Don't think this is a 380 pitch. Even Bairstow said that during their innings too it was not as easy to hit the old ball on this pitch. But we should have gotten 340-350 for sure.
Rather bring back Yusuf Pathan from the dead than watch these prod along in the last 6 overs.
Too harsh to go after DK, surely? Very difficult situation to walk into for your first taste of the WC. He should rotate strike and leave it to Dhoni.
Making sure Bangladesh have the incentive to go hard against Pakistan and knock them out.
Khelo dimaag se.
Pakistan would be further fuming.
India need to start swinging.
Dhoni's state of mind is in the final overs is becoming borderline pathetic.
And there you go, DK going for a big shot gets out.
Only thing more annoying than a wicket falling is seeing that fan dressed as a tiger.
Irrelevant at this stage. That game will be a dead rubber when England win tomorrow.
We have 2nd/3rd locked in on NRR.
If we lose this, the conspiracy nuts will be out in full force.
Think the pitch has slowed down a bit with batsmen finding it difficult to hit those cutter.
The feck is Dhoni doing?! 
Every shot is stupid if it gets you out.
Not really.Pandya was a good bowl, not sure where you got stupid shot from (feck off)
Kholi one was just stupid considering he needed to support pant not be the hitter.
Sweeping against a long boundary/ in form bowler is always stupid regardless of whether its a six or out.
I'll give you Rohit one but still wasn't needed.
Shots weren't stupid because they got out but it was not smart cricket thats what made those shots stupid.
Stalker?
Would be fun to watch Waqar Younis lose his shit again.
Refusing singles. FFS
Dhoni out.
Pretty poor from him.
Pretty poor from him.
Needs to be dropped next game.
What a fecking clown
Should have taken a single.This score is too big for Bangladesh against India's bowling imo
Under 300 doable but over will be too hard.

Dhoni wtf.
At least he scored 35 off 33, imagine him getting out in the final having scored 2 from 10 balls. He's becoming a liability
India will win comfortably as its difficult chasing and Bangladesh will struggle against Bumrah and Kumar. But Dhoni is doing his best to make it a contest
Still might be overly harsh, the pitch does become difficult a bit when the ball becomes older.

I think this low score was unavoidable, to be honest. DK could have been sent in ahead of Dhoni (or even Pandya, but that's understandable) to help him settle. But in that case Dhoni would have come in late and eaten up balls while trying to settle and lost his wicket in the end anyways. Lose-lose situation.
If we don't drop Dhoni, there is nothing we can do to improve our last 10 overs.
Edit: there goes Dhoni
Poor India it's not as if they have 4 WKs in their team that they need to play Dhoni
What an absolutely brilliant final over by The Fizz!
Decent total (shit considering where we were), Don't see them chasing this vs our bowlers.
Even when DK skied it, Dhoni didn't cross over, what's happening to him? He was very good in the IPL barely few months back. Forget orange, India should wear a yellow jersey
7 balls in that over?
Think India have enough runs anyway, but they made a total mess of the last part of that innings.
Dhoni has taken up ahimsa. A loincloth would be more appropriate.
Credits to Bangladesh, they bowled well. Also the pitch seems to have slowed down a bit, Indians need to focus on bowling them cutters, especially Bhuvi
Kohli's captaincy sucks as bad as Dhoni's batting.
Advantage Bangladesh now. Get ready for a Shakib ton.

If Bangladesh get off to a flyer, it might just be ON..
They do bat deep..
We are still favorites.. Solid bowling attack.

Resident Pakistani fans must be fuming
Utter mess of a final 20. But the pitch has slowed down sufficiently for this to be a winning total
India are losing this.
We'll win this by more than 80 runs. You heard it here first.
I didn't realise Kohli got out failing to clear the short boundary he was moaning about on Sunday
