Bowl first. That's all India need to do to win.
So, it's all about winning toss?
No, it's all about India being to chase down most targets.
For India openers need to stick around. If they give any opening to Anderson, he will be all over them. Sharma and Dhawan sticks around for 20 overs or more, India will win. Otherwise Englishmen would be pouring the champaign. Toss does not matter as much as the opening stand does.
It's finals, every player would like to perform 110% and get notice. Expect the unexpected. Not always best team wins the competition.
India's 1-3 have done well leaving little practice for 4-6.
If Jimmy can get a couple of wickets quickly, middle order will be tested.
Cold and windy today. Indians have struggled in these unfamiliar conditions in the past. Odds in England's favor?
Advantage England for now, bowling first.
England has been waiting for 38 years to win an ODI world championship!

"It sounds like we will get a game today and it won't be reduced too much. Let's hope so. It's been a good tournament and there is the potential for a terrific final."
20/20 is not good news for England; is it?
