Seriously anyone that wants Gill to play in this game has no understanding of athletic performance and the impact of  an illness on the immune system.


Gill needs time to recover.

True, Gill shouldn't play. Dengue isn't like normal cold & cough from which a person can recover in 3-4 days.

 

It drains you completely, even if recover it takes atleast 8-10 days to even gain full strength for normal work..forget about batting & fielding 50 overs which involves lot of focus and running.

Exactly his endurance and aerobic capacity would have taken a major hit.


Im sure his strength is not at 100% either.

 

This will also be exacerbated by the fact that this will be highly stressed, adrenaline charged environment. Not exactly will help with his recovery from Dengue.

Pakistan has improved. 2017 CT fakar Zaman got lucky with his  no ball dismissal from jusprith bumrah . PSL and the new age Pakistan players are good. 

2019 World Cup we thrashed them.2022 oct it was a close game won by Kohli. 2021 t20 worldcup and 2022 Asia cup, the Indian team was not in form.

ind team has improved as well though. ind bowling specifically.

 

kuldeep is ind's greatest loi spinner. he didn't play in 2021-22. pak have never won when kuldeep has played. bumrah after that 17 CT match has bowled really well against them.

 

asia cup 2023 we thrashed them as well. asia cup 2022 we won a match as well. 2018 asia cup we thrashed them.

 

post 17CT odis it has been 4-0 and t20s 2-2

I feel we will be bowling first regardless of who wins the toss. Rohit is extremely data driven so he will definitely chose to field first and Babar would probably never dare to put us in again after what happened in Colombo..

 

So the blueprint should be to restrict them to below 260 (if England could get 280 , no way Paxtan are crossing that against our bowling attack) and chase it under lights. Once again, if we get through the initial 6 over phase, it should be smooth sailing from there on. Probably a 6 or 7 wicket win.

I miss that time when India would have complete physical and mental superiority over Pakistan in WC tournaments.

 

 

 

I do and I don't...

Never want to lose against them, ever....so there's that. But great rivalries are better when both teams are decent, and although the losses are crushing the wins are even sweeter knowing they thought they could win.

 

This is home, so we have to win and i think we will...we're in decent form

He might hv meant head to head history. Looks very silly though. Results of meaningless bilaterals played decades ago hv no relevance with these high intensity tournaments like WC.  If we go through head to head odi record, SA hv superior record over every other team (incl Aus) since ages. By that logic, SA should hv been winning every WC till now.  LOL

"Obviously" :giggle:

 

When you have a 0-7 record in world cups panning for over 3 decades , using the word 'history' will only make people think of that record lol. No wonder he's getting rekt by even your own countrymen.

Pakistan has a 8-0 vs srl in worldcups but who cares as we have a winning record over all as well.

You would have definitely cared if that was against India. :phehe:

 

Imagining winning everytime at the biggest stage against your biggest rival. That's an enviable record to have..
