Everyone who isn’t an Indian wants NZ to win this game.

Anyone who is an Indian, thinks they are playing on a level playing field, despite not having to even enter Pakistan (the host nation).

BCCI are taking this sport into a dangerous place if this is the control they have.

That was a very comprehensive performance from us, really like what we’re doing. Best two teams in the tournament in the final, no doubt on that…. Huge advantage for one, who that is seems to depend on your perspective. I’m confident we can match them, but tough ask…. Better than a puncher’s chance

I reckon India invested a lot mentally into making sure they don’t lose to Australia. In a way it was their final. Might be a bit flat in the real final. So many obstacles already for the brave dream 11. Can they do it one more time?

Excellent innings by Kane W.
At times he can be a bit of a slug in the white ball caper but he accelerated well last night.

South Africa have a weakness and that's their second spinner. Might not need it at the World cup at home. (Unless India take over pitch preparations).

I think the slug things a bit unfair - he bats 3 and averaged 49.5 at SR 82 - he's not Kohli, but he's effective - having the explosiveness of Mitchell, Bracewell and Phillips is key though - but we'll never have fireworks through the order like Baz wants

A young slug not an old one.
