Grat batting display there by our lads!

Not so good by the bowlers.
Expected more from the bowlers.
197 is tough to chase.

Good win for us. Kohli's amazing batting display and Yuvi's all round performance helped us to win the match.

[Gaurav_7]

Brilliant innings from Kohli. Well supported by Yuvi. We started so well with the ball but again couldn't take any wickets after the first six overs. We were lucky to get away as both Maxwell and Finch were set and could have gone for the kill but it didn't happen. Still need better performance from the bowlers.

 

[Aravind.]

Guptill & Baz ensured us to get a easy win. Although all our bowlers performed well on a greenish pitch, but Boult's unusual expensive spell got them to a respectable score...

24th Match, Pool A: Ireland v Bangladesh at Mumbai
Pitch: Uneven

Spoiler: Pitch description

Hard - A hard pitch with a lot of bounce on offer, and will suit batsmen who play on the back foot well. The ball is bound to reverse swing in the end.
Uneven - Great pitch for teams batting first, and bowlers who can bowl reverse swingers later in the innings. Ideal to produce matches like this.
Sticky - Offers no swing, spin or seam whatsoever. The worst pitch to play cricket on.
Flat - It's simply a road.
Slow - Slow pitch, the ball comes on to the bat late. But runs can be scored quite easily off the bowlers once set.
Dusty - Great pitch for spinners and all sorts of batsmen.
Green - A heaven for fast bowlers and players who play on the back foot well.
