India made it close when I didn't think they would even hit 150. Excellent statement game from Jadeja as I think he should be a regular in the ODI side for India.
Don't think overconfidence was an issue for the Indian batsmen, NZ just bowled brilliantly and India is one of the weakest sides when it comes to facing left arm seamers in English/Aus/NZ/SA conditions and Boult is one of the best at it. Another reason I don't think overconfidence was an issue was that a bowler like Santner was bowling at an economy rate of 1 through his first 6 overs.
Since my team is out, I am on the NZ bandwagon to win it all.
