India (399/5) defeat Australia (217) by 99 runs (DLS target 317) to win the 2nd ODI

Australia lost a series just before the World Cup. You can't fool us Aussies. We're familiar with your game.
They will back with style in world cup .
 
Pakistan doesn't need to be discussed here
 
Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav were the stars of the show as India registered a series-clinching win over Australia at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore on Sunday. Chasing a DLS revised target of 317 runs in 33 overs in the second ODI of the three-match series, Australia was bundled out for 217. The match lost some overs after rain halted the play during Australia's batting. Earlier, Shreyas Iyer (105) and Shubman Gill (104) scored centuries to lay a solid foundation for India before Suryakumar Yadav boasted his finishing abilities with a 72 not out of 37. India posted a daunting total of 399 for 5 in 50 overs after getting an invitation to bat first.

They know how to play on bigger stage. But there are some areas they have to address. Absence of Head has to be addressed.
 
These are ominous signs for all the other teams at the WC. India have hit their strides and are looking really good here.

Late September/Early October is usually a bit damp all over the country due to the retreating monsoon. Will be very surprised if it washes away even a single game though..

May see a few interruptions in the first two weeks of the tournament. Nothing more.

Like every team INdia has weak points. They don't close out the tail fast enough. Also struggles in the back end with the bat. Today was an exception. Also one of those customary top order collapse. If India manages things they will go a long way
 
India is really gaining steam before the world cup, been the case in several tournaments now. If they can handle pressure in penultimate games then they sure are favorite to lift the cup.

Also going by few Pakistani fans logic here who have been panicking since India beat Pakistan comprehensively in Asia Cup, Australia should also say taa taa, bye bye to the world cup after getting rolled over by India in the 2 games?

I think Pakistan were playing with their best xi, whereas Australia are still resting some of their main players

There are other factors that contributed to Pakistan's loss in Sri Lanka. The rain interruptions, bowling on two consecutive days, conditions when they batted, the scoreboard pressure, etc. It was a bad loss, but there is nothing to panic. Pakistan still has a good team to beat any team in this World Cup. They lack a good leg spinner. Also, Naseem Shah's injury doesn't help them. But, I still expect them to be in the Semis.

Yes, at least we have Rauf in the middle overs to contain and take wickets as well. But as we could see from the India-Aussie game, it was really the spinners that contained and took wickets. Will our spinners have the skills to do the same?

If Pakistan can't win on flat tracks then what tracks can Pakistan win on? Your #1 ranking was based on beating teams on the flat tracks of Lahore, Rawalpindi and Karachi. These are the lowest bouncing pitches in the world(according to Cricviz)and the ball doesn't move an inch. While Indore was a fast scoring ground with short boundaries and a fast outfield, the new ball was swinging for both Johnson and Prasidh. Also spun for Ash and Jadeja.

We saw in SL as well how PAK struggled against movement and spin.

Flat tracks are Pakistan's best bet. It will allow someone like Fakhar to set the tone upfront and your bowlers need at least a par score to defend. I'm not convinced about your batting in tough conditions. :inti

On swing friendly conditions we have a chance because indian top 3 is vulnerable to left arm high pace in swing. If we can make early inroads then we can through the tail depending on whom india picks.

In saying that it's easier said than done this time as india do look more complete than ever since 2011. First time in a long time I dont see holes in the Indian side apart from number 8 and 9's ability to bat. Top 6 for Asian conditions look great in odi.

India is not the only team playing the World Cup though. Other teams have left handers to counter inswing - Malan, QDK, Warner, Conway and they can hit you with Jansen, Willey, Starc, Boult as well. Pakistan's top order is not the greatest against movement. Arguably even weaker than ours considering what happened at MCG and in SL under lights. Also, struggles a bit on spinning decks.

So won't it be better to play on flat decks like Lahore and score 350 and trust Shaheen/Rauf/Hasan to defend it? :inti

We will find a way to beat our bunnies like nz in ko stages don't worry.

England is strong but their bowling isn't anything special. We will be fine.
Yes our top 3 isn't functional either. We generally do well in India judging by history. Look at h2h. So factoring that in, I feel we stand more of a chance than any English or nz side.

Against India we have slim chances if shaheen doesn't pick up early wickets.

We need them 3 down and tear into the tail.
