I prefer India makes a statement and answer the critics on its Bowling by defending a total. WIll also be a great boost moving into Final. However considering the Semi Final crunch gage and given the record in CT  - should Chase.

 

These wickets are a nightmare to defend anything.

Chase against Bang and bat first against Pak. We don't want to take unnecessary risk by chasing against Pak bowlers.

Chase. Bangladeshs are decent chasers, they can score 300 if our bowlers aren't on the money. 

[nevada]

Chase. If BD bat first and collapse like SA or Eng, great. If not, we have batting firepower with master of the chase Kohli to chase down a good total.

Chase because we don't know what will be a good score..

lets see whats the wicket like (probably slow after so much wear and tear) when the bang bat

[Temujin Khaghan]

Bat first, put up a big score. 

 

Bangladesh won't handle the pressure of a chase. 

Pitches are getting very slow so deciding a score is difficult. We won CT while chasing

In a big knockout game, ALWAYS bat first. Can't go wrong. That scoreboard pressure in the 2nd innings is invaluable. 

Their batting is strong, not like Pakistan. So we are at a disadvantage especially considering bowling has always been our weak area.

Chase

But even if we bat first I expect Ash to help us prevent a repeat of Lanka match. 

[Soorma_Bhopali]

Umesh Yadav should come in place of Jadhav ..Bangla boysa are vulnerable to short pitch bowling ..

[kubrickian]

Chase. Its a no brainer. On these pitches, you never know what's a good score.

I hope Indian team is not hung up on the toss the way ABDV was against India. You could see on his face he really was hoping to win the toss and field. India is a good team and i expect them to show up and perform whether they bat first or chase. Stick to the same combination as last match and they should do well  

[Laaloo]

It wont really matter to be honest. We got a wake up call against lanka. I'm sure our boys are prepared and not taking it easy. We should win comfortably in the end.

[Ultimate_Game]

I've full faith in our bowling. As long as them same team we saw in the previous match plays, I expect India to win.

[Pak_cric]

Bat or chase, i think it's safe to say that India will win regardless. Chasing would be ideal though for India. I don't see bang scoring 300+ against india with bumrah bowling at the death. With that being said, India will easily chase down a 300+ total against bang anyways.

Let Bangladesh choose and give them a 50 run grace.
