***Official***THE FINAL- India vs Australia - November 19th - Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad (D/N)

[morgieb]

Siraj's batting looks a lot better than I last saw it.

 

[honestbharani]

Like a billionaries version of Chahal.

Nah Chahal genuinely cant bat. Like Venkatapathy Raju was a better batsman than him.

Siraj

might as well get the sweepstakes going on how long it will take Aus to chase down this target

cnerd123 - 39 overs

29

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

India's 4 #11's > SKY

 

[Spark]

I feel it should be pointed out that while dew is a major potential factor, this is hardly the sort of score that is insurmountable without dew. It's not wildly more than on Thursday and that was definitely trickier than this one. This is just really slow.

hope siraj finishes it with a six like venkatesh prasad in ICC knockout trophy in 2000

 

[cnerd123]

How long till Aus chases this down?

cnerd123 - 39 overs
Gnske - 48
Burgey - 36 (aka the number of years since he was last able to get it up)
OS - 29
Redbacks 43

Most Wickets in a Single World Cup by a Spinner

23 - Muttiah Muralitharan (2007)
23 - Adam Zampa (2023)
21 - Brad Hogg (2007)
21 - Shahid Afridi (2011)
20 - Shane Warne (1999)

Btw this over has lowkey shown why Hazlewood doesn't bowl at the death, it's actually been pretty bad and could have gone the journey in different circumstances

Shots behind the wicket are going to be handy.

Inglis definitely is getting a duck. Someone put money on it and earn some easy bucks

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The roar after a single is deafening

India's 4 #11's > SKY

Srsly why would you try to win a World Cup by picking the embodiment of everything **** about modern cricket

 

[silentstriker]

About 40 runs too short here.

Hard to see it being defended without jagging the top order in the first 10

 

[cnerd123]

He's be an OK tailender at test level. Odi cricket just needs tailenders yo slog in most situations which he can't do.

which is actually why he should bat higher up. Can build partnerships with the proper batter by rotating strike. Did a good job of it today, SKY just sucked.

240. It's way below par, but it's something.

Unironically bowl Kohli and Rohit here

 

[BazBall21]

It was 241 to tie last time. It's 241 to win this time.

Does seem like reverse is a significant factor though, whereas that one "just" turned big. Does make it interesting if India can get it hooping.

And India score 240, lol. With a run out on the last ball!
