***Official*** Match #9- India vs Afghanistan, October 11th, Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi

[chris.hinton]

149 off 30. Afghanistan should look towards 275-300

 

[ashley bach]

Come on Afghanistan

They have some serious support out there, over 3 million traded on them in the last 5 minutes and they're now into 3.6.

 

[slowfinger]

Come on lads, 300 now, stick it on em

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

But dotting out close to 15 overs going at 3's and 4's is so 2000's

Strike rotation is their biggest problem. Relies mostly on boundaries to get their runs. If its restricted then they are generally in trouble

 

[Jarquis]

43 off the last 5...

 

[slippy888]

They gonna get close to 300 here

 

[honestbharani]

Really good stuff from Afghans here. Very good batting.

I can see why the ICC asked some teams to wear different color kits for some games last WC. Its so hard to tell the teams apart here.

Don't know why they didn't this time around

The ones fielding are India... the ones batting are playing for Afghanistan.

 

[mackembhoy]

Well this is disappointing would have been nice for them to get a challenging target.

Surely India will knock this off comfortably.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Siraj punished

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Bumrah has been brilliant on this flat track.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wow thats a brilliant shot

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Runs on the board

 

[Aidan11]

A respectable total but it will be beaten.

 

[OverratedSanity]

It's a flat pitch but hey it's a score. Very decent effort even though they probably should've got more.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Almost certainly not enough and India probably win by 6 wickets with 5+ overs to spare but they have a total to defend and something for Rashid Khan to bowl at. He will probably win a game with 3/4/5 wicket haul at some point and who knows if it is today or not?

 

[centurymaker]

Siraj is ideal on wickets with assistance but on flat decks he is truly cannon fodder because he keeps bowling length balls

Ahmedabad is expected to be flat too and Siraj has been very expensive in back to back games.. 3rd ODI vs Aus and today. I think he should be switched with Shami next game.

Shami has the same problem bro
