Overall, India’s brilliant performance outclassed Pakistan. Best of luck to Pakistan for the next match. Looking forward to a rematch between India and Pakistan in Ahmedabad for the World Cup final!
Let’s agree that India is a better team than Pakistan. Let’s come out of this false illusion that we are superior. In T20, we excel. We lack the temperament for 50 overs. Plus, there are barely any players capable of carrying the innings sensibly.
It didn’t seem like an ICC event tonight – let’s be brutally honest. It seemed like a bilateral series or a BCCI event. I didn’t hear Dil Dil Pakistan coming through the mics too often. That does play a role, but I won’t use it as an excuse.

How do you explain the collapse from 155 for 2 to 191 suddenly? Are you suggesting that Pakistan was playing well because of the ‘Dil Dil Pakistan’ song played by the DJ, and then they collapsed because the song stopped?
Merit, responsibility and accountability
If they continue bowling like this, Australia, despite their poor form, would easily overpower us. Now, if in the next match, they don’t play Usama Mir instead of Shadab or Nawaz, then this team management, including the captain, deserves a good scolding. These two aren’t even batting well, which is why they play these part-timers instead of proper spinners. Usama might do a better job in batting than Shadab and Nawaz. At least then we’d have one proper spinner in the team.
