Super 10 Group 2: India v Pakistan at Kolkata, March 19

118 after 18 /18

There is a marked difference in pitches between Group 1 and Group 2. The pitches in Group 1 have been flat as a pancake and encouraged teams to bat second, while the pitches used in this group have offered appreciable spin and warranted teams batting first.

I can't see India failing to knock these runs down, but should they fail to do so, I hope we don't see any ugly scenes.

How good is Mohammad Amir? Of what I saw in the Asia Cup and now at this World Cup, he is on a different level to the rest of the pace bowlers.

4.4
Sami to Raina, OUT, bowled him! Raina has played on too and his leg stump has taken a battering!

SK Raina  b Mohammad Sami  DUCK.

54 - 3 after 9 overs

60 - 3 after 10/18

Pakistan desperately need to break this partnership. India still have plenty of batting to come. Kohli's class showing through.

11.6
Wahab Riaz to Yuvraj Singh, OUT,mis-times the pull and hits it straight to the fielder at cow corner!

UV c Sami b Wahab 24.

Pakistan needed that, though probably too little too late with Kholi still at the crease and Dhoni, Jadeja and Ashwin in the hut.

Pak should have kept that Spinner.

Strategy should be to keep a tight NRR

in this Loss..
