Although I am slightly nervous today , it isn’t remotely comparable to Tension I had before 2011 WC semi against Pakistan. Even Dhoni had said in his press conference that “ People have requested him to win the SF , It doesn’t matter if you lose the Final “ . The thought of Pakistan beating India in semis and then go on to win the WC Final at Mumbai ( 2 yrs after the 26/11 attack) was a nightmare no Indian fan wanted to have .

Think it’s pretty much on the top 3 for both teams having the biggest say on who wins. You know they’ll go hard at the powerplay no matter what. I think this game a lot of it will be determined how good a start Warner and Rohit can give their teams and there will also be opportunities to take powerplay wickets cause of how hard the top 3 will go.
Australia I don’t think would be in the final or even the top 4 if they didn’t change up their top order and put marsh at 3 when Head returned Ever since then they’ve had way better starts in the powerplay and at least one of them have went on to a big score on most games to set Australia the win. Smith and Marnus need to show up this game if the openers fail to fire because they’ve barely done it this tournament apart from a few games with slower pitches. Because you can bet your life this pitch will be flat as hell

Don’t think it’s mentioned much but Cummins really improved this tournament with his bowling and captaincy plus played some real handy knocks with the bat. Think since he bowled those death overs against NZ his been quite good

Rohit ton please.
Both teams are capable to beating each other on a given day.
India is definitely stronger in terms of form and momentum. If it was just selected players that got India this far I would say it's 50-50. However, it's crazy to see entire playing XI in form and contributing, not dependent on selected match winners. Very rarely do you see that - like Australia of 2003 and 2007.
Logically thinking all XI can't got out of form at the same time, so even if certain players fail some else will stand up and therefore india is clear favorites and Aussies win will be nothing shot of an upset.
At the end of the day, only nerves can cost India this world cup. It will be about whoever holds their nerve better. Can India just play like they have been, focus on their process and treat this as just another match?
For Aussis, the positive thing is that they have no pressure what-so ever and really nothing to lose. They can just go and enjoy themselves without fear of failure.

But.. can India just not take any mental pressure? Can they play it like just another game?
Can they put fear of failure out of their minds?
That will dictate the end result.
There is no question about which team has better skills, form and momentum.
