Well... there is no question about it. Every other team had to travel from one country to the other, and the Indians were not required to do that. And it is not like these countries are adjacent. For example, Rawalpindi lies close to 2,000 kilometers away from Lahore. And this means that players had to spend 5-6 hours in travelling one way. On the other hand, the Indian players hardly stepped out of their hotel room in Dubai. Also, remember that India participated in the first semi-final.

In every tournament teams have to travel and don't forget their travelling is far luxurious then ordinary person travelling specially when they are in Pakistan. In Pakistan due to security reasons all teams are getting extra ordinary protocols like they travel from hotel to airport with roads closed for local traffic and on airport they don't have to wait in queues to board the flight. The distance between Rawalpindi and Lahore is 350km by road and teams can move from Rawalpindi hotel to Lahore hotel in not more then two hours because of extra ordinary protocols for foreign cricket teams.

The match between India and New Zealand which many people have busied themselves to watch and also their match is highly predicted and the bets on them are also high but only one team will win the match. I think India is succeeding because of their hard work and dedication and because of hard bowling. In this match too, New Zealand batsmen have not played so well, their batsmen have given a weak target in the 50 over innings, which is very easy, which Indian batsmen will easily complete and win the match. New Zealand batsmen have made 251 runs , if they had played well in the first over, their target could have been above 300. They should have worked hard and played well to win this championship. India is very strong and they also dominated New Zealand badly and are playing with dedication to win the match.
