Would Australia have won if they batted first?

Aus were the better team on the day, simple as that. India can't complain; they got the better conditions on a few occasions in the group stages. In the semis too, at a ground where they'd previously destroyed SL, but NZ fronted up rather well, didn't they? The law of averages finally caught up with us; everything that could go wrong mostly did go wrong, just in a less humiliating way than say Eden '96.

Well yeah because people would be like "how tf are you alive"
They would've scored 280
Under extreme pressure, gill would've got out early, Rohit 15 runs later, then another edge, yet another edge found
Would've been 12-1, 33-2, 54-3 edge, 82-4 edged
That's how historically India have in major tournament, pressure games and especially against Australia have done. Got to think back to those dlf games, many other games.
Knowing how they batted first, that's how they would've batted similar second innings. The only chance is if the score is 100-1 and Rahul hanging there till the end which he would've been nervous jabbing the bat. He seems a bit shaky under pressure.
Starc would've took two, Cummins one
Then some revival, jadeja out of 10, score 112-5 after 28
Then the last two recognised batsman wouldn't know whether to play say for 7 overs or go for it
Even if Australia scored 260, India would find themselves timid, nervously hanging bat, not knowing when to poke or leave or to attack

Ok
Australia score 273
India 85-4 (20)
Some cautious batting, defence, milking between the fourth and fifth wicket
The batsman finds the edge of a very good delivery
115-5 (27)
Some revival
Singles taken, milking the bowling, defence, leaving balls
Another edge found
153-6 (35)-S Yadav getting out the turning point
Then they would've scored 25 in 6 trying to get a platform knowing six wickets are down
A lot of defence, leaving
Easy singles taken
178-6 (41)
Needing 94 off 9, Rahul would ask he's tail Ender's to go for it
Tailenders hit two fours, hit twos
24 off 3 overs hit
202-7
(44)
Needing 72 off 6
This is when Rahul thinks it's time for him
Hit two fours, some singles, 17 off two
220-8 (46)
54 off 4, rrr 14 an over
Rahul skies it and gets out
Two fours hit by the tail, twos
240-9 (48)
34 off 12, tense eyes in the Indian dugout
In the t20 era, even 17 an over is possible if they can hit fours they think and hope this is the case
Chewing nails
Batsman gets out trying to hit a six to mid on
240-10

Stop writing fan fiction
You know it's true under pressure how India bats against good attacksStop writing fan fiction
Always seen this and especially all the loses in the finals between 2000-2004 where India made virtually every tourney final

I think India would have won , this reminded me of George Foreman (India) vs Mohammad Ali (Australia) ..
Foreman was unstoppable destroying everyone in his wake , Mohammad Ali was a legend of the sport, but many believed was passed his best but he banked on a rope a dope strategy which was a risk (Cummins risked batting under lights, and scoreboard pressure) but one which gave his side the best chance.

Depends on where it is. If she's holding it, she's probably still your aunty.
