Lucky in terms of winning the toss against Australia . I don't think we could have chased on this wicket if Australia had batted first. 

Not just India no teams can chase. Chasing is always harder in world cup. NZ almost messed up their chase against Bangladesh.

In that respect Aus did well to come close. If not for Warner’s mess up, who knows what the result could have been

What score was ponting on when he wasn’t gives that lbw?

not sure...but he hasn't crossed the nervous 20's...

 

I remember those days where ponting wicket needs to be taken before he made 20 or 25....otherwise, it was next to impossible to take his wicket

Yes. True. Unless it is a green pitch that flattens out there is no point bowling first.

India is always lucky as long as India plays well.
