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

Ruthless Australia with their elite mentality and tournament pedigree rising to the occasion again. You have to beat them to win the World Cup.
 
The amount of times Australia have gotten lucky with the ball missing the stumps....
 
Imagine if they had lost 2-3 morr wickets trying for those extra 30��

In a big chase there is always going to be a villain. In this case apart from Finch nobody was comfortable. Maxie just swung the bat around connected a few. Others didn't exactly time the ball at all.
 
Windies blew such a good opportunity last match.

What should have been cake walk turned into epic collapse. Not the first time they have done this. REmember 1996 world cup 165/2 chasing 207 and collapsed to lose the match against Australia.
 
After England. Windies, Pakistan and India are only teams I see capable of making and chasing 350+
 
India proving why they are the best in the world in all formats of the game.

India have lost major ICC games recently. A long way to go.

Jaddu / Shankar can be considered to replace Kedar as per weather/pitch condition, vs NZ on Thursday
 
With this kinda batting line up, you really gotta question Australia's tactics in the first 35 overs . . Absolutely baffling

Only have Warner to blame... If he played a run a ball things would be different.
 
Indian batting has won it here. They are capable of batting out the opposition which is why conditions permitting and if the opposition wins the toss they have to bat. Batting second chasing a large score puts unimaginable pressure on any batting side including India. We saw how even they collapsed like a pack of cards when chasing against us in the Champions Trophy final.
 
I think we might have helped England by beating them so early. They probably got rid of any complacency they had.
 
Indian fielding is getting sloppy. Complacency. This guy is giving everything. Australians will fight till the end. Don't take foot off the pedal
 
Ruthless Australia left it too late. They surrendered the chase when they let the RRR climb to 11. You cannot turn that around against India’s bowling and Dhoni’s presence in the field.

Their spirited batting in the last 10 overs or so has only served to convert a thrashing into a relatively respectable loss.
 
The amount of batting depth Eng, Aus have, its almost unfair. In batting shootout kinda pitches, no other team will have any chance..
 
Unacceptable from a team like Australia for lacking proper plan in chasing 350+

You go at 6 runs per over not at 5. Aussies left too much in the end.
 
When it comes to Australia some body always puts his hand up. It could be Bichel or Coulternile or Carey. They play outside their capacity under pressure.
 
I have seen Alex carey a bit against India. He can bat well. Never seen him go nuts like this. Basically they raise their game in crunch situations.
