Tactics and Strategy for Semi Final?


Recommended Posts

Bat first? Bowl first?

 

What changes would you make and why? Or same winning team?

 

Will kohli keep to the aggressive bowling and fielding captaincy that helped choke SA or will it be like the SL game where they expected SL to collapse and let them coast with easy singles?

 

Expecting an Indian win but can't take any opposition lightly.

I would go with the same team given B'desh has quite a few left handed batsmen. In case India wants to go with an extra seamer, I would go with Shami in place of Ashwin.

 

As for batting first or second, I would leave it to the Indian team as they deem fit as they would know the condition of the pitch and how it's likely to play.

pandya Out - yadav in

 

field tight .

 

It is India's game to lose. BD cannot win it. They dont have the horses. But if India takes them lightly there is always AI flight at Heathrow.

Pandya deserves to be in the team. He gives us batting firepower lower down the order, is a gun fielder as he showed in ABDV's runout today and can get a few overs in. He lends quite a balance to the team and I wouldn't tinker too much with the winning formula.

Pandya will leak runs and we dont need his batting. We re OK in that dept. Yadav will hurt BD.

I would replace Pandya with Shami.

 

It gives Kohli three strong fast bowling options with the two spinners. All 5 bowlers are world class. Pandya is not a world class bowler. I dont even rate him a world class all rounder. He is a bits and pieces player. A solid all rounder should be able to get into the team based on their batting or bowling alone.

Yes that should be the way to go worst case we bat first and in trouble then ashwin can come ahead of jaddu.

Same team 

 

Slow start

 

Rohit & Dhawan should not take risks for 20 over.

 

Useful contribution from Kohli, Yuvraj, Dhoni

 

India 280/5

 

Line & length bowling

 

Tight bowling from both spinners

 

Bumrah to finish tail with Yorkers

 

Every bowlers 2 wickets each

 

India win by 60 runs

Same team.

 

If batting first, get to a decent start with wickets in hand but make sure to target certain bowlers after 25 over mark. Cant afford to leave it too late because BD can bowl decently at the death. If its a complete patta like the match against SL, go for 350.

 

If fielding first, same approach as against South Africa.

9 times outta 10 India should beat Bongs easy, if we bat second it's a formality, batting first we need to keep same intensity, I feel India /Eng final and Poms have been beaten by this team earlier also I see their bowling attack as average with Ball, Rashid, Moeen, Stokes all leak runs, even Wood does but is lucky to get wkts.

Pandya is undroppable as he can make impact in batting, bowling and fielding, the parts adding up to offer more value. His contribution in some form is almost guaranteed 

 

I would bring in Shami in place of Jadhav / Yuvi if required. If Ind loses top order wkts quickly, the chances of the extra batsman pulling it off for Ind are minute. If Ind don't lose early wkts, Pandya, Jadeja, Ashwin, etc. can combine to give a few quick runs. In either scenario, we will need a strong bowling attack with various options available to the captain

 

PS playing Karthik at number 4 is a good option too. Currently, Yuvi and Jadhav appear to be replacable if required

On flat wickets, 6 bowlers are an overkill. If we have 3 or 4 regular bowlers who can only bowl, there will be poor balance because all bowlers will go for 5 RPO minimum and will not bowl a side out. Usually we need to restrict opposition for less than par score like 300-310 and try to chase it down and for that you need a longer batting lineup. 

 

Cant drop Jadhav because he is one of those hitters who can accelerate down the order and I think we have enough bowling options. If we need more bowlers, we just need to pick batsmen who can also bowl in the future.

In ODIs, you need batsmen who can bowl, bowlers who can bat. Cant have only specialists who cant afford you options. Its just the nature of the game.

 

Good points but on good batting wkts, the opportunities for the extra batsman to do a lot usually are limited esp. if he gets to play less than 24 balls. All rounders can combine to act like the extra batsman. Which is why it is not a bad idea to actually strengthen the bowling

 

Going for wkts is the best way to restrict any team
