[Pratters]

100 percent India will lose. No spin, no Gambhiring.

100 percent India will lose. No spin, no Gambhiring.

Saying they'll lose 100% is 100% Gambhiring.

Do you really think this Indian team is flat out incapable of winning against Pakistan? Neither the tournament nor the recent history suggests that. It's 60-40 in India's favor, potentially even more if Amir doesn't play.

Erm 100 percent they will lose according to me. That's unrelated to the chances/odds according to bookies etc.

Exactly what makes you think that - the skill level of the teams? the pressure handling capability? What does India lack that you are giving them 0% chance while claiming that you are not Gambhiring?

Pakistan's best chance, as has already been said is to bowl first and try to restrict India. They've got to strangle Rohit and Dhawan early and not give any of the top 3,especially kohli those easy singles. And obviously they need to not be Pakistan, and hold on to their catches. Drop kohli/rohit and its basically a death sentence.

India definitely favourites but gut says Pakistan. Improved a lot in this tournament and I'm concerned about our bowling. Looked pedestrian against SL and needed Kedar to pick up a couple of meme wickets against Bangladesh.

srbhkshk, meet Pratters.

I just want to see Imad and Umadkat in the same game sometime.

With all due respect why are you getting so excited? Pakistan has been playing with a spirit you rarely see. Have you ever seen them field this well? India's batting has weakness with Yuvraj-Jadhav-Dhoni. Thus, I back Pakistan to win.

This is certainly one of the three biggest India-Pakistan matches of our lifetime. We have this awesome streak over them in WCs, but when you think about it, only the knockout matches really mattered. So '96, '11 and the WT20 final (though no one took the format that seriously back then). '03 was also a really sweet win though it was a group game. Let's be honest, no one cares about the group stage wins where neither team went on to do anything in the tournament.

Pakistan have the opportunity to reclaim some bragging rights if they win this one.

You are right, India have been playing with no spirit at all and Pakistan has no weaknesses at all. I've changed my mind - Pakistan to win 100% percent.

Donkey logic.

Have I asked you to change your mind? And yes, if India plays with spirit but Pakistan plays with one which it lacks at times, it does increase Pakistan's chances.

Yep, makes them 100%.

 

[Pratters]

Yep, makes them 100%.

100 percent according to me. Doesn't have to be the same for you.

 

[Pratters]

This is not odds on Betfair.

 

[Shri]

This is not anything.

 

[Pratters]

It's at least better than CSK.

Dude if you're going to make a post like this without any cricketing reason, you're going to get attacked and that's what has happened. Spirit does not win you matches. Skillset, form, performance does. India's batting line up is miles ahead of Pakistan's in terms of all 3. India's bowling currently is only marginally behind Pakistan's. To say India are losing 100% because Yuvraj, Dhoni and Jhadav are apparently weak links (still miles ahead of Hafeez and Malik) comes across as gambhiring dude.

Pakistan have the opportunity to reclaim some bragging rights if they win this one.

Tbh they have enough bragging rights even without this match
