"when met with Greater forces of Nature, Truth can be quite overwhelming"
Pakistan in many Past Encounters Against India has displayed sickening "Fear of Loss syndrome"
The Difference between a Champion Side and a very "Talented" side is in the mind. Champion Side like Australia of Yore's or Current Indian Side have a champion mentality They Deceive a Temperament which betrays the feeling that They are under no pressure and rather Turn the table on their Rivals.
In their mind a Champion side is never Defeated till they are actually "Defeated" very different from a Pakistani Side which is never a "Winner" till they have actually "Won". That is one battle which Pakistan has been Consistently loosing and India winning but This Time it's not the same.
Pakistani Players get bogged down by fear ugly backlash and repercussion back home. It hogs their mental space more than the game itself and till Pakistan side is able to bury its ghost and overcome their Worst fears they will never ever Defeat India in an ICC tournament.
Ladies and Gentlemen I have a revelation to share with you this Pakistani side Taking India in finals have got that monkey off their back. When You will look back at the Incredible Journey of This Pak Team you will realize that they have fought many battles with bat and bowl but its the "Mental" battle that has been the most significant one.
Their "Arc" in this Tournament should be Studied with far more Greater details and you will get answers what is coming your way. From abject surrender, Fears, self-doubts, Worst kind of humiliations and name calling they have got their act together and defeated and caused the biggest upset In my opinion because SA is very strong in group stages.
They got their "Mojo" back as their bowling got going. No one has been able to get Reverse swing going as Pakistani pacers have been able to it and in Hasan ali they have found their leader. In ODI phase between 10 to 40 over's is "Body" if we consider first ten over's as "Face" and last ten as 'tail"
Pakistan has found a way to hurt where it cause maximum damage that is the this crucial phase of middle over's where you consolidate on your start and look to provide momentumfor that final assault.
Pakistan has Turned it upside down with mayhem they are causing in middle over's neither are they allowing you to consolidate on your starts nor are they allowing you to set any sort of total. They are simply putting you on a slow choke with Screw ever so slowly but surely tightening around your neck till the very last ounce of air is plucked out of your lungs.
If it's Hasan Ali who has risen like a Giant and Turned this Bowling unit into the most Lethal combination of this tournament. we should not forget the other young Gladiator who has singlehandedly transformed this "Sissy" batting unit into a bunch of self assured gentleman
This tournament should be remembered for these two young lads who have shown the "Powers" that be, as to what is the way forward.
Pakistan has realized that it must get out of the cancerous circle of going back to Tried and tested failures in the name of "Experience" They have robbed them from it fair and Square But Pakistan had to undergo another battle to win over the confidence in their chasing powers and that Red hot Heart stopping thriller against Lanka where they managed to dodge destiny and their inner fears gave them tremendous self belief
Each of these Encounters were Shaping Pakistan side into a different animal as we have known them. The way they made mince meat of World no.1 side and came out with not god damn wrinkle on their Suit's would made even James bond Proud.
India has best batting unit and a unit which can handle spin well. They are mentally a champion side and their self belief levels soar them into mortals more capable than their talent permits They are Fantastic in field and have some very good bowlers and you will think they have got it covered but so did the English team thought before being Shell shocked.
India has a obvious weakness in middle over which I call as underbelly of their bowling attack and it's here they try to control the game using Slow bowlers and nothing bowlers like Jadhav Against Lanka we witnessed the underbelly being fully exposed and the Captain has to bring himself in.
The final will be decided mark my words in these Crucial middle over's and Pakistan is miles ahead of India in this comparison.
If India is Invited to Bat first they will discover that setting a total against this attack is a ridiculous Job because as bowl get older and runs dry out and there is a hint of reverse. Pakistan will come and Shatter your backbone. How and When did it become a matter of survival rather than setting a platform would be impossible to realize because they are suddenly all over you like a rash
India will look to keep wickets in hands and see where it can get in last 10 over's the problem is in modern game and given the nature of pitches you may want to get 280-290 but realistically anything near 250 should be the first target. Oh you can see the quandary the Confusion!
If Pakistan bats First their batsmen have comfort to know that anything in the region of 270-280 can be a match winning total with this attack. If Pakistan have been accused of still playing 1990 style cricket now they have managed to drag the game itself into that Era.
India's best hope is also fraught with dangers as well but Pakistan "underbelly" is its batting and India only hope is to put a total on the scoreboard and expose this weakness. who will bite the bullet these are the those layers within a layers battles within a battle aspect.
For the First time in many years these two Teams start as Equals with Pakistan having their noses slightly ahead of India. Also for the first time in many moons Pakistan will not be having nightmares about unfavorable outcome as back home this team has already being hailed as champions and over achievers.
But Pakistan more than India has something more to Achieve in this battle and will be more hungry by that virtue. They have a point to prove and there is cool calm aura of champion this side has started betraying enough to rub your eyes or senses but one must accept the monumental turnaround this
team has made.
Defeats, humiliations, Fear's, Self doubts have all been done away with. That's what happen when you show faith in the young blood and it's that young blood which is reaping rich reward of this Transformed unit.
But there is something beyond analysis and beyond comprehension but it's there challenging us mocking us to identify it. maybe we all know but are too afraid to believe it but there is a reason why you feel light and look forward to next day. There is a reason why you are smiling more what's that song you are murmuring?
What is it that you know but you have not realized your heartbeats have told you already your wait is over now be ready for it.
This time when India will play Pakistan Truth will speak with you, Are you ready ?
