GeeGaw Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 If the ODI final can be decided by boundaries, then ICC should go full stupid in case of a draw and have the captains play a game of rock, paper, scissors to determine the champion. Link to comment
Texy Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Them playing tests just before WTC will favor them immensely Link to comment
poi Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 It will be a pretty easy win. Plus they are known to choke in the big events. Link to comment

Ind will have to play some of its best cric to win i agree. My Heart Says INDIA will win the WTC CUp and Beat New Zealand. My brain says India will loose as Indian batsman become comfortable after some batting practice and normally its after first 2 tests that they perform at their best. if it is a one TEST contest, new zealand is already playing test matches and so their test batsman would be in good test batting form( test batting is risk free batting kinda different).

Final is always a one off.. Just like WC final is a single affair. If India chokes yet again it's on them & Kohli will always be a Chokli. I wish Rahane was Captain I'd be far more confident then.

I think they are required to serve a 10 day long quarantine after landing in UK. This includes 3 days of hard quarantine post which they are allowed to use gym. Not sure if they are allowed net practice yet. They landed on 2nd June, should start practicing later this week Link to comment

My expectations from Indian team is sky high now specifically after a second string team beating Australia in tests. If it is a 3 match WTC we are sure to win. Even with 1 test WTC we have 45 percent chance of winning as I trust our bowlers to do well. I am kinda sure our batsman to score less in first TEST against New Zealand. But by chance if v score 250...our bowlers can fight it out then. Link to comment

Even hoped that Ind would do much better v Aus than that 125 or something all out performance in a group game ... But Aus shut the door in style ... Usually, I give Ind more chance if it is playing an Asian team in a KO game. Against non-subcon teams, it has a tendency to struggle of late ... To pull this off, Ind would have to play some of its best cricket Edited June 9, 2021 by zen Link to comment
