As a Pakistan fan. I rather chase, We chased 320 at Mohali a couple of years ago and with this Indian bowling line up, i dont care if we have to chase 350.
I hope your wish comes true and Pak has to chase 350 on Wednesday :two_thumbs_up:

Pakistan fans have always been at India's bowling attack and how poor it is right from the start. Let's see how many runs they score on the day.

defintely bat first.no dew here.runs on the board always count as we saw today in SA in NZ. even if we get 275,its virtually over for Pak.its gonna be too tough for them to handle pressure

Normally I would say bat first but...our team has shown they are poor at defending totals in this tournament. The games against England and SA are a proof of this. And coincidentally we have also had finishing problems while setting targets!! Its best to avoid that.
Eng n SA are strong batting line-ups,Pakis arent.275 will be enough IMO as for finishing problems,man in ur avatar will solve that

What pressure? Afridi told Pak fans that we would reach semis. We have done that, anything else is a bonus considering that we are missing 3 of our best players. Mohammadf Asif - Swing King Mohammad Amir - Way better than Wahab Riaz Salman Butt - Him and Kamran had a good partnership going.

lol see your batting too,made 184 against Canada n lost 6 while chasing 176 v Aus,got saved there by stupid Ponting only. no Yousuf,Indian tormentor Malik in your side,once we get YK,its all over for you

pressure may not be of semis,but it'll certainly be playing India.dont think Pak crowd will take a loss to India n players know.so there'll be pressure on Pak too

hmm so the majority wants India to bat frst....Lets see what happens on wednesday. I still think we can chase it down against pak but might collapse batting first in pps.

@ShahidAfridi the players u listed arent missing due to injuries.they are cheaters,fixers n are banned.trust me your team is better off without them.losing to Canada would've made them huge money

I dont think it will be too bad if India has to chase. Batting becomes easier in Mohali under lights and there may be a chance for dew which negates reverse swing and spin. Our batting is capable of chasing down a big total. Though ideally I want India to bat first and put a good total on the board.

we'll collapse if we aim too high.play normally n look to get 270 yesterday 260 wasnt a big score but we were only saved by UV-Raina.we know what happened to SA today.scoreboard pressure is too much in knockout games.better battiing first

of course we have the capacity to chase any score(just look at our batting talent).you always bat first (especially in tournaments),pressure does funny things to batsmen when they have to chase even a modest target against a good bowling attack.

SA are chokers. They will choke regardless. Remember the game in Mohali where pak chased down 320..thanks to dew, extras and YK. I think its safer for India to chase against Pak in Mohali. We havent deafeated Pak in Mohali if I am not mistaken.

that game was in November its March,not gonna be dew here.if anything,it would be manageable. yeah India hasnt beaten Pak at Mohali,hadnt beat Aus since 1987 in WC,Pak havent beaten Ind in WC,these stats hardly matter on the field
