2019 Eng made kucha of Kulcha 

 

2022 Eng destroyed Ind

 

2024 ? 

 

Ind will have to be at its best! Any weakness will be exploited.

There is no way out. Play your best cricket or hope that Eng has an off day.

Weather is big issue. There is rain at the Providence Stadium from 10:00 till 4:00 on Thu

Only Bumrah and Kuldeep will do decently.

 

Arshdeep & Hardik will get massacred by England.

 

Axar and Jadeja is a lottery.

 

Am still traumatized with Butler's assault from last time.

 

Salt is also a monster.

 

There are atleast 3-4 English players who play at Sky's strike rate if 160+.

 

We have had zero luck in ICC tournaments and are extremely overdue a little bit after England fluked the 2019 win against Kiwis.

 

Here is hoping for a washed out game.  Our best hope.

If Eng’s luck is good (likely to be as it is meeting its helper team in a knockout), the weather would clear out too to produce a result.

IMO, weaknesses are Jadeja, Dube and Kohli. Hope they have a good day and come to the party.  Still hoping against hope that they play Jaiswal to spring a surprise on Eng like Axar walking into bat at #4 against Pak

Only butler and salt rest are all not that good.

A WC SF? Yeah a random left hander is going to destroy our top order again. 

 

Topley will be the difference maker.

Topley ka topi udadenge Rohit, Pant, Sky! 2019 ka, 2022 ka ,Butler ka, Mooen ka, sabka badla lega apna Surya

[vvvslaxman]

Adil Rashid vs India will decide the game. Even Livingstone tied us down.

Bumrah needs to learn to perform in key games as well. 
 

KOs are won by teams that raise their game under pressure.

Eng is not playing its best cricket at the moment (failed to leverage on some full tosses in the game against SA as well).
 

Have to see if India can take advantage of that or help Eng to get into top form.

Same for India 

Only pant and sky/pandya are good.

2023 main Sabse bada badla hum ne liye the New Zealand ko uda ke. Do do baar..now NZ is not a bogey team anymore.: tel lagao dabur ka chhakka udega santner ka.. was the tag line.. 

 

now its the time to puncture butler ka disco.. if we can do that we will be very high in confidence and it will probably mean we will be in a position to play well in the final and ……. still lose it..

T20 is short enough that if one player gets in the groove - like Rohit vs Australia (who would have guessed a 90 in 42 balls) - it can change the outcome. Similarly if a bowler like Arshdeep or Archer get 3 wickets in first 2 overs the batting side is on decided backfoot which is hard to overcome in the short format.

 

We have to see which side wakes up feeling better that morning.....

Even zampa in the past. This ground suits India it will turn and outfield is slow.

@Frustrated…this is fraudja’s t20 legacy…

 

[Frustrated]

Eng hv lots of loopholes in every dept.  They hv lost 2 matches already.   Even in their group stage match against minnow Scotland, Scotland were cruising at 90/0 in 10 overs when rain intervened.  This shows how poor Eng bowling is.  Aus beat Eng by a huge margin of 40 runs.  LOL.                                                  Further, Ind vs Eng venue (Guyana) is supposed to be the most spin friendly wicket.  Team Ind has every thing going in their favour.    Having said that, T20 format is always unpredictable. Anything can happen on a given day.  

[coffee_rules]

Should be a cracker of a game, there’s a lot of cricket going on both sides, both are inching to have a go at each other. Whichever team that bats well, bowls well , fields well and grabs the key moments will win and proceed to the finals. 

[Frustrated]

Eng batting is Buttler/Salt or Bust.   MO looks vulnerable.  Livingstone can be dangerous but he usually performs once in a bluemoon. Unless the pitch is a flat patta, Livingstone is a walking wicket.  Same with Moin Ali.   No point in recollecting the horrow show of WT20 2022 SF vs Eng.  That was a totally flat pitch and we didn't hv Bumrah & Kuldeep. Even Arshdeep was a newbie at that time.  Things are significantly different right now.              My only concern this time around would be that Team Ind should not be complacent/over confident.
