in BIG matches, regardless of the history of the ground.

Too much pressure to be batting second!ο»ΏπŸ€”ο»Ώ

That's easy to seh now...it all depends on yuh resources an wuh the ream is confident doing ..i would prefer Windies to chase cos batting is our strength.....look how NZ battered SA chasing....an Hengland almost beat India in the semis chasing a similar target ...so easy to be wise after the event...we can all do dat!!!!!

Bro, I’m been saying that forever!

Almost, is not a win! More like desperation!

In the last month in the series against NZ, India chased 200 in 15 overs, 150 in 10 overs . Then they asked Santner how many runs you need to score against these guys. He said "300" lol Santner knew how fast they chased in that series.

Listen bro! I’m just reiterating my T20 belief. My philosophy will always be to bat first once it’s in my control!

If you don't have 8 bankable overs that call is not that straight forward. India had Bumrah. So they defended at Wankhede. If you don't have one you can't do.
