18th June - FINAL - India vs Pakistan

[AndyZaltzHair]

India will face a different Pakistan in final than the league group. This could go either way but advantage India

Can't see India losing this tbh. If it was against England, NZ, AUS or SA they'd be underdogs, but Pak definitely did them a favour.

Have India beaten Bangladesh already?

But India got lucky getting Bangladesh remember?
If only they had got New Zealand or South Africa, it would have been a different ball game

Pretty much spot on tbh

Pak can have this win. It's not The Streak. The CT means ****all to the Ind-Pak rivalry since they've beaten us before in the tournament twice.

Also because it's the CT.

Let's be honest though, if India makes it, them beating us in a final would be incredibly sweet for them and would go a long way to making up for all the WC losses.

A little for sure. But I think it's more because of how unexpected this run has been.

But yes, beating us in a final would be pretty sweet for them. And I do think it's going to happen.

Considering the finals are on a fresh pitch if we make it through I don't see us losing to Pakistan. In recent years the few matches we have lost to Pakistan have all been on bowling friendly pitches where they have had to chase low scores. We have murdered them on flat pitches.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

If its a flat pitch, India likely to make 300 ish and Pakistan will be in trouble chasing it unless Fakhar Zaman gets a real quick hundred. If India bats second then they can chase 270 easily.

Lol.. seems like the Gambhiring could not be contained to the match thread alone for some posters..

 

[Black_Warrior]

This is the match thread HB

 

[honestbharani]

Nah.... not the match thread for the current match.

 

[OverratedSanity]

India allout 223, Pak win by 7 wickets, Hasan Ali 4/46 imo

Such massive gambhiring, even by my standards

 

[Teja.]

and the time is upon us, Paul.

 

[ankitj]

India got nothing to gain and everything to lose (given all the hype about India having edge over Pakistan in big tournaments). Wish they were playing a different team in Final. If they lose, no one's gonna give them compliments for making the finals. Pressure's on India.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Feels like it's Pakistan's time tbh.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Quite looking forward to the Final. I hope it's a blazing hot day and most of the crowd are supporters of the two teams.

 

[Anil]

i think pakistan will win this one...
