Lagging In Catches Calls The Trouble
It was Shami who started the proceeding with dropping the catch it was 6th over of the match where he was bowling to Rachin Ravindra, he tapped the ball straight to Shami which was straight forward catch, Shami missed it and injured his hand. Shami in semi final too dropped the important catch of Travis Head
Next catch was dropped by Shreyas Iyer same of Rachin Ravindra at the deep mid wicket. Ravindra sweeped Chakravarthy ball over deep and there stood Iyer who came on running and dropped at the end. That catch was in hand which just tickled at the end moment. Though India made a good ground fielding contributions and took some crucial wickets too.
The Pressure Of Final Pressurize
The pressure of final always makes you sometime tilt because your one mistake can make you away from the game. Same thing happened in 35 over too where Rohit Sharma dropped Darryl Mitchell at the mid wicket though the catch was quite a tuff one but at international standards you have to get those to acquire the trophy. Rohit Sharma extended his arms high but the effort was 100% but wasn't quite enough to take the catch.

Though it was not enough vice captain Subhman Gill made a blunder by dropping Phillips at mid wicket, where Phillips hit the shot at mid wicket and Subhman standing in shade charged over it but dropped at the end.
