India Batting first and bowling under lights still untested

[Vijy]

I would say that we have tested ourselves well. now, it's just a matter of repeating these performances for 2 KO matches

It will happen in semi final.

Rohit will go early as is customary in KOs. Gill will play his usual classy shots vs top bowlers and shortly gift his wicket (not every team is Pak that will drop 2 chances).

Then load as usual will fall on Kohli who will go into his shell because of “match awareness”. Kela always reserved his kela  performance for KO. So Pandya and Iyer will rebuild with Kohli to 270/280 with valiant sixes from 6-8. 
 

Then second innings when India loses toss Advantage and gets to bowl with dew on flat tracks, India will realize that bowling was flattering to deceive as it always does before KOs. Bumrah and Jadeja will have their  “bad day” as they melt away in pressure. It will be down to heroic performers from Thakur and Pandya to keep India on it. Thakur because there is no pressure on him and opposition will over attack the dibbley dobler.  Pandya, if fit by then, will do well because he isn’t a mental midget. Baki Kuldeep Yadav will be seen off in dew conditions and Siraj’s “passionate” spells will not be enough to stop juggernaut like SA Eng or NZ. 

 

Got most of the script right lol

Most posters here also had got the script right. That Pak won't be able to make it to semis this time.  Considering that they hv made to the semis only once in last 20 yrs.  LOL
