Why the negativity? Let us wait till end of day at least. 

 

We were in a similar situation before NZ match in last year's WC, then won 3 on a trot. 

 

Sure our T20I team isn't that good, but let us support this bunch of girls to beat Aussies. David vs Goliath type encounter for sure but if there is one team that doesn't show fear in front of Aussie ladies, it is India. 

Looking at the margin of defeats that Australia handed out

65 run  defeat of SA

9 wickets defeat of BD

98 runs defeat of Netherlands

113 runs defeat of Pakistan

 

It is going to be blood bath. India is also being practical about it. They kinda sense what is in store for them. This is despite Australia not having star players like Phoebe litchfield, Darcie brown.

Aus will finish 1st no matter what happens, their NRR is far ahead. 

 

They might just take it a bit easy, not go at full tilt to avoid risk of niggles/injuries. Also better to get the bad game out of the system in group stage rather than KOs. 

 

We have a fighting chance.

Australia have won 24 of the 27 matches across the five T20 World Cup editions since 2018. Of those three defeats, two have come against India.

South Africa is going to Thrashed Bangladesh and surpass india NRR. So win against Australia will be not enough.

India's NRR is v healthy.  Just don't want BD to collapse spectacularly.  If they score even 100 odd I think we will only need a win to qualify

South Africa is going to chase inside 13 overs.  I think they will surpass india NRR. 

[Tillu]

Looking at the way things are going, SA will win with a great NRR. And India even if it wins against Australia our NRR will dwindle. Radha Yadav is the reason for this predicament.

If SA win inside 13 overs still India will qualify if they win vs Australia.

SA need to win inside 6.3 overs

Bangladesh is not scoring more than 95.  South Africa is going to bonker and will Chase the target inside 10 over.  Their NRR is going to touch 3.  It's over for india even we win against Australia.  Radha yadav should be thrown out of team.  We should have won South Africa game .

6.3 is unlikely but they surely can in 8-9 over.  They can win in 6.3 if they bundled Bangladesh around 85. 

[Lone Wolf]

BD have done just enough to make sure India only needs a win vs Australia.

They need to score above 95. South Africa will go Hard in PP . They gave no other option but go for target inside 7.

BD have decent bowling line up.  They are not associate level side.  SA will win by 12-13 overs

110 is impossible.  75 in 16.  Max they will score another 20 runs.  They scored only 2 runs in 16th over.  They Also want india to knocked out from the tournament.
