If we do get a full game on Sunday and it's an England v Pakistan final. England are strong favorites.

Full game on a flat wicket is going to be really difficult, even the Aussies couldn't beat them.

Luckily for Pakistan rain is forecast and a rain reduced game will reduce the gap between the teams.
 
India collapsing in the field.

Pandya must feel ****** off after playing such an amazing knock.
 
Great fielding effort from shami. Is there an award for that in this tournament?
 
I thought icc was trying their best to have an india vs Pakistan final. But clearly it seems the better team on the day is winning rn. All though too soon to decide anything

Agreed.

It'll be interesting to see if Babar and Rizwan can hit from ball one.

Pakistan have a chance if they bat first. We still got better bowling attack than India.
 
At least against England we can give 100% but against India we always mentally stuck.
 
Rohit has been very poor, his body language looks pretty flat

No one would be motivated when they see Rohit when Ind is on the field especially
 
BJP Hinduvta won't forget that misfield. Shami needs extra protection when he goes back to India.
 
England making a mockery of the best bowling attack in the tournament. Ominous signs for Pakistan ahead of the final.
 
Chance less batting by both openers. Hales especially has been outstanding

Yep this is the correct analysis because unlike deadwood you know how to read the game.
 
Look how pumped up Pandya is.

And Kohli aside the rest look far too flat.

Get a wicket and you are back in. But obviously it’s now a mountain to climb from this position.

Your bowlers are better than England, reducing the overs and forcing the Pakistani batsmen to hit will make it close.

Full 20 overs on a good track is going to be hard because man for man they're better. You'll be relying on them folding under pressure.

You're off your rocker if you think this is the best bowling attack in the tournament. They don't even have a single bowler who can clock 140 lol.

Rain reduced game will help them a lot more than England.

Lool like eng aren't pak's whipping boys in tournaments anyway.
2019 wc Eng were scary good, we still smashed them. Needed no rain.

moment i saw shami do that, and then rohit being animated to fire in a direct throw, for a second i thgt rohit was ordering stones 🙃
 
Agya woh shahkar tha jiss ka intizar. Bughz will come out...sorry...ooze out now
 
We barely crossed 60 in our first 10 overs and England are already 90-odd in their first 9 overs.

Such a contrast, lol.

Pakistan have struggled against England's B team at home and beaten black and blue by England's hastily drawn squad under Ben Stokes.

England is bringing it home this time!

How is it the best bowling attack? If they had Bumrah and Jadeja then you may have a case.
 
Indian top order thought they could trudge along at 5/6 per over and only start playing in the 16th ����

Getting absolutely violated
 
aj poora India aur Mamoon mil kr ronay waalay hain.... abh yeh sabh mil kr pray karain gey that Pak loses to Eng
 
Indian team with this outdated trend and game-awareness can never compete against strong teams. I told we cannot cross Semi Finals. T20 is a format for young guns, and we have Bhuvaneshwar, Shami, Rohit, Rahul, etc showing brutal performances with outdated captain Rohit leading them!

Even the Indian team which won the 1st edition did it because they had a young team & a freshly thinking captain!

I will be surprised if England does not win this world cup! They are the most suited team for this format!

India I think will continue to do well only in Tests with this kind of approach towards LOI games...
 
Pakistan’s best chance is to bowl first and hope that England batsmen have an off-day.

Bat first and Babar-Rizwan are guaranteed to settle for a below par total. Could be a repeat of the 2021 semifinal.

Now you have brought your A team. I will be here to take shots on Sunday...Do not disappear then
 
The guys following Rohit and KL are accumulators too

Gill, Gaikwad

Tuk Tuk Mania!!

Probably will get in a 5 or 10 over game, so it all goes out the window.
 
I think most Indian fans here will agree that their team was extremely lucky to get to the semis.

They lost to South Africa and had Pakistan selected 4 seamers India would not have come close to beating them.
They really should have lost to Bangladesh too.

Now up against a top side they've completely imploded
 
Ashwin needs to man up here. Go for sixers or take wickets. Stop the darts.
 
Well at least crowd is getting monies worth by excellent batting!
 
India paced their innings like ours, T20s aren't played like that these days.

You need T20 batsmen from 1-8.
 
The captain Rohit and the team management has to be held responsible for India"s very defensive bowling approach in this WC

The bowlers selection has been poor with only B.Kumar & Arshdeep being your only two wicket taking options and other bowlers are your defensive restricting the flow of runs kind of bowlers

Rohit seems to be very poor in understanding the conditions when they are not like Indian

What's happening? England ruining the script here. :)))

Hales, Buttler et.al can kiss a goodbye to their IPL contracts now. :))

It is good though, that England saved the game from the sharks.

Yes this will be the difference in the end.

170 is defendable if you have a decent bowling attack but India 15 short.
 
England took the 2015 World Cup mauling against New Zealand personally.

England 123 all out
New Zealand 125/2 (12 overs)

That was the day they flicked the switch. McCullum created a monster.
 
We went down respectfully at least, took it down to the last over :))

Both SFs have been pretty one sided.

India would have beaten SA anywhere except Perth. The other teams in the group were poor including Pak. We saw the resurgent Pak at the end but they were poor initially too. Aussies were poor. English too in their group games initially. I don't think any one team dominated in this world cup.
