Don’t understand the ‘chokers’ logic! SA were tagged as chokers because they lost from winning positions in the knockouts! A team dominating the league/group matches and then losing in the knockout is not ‘choking’! We all have watched enough cricket to know that whoever has a better day wins, unless there is a huge gap between the two teams! Australia was indeed the second best team in this tournament the way they won their last 8 so they are almost equal to India! Win or lose, we should be proud of the Indian team the way they played in this tournament! As for this match, if dew doesn’t set in and our bowlers bowl with form and luck (unlike Bumbrah in the last game), this will be a very difficult pitch to bat on in the second innings! Already we have seen that rotating the strike is not easy and being a bigger ground, aerial shots will be risky!

We need a 320+ score to put any pressure on the Aussies! Anything less, they will still score it with dew setting in even if they lose a few early wickets! We need a big scoreboard pressure along with early wickets

Gill played a very inexperienced shot. Starc was bowling cutters with an occasional quick delivery this Gill should have batted a bit more to get used to the pace unless he got something which was a freebie.
