Yeah losing the toss and not batting first basically cost us any chance of winning.
It's not good for ODIs as a contest when it is so much harder to bat under lights than during the day.
This is why ODI World Cups in England are fairer contests as they don't play day night games, they are all day games.
This isn't a fair contest.
... Touching on that if India (they'll most likely win this) lose the toss & bat 2nd in the final then for sure they'll want the Australians to be facing against them..
South Africa's top order all basically hit plenty of sixes (except Bavuma... he's garbage.. lol) and can blow out the total that India will be very nervous chasing.
If the Aussies drop a few early wickets then the Indians can breathe a sigh of relief with Smith & Labuschagne at the crease flicking it around at 5.5 an over.
