As the tournament wore on, chasing became much harder. Of the last 12 matches, only 2 were outright won by the team batting 2nd. One of those was the rather strange capitulation by Aus in the other semi who had still elected to bat.What is the general opinion of posters regarding 2019 WC semi-final ?
Did India fail with the bat or bowl ? I consider batting to be the failure, but there are some people who believe NZ scored 20-30 runs above par on that wicket.
I don’t think Australia capitulated. Roy took them apart like in India game in 2019 WC . England looked completely different team when Vince was dropped and Roy became fit.As the tournament wore on, chasing became much harder.

If India had won the toss, I suspect they'd have won.
I think the issue was more that they found themselves 14-3, never really got the innings moving and ended up with a totally sub par 223.I don’t think Australia capitulated.

They'll be punished either way. Can't win!India to be punished if they don't play him.
Think it was just about par (if you managed to get through the first 10 overs). Memory says it wasn't easy to time the ball on the surface at all (Jadeja was the exception), with set batsmen and wickets in hand you could get to 250. Williamson and Taylor took this approach and even though they were pretty slow it was justified. Bowling-wise India didn't do a lot wrong.What is the general opinion of posters regarding 2019 WC semi-final ?

These guys killed it I reckon. Karthik in particular should not have been there. Might be harsh but he (and the others you named tbh, in 2019) were a massive step down.DK, Pant, Pandya and Dhoni all had their issues coming into the match and I think the management could have done a lot better in the lead-up.
Have you guys stopped crying after being knocked out before reaching yet another WC semi-final ( 6 out of 7 times this century)Hope whole India cries a river when NZ beats them. Would be so iconic.
how many ****ing ICC events did you win since 2013? Ah yes, ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROHave you guys stopped crying after being knocked out before reaching yet another WC semi-final ( 6 out of 7 times this century)
That is also number of times Pak has won against IND in a WC gamehow many ****ing ICC events did you win since 2013? Ah yes, ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERO
wrooooooooooooongThat is also number of times Pak has won against IND in a WC game
All I've been seeing is this 'one line' from Pakistan over and over again for the past one year. Countless such comments.how many ****ing ICC events did you win since 2013? Ah yes, ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERO
Don’t feed the troll. He will go away .All I've been seeing is this 'one line' from Pakistan over and over again for the past one year. Countless such comments.
IMO you guys have created a bad omen for yourself. Keep it up. Keep mentioning it so that mother nature can rectify some things.
Wish I shared your optimismnz only won because of rain and india's loss of momentum in 2019 SF
Should've hit more fours. That's what you get for being such hard-working plebs.Wish I shared your optimism
I would have believed it if NZ didn’t play such a good game in the final . I don’t want to restart the debate but NZ were extremely unlucky not to win the Final .
