Nah, again, credit where it's due IMO. Australia are piling on the pressure from both ends (bat and ball). They set a record target and are bowling and fielding well. WC is all about winning the right games.

FFS i wish people would get over this. Teams have good days and bad days and its high pressure which leads to mistakes.

It's all relative. For this world cup on this ground, that's a pretty normal total.

True, but there's way more at stake in a knockout game, so more pressure for both sides which leads to more conservative batting and more mistakes.
 
India 138/4 (191 runs required from 20 overs, RR: 4.60, RRR: 9.55)

This ^

Rahane is a great player, but he needs to find a way to rotate the strike or there will be too much to do in the closing overs.
 
India 157/4 (172 runs required from 17 overs, RR: 4.75, RRR: 10.11)

The run-rate required sneaks over 10 for the first time.
 
India 165/4 (164 runs required from 16 overs, RR: 4.85, RRR: 10.25)

They can't afford to lose more wickets before the powerplay+last 10. They're gambling a bit but it's smarter than going for it now....I reckon Dhoni can get them 12-15 runs an over in the powerplay IF Aus start to feel the presssure and bowl like we did.
