To be fair Pakistan asked the umpire.

Lets get the politics out of this.

Well u make only 159 and expect to win?

The target was good enough. India won in the last over.

last over no balls wides, its surreal - its stupid its its unexpected, its unprofessional, kutti ka bacha nawaz

Nawaz is the most overrated player in the squad.

The target was good enough. India won in the last over.

Pakistan played very well.... Very impressive fast blowing

Clearly, this bowling attack of Pakistan very mediocre, cannot defend even 200, cuz they leak runs by offering balls to be hit for sixes. Wides, noballs, full-tosses. Men on boundary have no sense how to attempt to catch a high ball going for 6. Just plain dumb-class ‘international’ level of this stupid team, lead by a dumbass captain who can’t capitalize on weak times of opposing team. He lets them build partnerships by being defensive field set. Babar azam is no captaincy material, in fact when it matters he does tuk tuk. If these boys are not ready for international levels, best to shut down pcb and end cricket. Waste of money it all is with pathetic standards
What the **** is bowling coach doing? Fielding coach can’t teach em how to catch catches on boundary, at least teach them proper way to attempt it.
Patheticc biryani eaters. Look at them on social media aise bongiyan marte phirte jaise world cup le aye hon.
A mediocre strike rate of 100-120 is pathetic in T20.
Look at jos butler, conway, warner, bairstow, paul stirling.
Thats men with real strike rates and deserve powerplay.

I hope this team loses next games and is out of this soon. Let real men with real strike rates and better bowlers take the cups.

Shaheen is a fluke, gonna occupy that hero spot because of 2-3 wickets he took last WC
Just following his fil who used to play 50 games with performance in 1 game. Dahani is better than this dumbass

Cricketing legends hail ‘incredible entertainment’ after thrilling Pak-India World Cup clash​

Virat Kohli celebrates after their win during the ICC men’s Twenty20 World Cup 2022 cricket match between India and Pakistan at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in Melbourne on October 23. — AFP
Virat Kohli struck an imperious half-century and Ravichandran Ashwin was cool at the death as India secured a four-wicket win on the final ball against arch-rivals Pakistan at the T20 World Cup on Sunday in front of a huge Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) crowd.

Pakistan’s spin-bowling all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz had a final over to forget, gifting India two wides and a no-ball before Ashwin coolly blasted the winning run over mid-off as India chased down 160 for victory.

Man-of-the-match Kohli was magnificent, driving India to the brink of victory with 82 not out after digging the team out of trouble in a brilliant partnership with Hardik Pandya (40).
Pakistan were cruising to what seemed a morale-boosting victory but Kohli went ballistic with the bat in the final overs to bring India home in front of 90,293 screaming fans and hundreds of millions more watching around the world.

Here’s what current and former players had to say about today’s blockbuster match.
English pacer Stuart Broad dubbed today’s match as “incredible entertainment”.
“Pakistan won’t believe they’ve lost that but that was pretty special finishing from Kohli and India. MCG looked some atmosphere,” he said.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ramiz Raja said called the thriller a “classic”.
“You win some you lose some and as we all know this game can be cruel and unfair .#TeamPakistan couldn’t have given more with bat and ball. Very proud of the effort!” he said.

Commentator Harsha Bhogle termed today’s game to be “unforgettable”.
“I have seen Virat for so many years. I have never seen a tear in his eyes. I saw it today,” he said.

“It takes a lot of courage to ball the last over as a spinner, specially the magnitude of this contest. [Nawaz] well tried, hard luck Pakistan,” said Imad Wasim.

Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif was all praises for the Indian skipper.
“Kohli will always be a champion cricketer, one of the best batsman ever to play the game and someone who makes us proud to be an Indian.”

Mark Waugh, former Australian cricketer, said that he could not recall a “better game of T20 cricket” than today’s thriller.
“Amazing stuff from both teams. Virat’s dig one of a kind,” he said.

Former Australian cricketer Brad Hogg thanked both India and Pakistan “for not letting the hype before the game turn into a fizzle”.
“Another great match between you both, need more of it. Fans of both teams be proud of all players,” he said.

Morne Morkel, former South African cricketer, termed today’s match to be at par with an episode of “Days of our lives”.
“It had everything!! What a game!!! Incredible chase … well done India,” he said.

“Drama,” said former South African cricketer Vernon Philander. “That was blockbuster stuff. Pakistan had there chance to win it. Great knock from [Kohli],” he said.

“Wow!!!!! What a start to the World Cup!! One of the best T20s you could wish to watch!! Kohli showing his class once again!! What a game!!” said former England cricketer James Taylor.

Former Pakistani cricketer Faisal Iqbal said today’s match was “unbelievable”.
“It has never been this stressful as a player for me while playing against India!” he said as he congratulated the winning team.

Australian cricketer Megan Schutt said “that was one of the craziest finishes I have ever seen”.

Former Sri Lankan cricketer Sanath Jayasuriya said it was “one of the most exciting matches in recent times”

There is no such thing as rules in this world. Dont expect the world especially the West to be fair especially in this time period when everything "Darling" India does is right. They need India for their survival and will do everything in their power to support it and prop it.

There is survival of the fittest.
There is the worship of money.
There is bias and agendas.
There is "might is right".
There is hypocrisy.

What happened in the match today is a perfect example of the corruption that pervades commercial sports.
Sports have always been a form of political circus since the beginning and nothing has changed.

Having said this - not sure why Pakistan did not challenge this call. That is a bigger question mark for me.

Because the captain is a dumbass who can’t even think or make decisions. Stuck on biryanis and karaji and partying and enjoying birthday cakes

 

[Raj-Hindustani]

No because it wasn't

chalo bhai kam se kam match fixed nahi tha... as we used to hear.

 

[TigerOfMysore]

Because one guy tweeted?

There are tons of articles calling this and the 3 runs given off an out - this was a joke of a match. Kholi and India needed to resort to cheating to win. Shameless.

@Catalystic

Clearly, this bowling attack of Pakistan very mediocre,

Quite the reverse at least as far as the quickies were concerned. They really mastered the art of bowling back of length - slow bouncers, fast bouncers everything. They kept both VK and HP quiet- the last two sixes off Haris notwithstanding. Shadab too was outstanding, only Nawaz let them down.

Outcome -
1. Rohit and Rahul are the most problematic T20 Opening batsman for India..... They never play well in big matches.
2. Virat is yet not finished.
3. Good bowlers can win for the Team- Pakistan is having one of the best fasts bowlers

There are tons of articles calling this and the 3 runs given off an out - this was a joke of a match. Kholi and India needed to resort to cheating to win. Shameless.

Read the cricket rules, Please

One moment, please...

 

[Abid123]

where were the yorkers wtf wtf wtf -

I was wondering the same thing. Why did he not try to bowl yorkers? Especially after getting hit for a six.

Rahul

Rahul is almost a free wicket at this point lol.

 

[HttpError]

Which MC bowls 2 full tosses in a last over and that too a spinner? Pakistan should have gone with 4 pacers. Aussie pitched help more pacers than spinners.

Haris getting hit 2 sixes for the last 2 bowls was the real cause. But Nawaz was the worst perfomer with ball. He was acting like a street bowler.

 

[SoulSpokesman]

@Abid123

Rahul is almost a free wicket at this point lol.

Rahuls are as popular this side of the border as Nawazs are on your side.
