This is true not only fo r20-20 but in general. India might have have world class batsman but they are not able to play under pressure hence india have most of the time won a match while batting first. The weak indian bowling is able to win matches for us if the batsman put up a fighting total on board. Indian fielding is also better when india is defending the total especially if they get a early breakthorugh. ITS not the same case if india is fielding first. Th efielding is lathargic even if india get imp wickets quickly. thats why for us opposition tails looks longer if we are fielding first. hopefully india is put into bat

You are wrong mate. When we beat Australia in a T20 last year in Mumbai, we were chasing the target..
