Bumrah's even weirder. He's bowling 90+ without a run up
But Bumrah looks like he puts his back into it at the very end.. Bhuvi puts in Venkatesh Prasad levels of effort. well.. maybe a bit more.

Bhuvi looks like he has found some form.. and it looks like he might have done his hammy :mad:

edit: doesnt look too serious
edit #2 : going off :mad:

Pakistan if they play it sensibly could win this cos they need only 106 in 20 overs if they don't lose any more wicket for dls.

Bhuvi is injured too.

It's been a long time since I watched cricket. So I'm fairly surprised with how well Bumrah is bowling. So did Bhuvaneshwar.

Or maybe this is a reflection of Pakistans poor batting?

Bumrah is world rank no 1 right now.

Is this with just 1 wicket? Or can they afford to lose a couple more?
They need to up the run rate slightly though, falling behind a bit, more boundaries needed

Apparently no rain for the rest of the match. We are fecked anyway unless the spinners do some magic.

Bhuvi ruled out for the day
There has to be some sort of substitution rule in case of injury IMO, I know it's not easy but losing one of your strike bowlers and not being able to bring anyone in to make up for the loss is really unfair to one team

Bhuvi out for the match. Pakistan won't get a better chance. They will have to take on the two spinners though.

India will win this easy. 330 is mammoth for this pitch
Pandya has to bowl 5 in the last 10.

Vijay Shankar has to bowl 6-7 more between now and 40.

Pakistan just need to plan this.

India can win but this heavily favours Pakistan.

Yes, if Pakistan are smart they can target right bowlers and make a proper game out of this. But I don't think they will able to handle the spinners that well.
Kohli has bowled Chahal in final 10 so expect him to bowl at least 2 today as well

Kuldeep and chahal are good enough to turn this game, let's hope they do.

The problem is one end being free always because of these constraints. I'd concede a small passage of play to Pakistan. Bowl 5 crap overs back to back and wind that quota down. Shankar, jadhav.
