A half decent score by India. NZ should chase this easily as the pitch will be better for batting
I reckon @Sithbare should do a live stream, Goldbridge-style. The meltdown if India lose this would be epic.
Told you Indiaās gonna lose this one. The knockout match choke act by India is one thing Iām always sure on.
Despite the fielding, even they canāt choke with their total surelyā¦
Wait and watch.
Meh going have to support South Africa
Iām supporting India.
Just so that they prove @Sithbare wrong.

It does look like NZ have lost too many wickets.
But as long as siraj continues to bowl filth, they have every chance
Shami saved India bigtime here.
What a bowler.
Quite a feat to stand out as a bowler in a game with 700+ runs and 3 centuries.
Even you have to admit itās Indiaās to lose now.

Australia have the big match experience.
And Indiaās bowling attack has shown they can be taken for runs.
NZ came really close at one stage.
200 target with 8 wickets to spare in 20 overs.
And Australiaās hasnāt? 
The main important question - is Bavuma fit enough to play ?
I hope he isnāt. The match will be more closer.
Incredible performance by India in almost every game of this WC. Too good. Clearly the best in the world.
Doesnāt mean they win the World Cupā¦ā¦
In a one-off game, anything can happen. But India will have to seriously underperform, or their opponents raise their game significantly, if they are to lose the final.

They are the best side in this tournament. I think the only problem they have is with pandya injured , the balance of the side goes slightly awry. That is leading them to be playing only 5 bowlers. That can be a problem if one of them has a bad game.
India also doesnāt have enough journeymen in their preferred bowling lineup to have that confidence. Jadeja is a genuine all-rounder but after him , thereās Bumrah, shami, siraj and kuldeep. Thatās a long tail.
A pandya would have allowed a siraj to be dropped.
Depends on the pitch, but if India can figure out a way to play Ashwin instead of say SKY , it will provide more balance to the team. And Ashwin is a decent enough lower order batsman.
Itās not a given that the best side wins the tournament though.
Right south africa win the toss and bat first.
Bavuma in the team. That spells more disaster for SA than any of my predictions.
Congratulations on reaching the finals Australia.
Seeing how inaccurate your predictions have been so far, SA are a certainty.
Sentence fails the @cynicaloldgit test.
