If Ind win against NZ, they will be through to the semis for sure. But need to win.

 

They always had the option of sitting out of the IPL if they were tired. Now that they chose not to, they will have to play this tournament well and try and qualify.

I think this option was invalidated when in 2009 Sir Dhoni missed Sri Lankan tour to recover from IPL. 
 

We have now cricketers who also want to play for India.

I feel this cup belongs to Australia

Lack of good spinner in Aussie camp is the worry

they have looked hungry for wins, have a set template, and the right bowling for these conditions. in all 3 respects, it is the opposite of our team at the moment.

semi final exit .

In this format, it's a matter of one bad day to get you knocked out. They will choke when they face England, or even Australia.

Seems unlikely. They will play Aus/SA and neither of these teams looks unbeatable at the moment.

They’ve done lots of homework. I heard Babar saying after the India match that the Coach has told us not to play “Lambey Shots” (Lofted shots). That’s exactly what they did and kept their wickets. 
If you see the Indians batsmen are mostly getting out of lofted shots. I’m not saying not to go for them but the way it is to keep wickets on hand and score using ground shots as much as possible and mix them with lofted shots later on. 
 

In both the Indian innings, wickets lost by playing lofted shots and the getting bogged down…

 

Im not saying this is the only factor. Winning Toss also helps a lot in big games. And it does plays in the minds. It’s easy to chase on these pitches, especially in the evening matches…

Funny thing is 2 of the notorious tuk tuks of Indian cricket are coach and mentor of the Indian side. Both had either block or 6 type of game.

198 now how many more for 200 @Austin 3:!6

They've had things go their way, but you can only beat what is in front of you whether it's setting a target or defending.

 

On paper they don't look the strongest but they have a good work ethic and strategy unlikely previous teams. They're much better in the field too despite having 2 oldies.

Nope. England have looked even more formidable. Pakistan have looked good, but England have looked even better.

[helperononline]

They have played in Dubai for more than a decade so they are good here having said that babar Azam is too good player he is ranked no 1 in T20 and ODI and number 7 in test 

Good times for pakistan
