Indian's dominance in ICC champions trophy over the chattery neigbours

                                                 
                       
                         Immature players, immature fans get the treatment they actually deserved for all the talking and shameless acts they do on social networks. This again shows that it's better to speak through your work then your mouth. Amazing cricket played by Indian cricket team. They rose to the occasion and thrashed the very irresponsible set of players. Match started with India winning the toss and electing to bowl first. Bangladesh opened with Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar and the latter got out pretty soon on a duck on the last ball of Bhuvneshwar and match's first over. Then came Shabbir Rahman,  who looked in real hurry and after striking few quick runs he got caught at point by Jadeja on the bowling of Bhuvneshwar. Next in was Rahim who steadied the batting with Tamim at other end playing watchfully. Indian bowlers were finding it hard to break the partnership and then trying few things they gave the bowl to Kedar Jadhav who did finally broke the partnership of 123 runs with getting Tamim to miss a ball and hitting his stumps to get him out for a well made 70 and then Bangladesh could hardly find a stable partnership after that. Rahim tried hard to stay on wicket with hard fought 61 eventually giving his wicket away playing a fulltoss from Kedar straight to Virat Kohli. Bangladesh team could eventually only mange 264 for 7 from their full quota of 50 Overs. Bhuvneshwar, Bumrah and Kedar shared 2 wickets each with Jadeja getting one scalp.
                                            Indian openers came in to the field with mischievous target to chase. Once again the opening partnership of Gabbar and Ro-hit man Sharma was quick and classy well capitalized by Virat Kohli, playing the most fluent innings of the tournament.                      
                                                                                                                                         
                                                Hit man of Indian cricket team played with his ever classy lazy elegance. Sometimes he gives a feeling that no bowler in present teams around world can get his wicket, it's only Rohit who will give his wicket to any bowler. As many as eight bowlers were used by Bangladeshi captain and other then the captain himself all the bowlers gave run at over an economy of 6 runs an over. Dhawan(46), Rohit(123*) and Kohli(96*) really made the mockery of the target with getting par the target in just 40.1 overs                          
                                                                    

with Virat Kohli hitting the winning runs.
                         
                                       
                                                       
                                                 Comprehensive win this was from Indian cricket team to reach the final of the ICC champions trophy, 2017. Now, once again it's Sunday (league match against Pakistan was also on Sunday) and it's India Vs Pakistan. What else can you expect from a tournament of this stature.
PS: In all the limelight being on batsmen for their classic chase I would specially mention Kedar Jadhav for his bowling effort. Some commentator was stating that may be India should have played Umesh instead of Kedar and suddenly BOOM, Kedar did hit the stumps and bowled out Tamim and getting Rahim caught by Virat. He was really the game changer today. So commendable on selectors part to select him in the playing 11. Cheers fellow Indians and other cricket lovers around world other then our two very own neighbours.
Brief score : Bangladesh 264/7, 50 Ovrs, Tamim 70(82), M Rahim 61(85), K Jadhav 2/22, J Bumrah 2/39
India 265/1, 40.1 Ovrs, Rohit 123*(129), Virat 96*(78), M Mortaza 1/29

Zimbabwe triumphed over weaker Sri-Lankan side, wins the fifth ODI to win the series

Zimbabwe created history winning an ODI series against Sri-Lanka in their courtyard. They won the fifth and last match to take the series 3-2. It can be eyed as the lowest point for the Sri-Lankan team who had never lost to the bottom ranked teams at home. Zimbabwe won an away series after eight years Zimbabwe won the fifth match against Sri-Lanka by 3 wickets while chasing the target of 204 runs. Srilanka batting first could only manage 203 runs from their 50 overs in the series decider. It was a poor batting performance from them as none of their batsmen were able to score freely against the brilliant spin bowling display from Raza and cremer. They both took wickets and were very economical. They gave no loose balls to any of the Sri-Lankan batters. Gunathilaka and Gunaratne both made their individual fifties but they both batted with a poor strike rate of 60.47 and 72.84 respectively. Sri Lanka batsmen played very slow and were unable to even rotate strike for singles and ...
