and with the pressure that the occasion and the huge crowd will bring, will end up being too much for the Kiwis (imo, and hopes)

Well done Aussie, an emphatic win. Smith MOTM I suppose, but the bowlers snuffed out the Indians after a nervous first ten overs. Starc looks indomitable. Not a flawless team, but enough of the key players are making their mark.

India never attacked the rate consistently.... they did so for 3 overs before Dhawan got out, and even at 15 per over required, took singles. You cant play like they did past over 10 to 30 and win matches, even in this T20, 100 runs from last ten overs day.

8 an over or 9 an over can be chased in a pure T20, probably fairly regularly, but wickets down and extending that to an extra 5-10 overs is asking way too much. India batted themselves in a hole through the innings.

That style of batting leads to a loss all the time. Throwing it earlier and losing a few wickets might lose you a game 10 overs before, but it is also the only way you can win. Apart from Dhawan, who played the correct type of innings, others just came in and got out to poor dismissals after putting pressure on themselves.

Interestingly both finalist come from group 'A' so all the talk about it being the easiest group proved wrong. Moores will take a positive from that.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.
