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

India Vs Pakistan - History as it has been in ICC Champions Trophy

                                  "Nothing can get better then this" If you are a cricket lover, this would certainly be your thought for the cricket match lined up on this Sunday, India vs Pakistan, final of the ICC Champions Trophy, 2017. Whenever the two teams play against each other plenty of emotions flow on the day. Happiness and celebrations at one side of the LOC and grief and pain on the other.

She along with Raut started to move the scoreboard along.  Raut was looking in great form and was hitting the ball very nicely. Mithali's inning was little on a slower side, however she completed her fifty in the 33rd over of the innings before getting out for 69 from 114 deliveries.  Mithali Raj became the first Women cricketer to complete 6000 runs in international cricket  Mithali Raj en-route her innings today became t
