00:00 Hello, good morning and welcome to the pavilion.
00:23 I am Fakhr-e-Aram and you are watching A Sports, 10 Sports and the ARY Zai Paipaar continue to end the final day of coverage of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023.
00:33 It is the big day. It is the day we'll find out who is going to be crowned as the champions of ODI cricket.
00:41 It has been a fantastic journey and before we get cracking today, let me bring in the four very special guests that I have in this show with me.
00:51 Four outstanding minds that have been in this journey throughout the World Cup with me in the pavilion.
00:58 First up, former captain of Pakistan, great runner between the wickets, a great player of spin, morning.
01:04 And captain of Pakistan, Shoaib Malik. Good morning, Assalam-o-Alaikum, Shoaib.
01:08 Good morning, Wa-Alaikum-Salaam. Good morning and Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone.
01:12 The most successful test captain in Pakistan's cricket history. I've got Miss Baluha. Good morning, Assalam-o-Alaikum, Miss Baluha.
01:18 Good morning, Wa-Alaikum-Salaam and Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone.
01:22 Chandi ki Lomri, the silver fox, the man of crisis, excellent runner between the wickets, one of the finest wicket keepers in the game of cricket.
01:30 Mohin Khan, good morning, Assalam-o-Alaikum, Mohin. Good morning, Wa-Alaikum-Salaam, Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone.
01:34 And this man needs no introduction, ladies and gentlemen. He is a force to be reckoned with.
01:39 As I tell you, but I'll give the real introduction in the post-match.
01:43 I've got the sultan of swing, the king of all all-rounders, Wasim Akram. Good morning, Assalam-o-Alaikum, Wasim.
01:49 Good morning, Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone. Guys, bonjour.
01:53 Assalam, Assalam, bonjour.
01:55 Right, gentlemen. Big day, big competition. It's India versus Australia.
02:01 Match item is coming up on your screen. We'll take you to India versus Australia at 1.30 pm in Ahmedabad at the Modi Stadium.
02:09 The two teams, the two best teams of this World Cup are now face to face for the final time.
02:15 And at the end of the day, one will be crowned champion. It is an outstanding day.
02:20 There is a lot of history here as well between these two teams and there's a lot to talk about.
02:25 Let's get cracking, Wasim. India has been undefeated in this World Cup.
02:30 They have played extremely methodical, clinical cricket.
02:34 Everyone's roles are defined. Everyone knows what their role is in the team.
02:39 There are no gaps in the team. Every corner is covered.
02:43 And they are undefeated. And they come into the final undefeated.
02:47 Absolutely. And if you look at this World Cup, the last four matches of India are 397, New Zealand 410, Netherlands 326, South Africa and 357, Sri Lanka.
02:59 That shows how good India has been in this World Cup. Consistency. This is the 10th game they've won in a row.
03:06 I doubt that any team has done this in the history of the World Cup.
03:09 10 matches. And only one match was closed for half an hour.
03:14 When India was chasing Australia in Chennai, when 2-3 wickets fell early, that was a hiccup.
03:22 But after that, it was just a one-way track. The way they played, the way they batted, bowled, fielded, captained, everything worked for them.
03:33 And it's not a fluke. It's a fluke. One and a half innings in T20.
03:39 Ten consecutive matches. That shows the consistency, the quality and the planning behind this.
03:45 This wasn't planned a week ago. It must have taken a year and a half to decide which place to track and which place to keep in the pool.
03:52 So well done. Congratulations to everyone involved with Indian cricket.
03:55 Rohit Sharma and Shubhman Gill, what a great partnership.
03:59 And on top of that, they put so much pressure on any bowling attack that it becomes very difficult for bowlers to find the right line or the length or setting up the right field.
04:09 And how important is that? Because it opens the doors for the entire batting lineup.
04:14 One thing is very important in cricket and that is momentum. Your start.
04:19 If you create momentum in the start, where the other team is at the back foot and their main striker is bowling at that time.
04:29 And if you look at the overall batting lineup of India, the top five batsmen, look at their scores.
04:37 The minimum score is Jadeja at 7th place and he has an average of 55. He hasn't got that much opportunity.
04:45 Otherwise, Shubhman Gill has 350 runs, 386 runs, Kale Rahul, Virat Kohli is at the top with 711 runs, Rohit Sharma has 550 runs, Iyer has 526 runs.
05:00 It means that everyone is scoring in batting. There is no player who has not scored in batting.
05:08 You can say that he hasn't got chances like that. That's why he hasn't scored in runs.
05:16 But overall batting lineup, one is a match winner, outstanding performance, strike rate is great.
05:22 Second, they are putting an impact. I think that is the key for them at the moment. They are so successful.
05:29 It is. Mohit, Mr. Bhai said that everyone is scoring in batting.
05:35 Even Jadeja didn't get a chance but he has scored in runs.
05:39 But this is about batting, everyone is taking wickets in bowling from India.
05:44 The biggest advantage India got from this is that they got a new ball.
05:47 The way Bumrah started in this tournament and then Shami bowled with him, he is the top wicket taker.
05:54 I think, like I said about Shami, they are hitting with a seam.
06:00 The way the ball deviates after that, it is very difficult to play with all the batsmen.
06:05 Mostly the wickets they took, LBWs, balls, or court bants, it shows how good their bowling is.
06:14 I think they got a new ball.
06:17 Before we go to Shubh, like Mohit is talking about bowling, Indian bowlers have taken 95 wickets in this world cup.
06:25 Highest by any team.
06:27 Then averaging just over 20 per wicket. Best by any team.
06:31 Economy rate, best by any team. 23 made in overs, most by any team.
06:36 And bowlers have taken 4 times 5 wickets. Most by any team.
06:41 Fantastic bowling effort by India.
06:44 Sorry Mohit, you will continue or you are done?
06:47 Okay, so you got the data from there.
06:49 Shoaib, let me bring this to you. Historically, if we see, these two teams have come head to head 13 times in ODI cricket.
06:55 And the domination is Australia against India.
06:59 Australia have won out of the 13 matches 8 times and India 5 times.
07:04 But recently, things have been different. Including in this world cup, India defeated Australia.
07:08 It is coming on your screen right now.
07:10 India have beaten them here. Also, there was a bilateral series 2 months back.
07:14 India won that series 2-1 as well.
07:17 A lot of history that comes into play on this final.
07:20 Of course, and I always say that Australia is such a team that they perform the best when they are under pressure.
07:29 And they deal with pressure very well.
07:32 We saw in this world cup, they lost their first 2 matches.
07:36 But how they came back in the tournament, that too is unbeaten.
07:40 India has won all the matches but they are just a little behind.
07:46 It's just a matter of 2 matches.
07:48 Today's final is going to be at a venue where the ratio is not that high.
07:56 The team won 3 times in 2nd batting out of 4 games.
08:00 But it's a venue that can give equal chances to both teams.
08:06 Whether you lose the toss or win the toss.
08:09 The only problem that the Australian team is facing is that their conventional batters haven't been scoring runs.
08:20 That's a major issue for them.
08:22 Because of which I feel that they are a little behind the Indian team going into the finals.
08:28 So if somehow they come down, if they figure out how this can work, then they can give a tough time.
08:38 Otherwise, I don't see even a close game happening today.
08:42 Wasim, interestingly, you were sharing the bowling record in this world cup.
08:46 Before that, you were telling us about batting and that they have all been scoring runs.
08:49 Also, 6 consecutive games, India has not made a single change.
08:53 After the Hardik Pandya exit from this world cup, due to his injury,
08:58 after that they have not changed.
09:01 If they go into this game today without a change, then they set up a new record.
09:05 That's the first time in a world cup that a team has gone without a change for 7 consecutive games.
09:10 But that speaks volumes and actually the point that you've been making that this is not just planning of the last 2 months or 3 months.
09:17 This has been planned for quite some time.
09:20 And that is why you show that there is no need to change. We are okay. We know what we are doing.
09:24 You see, I don't want to criticize our part of the world, our people.
09:28 But let's talk about planning. Today is the World Cup final.
09:32 The biggest event in the cricket world, I think, worldwide.
09:36 And this was announced when? That on 19th November, the World Cup final will be held.
09:40 Long time ago? - Yeah. - And today is the Pakistan Cup final.
09:44 Domestic cricket. - Domestic cricket. - Our first-time cricketer.
09:47 So, you know, we are talking about planning. We can't plan that we don't have a final on the day of the World Cup final.
09:54 I mean, there can't be a comparison. But coming back to India,
09:59 all the work, all the experiences, and the experiments they had to do,
10:05 they have done all of that. Then they came to the Asia Cup.
10:08 Now, the boys sitting outside, their team, Ashwin, Ishan Kishan, Shardul,
10:14 all the players, they are all in the same place. If they get a place, they will be fit in the playing XI.
10:19 Absolutely. And they know exactly what will be their role, what they have to do, what not to do.
10:23 The main player of the playing XI got injured. But the new player's team got stronger.
10:30 Got stronger. Good point that Wasim brings. Today, the Pakistan Cup final is held.
10:36 Which is a domestic first-class game. Very, very important. And everybody wants to see it.
10:41 We wanted to see it as well. But because we have the World Cup final,
10:45 all the eyeballs are going to be towards the World Cup finals. Which means that many of us,
10:49 not just the ones here in the pavilion, but many cricketing fans in Pakistan,
10:54 who want to know what is coming up next in their international cricket world.
10:57 And all the channels, the cricketing pundits, everybody wants to see that.
11:01 They must be watching the World Cup final. They must be talking about it.
11:04 And instead of watching our first-class performance, they keep looking at which boys are in the future.
11:08 And they think we're going to miss out. So that's just a result of our poor planning.
11:11 We're going to take a break here in the pavilion. When we come back, we're getting closer to the action.
11:14 It is a big day at the ICC World Cup. Stay with us.
11:17 Welcome back to the pavilion. I'm Fakhar Khan. You're watching Sports10 Sports and the ARY Zapp app.
11:22 And it's the final day at the ICC World Cup. Today, we are going to be taking you to Ahmedabad,
11:26 where both the two teams, Australia and India, are preparing to face off for the final time.
11:33 At the end of the day, one will be crowned champion.
11:35 Before the break, we were talking about India. Their total dominance and invincibility.
11:40 And how they have covered every corner of the game. Every part, every angle.
11:45 But now let's talk about Australia. Mismal, let me start off with you.
11:48 Where do you see the gap? Because Australia, in the semifinal, seemed to have struggled a little against the spin.
11:54 In that period. It wasn't a very simple chase for them.
11:59 It looked very comparatively easy for India. Why? Because they were just supreme in every way.
12:06 But for Australia, it has been a topsy-turvy curve to come into the final.
12:11 And the last game showed there was a little bit of that gap in there.
12:15 And Labhushanke, is he really in the right form right now to be playing this final?
12:22 I think Malik has repeatedly said that Australia is heavily depending on the top three.
12:28 They are giving the momentum, they are doing the long runs.
12:32 Smith and Labhushanke are not contributing in that way.
12:36 Normally, these two come to India and perform well.
12:39 They come to the middle overs and not only play long innings, but they have kept them there because of the spin.
12:45 Labhushanke especially does reverse sweep, sweep, and he plays good slog sweep.
12:50 Then he does rotation, strike rotation.
12:53 They have been unable to do that in this World Cup.
12:58 Somehow, that is why there is pressure on the entire team of Australia.
13:02 If they don't get a start like that, then they are not getting long runs in the middle overs.
13:07 They are not getting the solid partnership that they need.
13:11 And they are not getting a long score either.
13:13 So I think Australia will be depending heavily on the top three.
13:17 It is being said repeatedly that Smith and Labhushanke will have to play innings.
13:23 If they get this game in the final, then somehow they are unable to do that.
13:30 Which is basically putting a lot of pressure on the top three.
13:33 So I think to play against India, quality bowlers, left arm spinners like Jadeja are struggling.
13:43 And even Maxwell, who plays the spin the best, his track record against left arm spinners is not as good as against grey or off spinner.
13:55 So I think this battle within the battle will happen.
13:59 And Australia will have to improve in today's match.
14:04 Because the middle 20 overs will be very important.
14:07 Kuldeep Yadav will come.
14:09 He has put them in a very difficult position in the last match.
14:12 Jadeja is a top class spinner.
14:14 If you get a little turn on the pitch, slow pitch,
14:19 Because of the natural variation, they come and hit the 96.
14:23 Close the stump, there is no chance.
14:26 Your ball stays straight, if it hits the pad, you will get a leg before.
14:29 There is a little spin, there is no long turn.
14:32 There are a lot of chances that they will fly off stump.
14:35 You have covered the stumps.
14:37 In small breaks, you just have to beat your bat and you get bored.
14:43 So this will be a challenge.
14:45 One thing is that Steve Smith and Manas Labhushain,
14:50 They are not such batters that against quality spin bowlers, they can put an over of 15 or 20.
14:58 I am talking about Labhushain.
15:00 Yes, and I am also talking about Steve Smith.
15:03 They are quality players, but they have been struggling throughout the World Cup.
15:07 Which is also hitting Australia a lot.
15:10 So when quality spinners come, they can't put an over of 15 or 20.
15:15 Like there is an Indian team, they are playing pace bowlers, spinners.
15:22 So from 1 to 6, 7, they can put an over of 15 or 20 against quality spinners.
15:30 But this is not happening in them.
15:32 So that's why they should feed one person.
15:36 Because we saw Manas, he struggled against left arm leg spinner Shamsi.
15:42 And Kuldeep has been in great form.
15:45 And he is also taking wickets.
15:47 And he is not understanding the ball coming in from outside.
15:50 He is not picking it with his hands.
15:52 So they should put an all-rounder.
15:54 Marcus Stonies or Cameron Green.
15:57 One of them should be there.
15:59 Instead of one of the batters.
16:01 I think Manas should be there.
16:04 I was saying Steve Smith, I was saying Will Smith.
16:07 Steve Smith should be there, no doubt.
16:13 Because he has played finals.
16:16 He has experience and it's a big match.
16:19 He will have to play fair less.
16:21 If India is playing cricket like this, Australia will have to play fair less.
16:26 And obviously Australia are quite famous for fair less cricket.
16:29 But this is World Cup final.
16:31 And till now, only once in World Cup final, they have scored 300.
16:34 Only once.
16:35 That too in Australia.
16:36 That too in Australia.
16:37 And secondly, they have only two players who play conventional cricket.
16:43 The rest of them will have to play fair less.
16:46 One of them will have to play fair less.
16:49 Because when one of them plays, he scores more than 150.
16:52 And if this happens, then you can win from India.
16:55 Otherwise, the type of cricket they are playing.
16:57 They are unstoppable.
16:58 There is no question.
16:59 Vasim, I bring this conversation to you.
17:02 They said that they should have a bowler to stop them.
17:06 Is it because, the semi-final against South Africa, they were behind Zampa.
17:12 Zampa was attacked.
17:13 They had overruns of 800, they had boundaries, they were 6th.
17:17 So they had to go for their other bowlers.
17:19 They had to go for their backup bowlers.
17:21 So maybe, Shoaib's idea is a good idea.
17:24 Maybe Australia should say, okay, we maybe go with another bowler in there.
17:28 Just in case, because India plays spin really well.
17:31 And they have the best average against spin in this World Cup.
17:33 They have an average of 113 in 10 matches.
17:36 1138 runs, run rate 5.86.
17:41 They have options.
17:42 Mitch Marsh has an option.
17:44 Maxwell has an option.
17:46 They divide the spin.
17:48 It's a World Cup final.
17:49 I'll play my proper batter.
17:51 Am I right?
17:53 That's what I would do.
17:54 The power hitting link is missing.
17:56 At least, Stoiness can do that.
17:58 If two or three are out, and you have to make innings, I don't think Stoiness can do it.
18:02 Green can do it.
18:03 That's the problem.
18:04 It's not about making innings.
18:06 The batter, the batter, at least he has a pick.
18:10 When he's not getting picked, and he's out of form, you don't understand.
18:14 Stoiness doesn't have a pick either.
18:16 If he comes in, he can change the line.
18:18 He's strong. He can clear the boundaries.
18:21 He can clear the missed hits.
18:23 He can clear all the dole chule.
18:25 Alright, with that, we're going to take a break here in the Pavilion.
18:28 When we come back, there's more on the other side.
18:30 Stay with us.
18:31 Welcome back to the Pavilion.
18:32 I'm Fakhr-e-Alam.
18:33 You're watching 10 Sports in the Air,
18:35 why Zapp App.
18:36 It's our final day here in the Pavilion.
18:38 As we're all set for the final, Australia vs India.
18:42 With me in the Pavilion, I've got Shoaib Malik, Miss Fahad Mohin Khan, and the great Wasim Akram.
18:46 Before the break, we were talking about the Australian team.
18:49 Maybe Labhushan might be out.
18:51 Keep him out and bring in somebody else.
18:53 Or go with a better batter.
18:55 Different opinions here.
18:57 Let's talk about the Australian bowling.
18:59 Initially, when it started, Zampa Wasim was not in form.
19:03 Not doing really well.
19:05 He was weakly criticized.
19:06 What a scot pick.
19:07 He's not even a spinner.
19:08 It's the World Cup in India.
19:09 And then he made a big comeback.
19:10 He did get a little, I mean, taken for a little in the semi-final.
19:15 However, the Australian fast bowlers have really, really picked up steam.
19:20 It's as if they have now gained momentum.
19:22 Especially Josh Hazlewood.
19:24 I mean, we talk about him quite a bit.
19:27 He's kind of an unsung hero.
19:29 We talk about him very little.
19:31 But he's the main weapon.
19:32 We go towards Mitchell Stark and we go towards Pat Cummings, the captain.
19:37 But this guy, Hazlewood, is just a lancy bowler early on with the new ball.
19:41 Any batter, no matter what technique he has, he can annoy him.
19:45 Back of a length, sometimes inside, sometimes outside.
19:47 And he's a tall guy and generates extra bounce.
19:49 And his record against Kohli is very strong in ODIs.
19:53 He made 51 runs.
19:55 Kohli has been out of the game 5 times.
19:57 He's only averaged 10.
19:58 So, as a bowler, you have a little confidence that I've outed this batter.
20:02 He's struggling with me.
20:03 So, I can put pressure on him in the knockout match, in the World Cup final.
20:09 That gives you extra confidence.
20:10 There's a reason for that, too.
20:12 Virat Kohli normally likes to drive.
20:15 And he doesn't give you the drive-like ball.
20:19 He's a good length bowler and he can generate extra bounce.
20:23 Especially, off the seam movement.
20:26 So, if a player is a through-the-line drive player, it's not easy.
20:31 It's a little difficult for him.
20:33 Yes, a bowler who plays good shots on the back foot, or a shot like this,
20:38 he can catch such a bowler.
20:42 But, he's a difficult bowler.
20:44 When we play, the ball is in front of you.
20:47 You can't go forward or back foot.
20:51 And there's always something off the seam.
20:54 A slight gain, or it comes in, or it comes out.
20:56 So, that's something which is very difficult for a quality player.
21:00 It's similar to Shami, the way he hits the deck or seam.
21:03 Not similar as a bowler.
21:04 When he hits the ball, it's on the seam.
21:07 And then, because of the height, you get extra bounce.
21:12 Shami doesn't get that much bounce.
21:15 That's why he's more threatening on the wickets.
21:18 Because, he's either leg before or he's bold.
21:21 You have to play the ball.
21:23 Shami has improved his left hand so much.
21:25 Every time he goes around the wicket.
21:28 Remember, he out-bent Ben Stokes.
21:32 He went like this, like this, like this.
21:34 And like this.
21:35 And with the same length.
21:36 Just outside of the stump.
21:37 Either inside or outside.
21:38 He's got 8 left-handers in the World Cup.
21:42 And does that mean, Maseem,
21:43 Averaging 4.
21:44 Averaging 4, that we might see him early on.
21:47 Because you've got Warner and Travis at both lefties.
21:51 In the last bag, we saw that New Zealand, Siraj,
21:54 They immediately brought Shami and both left-handers.
21:58 They'll probably start with the same bowling attack.
22:00 Bhumra and Siraj, they've been bowling really well.
22:02 And if nothing happens, then they'll bring back Shami.
22:05 I think they'll go with the same plan.
22:06 They panic too soon.
22:08 They don't panic too soon.
22:10 They play a match of 100 overs.
22:12 They say, "We're ready for the 100-over match."
22:14 If you look at it, Siraj is basically a swing bowler.
22:19 So, they give him a chance to swing.
22:22 This is the best chance to take a wicket.
22:24 Bhumra has the same thing.
22:26 He's got a seam, but he swings more.
22:28 Early on, you can see the ball going in a certain direction.
22:32 And then, if it's not happening,
22:35 Then Shami comes in.
22:37 He brings in the seam, and if he gets an off-the-seam moment,
22:40 He takes a wicket.
22:41 So, they've covered the whole basis.
22:43 Well, bowlers would be very interested, like the batters,
22:46 To see how the pitch is laid out today.
22:48 So, let's see how the pitch is laid out.
22:52 And here's the pitch report, brought to you by Colgate.
22:54 What say you, Wasim?
22:56 Moisture, roughness, darkness.
23:00 It's Odisha soil, black soil.
23:04 And it looks very dry.
23:06 It looks too coloured, it looks dry.
23:08 You can tell by the feel, but if you look at it,
23:10 You see these two colours, brown and dark, black.
23:14 So, that shows that it's dry, instead of moist.
23:18 He's wearing a batman outfit.
23:20 Huh?
23:21 He's wearing a batman outfit.
23:23 That's strange.
23:24 That's your imagination.
23:26 It's very tricky.
23:28 It is very tricky.
23:30 It's going to be an easy decision for the batsmen.
23:32 Because they'll know whether they want to chase this pitch,
23:36 Or bat first.
23:37 India has no option.
23:38 India will chase this pitch with clarity.
23:41 And like Nasir Hussain said,
23:44 In the World Cup Finals, teams tend to bat first.
23:46 But maybe, it's a different mindset on today's game.
23:50 Not with India.
23:51 Yeah.
23:52 Because all three departments, delivering consistently.
23:55 So, if India wins the toss, do you think they'll bowl?
23:57 They'll bowl, for sure.
23:58 They'll bowl first.
23:59 What do you think, Niswar?
24:00 They'll bowl first.
24:01 Your gut feeling?
24:02 I think, like in the last match, Pakistan has also played.
24:05 I think, spinners, even reverse swing,
24:08 Old ball, we saw, after 30 overs, it was very difficult.
24:13 It seems like that.
24:16 Clearly, they'll be in favour if they bowl first.
24:20 One more thing.
24:21 So far, there have been four World Cup matches.
24:23 Out of those, three matches, the team that wins, wins by chasing.
24:27 There's another reason.
24:28 There's a due factor.
24:29 Waseem, here's my question, Skip.
24:32 It is a final, and what Nasir said,
24:35 you know, the final, if you bat first and you put 260-270,
24:40 that puts a lot of pressure.
24:41 And every score in this World Cup has been on this pitch, 251.
24:44 Right, there you go.
24:45 There you go.
24:46 There's one more thing.
24:47 The match between Pakistan and India,
24:50 it's been almost a month.
24:52 It's been a long time.
24:53 At that time, the due factor was coming in very late.
24:57 It was hot.
24:58 Now, it's a little better.
25:03 And now, the due will come in early.
25:04 But my question is, Mohin, have you seen any game
25:08 that has been adversely affected by due so far?
25:11 Because we keep talking about due factor throughout the World Cup.
25:14 But have you seen any game where you say,
25:16 "It's a big difference. Due has made a mess."
25:18 It has definitely been an effect.
25:19 But if you remember that match, the one in Delhi,
25:22 the first match between Sri Lanka and South Africa.
25:25 And while chasing, Sri Lanka scored 300+.
25:28 Due came in a lot there.
25:30 It was an effect.
25:31 You could see the ball coming on the bat easily.
25:33 Otherwise, in any match…
25:34 Other than that, maybe one or two games…
25:37 Australia has won the last match against England here, 286.
25:41 So, if you want to bat first, you want to score somewhere around 300.
25:46 So that you can give yourself a chance.
25:49 In the semi-final, they told us, "Bat first, score 300, you win the match."
25:53 The score was around 212.
25:55 See, due factor is helping you then.
25:58 We saw it in the World Cup.
26:00 If you're playing a match around 280, 290, 270.
26:06 But as soon as the match goes to 350, then it's a one-sided deal.
26:11 Alright, folks. We're going to take another break here.
26:13 When we come back, there's more on the other side.
26:15 Please stay with us.
26:16 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
26:18 And you are watching A Sports Ten Sports with the AYZ AB AB.
26:22 This is the last day. It's the big final here at the ICC World Cup.
26:25 With me in The Pavilion, I've got four fantastic gentlemen.
26:28 Shoaib Malik, Misbahul Haq, Mohin Khan and the great Wasim Akram.
26:31 Wasim, we've got some very interesting shots.
26:34 Some images.
26:35 We're going to present them to you.
26:36 These images are coming to us directly from Ahmedabad.
26:39 Please note them.
26:41 Shoaib, what do you reckon? What is that?
26:43 What does that look like?
26:44 It looks like there's no blue color.
26:47 It's a sea of blue.
26:48 It's a sea of blue.
26:49 And why not? It's in their country.
26:51 Their team is in the final.
26:53 India is the favorite.
26:54 And whatever support and love they're getting, they deserve it, I suppose.
26:58 Look at this. Look at this.
27:00 This is why the final was held here, right, Wasim?
27:02 So that a lot of people can be accommodated.
27:05 There are more than one lakh people here.
27:07 I think 120,000. Just over 120,000.
27:10 Look at this. People are waiting in queues.
27:12 Beautiful pictures coming out for Ahmedabad for this 2023 World Cup final.
27:18 And the deserving teams have qualified, man.
27:20 Absolutely. Fantastic image.
27:23 Now, Shahid Hashmi is there and he's spoken to some fans.
27:27 Let's take a look.
27:29 I'm a big fan of Wasim.
27:31 And I'm going to live here in Ahmedabad.
27:34 I watch a lot of his matches.
27:38 And I follow and support AR Sports.
27:43 And our relationship with India and Pakistan is good.
27:47 I pray for that.
27:48 Believe me, AR Sports' show is the most fabulous show.
27:51 Most unbiased show.
27:53 Congratulations to Wasim, Shoaib, Mohin, Mizba and Shahid for doing a wonderful journalist reporting in India.
28:01 This message is from me, from the entire India, from the A Sports team.
28:06 The work you have done in the World Cup, starting from all the legends.
28:10 Wasim Akram, Mohin Khan, Mizba Ulhaq, Shoaib Malik and not to forget, a fabulous host in Pagra Alam.
28:16 The way you have spread positivity, the analysis you have given, spot on analysis.
28:22 And that's what we crave for as general cricket fans and media persons as well.
28:27 And a big congratulations to your team from all over India, from all the cricketing media fraternities.
28:36 And of course, Shahid bhai who came to our country, the rest of the Pakistani journalists who came to our country.
28:42 I hope they enjoyed our hospitality, Shahid sir.
28:46 Though of course he has done some fabulous job.
28:48 The interview with Sourav Ganguly is a blockbuster.
28:51 The way he has given his thoughts on cricket and of course,
28:54 I would also say that Mohin Khan should dye his hair.
28:58 He would look more handsome in that way.
29:01 But a fabulous job done in the studio, led by Pagra Alam, Wasim Akram, Shoaib Malik, Mizba Ulhaq and Mohin Khan.
29:08 And on the field by Shahid Hashmi sir.
29:11 Congratulations and keep doing what you guys are doing. Thank you.
29:14 Thank you so much, Shahid Hashmi sir.
29:16 I have learnt one thing from you.
29:18 Get your hair dyed.
29:20 Actually, this is not possible.
29:23 Our pavilion should be silver-colored.
29:28 There is no time.
29:30 MashaAllah, five of us are in ghee.
29:32 And there is no time.
29:34 Wasim bhai, you are more great than me.
29:38 I am just kidding.
29:41 You have to look your age, I suppose.
29:44 I know that people of my age have black hair.
29:47 I would give them one advice.
29:49 Get your hair dyed black.
29:51 Not black and black.
29:53 Who are you talking to?
29:55 My age.
29:57 We are almost equal.
29:59 We are talking about the color.
30:02 I am talking about people of my age.
30:04 We are of the same age.
30:06 I am talking about people of my age.
30:08 Thank you so much, Shahid Hashmi sir.
30:10 Your coverage has been wonderful.
30:12 We really appreciate it.
30:14 You have done a great job, Shahid Hashmi.
30:16 Thank you to all the fans in India and around the world.
30:19 We keep receiving your messages and your comments.
30:22 We truly appreciate that.
30:24 Coming back to the venue.
30:26 We have seen the pitch and the venue.
30:28 There are so many people in the venue.
30:30 The blue force.
30:32 Remember after seeing these beautiful pictures from India and Ahmedabad.
30:35 The sea of blue walking in and supporting their team.
30:37 Pat Cummings said yesterday.
30:39 I think it was in a press conference.
30:41 I heard or read that their job is to keep the stadium quiet tomorrow.
30:46 Wow.
30:47 That was the last word.
30:49 That meant that if we do well, the support will be less.
30:53 They will be a bit quiet.
30:55 That's the job.
30:57 Australian team job.
30:59 That's what the skipper said.
31:01 They are mentally very tough, the Aussies.
31:03 They are used by these things.
31:05 There are 100,000 people sitting in the stands.
31:07 I think they have confidence in their preparation.
31:10 As an individual, they are very confident.
31:13 And that matters.
31:15 They make their own decisions.
31:17 They don't get bowed down by any unnecessary pressure around them.
31:20 And probably this pressure, Australian culture, Australian team, cricket especially.
31:26 They thrive.
31:27 They come out positive.
31:29 They look for these sort of situations.
31:31 That's why they have won the World Cup five times.
31:33 The last match against South Africa.
31:36 At one stage, it felt like the game would either go this way or that way.
31:42 So they showed the dressing rooms and the players and the supporting staff.
31:47 You could tell easily who was under a lot of pressure and who was just sitting there.
31:54 We already dealt with these kind of situations.
31:57 Often it's okay.
31:59 But the Australian dressing room was like that, as Wasim Bhai said.
32:03 And this team, like the Indian team is playing throughout the World Cup.
32:09 Australia is the only team that can compete against them at this time.
32:15 Mohin, in the last 10 years, all four ICC finals in which India has played, all four have lost.
32:22 And I'll quickly take you through.
32:24 T20 World Cup 2014 against Sri Lanka, 2017 Champions Trophy against Pakistan,
32:30 2021 Test Championship against New Zealand, and then again the Test Championship against Australia in 2023.
32:37 Does that play up on the minds of the players that we are undefeated but we are in the finals and we are going to get stuck?
32:44 There is a pressure of the finals.
32:46 Some people say there is no pressure.
32:48 But how you take it, this is the thing.
32:50 The players who are playing in the zone, all the players, I think they are very positive.
32:55 Every base is covered.
32:57 But the pitch we saw just now, looking at this pitch, I feel India should put another spinner here.
33:02 Because the Australian batsmen have struggled.
33:06 They have struggled before too.
33:07 We saw it in the first match.
33:08 They got out on 1-1.
33:09 Won't the combination of the other team be ruined?
33:11 If they put a spinner, who will they put?
33:16 Will they put Sarraj or Shahi?
33:19 I don't think they have changed anything in the last 7 matches.
33:22 I don't think so.
33:23 If you look at the pitch.
33:24 That's Mohin's opinion.
33:25 Mohin is saying that the pitch that we see, maybe they can reduce one seamer and take in a spinner.
33:31 But we know most likely, your opinion is respected here, Mohin, completely.
33:36 I am just saying that it doesn't seem like they have a mood to change anything.
33:40 Normally, this is what happens.
33:42 The team that is coming, you carry on with it.
33:45 We have won 6 matches. Maybe this is going to be the 7th match for them.
33:49 But if there is a demand, if there is a requirement, if we can see it,
33:54 if we have seen the pitch on TV, it seems like the grass is scattered.
33:59 You can't see a firm layer of grass on top.
34:03 So, when the dew comes, I feel the game will turn.
34:08 Because when the moisture is found in the sand, it becomes a little sticky.
34:14 And grips the ball.
34:15 So, here, most probably, I feel that a spinner should be added to the team.
34:19 Whether you are bowling first or bowling second, it will help Indians.
34:23 I think because of Hardik Pandya's injury, the luxury India had, they can't do that now.
34:30 Otherwise, they could have definitely thought about that.
34:35 Especially, the two left-handers who are up against Ashwin.
34:39 They are very effective bowlers.
34:44 But to keep that balance, it is very difficult for India.
34:49 Because if the first bowling comes, then reverse swing is another factor.
34:54 We have seen in the Pakistan match, after 25-30 overs, you need fast bowlers as well.
35:00 Because the ball, in that match, there was a good reverse swing.
35:04 So, I don't think that they will think of adding a spinner and a fast bowler.
35:10 On the reverse swing, the conventional cricket batters can still deal with it.
35:19 But the hard hitters, the power hitters, against the reverse swing, they struggle.
35:24 And the Australian players, the conventional players, struggle.
35:28 With that, we are going to take another break here on The Pavilion.
35:30 When we come back, there is more on the other side. Stay with us.
35:33 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
35:34 I am Fakhran and you are watching Sports and Sports in the AYZ app.
35:36 And it's the day of reckoning.
35:39 It is the day when a new champion will be decided.
35:42 India and Australia are all set to go head-to-head in just under an hour.
35:47 Well, just over an hour, rather. My apologies for that.
35:49 Let's talk about the batting on the Indian side.
35:53 We have talked about it earlier as well.
35:54 How much more do we have to talk about it?
35:56 What else do we have to talk about?
35:57 What else do we have to talk about?
35:58 Let's talk about something else.
35:59 You tell me, what else should we talk about?
36:01 Today's weather, menu, night's menu, there are many important things.
36:07 I am just kidding. Please.
36:09 What will we do after today?
36:11 What will we do after today?
36:13 We will do karokadi.
36:15 Virat Kohli has played 8 ODI finals.
36:20 Never scored a half century in any of them.
36:23 Scored 154 runs in these 8 innings at an average of 22.
36:29 He didn't even do that in the semi-finals.
36:31 He was 16.
36:32 We were saying the same thing in the last match.
36:34 We are talking about the finals, not the semis.
36:37 He didn't even do that in the semi-finals.
36:40 So, today might be the day.
36:42 Yeah, you never know.
36:43 We have got Mitchell Stark with us. Let's listen in.
36:46 Alright, there you have it.
36:48 You wanted to ask a few questions.
36:50 Yeah, I wanted to ask my panelists a question.
36:52 World Cup final is the ultimate for any cricketer.
36:56 Any young guy who wants to represent their country.
36:59 When he plays for his country, he wants to play in the World Cup.
37:03 When he plays for the World Cup, when his team reaches the finals,
37:06 that's right up there.
37:08 So, tell me, I will start off with Mohin.
37:10 Tell me your experience, the night before the World Cup final.
37:13 You have played two matches.
37:15 In 1992, when we played the Australian match,
37:20 the whole team was convinced that we would win.
37:22 In Perth?
37:23 Yes, in Perth. Because playing against Australia in their home condition,
37:27 and defeating them there,
37:29 that built up confidence in the team.
37:31 That was the leadership of Imran Bhai,
37:33 because of which we started to feel that no one can defeat us.
37:39 But even then, when we didn't reach the semi-finals,
37:42 we were waiting for the West Indies and Australia match,
37:45 we were waiting for Australia to win and reach.
37:48 So, we had a feeling that no one could defeat us.
37:51 Even before the World Cup finals,
37:53 we had this extra confidence.
37:57 Do you remember what you did at night?
37:59 Who was your roommate? Do you remember anything?
38:01 Yeah, Mushtaq was my roommate.
38:03 And we were just talking.
38:05 Sorry.
38:06 What were you talking about?
38:08 Should I tell you?
38:10 You are very interested in this.
38:12 You should say it like this.
38:14 You should say it like you.
38:16 Then we wouldn't have won the World Cup final.
38:18 Sorry, I was with Inzy.
38:20 Are you sure?
38:22 Check it again.
38:24 It's been a long time.
38:26 So, what did you guys do the night before?
38:28 We had told you in the semi-finals that we had taken sleeping pills.
38:31 And Inzy was not feeling well.
38:33 But in the final, no one gave us any rest.
38:35 We slept late because it was a day-night match.
38:38 We slept peacefully and we were feeling sleepy.
38:40 But we were thinking that we have to win the match.
38:42 And we were talking about the match.
38:44 Who was your roommate?
38:46 I think mine was Ijaz.
38:48 Ijaz.
38:49 Are you sure?
38:50 No, no.
38:51 What did you guys talk about?
38:53 We hardly spoke to each other.
38:55 We were planning what to do after winning the World Cup final.
38:58 Yeah, we did.
38:59 But unfortunately, the game finished at 12.
39:01 Celebrations got over.
39:03 We reached the hotel at 2.30 pm.
39:05 And the whole Melbourne was closed.
39:07 But I will tell you about the 99 final.
39:10 The 99 final that we played.
39:12 I remember that till 1 or 2 in the night,
39:14 people were coming to the hotel.
39:16 We were staying in the Royal Garden.
39:18 And the door was constantly ringing.
39:20 And the door was constantly ringing.
39:22 And the door was constantly ringing.
39:24 And the door was constantly ringing.
39:26 And there was no security in the hotels.
39:28 And there was only one demand.
39:30 We need the ticket for tomorrow's match.
39:32 That pressure was amazing.
39:34 You know Mitchell Sarkar said,
39:36 "Dodging the 10,000 people in the lobby of the hotel."
39:38 Yeah, I wrote that.
39:40 That can happen in India and Pakistan.
39:42 The love of the game is so much.
39:44 They just want to get a glimpse of the heroes.
39:46 Either the Australian, Indians or Pakistanis.
39:48 So that's a good thing.
39:50 I remember the 1987 World Cup.
39:52 Which was my first World Cup in Pakistan.
39:54 We used to stay at the hotel in Karachi.
39:56 Where you guys are staying now.
39:58 Yeah.
40:00 So we used to come down in the lobby.
40:02 And there used to be kids, families.
40:04 Like, I am talking about hundreds and hundreds.
40:06 Yes.
40:08 You stay in Pindy PC.
40:10 It was incredible.
40:12 I think India is going and the Indian team is going for the same thing.
40:14 Yeah.
40:16 There were two things.
40:18 Champions Trophy 2017 and 2009 World T20.
40:20 In both of them.
40:22 In 2007 World T20 in South Africa.
40:24 We used to be together.
40:26 Mostly.
40:28 And in the 2009 World T20.
40:30 We used to win.
40:32 In that we were all scattered.
40:34 We didn't meet each other.
40:36 We were in England.
40:38 You get distracted.
40:40 You have so many friends.
40:42 So many people.
40:44 And everybody in June, July is in England.
40:46 But in the 2017 Champions Trophy.
40:48 We were all together.
40:50 So we both won.
40:52 We won the 2009 World T20 in England.
40:54 Where we were all scattered.
40:56 It worked.
40:58 It worked.
41:00 So I guess this is a time.
41:02 Like we are sitting here today.
41:04 And discussing that.
41:06 Recalling that.
41:08 Great memories.
41:10 Yeah.
41:12 And with that we are going to take another break.
41:14 And when we come back.
41:16 We are getting very close to the action.
41:18 Welcome back to the Pavilion.
41:20 It's the finals.
41:22 At the 2023 World Cup.
41:24 How important are strike rates.
41:26 For any betting side.
41:28 Because we talk about averages.
41:30 But strike rates.
41:32 In a tournament like this.
41:34 How valuable will strike rates be?
41:36 Both teams.
41:38 If we talk about Australia.
41:40 And India.
41:42 Especially the top order batsmen.
41:44 Their first power play.
41:46 If we talk about it.
41:48 Both teams have top strike rates.
41:50 That's why they are playing the finals.
41:52 So it matters a lot.
41:54 Because early on if you under pressure.
41:56 And then you continue to dominate.
41:58 Throughout the inning.
42:00 And in the middle.
42:02 With the old ball.
42:04 He gets at least time.
42:06 To settle down.
42:08 And then rebuild.
42:10 It's very important for him.
42:12 To have such batsmen.
42:14 Who can set a good base.
42:16 Rohit Sharma.
42:18 Throughout the tournament.
42:20 We saw that early.
42:22 In the first 4 overs.
42:24 He sets a base.
42:26 That India.
42:28 Can pitch at 300+ as they want.
42:30 Similarly David Warner.
42:32 And we saw that since Travis Head.
42:34 Has come back to the team.
42:36 He has created such an impact.
42:38 In the last match.
42:40 It was a difficult pitch.
42:42 It was a difficult pitch.
42:44 But the way Warner and Travis Head.
42:46 Started from the top.
42:48 Their strike rates.
42:50 Helped Australia.
42:52 To chase.
42:54 That's the key.
42:56 The team that has such batsmen.
42:58 Can play at 300+.
43:00 They are dominating.
43:02 It's clear evidence.
43:04 And those 2 teams.
43:06 Who have come to the top.
43:08 Who had the highest.
43:10 Opening partnerships.
43:12 So opening partnership matters.
43:14 I suppose Australia.
43:16 With 605 runs.
43:18 And India with 603.
43:20 There is a difference of 2 runs.
43:22 In the games.
43:24 The players in both the teams.
43:26 You get chances in long cricket.
43:28 You transform yourself.
43:30 Sometimes you play like ODI.
43:32 Sometimes like T20.
43:34 That also counts.
43:36 I was more nervous than Warner.
43:54 He was in tension.
43:56 He was asking.
43:58 He was nervous.
44:00 I was nervous.
44:02 I think David is.
44:04 Too noisy.
44:06 He didn't hear the talk back.
44:08 He was waiting for it to happen.
44:10 What a pocket rocket.
44:12 This boy is David Warner.
44:14 They spoke about the fielding.
44:16 In the previous game.
44:18 They saved about 20 runs.
44:20 That's the way we do our fielding.
44:22 When we practice.
44:24 We do it with these balls.
44:26 We will stop the ball.
44:28 But we will stop the practice.
44:30 And bowlers and fielders.
44:32 Have a harmony.
44:34 Bowlers start off the pressure.
44:36 And we follow the lead.
44:38 Just like us.
44:40 Just like us.
44:42 Semifinals.
44:44 And finals.
44:46 These are the matches.
44:48 You don't need much skill.
44:50 You need it.
44:52 You need to.
44:54 Deal with the pressure.
44:56 And these kind of stages.
44:58 Is like.
45:00 Biggest opportunities.
45:02 To become a superstar.
45:04 And do something exceptional.
45:06 For your country.
45:08 And be remembered.
45:10 For the rest of your life.
45:12 This is the final.
45:14 Mohit said India should consider.
45:16 Putting in another spinner.
45:18 We have heard.
45:20 That they will play this match.
45:22 But interesting footage.
45:24 We have picked up from Ahmedabad.
45:26 The team is huddled.
45:28 Look who is talking there.
45:30 It is Ashwin who has the ball.
45:32 And it is him who is briefing the boys.
45:34 Does this indicate.
45:36 That he might be coming into the team.
45:38 This indicates.
45:40 That the ones on the bench.
45:42 How much involvement.
45:44 They are very important.
45:46 You have brought a long stick.
45:48 No.
45:50 We will know.
45:52 If you have played for 5 minutes.
45:54 I am telling you.
45:56 The ICC feed.
45:58 The commentators have said.
46:00 That they have not confirmed.
46:02 Whether Siraj is playing.
46:04 Or Ashwin is playing.
46:06 The Indian team knows.
46:08 What 11 is playing.
46:10 Why would they tell the commentators.
46:12 They know what they are doing.
46:14 Ashwin is talking.
46:16 Like Shoaib said.
46:18 The extra boys are responsible.
46:20 They are also a part of the team.
46:22 If they are not part of the team.
46:24 And dropping one of the fast bowlers.
46:26 And playing extra spinner.
46:28 On this pitch.
46:30 Might be helpful.
46:32 But your team's combination.
46:34 Will be ruined.
46:36 You need 3 fast bowlers.
46:38 There is a funny answer.
46:40 If I am giving you the final.
46:42 This is a very far fetched.
46:44 Which is a very low level.
46:46 That you cannot be confident.
46:48 He is a senior speaker.
46:50 He has played 100+ matches.
46:52 He knows he is a team man.
46:54 For his country.
46:56 We have got one of the main.
46:58 Striking force of team India.
47:00 Boomra with us.
47:02 So far all the interviews.
47:04 That we have seen.
47:06 All the boys look very confident.
47:08 Both on the Australian side.
47:10 He said we are sticking to our strength.
47:12 Which we have been doing.
47:14 Since the last month.
47:16 We stay in the present.
47:18 We don't think ifs and buts.
47:20 We are supporting each other.
47:22 And most importantly.
47:24 We are enjoying each other's company.
47:26 Like we are doing here.
47:28 We are going to take a break.
47:30 When we come back.
47:32 We are closer to the toss.
47:34 Stay with us.
47:36 Welcome back to the pavilion.
47:38 This is Australia.
47:40 The big day.
47:42 We will find out who is the champion.
47:44 The best thing that has happened.
47:46 Is that we got new jackets.
47:48 Finally.
47:50 Budget release.
47:52 President of A sports.
47:54 Thank you.
47:56 It's a good thing.
47:58 It's all because of you.
48:00 At least one jacket.
48:02 We can take home.
48:04 You are wrong.
48:06 We will take it home.
48:08 We didn't get extra device.
48:10 There was a problem in the back room.
48:12 Throughout the transmission.
48:14 You don't want me to say anything.
48:16 On television.
48:18 Ask Sadri from A sports.
48:20 The president of A sports.
48:22 Mr. Vizy Makram.
48:24 I have so much to say.
48:26 Right now.
48:28 On the way back to your place.
48:30 Yup.
48:32 In the break.
48:34 We were talking about Ashwin.
48:36 Can we talk about it?
48:38 You can talk about it later.
48:40 I know you will toss it.
48:42 You can talk about it later.
48:44 Ashwin has seen the pitch.
48:46 The opposition has left handed batsmen.
48:48 New ball can be dangerous.
48:50 Both are openers.
48:52 Yes.
48:54 And the same logic.
48:56 The way I have seen the pitch.
48:58 Whether you are bowling first or second.
49:00 You have to be careful.
49:02 Whether you are bowling first or second.
49:04 It will be a big help for India.
49:06 It is possible that.
49:08 They are depending on both the openers.
49:10 When they come out successful.
49:12 Then they are giving them.
49:14 The right platform.
49:16 For the rest of the batters.
49:18 To come and play their games.
49:20 The Australian top order.
49:22 They have done the runs.
49:24 Even if you see the centuries.
49:26 They have done it.
49:28 Good match up.
49:30 I am telling you.
49:32 What did he say?
49:34 I am telling you.
49:36 Ashwin is a good bowler.
49:38 He is saying it from the start.
49:40 I am telling you.
49:42 He is sitting with me.
49:44 He can't come.
49:46 The combination will be bad.
49:48 The water is unfit.
49:50 Swing of the ball.
49:52 It will be a matter of time.
49:54 When you took the last break.
49:56 I was telling you.
49:58 It will be a big performance.
50:00 Today the coin fell on the carpet.
50:18 Rohit Sharma lost the toss.
50:20 I think it was the cold.
50:22 Today they will say.
50:24 When the coin fell on the carpet.
50:26 You saw the toss.
50:28 I know.
50:30 You can't make them happy.
50:32 I hope the people.
50:34 Who tag us on social media.
50:36 And see the coin.
50:38 And see the coin.
50:40 It is the final.
50:42 The toss is lost.
50:44 You have to be more responsible.
50:46 When you come up with these.
50:48 Strange conspiracy theories.
50:50 It is the international game of cricket.
50:52 Is it a good toss to lose?
50:54 I think the captain said.
50:56 He would have batted anyway.
50:58 It was a good toss to lose for them.
51:00 Maybe the captain.
51:02 Sent a message to the dressing room.
51:04 Don't think about the toss.
51:06 He said we will bat first.
51:08 It is not in our control.
51:10 He said it is planned.
51:12 We will bat first.
51:14 He said the final.
51:16 The knockout match.
51:18 140,000 people watching.
51:20 The runs on the board matters.
51:22 They are playing with the same team.
51:24 Rohit, Gill, Kohli.
51:26 Suriya, Rahul.
51:28 Suriya Kumar.
51:30 I think.
51:32 Expectations.
51:34 Jadeja on this pitch.
51:36 Very important.
51:38 And then Bumrah, Kuldeep, Shammi.
51:40 Shammi also.
51:42 Keeping in mind.
51:44 Left handers are at the top.
51:46 In whatever form.
51:48 It will be the key.
51:50 Australia team.
51:52 Next.
51:54 Same side.
51:56 Nick Travershead.
51:58 David Warner.
52:00 Mitch Marsh.
52:02 Smith and Labushehan.
52:04 Depends on them.
52:06 Maxwell.
52:08 English.
52:10 At number 6.
52:12 And then 7.
52:14 And then the 4 bowlers.
52:16 Stark and Hazlewood.
52:18 Looks good.
52:20 Consistent side.
52:22 Same side.
52:24 Two playing 11s.
52:26 Australia won the toss.
52:28 Elected to bowl.
52:30 We will take a break.
52:32 Stay with us.

53:08 India is 60% favourite.
53:10 I will give 40% to Australia.
53:12 But.
53:14 I have to go home.
53:16 Australia is like your in-laws.
53:18 You are going home.
53:20 In-laws.
53:22 S-U-S-R-A-L.
53:24 India.
53:26 India.
53:28 And Shoaib.
53:30 I want the World Cup to stay in the subcontinent.
53:32 But as an expert.
53:34 I think Australia.
53:36 Wow.
53:38 We have two India and two Australia experts.
53:40 They say me.
53:42 They have.
53:44 Basically.
53:46 Both of them.
53:48 Half here and half there.
53:50 I don't see any difference.
53:52 What a dialogue.
53:54 Say it again.
53:56 Cut it.
53:58 Say it now.
54:00 I don't see any difference.
54:02 But the problem is.
54:04 We don't see the difference in one thing.
54:06 If you say 100.
54:08 You don't see the difference.
54:10 I am not your expert.
54:12 And it's time for.
54:14 The player to watch out for.
54:16 Brought to you by U4.
54:18 Shoaib Malik.

54:30 KL Rahul.
54:32 KL Rahul.
54:34 Okay.
54:36 Shubman Gill.
