Pak and Bangladesh should understand that Rain Gods and Duckworth-Lewis can only take them so far. It needs some talent and hardwork to win the matches
India will INDIA because they are playing well under an able energetic positive minded and enthusiatic leader Kohli and an equally talented and inspiring head coach Kumble.Need we say more.
luck and destiny is favouring pak. dropped catch by thisara gave them entry into semis, they have not looked back since then. we have to only fear something called destiny. As in WC 1992 too, one of they matches against eng in group got washed away giving them entry into semis.rest was history.

If india bats first should scores minimum 350 runs as oval doesn't helping bowlers much.only good fielding or bad batting helping team not oval pitch.if pak batting first then restrict them bellows 275 .

ashwin is also totally out of form, he too dropped mahmudullah yesterday.
India can only win against Pakistan by improving their bowling and restricting Pakistan to scores under 275 as Pakistan have strong bowling attack if AAmir returns from injury. On the other hand, India bowling is weak with Pandya taken to cleaners in all games with his bowling. If 6 batsmen cannot do it, the seventh cannot do it either when chasing over 300 under pressure. Bring Shami or Umesh who are better bowlers than Pandya. If team wants to play Pandya at any cost, it should be choice between Jadhav and Pandya and not an extra regular third seamer. Pakistan have fought back hard and wont be easy to tonk like first match when their bowlers were wayward and with new dashing opener, they have lot of confidence going into final.
Of course we want India to win. But underestimating the opponent is perilous. Pak shocked England, the team that had not lost a single match. Pak are in good form. Even Virat acknowledged that. Our bowling has been blow hot blow cold type. Predicting blindly in favour of India is not correct. Keep finger crossed and hope for the best. May India win!

underestimating Pakis is the biggest blunder we can commit. Luckily our team is well experiences not to fall in the trap but play cautiously. lets hope that there is no superlative performance from Pakistan
bowlers have become lethal. our openers are due for off day.. our middle order untested. above all dropped catch or a missed run out is likelyto cost us heavily.
