#India vs #Bangladesh #MCG 19th Mar 2015 If the first drinks break belonged to India (70 for no loss after 16 overs), the second one definitely belongs to Bangladesh (132 for 3, 31 overs) #RubelHossain, #ShakibAlHasan and #TaskinAhmed changed fortunes for Bangladesh in that second session with great lines, pace, bounce and overall intensity. India batsmen suddenly got bogged down and started losing way completely. #LIVE #CRICKET #SCORE India: 132 for 3 (31 overs) Powered By: http://www.whowillwinthecup.com
#India vs #Bangladesh #MCG 19th Mar 2015 The drinks break has done the trick for Bangladesh. They have struck two quick blows to get right back in the game. First, #ShakibAlHasan foxed #ShikharDhawan in the air and #Mushfiqur completed a smart stumping. In the very next over, a fiesty duel ensued between #RubelHossain and #ViratKohli. Some word exchanges later he pushed one outside the off luring Kohli to go for a cover drive and whoa! edge ... caught behind. The celebrations were amazing. A a great send off to Kohli too!! Bangladesh pumped up.. Match on an even keel yet again. Its all happening at the MCG. #LIVE #CRICKET #SCORE India: 86 for 2, 20 overs Rohit Sharma: 43* Ajinkya Rahane - 3* Powered By: http://www.whowillwinthecup.com
#India vs #Bangladesh #MCG 19th Mar 2015 India openers #RohitSharma and #ShikharDhawan have started cautiously but steadily against the Bangladesh attack. After attacking the Bangladesh skipper all over the park, the other seamers and spinners have pulled it back a bit. Surprisingly, the spinners have done well and tied the batsmen down. Dhawan and Sharma trying to consolidate before changing gears. Bangladesh need to stay in the game and not allow the Indians to get away. #LIVE #CRICKET #SCORE India: 72 for No loss, 16 overs Rohit Sharma: 33* Shikhar Dhawan: 28* Powered By: http://www.whowillwinthecup.com
#India vs #Bangladesh #MCG 19th Mar 2015 Indian skipper #MSDhoni won the toss and had no hesitation deciding to bat first on a belter of a #MCG pitch. The warm afternoon and swirling winds will help India batsmen to settle down and pile up a huge score. An unchanged India team! Dhoni going by the cliche - Dont tinker around a winning combination. Skipper #MashrafeMortaza back in the Bangladesh side. Let the game of the Asians begin... Powered By: http://www.whowillwinthecup.com
Virat likes to be in the center of things. Read More.. He likes to be admired and respected. If allowed to be in control of situations he will do wonders. He is an honest and well informed person others can safely rely on him for any kind of judgment. Love him or hate him you cannot ignore him.
Consciously or unconsciously he is committed to his game and wants to be the number one. His greatest challenge is self reliance. He needs to be confident and the way forward for him is to understand that as long as he relies on others for a sense of self worth he will not be in control of his life. He needs to go out and show his worth.
Luck is enhanced when he celebrates being who he is for only when he is comfortable with himself can he be confident in his skill and talents, attracting the luck and recognition he deserves.
If he is able to establish his sense of identity he will do tremendously well.
His Power Thought “I am at the center of my world. What I think and feel matters”.
MS Dhoni is remarkable. His destiny is powerful. His soaring imagination will cause him to support projects that seem unfeasible and then surprises and confuses everyone by showing that they are indeed feasible. The key to achieve the impossible is their rare combination of imagination and fierce determination.
The greatest challenge for him is dealing with criticism or rejection, the way forward for him is to take on board what is being said and learn from it. Criticism and rejection are simply stepping stones on the way to success.
He has to toughen up emotionally become more objective and realistic in his approach to the game play. He is truly ingenious and creative.
His luck maker is when he confronts something bigger and tougher than him the tough gets going if he trusts his intuitions he is in for a bigger role and happenings in life.
His Power Thought ‘”From now on I will look at every obstacle as an opportunity.”
The Bangladesh cubs have grown into tigers and they are challenging the established kings of the jungle. That's the best way to describe this contest when Bangladesh takes on India in the second quarterfinal at the MCG.
This is India's game to win, and this is where Bangladesh can take full advantage of being the underdogs. When you have nothing to lose, you can do no wrong. They should not forget this and go all out against the big brother. Memories of the 2007 world cup match will be fresh on their minds when they stunned the Indians in West Indies and dispatched them home in the league stage then.
India on the other hand are playing dream cricket. They are probably the only team in this tournament that have looked convincing and comprehensive in all their wins so far. Their bowling, the weakest of their armoury, has struck a wonderful rhythm. Back that up with stunning fielding and powerpacked batting, they are the team to beat at this #CWC15.
Bangladesh rely heavily on #TamimIqbal (short of runs and out of form), #ShakibAlHasan (good with the ball so far) and #MushfiqurRahim (always dependable) in their batting department but the revelation at this world cup has been #Mahmudullah. He has played stunning cricket. His back to back centuries vs England and New Zealand indicate his skills, temperament and ability to battle the bigger teams. #SowmyaSarkar is doing well too.
Bowling remains their biggest concern. Apart from #MashrafeMortaza and to some extent #RubelHossain, they seem to have an inexperienced bowling attack that India will look to exploit.
India's batting at the top has been iffy to say the least in last game vs Zim. They have persisted with #RohitSharma in the opening slot (just like SA have put faith in QuintonDeKock). He would like to come to the party tomorrow ala deKock who stroked a wonderful 78* vs Sri Lanka at the SCG.
Lower middle order seems to be a problem area too. #RavindraJadeja, #RaviAshwin and #MohamadShami haven't had much practice batting and not tested by lethal bowling units.
All in all, a mouth watering contest on the cards at the MCG. Expect a full house and amazing atmosphere at the ground.
In what can be termed as the most commanding and comprehensive performance of #CWC15 considering the stakes of a knockout match, South Africa literally crushed Sri Lanka mercilessly at the Sydney Cricket Ground in front of a large gathering of Sri Lankan supporters who were subdued for most part of the contest .. well if you can call it a contest?
The only right thing that happened for Sri Lanka today was the spin of the coin going in their favour. They promptly elected to bat considering the big match situation, SA's struggles chasing scores against India and Pakistan and belter of a Sydney pitch. Put runs on the board, loads of them and put the opposition under pressure was the overall plan.
And then it went haywire. Partly due to their own "surprise moves" that badly backfired on them and mostly due to an outstanding spell of seam and spin bowling from the Proteas.
#DaleSteyn, criticized for not being upto the mark in this world cup, showed why he is the best in business with very incisive pace bowling that strangled SA batsmen. #KyleAbbott reaped rewards for nagging line and length bowling while #MorneMorkel's bounce troubled all batsmen, mostly the Sri Lankan skipper #AngeloMathews.
When #ImranTahir and #JPDuminy came onto ball, you sensed Lanka would crawl back into the game but all that was negated by Tahir's brilliant opening spell claiming #Thirimanna (the best Lankan batsman on view today) and #Jayawardena (the champion was literally made to look like a rookie unable to read Imran's guile and spin).
Duminy, then joined the act claiming a first ever #hattrick for South Africa at a world cup and the celebrations were amazing. With the back broken, the only superstar of Sri Lankan batting in this cup, #KumarSangakarra could do nothing but go for his shots and lost his wicket too. He scored 45 in 96 balls .. an indicator of how well the Springboks bowled to keep a man (in supreme form) quiet.
Sri Lanka annihilated for 133 in 37 overs. Game over!
The only hope for Sri Lanka was their other "surprise" of the day. #ThirmanduKaushal, an off spinner (in the Murali mould) to expose SA's frailty against spin. But, the SA batsmen would have nothing of him and they completed a near perfect victory in just 18 overs. #QuintonDeKock, the most persisted with SA batsman, finally came good and scored a much needed 78*.
Bitter farewell for Sanga and Jaya, the two stalwarts of Sri Lankan cricket. They will hang their boots shortly. All the best to them for their personal lives.
#LIVE #CRICKET #SCORE Sri Lanka - 133 all out, 37 overs South Africa - 134 for 1, 18 overs
Man of the Match: Imran Tahir - 4 wickets
South Africa now await winner of the 4th quarterfinal (New Zealand or West Indies) for their semi-final clash.
