What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before the first ball.
If Yashasvi Jaiswal is left out
We would trim India by around five points, turning this into a strong lean.
If the pitch looks drier or greener than expected at the toss
More help for the bowlers would narrow the gap between the two batting line-ups.
If rain shortens the match
Fewer overs mean more randomness, which helps the underdog.
