Why is an irrelevant India-Pakistan ****fight happening here?

So so excited for the match tomorrow. Having high hopes on the Indian team and I really hope they don't disappoint. If India win the toss and bat first, I give them a 90% chance and if they field, then it will be 50-50 due to the menacing swing in the second innings and Boult's tenacity to pick up early wickets.

Can Kohli and Rohit finally turn up in a knock-out?

I feel a SKY special. Had the same thing with Siraj before the AC final. Simply cause SKY hasn't come to the party yet (not that he has been needed to).

Fair. But we didn't see this in last T20 World Cup. We weren't sure about DK vs Pant selection. And India for no comprehensible reason ditched the "new approach" (the England way) after 2 years of persisting with it.

It's definitely not 90% if India wins the toss. More like 60-65%
The second bet seems way better. Kane is playing right?

Yeah India chased down 275 in the 2011 wc final after losing both openers early to Malinga's swing.

A few too many things have to go right for NZ to win this IMO, though they were the team that probably gave India the biggest headaches in the league game. Especially when you compare the bowling attacks, there’s no getting away from the NZ 6th bowler issue (though Ravindra and Phillips have done their best).
Fully fit Jamieson would still be a slightly better selection than Southee IMO, but they’re not going to veer in that direction (neither of them is Henry in white-ball TBH). Hope Boult is suitably fired up as we could be looking at his last appearance(s) in international cricket for NZ.
Another change they may consider for the KO stage is Neesham back in for Chapman, as KW and team generally favour experience in these situations.

Regardless, we don't want India to chase 300+. Not because Wankhede has demons but because India has had a terrible record chasing big totals for 5+ years now. Last time India chased 300+ against a team participating in this world cup was way back in 2017 when Kedar Jadhav paired up with Kohli (India has since chased 300+ against West Indies but they have been a declining team for a long time).

Whatever it takes!!!
How players play is also ultimately on them. What I mean is selection decisions. I wont credit Dravid for Rohit deciding to be a Jayasuriya finally, which is something we have always lacked and had been an issue over the last 10 years. And I wont blame Dravid for the same batsmen growing timid in the T20 WC.

nz are tough opponents for us
10-15 overs of new ball swing available under lights at least but they are the team who knows how to play swing best. ball also turns very briefly before dew sets in until 25th over or so.
but it will be a nightmare to play only if it is around mid 140s. swing at lower speeds can be seen off without too much damage from the bowlers.
southee is slow and boult is not quick as he used to be but more skillful with experience. ferguson can be scored off. santner will bowl 10 overs for 1-2 wickets conceding only 40-50.
we need to do really well if we bowl first or get 320+ if batting first
