Finally, the Final!

For the fifth consecutive time there is a team from the subcontinent in the World Cup final. For the fourth consecutive time their opponent is Australia.

Fittingly enough, Australia's opponents now are the only team to have beaten them in a WC final, other than the West Indies in 1975, and the only team, moreover, who appear even remotely likely at this stage to be capable of doing so.

Predictions are not easy (as I should know) and more so with a final. This time I am not going to make them. All I ask for is a better match than either semi final.
