Pandya is the joginder Sharma of this team. At the end of the day in this format more than accumulators you need people who can clear the ropes consistently which we just don't have. Till then on standard flat decks theres always a good chance that you'll get outgunned by a team with more firepower. On merit we didn't deserve to win the competition based on the steal against Bangladesh.

Lets look at it this way

The two teams that are in the final are the teams with,

The best batting depth
The best power hitters
The best selection of multiple all-rounders

Only team that comes close to matching them is Australia and they messed up with their selection.

You just cant contain teams with incredible batting depth and power hitters when you're bowling second and that too on a flat deck.When Windies won the toss,they won the game.

Bangladesh had multiple batting all-rounders slogging at 8 and 9, and they didn't win a game. Might sound old-fashioned but I think being good might also play a role

Simmons deservedly getting plaudits, but how good was Russell's innings?

Charles falling seemed certain to spark a collapse but he's come in and hit 43 off 20. Just seemed that any time India bowled a few good deliveries and got the required rate to 12+ Russell would hit a few boundaries and the pressure was right back on the bowlers.

It is weird to hear about Sammy 'telling the boys' anything at the break. I wonder how many of them were thinking 'maybe next time you'll have a bowl, skip'

Who ever bats second wins imo, both teams just have too much batting for anything other than something ridiculous like 250 to not be chaseble, providing both teams don't do something truly stupid, the toss is a huge moment

Captain of the tournament is probably Mathews at this stage.
