Well the PM is also from there, the current BCCI heads are from there, I’m sure that also plays a part, and why it was built there in the first place.

yes it was political, and the World Cup final is being held in a city with no cricketing pedigree

First India should reach the final. We were very confident even in 2019 WC before SF.

 

[Gob]

Straya not going to the final.

Haha now they'll definitely make it

Yessss, DO NOT rule out another choke against NZ just yet.

Last time a NZ fan told me something like this and NZ haven't won since then.

Except Mumbai , no other venue has more pedigree.

Chennai won’t be given WC Final just because they applauded Pakistan team in 1999 as Joshi and Srinath choked in a simple chase.

I think SA lost this game mentally first. They looked psyched out from the get go... Both bowling and batting...

It seems Indian team is carrying a bit of an aura playing like this at home. It might be getting to the opposition.... like how the Aus team used to have this invincibility about them. Teams are under pressure/psyched out

Think Australia is one team who could destroy all this and bring India back down to Earth or worse. They aren't going to be overwhelmed by anything. In fact they will try to put the pressure back on India at every opportunity they get.

Yep, I will never count out Aussies even after all their greats leave. That old school mental toughness is what everyone fears.

But claiming that 250 was a "par score" against arguably the best batting line-up of the tournament is a heck lot of confidence .

This Indian team looks efficient and set, especially the bowling. A decade ago, I would have never imagined our bowling being this good.

Our pace bowling is having its best year in ODI since 2003 .

Getting ahead of yourself there pal

Getting ahead of yourself there pal

It's only a single game of cricket mate, played with a white ball. You'd be a fool if you didn't think anything could happen in one day.

Karthik: "Jadeja becomes the first Indian spinner to take a 5fer at a World Cup. Yuvraj Singh was the first to do it, he took a 5fer at the 2011 World Cup"

Mother****er take a second to think before talking ffs

He doesn't think Yuvraj is a spinner..

 

[honestbharani]

It's not that deep bro. Ahmedabad has a 100 million capacity stadium. It'd be dumb to have the final anywhere else.

Also, peak monsoon in Chennai and Bangalore.

fair point but final should be in one of the big five cities

The point was NZ have not qualified yet I think.

Well don't go missing when Aussie gets KOed out of the SF like the last time.

Aus have won 5 WC . They won’t even bother if they don’t win this one . You are really getting ahead of yourself now

They shouldn't because they aren't winning for a foreseeable future.

 

[Gob]

We'll they weren't supposed to be in the top 6 according to alwayswrong asshole's initial estimation

Ought to get something right like broken clocks though
