ICC World T20 Super 10 preview - India's to lose, but that could happen

>India have invited the world to their party, but with 10 victories from their last 11 games, it is their own fault if the guests are feeling a little intimidated. To say that MS Dhoni's men have sounded a warning would be underselling it. Having whitewashed Australia down under, then strutted their way to the Asian crown, they have basically asked the world: "Is there even a point in any of you turning up?" Let us at least pause and admire the corporate synergy here: the BCCI's handling of ticket sales has effectively asked fans that exact question.

India made a great turnover though. With loses to Bangladesh, South Africa, and Australia in the 50 over format and also performed badly in their T20s against the SA. The T20 series against the Aussies turned out to be the turning point. After that, India only experienced victories with just one anomaly in between.
India is the favorites this year and it is their game to lose. Can't wait for tomorrow

The pressure will no doubt be on India, and that could have a negative effect, but as you say, looking at the teams going into it I also believe it's ibdias to lose at the moment.

Favourites don't always win as we all know of course, but I'd be surprised if they didn't win this time though in all honesty.

This is a damning stat that India should take note of for Game 1 

India v New Zealand at Nagpur on Mar 15

• [li] New Zealand have played only one T20I in India - they won it by one run in Chennai in 2012[/li]
  

• [li] It appears India's bogey team in T20Is is New Zealand - four matches, four losses. [/li]
  

Pandit Goog Lee may have to perform a Pooja

Kali Ma  can defeat that bogey man    ::LOL::

I'm not usually one to take much notice of statistics like that, records have to be broken sometime. Now it it's 0-5 for India against New Zealand though, so maybe the record got into the minds of the India players?

Well, they could try and use that as the excuse anyway, I suppose.
