111/3 after 10. Rachin looking particularly dangerous today so far

Not sure if 208/6 enough especially after that start on a slow pitch but runs on the board

Bizarrely our run rate fell through the floor against spinners when the dew hit.
I don't think our spinners will be so lucky.

We just couldn’t get a decent partnership to stick. Thought we would have been better against the spin with the dew but yeah we didn’t take advantage

Well that’s a paddling

India can bat eh. Going to be hard to beat them in their conditions.
Given the ongoing similarities between Baseball and T20, I wonder if knockouts should be a best of 3 or 5 ... more eyeballs, reduce the randomness.

To be fair we can bat too, we really under achieved against their spinners in that match. If we did get a decent partnership going we would have been more competitive.
Strangely more confident playing a tournament in India with our squad than elsewhere. Host nation without a doubt though will be tough to beat but think we are better than most others in local conditions -
@bayimports good post
But really how much world you need to post to be confident of beating this team at home. Or would be a lot

Belted them 3 zip in tests, won the ODI series on their soil. T20 different beast I get it, but conditions aren’t the problem.
They’re currently our biatch in other formats as I remind my work colleagues every time I visit Bangalore
, surprised my visa hasn’t been cancelled lol -

@Sprinko 1 over for 17.
Not the worst figures. But when the best is 1 for 28 off two, you're royally fucked
Chapman is a good player. He's not the problem in this side. Indian cricket is focused on t20 and it's paying off big-time
Yup, T20 has been around for about 20 years now meaning there’s a generation of cricketers especially in India who are growing up purely playing that form of the game.
Some of their batting is unreal, 14 ball 50s, strike rates over 300..
