This is probably first time I have seen indian team nervous and pakistan team calm right from the start(toss), every BATSMAN bowler looked scared

Credit to be given where its due. Pakistan team was hungrier for the win..Sharp in the field, good bowling and surprises of surprises the area they really improved is running between the wickets.. Didn't get bogged down, rotated the strike brilliantly and had a definite game plan..Congrats to the Pakistani team..

[robinsmith]

Pakistan deserved this victory especially the way Ramiz Raja and the Pakistan team handled the snub by other teams whe it came to touring their country.
This victory was for their fans.

Looking forward to seeing we pick ourselves after this loss because none of these guys have played together that often. And this isn't IPL where we play against 4 overseas players. Here they playing against 11 of the best players of a country and team bonding is crucial

I am a Pakistani and I was relieved to see Bumrah not bowling the first over lol. I can kinda understand Bhuvi's first over because of the swing/seam he extracts with the new ball but that 2nd over from Shami and not using Bumrah in powerplay at all shows defensive mindset which was a big mistake

[saurabhb]

Pakistan played like a modern day professional unit. They’re definitely catching up with their professionalism. Pakistan is used to winning through individual brilliance - this was a thorough drubbing of the highest class. The level of maturity displayed by their batters who were never bothered and kept pushing for 2s and 1s, shows a kind of calmness unseen in their setup. Well played!

[jahangirkhan]

After the toss Babar answer was noticeable when the commentator ask that this wll b pakistan bowling vs indian bating? Babar said that this time pakistani bating has slightly edge over pakistan bowling, but no one notice that... He was very confident about his batsmen

[axelthegod]

Now where is the Pakistan haters....where is the Indians that said Pakistan is a loser team and Baber can only play against Zimbabwe where are they now.... Pakistan alll love from South Africa

[paramjitsingh]

Before Today Pakistan never won a T20I game by 10 Wickets. India never lost a T20I game by 10 Wickets. Pakistan never won against India in World Cup. Now all three happened.

[mohitmukhi]

That was a hammering!! Big respect to Pakistan, they are a serious team this time around

[phanimeghana]

Pandya is terrible against short balls. Every team has figured it out now.

[robinsmith]

Bit disappointed with management to not use Bumrah as a strike bowler in the powerplay. Defending 152, Needed Bumrah in the 1st and 3rd over to knock Rizwan and Babar would have dented Pakistan's chances. Because that opening duo was Pakistans strength with just Zaman capable of striking 140+

[naveedsiddiqui]

The most neutral and based Indian comment section i've seen in a while, really good to see people giving appreciation where it is due. Best of Luck for the upcoming matches India, looking forward to see India again in the knockout stages.

As Indian cricket fans, we just need to salute the Pakistan team because they were outstanding today. Terrific with the ball and serenely efficient with the bat and India was about as flat as they could have possibly been. Again, India comes undone against Pakistani left armers. From Wasim, to Aamir, to Afridi, Pakistani left armers have a habit of tormenting the Indian top order. The warning bells went off immediately for me after they were 6/2. Kohli just was unable to break free. Pant was the only one who managed to score at a decent rate. Kohli and Jadeja got out at the wrong time. Set batsmen are the ones who have to accelerate and they were unable to do so so India were at least 15 runs below par. Dubai is not a 150 pitch. But worse than the batting was the completely ineffective and flat bowling performance. That was just saddening to watch. Rizwan and Babar were outstanding. Countering the spinners with ease. But the fact was that none of the Indian bowlers even looked remotely threatening and the body language was also flat. The only good thing for India is that this performance came at the beginning of the tournament. They have time to turn it around and they can't honestly play any worse. If Pakistan play like this, then they are very strong candidates to be winners.

Now NZ becomes a knockout match. Even AFG match with battery of spinners they have is not going to be easy for india.

[zyrrre]

Well it goes without saying that teams not playing against Pakistan is their own loss. Even in IPL, for all these years no one has seen bowls like what Shaheen swung in yesterday at full speed. What Rohit Sharma and what KL Rahul when there's a 145kph full pitched bananas coming in at you. Huge respect! Clearly the favorites now Pakistan..

[phanimeghana]

Shaheen Afridi is now a headache for other teams just like Mohammad Amir was

[kuldeepsingh]

India is not benefitting from IPL, BCCI is making money and India is losing big matches. Don't think IPL gives exposure of a big pressure games and India is not even picking players who are performing in IPL.

[rahulmenon]

India routed on a day when Pak played their best cricket in 10 years 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 no excuses for India despite having 5 IPL captains on the ground !!!

[mikalbippin]

Congratulations to Pakistan. Opening pair is incredible and Shaheen Shah Afridi is clearly the future of cricket. Hopefully we get to see India back and Pakistan vs India in a banger match again.

[arcnth]

If it was known that hardik wasn't going to doesn't make sense in picking him as a pure batsman over other finishers like ishan kisan or shardul. Bumrah was also underutilized. But it's good to have the pressure of 5-0 off our shoulders.
