India and New Zealand will run away with this, with England and South Africa finishing in the top 4 unless Australia can sort themselves out or Pakistan do something special.

Absolute scenes if Pakistan pull off a win tomorrow.

It's quite possible. 50/50 in fact.

India's game management has been really good so far, even when they've come under pressure. Would just love to see Shaheen get right into them as see if that changes that.

I want to see shaheen smashed all over the park.

Pakistan's whole bowling attack can be lethal. If its not Shaheen it's Rauf, and if not him then it can be Hasan Ali. 

 

I just have faith that the whole of our batting line up is strong. We've seen already if one opener falls, Rahul and Kohli are in top form to back up. 

 

I'm nervous nonetheless.

Let's hope it's a close game 👍

[leicsmac]

As a rather opinionated neutral, a tie, two super overs and a mass brawl with multiple suspended players please.

[deejdeej]

Wasn't there loads of trouble in Leicester the last time these 2 played in a world Cup? 

[StanSP]

Two fortunate wickets. Siraj's then that Kuldeep one. Needed that though especially to break up the Babar and Rizwan partnership. 

[Super_horns]

India looking good here .

Pakistan 5 wickets down for 166.

 

 

[StanSP]

Bumrah! 

[leicsmac]

Yeah, barring a spectacular bowling performance from Pakistan, this one might end up being a bit anticlimactic again.

This!

Need to keep them under 200.

[StanSP]

155-2 to 190-9.

Superb. 

[Chiltern Fox]

And that's how we do that ! Fingers x for indian chase. 

[Lionator]

My god Bumrah is a freak of a bowler.

[leicsmac]

When Bumrah runs hot, he really does. Fair play.

 

As per above, think this is over as a contest already tbh, barring a miracle bowling performance from Pakistan.

[goody2028]

Wow what a collapse. Unreal bowling tho, Bumrah on fire. 
 

Also how shite was the umpire, 2 of the most obvious lbw’s missed

I think one of them I reckon he thinks it might have brushed the bat.

Fair play only really saw the highlight replay of the first one I think it was 

[StanSP]

What a start.

Curse of Stan there
