Simple strategy- bowl Axar less in this game and hardik more. Axar overs wud be cut down due to SA lefties 

might as well play Pant or Harshal

[Nikhil_cric]

Long shot but I would play

 

Pant

Rohit

Virat

SKY

Hooda

Hardik

DK

Axar

Bhuvaneshwar

Shami

Arshdeep

 

We need a batting heavy balance since our bowling is not reliable. 

 

Shami and Arshdeep can be very wayward and have been so in the last game. Just that Holland could not put them away. 

 

Bhuvi cannot bowl at the death.

 

The extra batsman has to be Hooda who is an offie as well so Ash should miss out. Axar is a left handed floater batsman as well. 

 

KL out of form and a left hander would be better. Pant can't do any worse can he? 

 

Given the choices, this might be the only team that can beat SA.

 

Also we HAVE to bat first. I don't see us beating them while chasing

Harshal ka new ball value nahin optus men new ball hi main hai, although bounce has been a bit tennis but his record against lefties has been poor. Shud stick to same lineup . 

Harshal need will also come . 

[SRT100]

Indian Cricket team, TM and BCCI have always been risk adverse.

 

I expect an unchanged lineup.

 

I also expect SA to win.

I dont think the batsmen are in the form that they think they are in. Pakistan had us in a lot of trouble with the exception of Kohli. If not for a no ball in the last over along with a wide, I think Pakistan would have won this. Meaning our batsmen came up short. It was the Pakistan bowling in the last 10 deliveries of the game as opposed to our batting that got us over the line.

Against the Netherlands there was a few drop chances as well.

 

India to get exposed today. SA to win.

India is considered favorites heading into this game, how are we underdogs?

Boult, Southee, Rabada, Jensen have the ability to blow away our top order in 3-4 overs especially here. There is nothing after Kohli and Surya. Pendu is hit and miss, DK is Fraud, Axar is lol and rest tatti. How the * are we even suppose to get past crunch matches with this paper thin batting.. 

Correct.

In fact it would be better if KL didnt bat if we play NZ, at least he wont waste a delivery. Might as well just give him out before he reaches the crease.

 

NZ clearly have a superior team than us.

[Vk1]

I just realized we are playing at Perth.. Ashwin and Axar cannot play together.. one has to be out

Harshal Patel will definitely come in you would think for him.

 

India could go with Pant for Axar. Though from what I understand they said on Cricbuzz that India are set for DK to keep.

 

However replacing Pant with Axar, means India only have 5 bowlers.

 

 

[SM2907]

Why padosis rooting for India. If India and Zim win all their games padosis will be out

They want India to win and Bangla to beat Zim

Then win their remaining games

Yes. In that case. But if Zim win today, then equation changes to SA win working in their favour 

[afan]

Dravid will never drop KL , and RS loves DK..so Pant will carry drinks for the time being.

SA has a far superior bowling , India will struggle if they lose toss and bat first.

Ngidi Rabada Nortje on a cold Perth night, will run through the Indian side .

I expect a low scoring match,  SA might just win this comfortably 

Nothing to worry, India will win the other 2 and reach the semis

I'm comparing his use to Axar not other pacers for this match.

 

His offcutters should work v lefties

it shud be till now in his career he has struggled vs lefties 

Also we have to keep in mind markram coz he is one of the top most players of fast bowling, too much focus on lefties but shudnt forget the right handers like markram and stubbs who can take game away 

[Autonomous]

Critical match for us.

Well.. I have no hope with our top order struggling. I can see All three KL, Rohit, Kohli gone inside 6 overs. Surya might play a few shots but that will be it. Axar and DK are lol. If we bat first, we will be lucky to score even 130.  

Your team should win now comfortably against Ned.

If india lose today - SAF will qualify

[CricketWise]

Should be a cracking match. Both teams have a strong pace attack although India ka inconsistent hai. Play Chahal today?

Predictable Indian Cricket.

 

We got damn lucky  vs Pakistan and with a bit of luck Netherlands could have pushed us hard.

 

Disgraceful substandard Indian cricket. Its just garbage.
