Same here. I am also backing up for the Aussie but India is playing way to well. With only 1 wicket down at 135 and plenty of batsmen to come, i wonder if India will make 400+ runs today.

I thought everyone is sleeping today despite having India vs Australia match. Where are you all? :-P

Not sure if 400+ will be the total run but the way India is going 350+ will be very easy for them. Australia needs to pick wickets.

Sunday and Watching match with buddies.

Round of Beers and Tea party

India need to make at least 350 runs here, Oz bats deep too so they will fight till the end.

Australia has this habit to chase high scores and win, even 400+ runs does not matter for them if they can manage a good partnership. The key point is that Australia do not give up until the last ball.

India should be scoring 350+ runs. Have fun with you mates. I am interested to see the point table (pool) after this match. :-)

India is going to win this match and spin duo can do wonders tonight if not then big lol for India hehehe

Don't think India will able to make more than 400, they will be around 340-370.

Pitch is flat, so dont rule out Aussie chase, if they able to play well Indian spinner.

Good to see you on this thread. Feel free to join the prediction pool. I am sorry for your project that failed because of some unexpected results in the beginning.

I do think India will be able to manage 350+ runs but not 400. Dhawan just gone.

Why are people talking about 400 and 350? At current run rate India would hardly reach 300. If they are able to take advantage of the wickets they hold, they could reach upto 325 but no more. Australian bowlers won't be delivering them easy balls. And they have just 60 balls left and 100s the most they can get of it.

We are considering the last 4/5 overs. Since India have wickets in hand, they will hit hard in the later overs. They will look for over 10 to 12 runs an over. You may see one or two over with 20+ runs. So 350 runs is achievable.

We will see.

8 wickets in hand and 54 balls remaining,these all are called death overs for a reason.Batsmen try to hit every ball out of the ground so chances of reaching 350+ is certainly possible from now on.Interesting thing is still Dhoni yet to come into the crease so if Aussies took a wicket then they are in more danger mode than now.

If Dhoni bats then from the last over surely he will take 20+ runs. He has done it again and again several times. I am also positive that 350 runs are possible.

Kohli, Pandya is going to take every chance to get as many runs as they can get.

Good to see that India promoting Hardik Pandya at this stage and he is sent at this stage to smash from the get go and then i am expecting Dhoni to come and we are expecting a score above 350 runs from this stage until we see some wonderful bowling from the Australians mean while Kohli should bat till the end and play the anchor role. With the bowlers India have in this tournament we will win the match if they can score anything above 320 runs in this pitch.

I am positive about Australia even if India scores 300+ runs. Aussies has this habit to chase big scores and win from there. My pick was Australia to win comfortably but may be they will win a close match.

Aussies have big name on this squad but India even too,they have best bowler in this format and also have many variations which can trouble Aussies.

But fast track has advantage on them,so lets see who is going to perform well.

India improved a lot in their bowling attack so I am not saying Australia will have an easy chase. Even if Australia can chase whatever run India scores, it won't be easy. They will have to work for every runs they score.

This will be an interesting match not a one sided boring match.

I hope now you understand why people were anticipating 350+ runs by India?
They managed to get 352/5.

I am still hopeful that this match will not be single sided and Aussie can still win this match.  They need to bat well.
An entertaining run chase is waiting for us. 

[AB de Royse777]

@tsaroz, you believe now :-)
India had the wickets in hand and most of us were considering that. Now Australia needs 353 runs to win. If they can chase then this will be a record chase in the oval ground.

Fingers crossed for Australia (My team) :-)

It all depends on how Australia is going to face Bumrah with his tight line and length and if Warner dismantles the Indian opening bowlers then it will be a different story altogether, another interesting aspect is how Australia will tackle the spin duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav, if India can pick wickets in the beginning then it will put the pressure but if they start comfortably then they have the batting line up to chase this total, if Australia wins this match, then Glenn Maxwell will be the player to help them chase this total.

Another interesting and fun stat i would like to share is that Bhuvneshwar Kumar never bowled a no ball since 2015 which is an exceptional feat.
Heard this fun fact from the commentary team in the last match when Bhuvi was bowling  .

Australia needs a good start and they have to be very active in the middle overs. They can not miss too many balls. Single and doubles has to be their priority so that the require run rate do not starts to climb up. If they can follow these rules then we are going to see a very entertaining match and hopefully a win for Australia.

Really!
This is something extra ordinary. Not many first bowler/medium pacer can do that.

It will be huge run chase, if AUS suppose to manage that will be a record chase in the World Cup history. I am sure they are capable to manage that sum total as its batting pitch. India should win here, anyway. BTW! Worst fielding by Australian side.

It is big score to chase by oZ have started well as they have not lost a wicket which was their strategy to play safely for first 10 overs so that anything if pitch has to do will be first 10 overs . Now they can bat freely and also run rate will improve slowly .
