A bird in hand is better than two in the bush (WTC)

[zen]

For most parts, the win predictor showed NZ chances at 22% and Ind's at 10% ... Therefore, NZ chances are 2x Ind's, however, chances of a draw are 68% ... A draw gives both teams the title so no team loses ... It appears as if a team takes unnecessary risks and they backfire, it could lose the title, which, in a way, is already in its pocket now (since chances of a draw are 68%) ... Either dumb or excellent cricket is likely to close or open the doors respectively for a team ... At the moment, a case of a bird in hand being better than two in the bush for the teams ... Let's see if any team is brave (or foolish depending on perspective/result) enough to push things while batting

I think india will bat as much as possible

 

However i hope they look to score wherever reasonable. 

 

Its not just about sucking out overs. If you score their shoulders will drop.

yeah too little time to force anything

Can’t afford to block all the way, need dual strategy, until all 3 seniors are there, keep the ends up and push the score as  much as possible and leave 1 session to bowlers to play out a draw or not

Ind  ... Full marks to NZ but a bit sad to see the team could not draw this

Rahane Pujara Kohli all needed to bat one session put together
