Pandya was useless as 3rd seamer. India needed another seamer. We didn't need 2nd spinner and DK as batsman. KL could have played in middle.

 

That is most underrated reasons for that loss.Bhuvi and Bumrah while did not take many wickets, they kept it tight but pressure was released by Pandya and then completely gone after Chahal started bowling.

In 2019WC, we were too dependent on the top3 batters to take us home.  MO was vulnerable and led by a "has been" Dhoni.  Plus playing Bhuvi in the SF vs NZ was a mistake.  Shami should hv played.

2015, 2019, 2023 --> same theme

The biggest difference is home advantage. 

[prudent_kreeda]

Biggest difference is we did not get KO'd in SF.

In 2023 it's total team work, every batsman is scoring runs, every bowler is taking wickets, thats not the case in 2019.

NZ ran out of luck.

Not relying on over the hill and bits and pieces players.That is the biggest difference.

Biggest difference is that we won

Siraj got 13 wickets which I think is a good contribution.

rarely blew sides apart, and collected some cheap wkts thanks to pressure by boom, shami, etc

Even in previous world cup winning teams world over you can see good performance from everyone and some other players perform decently in the team this is exactly the case in siraj.

Last time, we had a strong Top 3 but we lost Dhawan and then we're dependent on Kohli and Rohit. 

 

This time , the Top 5 are well settled and batting superbly.

 

Iyer, since Indore ODI, is averaging 70 + and at a strike rate of 113.

 

Having a settled batting lineup who are all among the runs rather than just relying on 2 batters has been the difference.

yes, middle order batting is much better. both 2019 and now do not have lower order batting though. 2011 had that with raina at 7 and likes of zak, bhajji, ash, etc. who could bat at 8 and 9
