I dont give any fcks about pitch condition, both teams have to bat on the same one , remember what happened on the slow turner in a t20 wc game of nz vs ind, nz just needs to unleash its biggest log hop weapon-sodhi :clap:

This is the only T20 on a rank turner I recall

I know. You'd think they would have learned after 2015 and 2019 semi finals. Or the last two WTC finals. Or the 2014 T20 WC final. Or even after watching England in the most recent Ashes. Hubris is never a good look and it invites failure.

That's why Aus wins things so often. You never see hubris from Australian players or supporters. Always humble winners. It's important, and something the new monied trash of cricket should take note of.
That is pretty big talk from a guy whose country has lost 4 consecutive Test series to India.
Our C team beat you guys at Gabba 😂

England drew the ashes from behind. Aus were saved by rain in the 4th match.

Ind has won 4 consecutive series against Aus. Never mind "WTC" which didn't exist until a few years ago.

I mean, sunilz, I love* your passion and all, and it’s not for me to be giving you a geography lesson about the neutrality of the WTC final pitch, but…

I don’t especially see that deck as being a home or away pitch for either team there

Neutral pitch means a pitch that favours both fast and spin bowling equally.
Not a pitch that is located in England. But I feel you are deliberately playing dumb .

I get that it was more alien to India than nz, but people really need to stop conflating nz and English conditions.

You need to bowl a lot fuller in nz for example (see English struggles here in past 10 years), and pitches tend to get better and better for batting. England also supports more spin.
