India are a hell of a side regardless of conditions. But they have clearly benefited from not having to travel during the tournament, spending weeks examining a favourable square. Those who argue otherwise are kidding themselves. Rohit Sharma’s men begin as overwhelming favourites.

Enter New Zealand, a side looking to make that final step after a decade of near misses in white-ball cricket. Aside from the lost 50–over World Cup finals in 2015 and 2019, there was defeat in the T20 equivalent in late 2021. Mitchell Santner has led brilliantly in his first tournament as captain, his team packed with variety and still beholden to the old-world brilliance of Kane Williamson at No 3. They are up against it … but so were Australia 16 months ago.

preamble
People I'm thinking about now? The obsession of the game in Lahore is those who have been waiting decades for a massive tournament to arrive in Pakistan, those who are as much love as they do their own thing. It was a shame their own men came out soon. It's far sexual that they were eventually shipped to Dubai.
India is hell regardless of conditions. However, they do not have to travel during the tournament and have clearly benefited from spending several weeks examining the preferred plaza. Otherwise, those who argue are teasing themselves. Rohit Sharma's men start out as an overwhelming favorite.
Please enter New Zealand. He is about to take that final step after a decade of near-miss in whiteball cricket. Except for the 2015 and 2019 World Cup finals for those over 50, there were losses in the second half of 2021, which amounted to a T20. Mitchell Santner led spectacularly in his first tournament as captain.
I'm here to guide you through the entire game. And yes, I will cheer up in the end. Drop me a line for your thoughts, queries, songs requests, whatever makes you happy.
