In the final, we MUST bat first if we win the toss

[Dil Dil India]

I hope Shastri and the team management doesn't use Lahori/Lyari logic like they did in the CT and just realize how useless our middle order is. Big game, runs on the board. Of course if Sarfaraz apni apple bechnay wali shakal k saath wapas toss jeet jata hai to that's a different matter.

What if the top 2 go quickly? Why play to Pak's strengths? Those paindoos cannot chase anything.

If Fakar gets going they can have a huge score. He is due to score

Bro we can't chase. Face the facts. Our middle order can't chase anything over 100 runs required. If they get our openers out early, game is over..

Normally I agree that batting first is better in finals. But in Dubai, its easier to bat under lights. So ball 1st I guess.

I got vibes that we are loosing openers early in final. It came from UrmiSinhaRay's uncle.

Batting first in Finals is a must.Pakistan  is a poor chasing team and in Finals multiply it by 1 million.

[R.D forever]

Yes Bat first. They will crumble under pressure like the 2011 WC.

We cant rely too much on openers. If they get out early, then its doom for us even when chasing about 225. So I would also vouch for bat first. Even if the openers fail, our mid order can scrap their way to a 250 wgoch can be defendable jn a final with three spinners and bumrah

It was game over even after openers put up 100+ on the board vs Afg. If openers get out early then forget the target, getting to three digits will be our first target.

That's a cowardly option. Let them chase and let the middle-order batsmen show some balls.

Final wont be played on the same pitch. that will be better. batting under lights is easier here.

Both should play and Dhoni dropped but not happening. Our team combo is getting screwed
