Winnable match lost. One of the ATG  Collapses for India until this one was surpassed by India in Srilanka where they lost 7 wickets  for 25 runs when they were coasting towards win.  Then there was another one in 2016

There is an interesting story from this game 

--
Dean Jones hit Maninder Singh to long on and Ravi Shastri tried to take the catch but missed. The umpire gave it a four based on what Shastri said. Kiran More who kept wickets agreed it was not a six while Jones was confident it was a big hit.

 

During the innings break the Aussie manager went all out saying he was not happy. The umpires had a word with the team management and went to Kapil Dev for his input. The Indian captain in a great gesture, decided to allow the six and the score got pushed from 268 to 270. We would fall for 269 and in the end, it came down to those 2 extra runs that cost us a win.

Both in the first game and the SF (the last game), the two losses in that World Cup, Ind failed to chase. Here it needed 19 off 25. In the SF, it was bundled out in the 46th over.

Prasidh can become India's next Srinath. Hope he is picked ahead of Shardul. He is a much better pace bowler than Shardul.
