England is touring Pakistan after 17 years and first T20I is in progress at National stadium Karachi. England are doing good as they have restricted Pakistan for giving big target. At the end of 19 over Pakistan have scored 150 runs and it seems they will give a target of 160.
How the hell Hardik Pandya can hit three sixes? When every other batter failed to do so. Sending Axar Patel was a wrong decision, it would have been good to send Dinesh Karthik at that time. I am still concerned whether this score can defeat Australia. Now, all depends on Indian bowling side.
Hardik Pandya is a strong man and one can expect him to hit sixes but to score against an Australian player Cameron Green and that two in the three balls of the innings is a big achievement. Suryakumar Yadav, Rahul and finally Hardik Pandya helped India score over 200+ runs.
Australia has made a reasonable start but they need to play aggressively throughout the innings if they want to challenge the Indian total.
With back-to-back sixes at death over, Hardik finishes with 208 for India! The innings ended with three consecutive sixes! Pandya played a great knock! Indian batsmen post an excellent total as they post an excellent innings. In particular, the lower middle order is contributing to Team India's aggressive approach. As for the Aussie batsmen, let's see how they handle the total.
Australia lost a wicket but they scored good runs in the first 6 overs. If they can play 10 overs with out losing wicket then the match can go under their control. Now it remains to be seen how India can restrict them. Both of the teams have 50-50 chance for winning.

Australia have scored 60 runs at the end of the powerplay losing the wicket of Aron Finch. The required runrate is well maintained by Australia. Aron Finch started the innings with a six, and that shows how positive is Australia in chasing the target of 208 runs. Smith and Grean on the crease makes strong partnership for Australia.

By the way, this will be an interesting series as both teams are strong and rivals. Also, this is a very important series between the two teams before the T20 world cup an neither team will want to register the loss before the World cup.
Not only this series, between India and Australia, England is also playing against Pakistan and it will also give chance for both teams access their skills.
India/Australia will play three T20s while England/Pakistan will play seven T20's.
Four of the best and top T20 crickets teams getting good match practice before the T20 world cup.
Hardik Pandya finished with style for India. Making hat trick sixes in the last three balls of the innings is really interesting and much wanted runs. With that India have managed to score 208 runs which is good target. Hardik Pandya scored 71 runs in 30 balls with 7 fours and 5 sixes. Now it is in the hands of the Indian bowlers, because Australia too is good enough to chase target.
In today's match Indian players have given the best from the start. Though there is break-up of partnership at regular intervals, players didn't allow the scoring get disturbed. This is why India is able to score good.

Bloody hell Kungfu Pandya is something.
If he was fit enough to play the test cricket then I have virtually no doubt that he's top all rounder in cricket history, even likes of Sobers will look like minnows to him if he's on the song. Unfortunately, he's not so no chance for him and that's a big setback.

All in all, India is performing very well. But it is very sad that Virat Kohli is not come back to his old form. Although there was a lot of discussion about it in cricket circles. However, even he does not do well in the 1st match of the series, there are two more matches left, being in the team or not that will depend on those matches.
Well everyone is watching the India-Australia match and no doubt India has managed to score a very decent score. They are playing very well but we have another match being played at Karachi between England and Pakistan.
Pakistan is playing even better and has scored 81 runs in 9 overs with zero wickets down. Both Baber and Rizwan are playing with utmost confidence.
Again we are having a super Sunday and i hope both India and Pakistan win their matches.

Rahul got out at 55 from 35 ball and the strike rate is over 157 that was a outstanding performance by Rahul and Sr yadav is also going to the same way by Rahul . India has more 7 wicket and there are also 7 over ball available I think the batting performance from india was so good and If they can continue like this I think 180runs can be easily possible.
After 16 overs, India collected 148 runs. Indian batsmen are batting well. Especially KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Panda are batting well. But we don't see a better performance from Virat Kohli. He returned to the dressing room after collecting only 2 runs from 7 balls. Kohli showed great performance against comparatively weaker teams in the Asia Cup. But he was not able to stay at the crease for long against the Australian bowlers. In fact, he is yet to return to form.
India will probably give a target of 190-200 today. If the bowlers perform well, India will be able to win this run easily. But Australia's batsmen are also experienced. They will continue to strive to win.
Players are considered legends due to their past performance and not some hypothetical future performance.
- Under his captaincy, the Indian team secured to capture Test Mace for 4 consecutive years. Even the all-time great test skipper Steve Waugh didn't enjoy this feat.
- 2nd most international 100s (71) despite playing fewer innings, close to 200 fewer innings in comparison to Sachin (100 tons). Ricky Ponting has same international 100s but he played 150ish more innings.
- Received a Player of the decade award in 2020 because of his record in all 3 formats.

LOL depressing Rahul took SR topic very seriously, scoring nicely tonight.
First T20 match between India and Australia have begun. Australia won the toss and decided to field. Only in India it is possible to see the ground filled with audience. In this match it looks like the ground haven't got full. Rohit Sharma and K.L.Rahul have opened the innings for India and Hazlewood have opened the bowling for Australia.
Atleast 200+ runs is a must to win the match. Both the team is with the best squad, and this makes the match to be so close.

Rohit Sharma leaves the field after scoring 11 runs. Kholi is another reliable batsman who throws wickets for just two runs. Apart from KL Rahul, none of the batsmen stayed on the pitch, choosing to give wickets instead, which can easily be made up for by a higher strike rate later. A decent target against Aussies can't be set until the run rate is decent enough. Both KL Rahul and Yadav should have good strike rates on the pitch.
What a shit show by Kholi, playing in home condition still he struggles. Why still the crowd cheered for him when India lost Rohit? I am still trying to understand. Yes, he is known to be the replacement of Tendulkar but I doubt it now. KL Rahul is showing an impressive agression which I think he needs to otherwise he would might lose everything after the world cup.

Temba >> unsold lol no quota in the franchise system.
Elgar is big in Tests but not in T-20. He won't make it into 18 men's squad as well.

Depends on merit. At least compared to the other South African batsmen, Temba Bavuma has underperformed at international level. On top of that, he is more suitable for the test format. Dean Elgar's case is similar to Steve Smith of Australia. He is also not suitable for T20 format. On the other hand, Sisanda Magala went for a massive amount of ZAR 5.4 million. Lungi Ngidi was sold for ZAR 3.4 million. So race played hardly any part in this auction. It needs to be seen though, whether the South African Board will force quotas for the franchise league in the long term.
It reminds us again about the poor state of the SA's selection policy for the national team.
India vs Australia
I am eagerly waiting to watch India vs Australia's first T20 match today. Hope the match will be competitive. Both teams have a strong squad. But I am waiting to see Virat Kohli's performance today. After a long time we got to see good performances from Kohli in Asia Cup matches. He is back in form. Although India did not even qualify for the final of the Asia Cup, their performance was good. Looking forward to see how Virat Kohli will perform against the experienced bowlers of Australia.
What do you think about Kohli? Will he lose form again? Or will be able to continue the streak like the Asia Cup?

Home ground or not, Aussies are always good in ICC tournaments.
Sri Lanka tasted a new success after a long time, actually they performed better in the last 2-3 months, so they are in good form.
South Africa is also upping their game. England and Australia are already terrific sides. Pakistan can surprise anyone. India is a big team but in ICC tournaments they are choking since 2013-14. Then we have Kiwis and Windies. Safe to say that this T-20 WC is going to be a belter.

On records yes I agree Australia is exceptionally best in the ICC tournament. Srilanka might have performed better in the last 2-3 months but I still think they are not a team that can be considered as the top 4 probably who could win the upcoming world cup. In my opinion, the 4 are England, Australia, India, and the Kiwis. Still, any team can suddenly outshine their performance.
