Zimbabwe라이브 바카라 batting depth was never enough to surpass that score and they were shot out for 115 in 17.2 overs with Ravichandran Ashwin (3/22) enjoying a good day at the office.바카라 웹사이트

India finished on top of group 2 and will now play their fourth T20 World Cup semifinal (after 2007, 2014, 2016) against Jos Buttler라이브 바카라 England in Adelaide on November 10. If Kohli on October 23 lit up the MCG with a knock for the ages, November 6 resembled a rock-concert where the length of Surya라이브 바카라 shadow grew with every passing stroke.

Zimbabwe pacer Blessing Muzarabani, after being hit for a couple of boundaries, had the ball slipped out of this hand on his run-up stride. He was basically shaken and nervous.

Indian cricket has seen a lot of supple wrists but malleable ones coupled with brute power are a rarity. Surya is indeed a rare breed. On Sunday, he reaffirmed his status as world's number one T20 batter with the help of six fours and four sixes. 바카라 웹사이트 바카라 웹사이트

The last five overs yielded as many as 79 runs and bulk of them were scored by the Mumbaikar. The casual ramp shot to guide left-armer Richard Ngarava라이브 바카라 full-toss behind third-man, the slog sweep behind square using the pace of the delivery or the imperious inside out loft over extra cover of Tendai Chatara, Surya oozed class with each and every shot.바카라 웹사이트

But certainly, the unforgettable ones were the last over slog sweeps off Ngarava as Surya fetched the deliveries outside the off-stump and deposited them behind deep fine leg. If that was not enough, he finished with a six over fine leg. 바카라 웹사이트

Zimbabwe라이브 바카라 slow bowlers – left-arm spinners Wellington Masakadza (0/12 in 2 overs), Sikandar Raza (1/18 in 3 overs) and Sean Williams (2/9 in 2 overs) did a terrific job between overs 7 to 15 as they literally bottled up the peerless Virat Kohli (26 off 25 balls).바카라 웹사이트But Surya and Hardik Pandya (18 off 18 balls) added 65 in just 5.5 overs to negate the good work done by Craig Ervine라이브 바카라 slow bowlers.바카라 웹사이트

Blessing Muzarabani (0/50 in 4 overs), Ngarava (1/44 in 4 overs) and Tendai Chatara (0/34 in 4 overs) gave 138 runs in the 12 overs between them.바카라 웹사이트

The pull-shot, which over the years brought a lot of laurels, contributed to Rohit Sharma라이브 바카라 (15) downfall once again as he was slightly late to launch into a short ball from Muzarabani and was caught at square leg boundary.

Kohli strode in purposefully and the first delivery by Muzarabani was clipped off his legs for a boundary but the classic ‘hold your pose’ shot was a short-arm whip of spinner Wellington Masakadza but did get stuck against the Zimbabwean spinners post Powerplay. Veteran Williams finally got him when the batter came too close to the pitch of the delivery for a lofted drive to be caught at at long-off.

Having played a maiden over first up off Richard Ngarava, K L Rahul (51 off 35) finally teed off with a six behind square off the same bowler and since then looked a different player till he completed his second fifty of the competition.

A back-cut off Muzarabani gave him enough confidence before he launched into Ryan Burl라이브 바카라 short-pitched deliveries – first a six over long-on and the second slog-sweep just fell inside the ropes.

A straight third six into the sight screen off a Sikandar Raza long-hop brought his second fifty off 33 deliveries before going for a second one over long-off brought about his downfall. Rishabh Pant's (2)라이브 바카라 confidence after being dropped had dipped and it showed as he departed quickly before Surya changed the course of the innings.
