India [352/5] defeat Australia [316] by 36 runs in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Everything depends on the wicket.

Flat wicket India favourites. If it has something in it then 50/50 game if they restrict them under 300.

Well from first few deliveries the wicket looks sooo flat
 
Pitch looks slow

India will smash Australia on this pitch
 
Interesting to see Rohit against in swinging yorkers from Starc.

Ya...he has weakness against ball coming in...(in champions tropy against aamir)....i guesss Starc will be looking to mix it up...two going with angle outside off, one tailing in and then the pin pint yorker at middle and leg....how he handles starc will be crucial....
 
Australia usually play leg spin better as they can play on the back foot. I thought Jadeja would play. He has done well against Australia.
 
I don't mind Dhawan not scoring in this match. Everyone knows he will score in SF and Final if India qualifies.
 
Exceptionally biased commentary by Ganguly.

“The two best teams of the World Cup playing today, New Zealand are on top but they have not been tested yet”.

How has Australia been tested? India has played one match against a sorry SA side
 
Ironic that there are "Uber - Let's move the world together" adverts on the boundary when it's banned in London. :91:
 
Could have been 2 down now if the catch was held and with extra slip.
 
Slow flat wicket yet these Aussie bowlers are just so good...
I reckon they’re the best in the tournament

Yes.....I always felt SG as a commentrator is at his best when he discusses field placings or captain's strategy about selections vis-a-vis the pitch or bowling selections....he's also good with predicting what bowling is required to negate a particular player...but yeah...on the above- i am with u....
 
This pitch is so slow, I wouln’t even be concerned if Pakistani openers were batting right now of them getting out.

That’s for Indian and Australian markets. In India, Uber has sunk billions of dollars, not yet started making money but market leader now.

India just needs to see-off first 10 overs with 35-45 on the board. Then it’s smooth road to 320-350.
 
Indians are playing too cautiously.

Key is the first 10 overs
Runs without losing wickets is what India needs
 
5 to 6 runs an over is fine till 20th over. Chance for Shikhar to consolidate. 320 is really good score
 
Important to note that Dhawan is 10 of 15 . . and Rohit is 9 of 19 . . if Imam or Babar were batting like that, they'd be chastised completely on this forum . . It is completely normal to have a slow start as long as you're picking up the pace through the innings . . also important to judge pitches well and have a score in site . . Already it is evident this isn't a 350 pitch . . India knows that they can't afford to lose wickets up front . .

This pitch is absolutely tailor made for India and they've won a very important toss!
 
Playing sensibly, according to the conditions.

Even 270 would be easily defendable here, with the spin attack they have.
 
This seeing off stuff isn't going to work for India

Except they know how to play and read the conditions, which you have no idea about.

Too bad the professionals didn't consult you first.
 
Too cautious right now. Can’t let Aussi dominate the match. A few scoring shots are needed.

Babar and imam are not fit to tie shoes laces of dhawaan and Rohit.

When does Babar or imam pick up pace???
 
Good start from Ind, 250 will be enough, the two spinners will eat them alive.

Why eng get flat wickets?

What your talking about Australia are dominating and this will cost India

You have no idea what you're talking about.

No cricketing acumen. Not surprised at all. :najam
 
They are going to miss Hazzlewood or J richardson so much in this WC. Its all too easy after Strac and Cummins
