And what about the Malik run out? One thing that Batman does nowadays is 2 point out in which direction they were trying to play the ball and that is one thing even I think is really stupid. Especially when you are out of your crease. But I think overall both teams batting performance was really poor.
But on the other hand we have some good news from this T20. First its good to see Bangladesh team performing well without there key players after a bad T20 WC. Bangladesh team must try to maintain this form in other countries also. Second, Hassan Ali was player of the match thanks to his 3 for 22 spell, it was much needed performance from his after he was criticized for dropping catch in semis of T20 WC.
Bangladesh are still quite inconsistent, in some tours they play as if they are the best team in the world and in other series you will see them losing against Scotland and skittling like an associate nation. No doubt that their future is too bright as cricket has properly developed now in Bangladesh, I was surprised to know that Bangladesh's board earns almost equal to Pakistan's Board and their leagues are equally popular. Winning at home is obviously easier for almost all the teams around the world, you can have pitched as per your strength, especially the asian pitches are entirely different from pitches around the world.
New Zealand did well, but it was a close game and India sneaked through. The inability of New Zealand batsmen to score runs in the last 2-3 overs probably cost them the match. In the last 3 overs, they just made 14 runs. Normally we would expect 30-40 runs at this stage. The inexperienced Rachin Ravindra wasted a lot of balls, and neither Tim Seifert or Mitchell Santner could get the scoreboard moving. They should have ideally finished at 180-185, but ended up at 164/6. Nice bowling during the depth overs from the Indians - Mohammed Siraj, Deepak Chahar and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
After seeing yesterday's match I still trying to figure out what went wrong with the Indian team in the T20 world cup. They were supposed to play like this in the world cup too. This was not an easy match but the batters were able to take that kind of pressure and were able to deliver a win. Interesting would be to check whether the Indian team can consistently repeat the same performance.
That is the problem with Indian team they win a lot of bilateral series against each opponent very easily but when it comes to ICC tournament dont know what happens to them.. Just like south africa was in the past same thing is happening to india and they need to figure out how to deal with this as next t20 world cup is not far away right now
Hahah are you kidding me? India has won 1 world cup, 1 champions trophy, 1 world T20 and numerous Asia cups in last 15 years. Which means out of 12 icc tournaments of last 15 years India has won 3, I don't know which team has performance equivalent to this.
I think last time India performed this bad in an ICC tournament was world cup 2007. I don't know which icc tournaments are you watching.
Apart from 2007 World cup, they have also failed in 2021 T20 World Cup and lost to Pakistan and that too by 10 wickets .
I think you forget to mention it.
I think you didn't read my post properly, I said that they played "this" bad, which obviously means their performance in this world cup. In both, the tournaments India lost miserably against average teams despite having big names with them. I remember how they skittled against Bangladesh for just 175 runs in 2007.
