Group win ka importance abhi pata chalega. I am pretty confident this time, hope Gill fires for once. Our bowling won't fail, just need to hold on to all catches unlike the group game where we dropped both Rachin and Mitchell multiple times. 

Our fielding is still bad, and most of our batters do not inspire confidence (barring Ro, Ko)

[NameGoesHere]

I have never been as confident of an India team in my 40 plus years of following cricket. 

 

Of course I could be dead wrong and New Zealand beat us.  That’s life.

 

But right now my point of view is:

 

Inko itna pelenge, by the time the game ends they will be Old Zealand.

All of this is ignoring the fact that if they had bat one more session, they could've shared the trophy. Its the batting failure, not a single batsman could cross 50 across both innings 

Batting failure against a very good bowling lineup in those conditions. That's why I said Ind did rather well.

 

It's like chastising SA for not batting one more session in Delhi 2015 or something.

The streak was broken by legendary thread maker @Lord in Dharamsala game. We should beat them now.

Let us see if Rohit changes luck or not. Most of those defeats were under Kohli.

 

Rohit bats for 10 overs, we'll win easily. He's most important player

2 times at Wankhede, 1 Eden Gardens. 

We're breaking Wankhede jinx this time. 

[cowboysfan]

I hope they use a new pitch,FTBs like Gill will be big beneficiaries. 

[ravishingravi]

Tough game. Williamson also back. Wankhede batting under lights could be tricky. Let's see.

We will WIN against NZ.

 

But will sadly lose to AUS in the Final. Its Inevitable.

 

 

[BacktoCricaddict]

Can someone feed Boult a few zulaab gamoons the night before or morning of the match? He's the one that scares me the most. Feel the rest can be navigated.

[cricketfan28]

Nz never won wc , knocked out in more semis, so pressure is on them.

This match is giving me the shivers.  NZ is the very epitome of smiling assasins.

Confident of winning the final if we get through this match.
