During the Asian Cup matches between India and Pakistan were ruined by rain so the Pakistani team did not perform through rain but I think Pakistan will give the Indian team a very tough time in this World Cup.
Come on! I have no idea why you guys bother with these lame excuses to defend your favourite teams. Fact is that Pakistan lost against India and Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup and they are definitely the underdogs going into the World Cup.

They don't have great spinners and most of their batsmen keep performing inconsistently. Their teammates fighting over various matters makes things worse for them. Think!

The Indian teams are no doubt very strong nowadays and have good players. The team is good in both bowling and batting. If we talk about the bating then they face anyone and at least one of them definitely makes a century on the other side if you look at their bowling which is too good yesterday they out the Australian batsman on 9 runs. But it could be harder if we say that the Indian team wins this World Cup because there are other teams also that make efforts like England New Zealand and Pakistan to win this cup. During the Asian Cup matches between India and Pakistan were ruined by rain so the Pakistani team did not perform through rain but I think Pakistan will give the Indian team a very tough time in this World Cup.
Team India is now the number one team in three formats of cricket. Every one of their players is in great form right now. Whether you say batting, bowling or fielding, the Indian players look much stronger now. India was one of the favorites for the 2023 World Cup till the Asia Cup tournament but now their performance seems to make them one of the best contenders for the 2023 World Cup. 

India have arranged the team in such a way that even number 10 players can bat brilliantly. The performance of every player in the team has made it difficult for India to select the players, where all the players are doing well, who will be left in the eleven, now it has become a big challenge for the team management.

This is why I think India is the most favorite team for this year's world cup. But the main problem of Indian batsmen is that their performance is somewhat erratic . We have seen India lose badly against Bangladesh. But I think the team will not make such a mistake in the world cup . And this is the team we will see in the final of the World Cup...
You guys need to temper your expectations frankly speaking because India usually performs really well in certain matches and underperform badly in critical matches(Eg: Recent WTC final against Australia).

They are number one across all formats which is insane indeed, but high rankings don't always translate to big tournament wins.
True! When you become a favorite for any big event, there is a possibility of being complacent or like Indian management says " 30 minutes of bad cricket" Don't want to hear these words again.

Let's hope no left arm fast bowler takes us by surprise, if it happens then we are practically 3 down in powerplay lol. In the last 5-6 years it happened in literally every crucial match and we never recovered.

If India can pile up close to 400 runs against one of the best bowling lineups in the world, then imagine what they can do against weak teams such as Bangladesh and Netherlands. There is a good possibility that new records will be created and 500 plus totals will be scored. Anyway, the matches are being played in India and therefore there is good chance of pitches offering zero support for the bowlers (at least for the pace bowlers). Teams that doesn't have quality spinners, such as Australia, England and Pakistan are going to struggle.

you are right, India's batsmen have the ability to bat responsibly against any strong bowling attack and score big total. Australian bowlers are very experienced, also I thought Pakistan's pace bowling attack is the best in the world right now.  Against these two teams I have seen Indian batsmen perform brilliantly in recent times, this is why I think India is the most favorite team for this year's World Cup.

Almost every team have the same problem. If the opening is good, automatically rest of the players will contribute the best. In the match between Australia and India, opening failed but the one down gave hands. This boosted the performance of the middle order and they were able to handle situation without much of pressure. We don't know how far will be the consistency in performance. Top teams on the list will have close competence in the World Cup matches. As said, real match between India and Pakistan hadn't taken place in the Asia Cup. During the World Cup this is going to be really interesting as the bowling unit of Pakistan is strong as India have already shattered the leading Australian bowling.

I think India was also not playing with there full strength in yesterday game. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are not playing in yesterday's game. KL Rahul was Indian Captain in place of Rohit Sharma. Both teams are giving rest to there main players to avoid injury ahead of ODI WC. With recent wins its very much clear that India is favourite to lift WC trophy.

And without their top batsmen they made 399/5 against one of the best bowling sides in the world! And this was after Ruturaj Gaikwad got out cheaply. The partnership between Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer simply destroyed the Australians. By the time Iyer got out, Australia was far ahead. And I was disappointed with the performance from Australian bowlers. This team once had bowlers like McGrath and Lee, who would have terrorized Indian batsmen in any type of wicket. And now they have bowlers who get deflated on flat tracks.
Once after the wicket of Gaikwad good partnership of 200 runs came between Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill. The wickets of Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill fell consecutively. After that kL Rahul took the responsibility and it was evident every player fulfilled their responsibility. When we talk of legendary bowlers like McGrath and Lee, we should also state that the present day's batsmen were also good enough with better skills to play against those kind of bowling.
In the beginning, when the partnership grows, confidence increased in every player in the team. Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer have scored 200 runs and Captain Rahul also consistent, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav each contributed to the team. Due to which the India team was able to score such a big score. Any good bowler of Australia didn't impact against India. On the other hand, no one was consistent except David Warner for Australia. On 27th September if Australia is to prevent the Whitewash, there is no option for them to win.

Every batsman of India team belongs to the top category. Some of them used to be in off-form in the last few matches. But Indian batting lineup has become strong again as the players are getting runs continuously. Shubman Gill is the top scorer of ODI cricket in this year. And the good thing is that Suryakumar Yadav is playing some good innings now. His form was very bad a few months ago. Indian batting lineup will be able to destroy any team if they can continue like this. Now India is the most favourite team for the upcoming ODI world cup.

It is important to mention that this is not Australia's full-strength bowling attack, but still, the way India is batting, it will be difficult for a bowling attack to restrict them at a low score. We have seen their batting against Pakistan in the Asia Cup against one of the best bowling attacks. I think it will be a rare occasion for a team to go past 400 runs, as the pitches for the World Cup will be different along with World Cup pressure. So a 300 total will be a par score in the World Cup, with few exceptions.
Yes! Spinners will be crucial in this World Cup, and the teams you mentioned do not have a quality spin attack. Those middle overs are important in deciding the fate of the ODI game, and if a team loses the momentum in middle overs, they will lose the match.

I think India was also not playing with there full strength in yesterday game. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are not playing in yesterday's game. KL Rahul was Indian Captain in place of Rohit Sharma. Both teams are giving rest to there main players to avoid injury ahead of ODI WC. With recent wins its very much clear that India is favourite to lift WC trophy.
Although the Indian squad did not include Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, their absence was not felt in the batting performance of Shubman Gill (104), Shreyas Iyer (105), Rahul (52), SKY (72). One thing is clear that if the Indian squad is packed with star players, multiple teams can be packed. But we cannot easily accept that Australia will perform so badly when they come to India. On the tour of South Africa, despite a strong performance in the early batches of the series, Australia were beaten by poor performances towards the end of the matches. The same trend continues in the tour of India, where the Indian team is batting brilliantly in the first innings while Australia are losing by a huge margin at the same venue which may require a lot of accountability in Australia's batting line and bowling line.

Without Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, it was certainly a remarkable performance for the Indian team to make such a big score; Key players of both these teams were not involved in the match, but India's performance so well is a moment of concern for all the teams. The Australian players did not have the enthusiasm that the Australian players are known for. The Indian team easily controlled them.

The way the Australian team is playing matches against India is very disappointing, and Australia will have to revise it. Indian team will definitely be favorites to win the World Cup but nothing can be said too early in cricket as there are strong cricket teams apart from Australia who can be expected to do well. For example, there are teams like South Africa, England and New Zealand. That has the potential to cause problems for any good team

I think this shows how well the next gen of India has improved. Once the older gen eventually retires, I think India is not going to have any problems throughout the transition period. And of course India did very well in the last match against Australia. I didn't expect that India is going to win the match so easily. But the performance that India actually put on was incredible and I don't think that anyone will deny India deserving to win the match.

But we can also say that Australia was actually unlucky. The rain interrupted the match at the most inconvenient time for Australia. The track was not best suited for batting after the rain. Son that is one reason for Australia not doing well at all in the match.

You guys need to temper your expectations frankly speaking because India usually performs really well in certain matches and underperform badly in critical matches(Eg: Recent WTC final against Australia).

They are number one across all formats which is insane indeed, but high rankings don't always translate to big tournament wins.

India had given a very big target of 400. Of course, Australia had problems trying to chase that target. Australia was under pressure from the very start of their innings. And because of the DLS method, Australia had to score  317 in 33 overs. That was definitely a task which was difficult for even the best of the best teams. So of course Australia was unable to reach the total.

India from day one are very strong at there home grounds and this win just confirm this fact. This Victory tells alot about Indian preparation for the upcoming ODI WC. Last time India won ODI WC was in 2011 and venue was India. They also have complete dominance over other Asian teams as it was evident from there performance in Asia Cup.
Right Now india is most favourite team to win the World Cup 2023. India won 2nd Odi by 99 runs DLS method against Australia and lead the 3 match series by 2-0. India set a high total of 400 runs for Australia that seems quite difficult to chase down and Australia bowled out in just 217 runs. India bowling and batting performance were outstanding especially Ravichandran Ashwin who picked up 3 wickets by giving 41 runs in 7 overs and Ravindra Jadeja aslo picked 3 important wickets by giving 47 runs. The player of the match is Shreyas Iyer for his brilliant hundred scoring 105 runs in just 90 balls. now India is looking for whitewash but Australia has the potential to come back in the Final ODI before the World Cup.

Now that’s what is quality batting from the Indian batters. I mean Australians are known for their deadly bowling attack, but seeing yesterday’s batting of India against them, this fact has been converted into a myth. I mean the Indian batters didn’t spared anyone. They attacked each and every bowlers of the Aussies. Moreover the favourite player from Yesterday match was Suryakumar. He proved everyone wrong, who used to mock at his performance. Well played Surya and Ashwin.

I stand with Palestine.

Good to see Indian batsmen scoring good against the Australia team with much confidence and in a much comfortable manner. What needs to continue is the consistent performance. The problem arises when India tour other countries. Being on the home ground, India team players are good enough to score as well as defend. Away from home venue limited players used to perform well, rest used to return to the pavilion scoring mere runs. Anyhow this is a big win for India team before the start of ODI World Cup.
What an excellent performance by Indian team. There were a little delay due to rain but after that India set 400 runs target for Australia. And what a great partnership of Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill both made centuries. Shubman Gill  made 104 runs for 97 balls and Shreyas Iyer made 105 runs for 90 balls and he also got player of the match award.
And in the bowling line India also surprised us and they didn't give chance Australia to go above 250 runs. And with in 29 overs they got all wickets of Australian team. Congratulations to India team.
