Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli share a huge hug to mark the end of a very successful partnership. KL Rahul punches teh ball past mid-off and that's that! India end the tournament on a high. Loftie-Eaton goes full and wide and SKY rolls his wrist to guide the ball behind point for 4.
So much quality in this batting line-up. Fullish from Trumpelmann and Rahul times it over the in-field very comfortably for 4. Short but slow outside of off. SKY fetches it and pulls it through deep mid-wicket for 4. Loftie-Eaton will be wondering what more can he do. Not a bad ball at ball but Suryakumar just shows top-notch innovation and bravery to step forward and scoop him to fine leg for 4.
Straying on the leg, is van Lingen, and Rahul brings his wrists into play again and he effortlessly chips it over deep square for 4. Tossed up from Loftie-Eaton, Suryakumar steps away, presents the full face of the bat and goes inside-out over cover for 4. What a pickup shot! Frylinck drags it down leg again and Rahul just rolls his wrist to collect six over deep fine leg. Incredible hit. Rohit's entertaining innings come to an end as Namibia finally hold onto a catch to get rid off Rohit.
Full ball and Rohit crouches low and looks to slog it over leg. But he top edges the ball to Namibian keeper Zane Green. A juicy half volley and Rohit charges down the track and thumps is up and over the bowler's head for 4. JJ Smit drags onto Rohit's pads and he flicks it nonchalantly past the short fine leg fielder for 4.
Too easy for a player of his class. His 24th in the format in international cricket. Stellar numbers. Jan Frylinck's slower ball goes wrong and allows Rohit to collect 4 more with a pull shot. Short and wide from Scholtz and Rohit Sharma cut it comfortably off the backfoot for 4.
Tossed up from Scholtz and Rohit dances down the track and he hits the ball into the night sky and over the long on boundary. Short from Wiese and Rahul tonks the ball over the deep mid-wicket for six.
With this four, he brings up T20I runs. Back of a length from Trumpelmann. Rohit plays through the line and smashes the ball past mid-off for 4. A second boundary for Rohit and every time he scores a boundary, van Lingen will feel the pinch. He backs away, makes room and lofts the ball over the in-field through extra cover for 4. Wiese strays down leg and angles the ball into Rohit's ribcage. But Rohit gets inside the line of the ball and pulls the ball over long leg for 6.
Trumpelmann is livid as Rohit's one-legged pull finds van Lingen at short fine leg but the Namibian fails to hold on and the ball trickles down to the fence. Ruben Trumpelmann to open Namibia's attack. India need runs in balls to give a fitting farewell to their head coach and his coaching staff. The surface had decent bounce and there's a strong cross breeze. Whatever happens for the spinner happens in the air, with little cross breeze, it is very helpful. Going along with the variations, change of pace is very important to get the dot balls.
Whenever the seam position was right and whenever you slowed it down, it just held in the wicket a touch. It's one of those surface where you always want to bowl first. I don't know how it's going to be with the dew but today's surface was better than what we played on last time.
Dew is a very big factor and how much ever you practice with the dew, the ball is not going to come back to proper condition. The pitch also tends to skid on more with a bit of dew on it. Those are external factors you can't control, but when you do have cross breeze like this and when you can bowl into it, it's absolutely wonderful.
It is one of those games where any team will find it hard to get out there and play but having said that wearing the India colours and representing India every single time is a matter of pride and we all know that. We wanted to give it our best, things went alright. Hopefully the second innings is good as well. Straight an into the slot. Trumpelmann clears the front leg and goes down town. Short from Shami and Trumpelmann pulls the ball to cow corner.
Rahul darts to his right from long on and he rolls with his shoulders and arms under his body. He is okay to continue now. A slower ball from Bumrah and Wiese is completely outfoxed. He chips the ball to Rohit Sharma near extra-cover. Wieser and Frylinck run a quick single and Jadeja releases a bullet throw from point. But the throw was so fast that it beat the fielders in the deep. Jadeja can never be kept away from the action.
JJ Smit charges down the track but times the ball miserably. Eventually, Rohit Sharma dives forward at cover to complete a sharp catch. David Wiese score a boundary through the backward point region. Short and wide and he slashes hard at it. Another edge that fetches 4 for Namibia. R Ashwin picks up his second wicket. Another soft dismissal as skipper Erasmus is caught behind. Drag down from Chahar and Erasmus makes him pay by rocking onto the backfoot and pulling it through deep mid-wicket for 4.
Some luck for Wiese as the ball flies the outside edge to the third man boundary. That almost happened in slow-mo. Upon seeing some flight, Loftie-Eaton presses forward but the sudden dip pushes him back. He is, as a result, late on the cut shot and he ends up nicking it to Rohit Sharma in the slips.
Ashwin strikes as Scotland see the back of Loftie-Eaton for 5. Rahul Chahar gives away 5 runs from his second over. Down on one knee, Baard plays a heavy swipe to hit the ball behind square for 4. Next ball, Baard misses another sweep and this time, he is struck on the pads and is given out. In , it is a strict no no to have three world-class players whose first instinct is to accumulate and then go for shots in T20 cricket.
That seemed to have rubbed off in the rest of the Indian batting unit. The pitches in UAE are not conducive for strokeplay on the up, especially when batting first but that in no way means there won't be intent.
If India's batters can bat without the fear of losing wickets then they can be as destructive as anyone, something that they desperately need to bring their campaign back on track. India had picked five spinners and only three specialist seam bowling options in their initial member squad.
Even then, they were left with four genuine spinners, meaning their thought process before the tournament was to strangle the opposition with spin.
And rightly so. The slow nature of the UAE pitches, the bigger boundaries make spinners a match-winning option. But for reasons unknown, there has been no sign of that in their XI in the first two matches.
They went with two spinners and decided to bench Ashwin and Rahul Chahar - perhaps their best bets to pick wickets in the middle. The choice of seamers too haven't been that convincing. Yes, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has not been at his best but he provides extra options at the death.
Even if India had somehow managed to give a plus target, it would have been very difficult to defend. Most matches lost when batted first in T20Is:. With the last defeat at the hands of New Zealand in Dubai, India recorded their 3rd consecutive defeat in the T20 World Cup, including their defeat in against West Indies. Who would have thought that India will find themselves in the position they are in. They began the tournament as favourites but are now on the brink of elimination.
Virat Kohli's men find themselves in an unprecedented situation and are knocking on exit door. After two successive defeats, they now face an exciting Afghanistan side, which is marshalled by Mohammad Nabi. Can the Afghans ruin the Indians' party or will the "Men in Blue" finally get off the mark? Well, you know what I am going to say next. Strap yourself in, grab your snacks and drinks and relax.
