India 🇮🇳 vs Pakistan 🇵🇰 :Match Thread

Software Developer

Doesn’t opposition performance in the last few matches against India feel kind of unreal? SA has been a strong contender and they losing all wickets in less than 100 runs tells something deeper than a genuine game. India hosts so India wins or atleast gets to play the finals?

Here's the insights for today's CSK vs. GT match:

- GT are struggling at the bottom of the table, with slim chances of breaking into the top four.
- CSK are missing key bowlers due to injuries and international duties, but they still have a competitive edge.
- A win will lift Chennai to third in the IPL 2024 points table.
- The team's morale has dwindled with just one win in their last five matches.
-The wicket in Ahmedabad has been the best to bowl for the bowlers. The pacers have a bit of extra bounce and early swing on offer. The spinners have some grip and turn. 
-CSK needs to win by a big margin to maintain a consistent run in the league. Net run rate being important given so many teams from bottom are now pushing their luck.

India Must Recover from NZ Loss, Says Rodrigues

I genuinely don’t feel like we are hosting a cricket World Cup in our country this year. In 2011, the hype and craze around us hosting was way higher. Stadiums were better filled them for other games apart from Indian games, while I saw at least 5-10% empty seats even for the India v Aus game even though everything was apparently sold out in minutes on BMS? 

Is it a PR/marketing problem or is the hype from the sport just not great anymore?

Cricket World Cup not hyped enough this year?

Product Head

Australia, India seem to be the only obvious options. The other 6 spots seem open for the taking as SA, ENG, NZ seem to be playing a bit weak

Who will be the teams making it to the Super 8 in the T20 WC?

Don't you feel there is inbred, slow simmering rivalry among bowlers of our national team

Not healthy competition, pull each other down rivalry 

It was evident in WC final, Shami, Siraj and Bumrah were not putting efforts in saving runs for each other. They were very close to being highest wicket takers 

Now today's match Mukesh had the same look. What he couldn't get in first super over, Ravi Bishnoi made it look like piece of cake in next

I feel we aren't being the team, that feel like Cup winners. Remember Dhoni's era?

Cricket: Tell me if I'm overthinking

Did Pakistan failed to manage pressure? They also need 1y mba?? 

Or our guys were pumped up after what happened in last match and fan bashing
