India start as underdogs after a long time in a finale ( or knockout ) vs. NZ - will it work in our favor ?

[rangeelaraja]

2000 ICC knockout Kenya - they shocked us in the finals - after we hammered South Africa and beat a red hot Aussie team. 

2019 WC Semis - Their bowling took the match away within 10 overs of our innings

 

We were overwhelming favorites on both the occasions.

 

Will the underdog tag work for us ?
