ICC T20 World Cup 2024: Cummins' hat trick, Jasprit Bumrah's the best & England's statement win

[@GotheBlackCaps-wf9ku]

We're all running out of superlatives for Bumrah - he's so so good! Super computer is a great way of putting it. Seems to know exactly what to do at every moment.

[@thetoporderpodcast]

Absolutely top class - great to watch.

Has been a little unnoticed but I believe it’s good because every tournament everyone puts India as the best team and we don’t win trophy But the good thing this time, they looked good under pressure, no chaos when they were under pressure + Every other time India’s top 3 used to win the games, but this time middle order, which has always been a problem, has performed really well. Imagine if Kohli and Rohit starts scoring.

[@thetoporderpodcast]

Yes if that top order hits form for this next week India is going to be very very hard to beat.

great podcast this week

Another win for South Africa overnight - maybe Baldy is right about them!

[@roobanloganathan6498]

More than 1/2 of Indian supporters are not confident this team will even enter the final as they are seeing how the two openers n Dube are not firing and should not be in the team at all. Most probably if the team is lucky, they can finish as runners up again. But if they meet England, can say goodbye to the tournament.

[@thetoporderpodcast]

Interesting - is there no feeling that they’ve made it this far despite quiet tournaments from some of those batters, so maybe they hit form right when it matters most?

[@roobanloganathan6498]

@@thetoporderpodcast There’s hardly any confidence that these 3 will hit top form in this tournament and many are clamouring for Kohli to be shifted to number 3 and Dube dropped.

[@nsn5564]

I have more confidence in Dube than Kohli, who should not have been in the side. I still think Jaiswal and Gill should have been the openers. Dube batted well in at least one match.

[@roobanloganathan6498]

@@nsn5564 You perfectly know that Kohli is undroppable from the squad or playing XI as he is like a god for millions of his fans in India. BCCI didn’t want to face the wrath of millions of indians thus they selected him. Only way Kohli won’t be playing is if he retires from the format.

[@beautifulbridgetmb]

@@roobanloganathan6498 I wonder if they will consider Samson?

[@nsn5564]

I was really surprised to see SL and NZ not make the next round, and I'm wondering if it's a major shift in cricket power.

[@thetoporderpodcast]

Hope it doesn’t shift for too long in the case of New Zealand! 😀

[@nsn5564]

As an Indian cricket fan, I am convinced they're going to lose in the semis. I give them no chance of winning the whole thing.

[@Riyal_ViratKohli]

I know you don't want jinx bro but your heart is beating 💓 hard 😂

[@thetoporderpodcast]

Well for your sake let’s hope they go all the way!

[@nsn5564]

That Jasprit Bumrah was not the PotG/MotM is a travesty of the highest order. When he bowls 4 overs close to maidens never mind the wickets, it's absolutely the difference between the teams. He completely changes the game and the opposition's strategy.

[@thetoporderpodcast]

Yes that was a tough one. Top knock from SKY, but Bumrah put an end to the contest very quickly once he came on to bowl.

[@Riyal_ViratKohli]

Bro they can't give motm to Bumrah in every game he is just too good
