CWC 19 India V Afghanistan

[Sarge]

10.30 am start - Southampton
should be a comfortable India win

 

[Sarge]

this match could see India get a seriously high score ? theyve won the toss and are batting first.... India win will take them above England in the overall table

 

[Sarge]

5 overs in India 9-1

 

[Leysboy]

Big wicket for Afghanistan Rohit Sharma has been in great form. The prize wicket is Kholi! Mujeeb bowling really well, and I think he looked excellent against England.

 

[Sarge]

66-2 ... 15 overs in

 

[Sarge]

75-2 after 18 overs

 

[Sarge]

Kholi got his 50 and looking settled at the crease

98-2 after 22 overs

 

[Sarge]

122-2 off 26 overs

 

[Foley]

It's not quite what was expected.
Afghanistan need a couple of wickets and India will be in a spot of bother.
Of course Kholi and Dhoni alternatively could destroy Afghanistan.
Interesting game at the moment

 

[Sarge]

another 2 wickets gone .... 137-4 after 31 overs

could be interesting this

 

[Leysboy]

I’m not sure this was in the script. Fair play to Afghanistan. 137/4

 

[Sarge]

151-4 ... 15 overs left .... will India start accelerating their run rate now?

 

[Sarge]

177-4 ...9 overs left ... this wasnt expected at all

 

[Sarge]

Afghanistan bowling has been top notch (so far)

Dhoni gone for 28

193-5 ... 5 overs left

 

[Sarge]

206-5 ...3 overs to bowl ... Afghanistan bowlers done a good job on India batsmen!

 

[Sarge]

219-6 .... Pandya gone ... last over next

 

[Sarge]

Shami gone for 1 in the final over , followed by Jadhav for 52... India 224-8 after their 50 overs

if * Bangladesh Afghanistan batsmen are on similar form as the bowlers this could be a close one , ...maybe even an upset?

* edit - cheers @Foley

 

[Foley]

Afghanistan Sarge ?

 

[Sarge]

Afghanistan Sarge ?

oops ... edited now ...thanks !

 

[Leysboy]

This could be the biggest World Cup shock of all time if Afghanistan pull this off. Amazing!

 

[Sarge]

Afghanistan 16-0 after 5 overs ...just under rrr , slow n steady for now ... survived an lbw review as well

 

[Sarge]

21-1.... after 7 overs

wicket was almost inevitable , Afghanistan openers been riding their luck from the start

 

[Sarge]

54-1 after 12 overs

A few boundaries starting to flow from Afghan's

 

[Sarge]

Gulbadin gone for 28 ... first ball of the 17th over

64-2

 

[Sarge]

71-2 after 20 overs .... 154 needed to win

 

[Sarge]

Afghanistan need 119 off 22 overs

notched up their 100 ...currently 106-2

 

[Sarge]

Rhamet gone for 36 .... good bowling and good catch for that one

 

[Foley]

Shame. 2 wickets in an over and India should do it now.

 

[Sarge]

Hashmatallah (?) for a duck

still need 119 ... 4 wickets down now

 

[Sarge]

Wheel of fortune turning in India's favour?

118 needed off 20 overs ... Afghan's 4 wickets down
