Take a bow King, what a time to hit a maiden ODI 50!

Thanks to her power and Mooney's timing, PAK have taken 56 runs off the last 5ov!

A superlative knock from Mooney, very composed and solid.
Her 100 has single handedly kept AUS in the game and now with King's blazing 50, they may cross 220, unthinkable 20ov ago.

Reminds one of that Hussey 100 v PAK batting with the tail in 2010 Sydney test. #PAKvAUS #WWC2025

Wow, what timing and awareness from PAK keeper Nawaz to pull off a stumping and dismissing of the sticky Garth!

She gathered the ball away from her, all the while keeping her balance and breaking the stumps. Zoehrer, Baz would be proud! #Dhoniesque

Incredible effort from PAK bowlers, to reduce AUS to a 100/7 after 32ov. They'll want to ensure that they don't chase anything above 150.

For AUS, they'll hope they can bat out the ov and Mooney can stay the whole time. Anything around 175, AUS are in the game. #PAKvAUS #WWC2025

Play stopped for bug fumigation - right up there with the weird reasons when cricket is stopped!

At 154/4 after 34ov, IND have a solid base to get to 250+ on this wkt.
PAK will look to suffocate IND's strokemakers, to stem the RR and look for wkts & keep them down to under 220.

I will let you know, maybe I can join in for a short while.

With Nilakshika's wkt, IND are firmly on top. RR is 8+ over the last 12 ov, something that looks beyond SL tail's grasp.

SL would be disappointed as multiple top and middle order batters were able to get starts, but none were able to bat on and make a 50+ score. #INDvSL #WWC2025

Armchair Cricket Podcast @armchair-cricket.bsky.social · 8d

With 2 wkts in 2ov, those of Gunaratne and Samarawickrama, IND have moved into a strong position with SL at 105/4.

However SL have a strong middle and lower order. Can they make a fight of it against the mounting RR?
#INDvSL #WWC2025

Armchair Cricket Podcast @armchair-cricket.bsky.social · 8d

Wonderful recovery from Amanjot and Sharma to take IND from 124/6 to 200+ all the way upping the run-rate.

Now that the slog overs are beginning, will they be able to continue in the same vein, taking IND past 250?
Anything under that, SL will start the 2nd innings as favourites. #INDvSL #WWC2025

This is a big blow for WI ahead of the #INDvWI #TestSeries.

With no Josephs, Seales will be leading a fairly inexperienced attack against a new look IND team looking to comeback strong after the 3-0 vs NZ.

RIP Dickie, you had a great innings!

Legendary Test cricket umpire Dickie Bird dies

The Yorkshireman stood in 66 Test matches over a 23-year umpiring career, but his warmth, popularity and witty, quirky interactions with players transcended his on-field exploits.

A big difference between the two sides was no doubt the IND openers' shot-making and initiative.

But with the bowling lynch-pins off colour on both sides, the PAK bowling support cast also need to take a look at themselves.

No wonder Abhishek looked so disappointed. He gave it away with a half-hearted shot when all he had to do was just stay in. He had a 100 in his grasp.

With 2 new batters at the crease, PAK has a chance to earn some dots, put pressure back on IND and start wobble. #INDvPAK #Super4s #AsiaCup

Armchair Cricket Podcast @armchair-cricket.bsky.social · 17d

They faltered and you have 2 wkts in 2 ov!

PAK cannot give IND a fast start, so they'll want to tighten up on the lengths. Gill yet to play a decisive innings in #AsiaCup. So watch out for that!

When does Abrar come in? 5th ov if IND get away with a fast start?
#INDvPAK #Super4s

Armchair Cricket Podcast @armchair-cricket.bsky.social · 17d

As heard on commentary, IND will have to achieve their highest chase against PAK in #T20Is to win this game.
But they will back themselves to get it.

The start crucial for both sides. So a spicy powerplay coming up! #INDvPAK #AsiaCup #Super4s
