So if India beats Australia, does that mean they will go the Semis or do they have to have a better run rate as well?

Can the commentators stop using this cliché about Pakistan being unpredictable. They're highly predictable I.e poor batting and good bowling.

To be honest, their bowling hasn't been all that good in this tournament. NZ got 180, Aus got 193, and they weren't great against India either.

They bowled well against India (well, and India batted badly). Just didn't have a defensible total. But yeah, poor performance from Pakistan overall in this tournament.
Nah they really didn't. Brainless stuff, India made it hard by bowling a ton of slower balls and cutters and Ifran and Wahab decided that short and wide was the way to go.

They bowled poorly against India, Irfan and Wahab didn't have a clue. Sami got a few lucky wickets because of poor batting. Afridi took the cake though, tossing the ball up and bowling half volleys on a pitch that was turning square.

Shocking decision by WI to bowl first here. Typical Nagpur pitch will spin more in second innings. Put a score up and put Saffers under pressure on a spinning pitch against Benn and Badree.

10 years ago, this stadium would probably not have even reached half capacity. Twenty20 cricket has brought huge audiences irrespective of the nations.

Please, nobody bring out the C-word for SA. Because in this particular instance, they're just shite

It's a T20 game. Pitches don't change much if at all during the course of a game. So unless dew is a factor in a day game what you do depends on whether you prefer chasing or setting a score.

Just think it is always a good idea to have SA chasing in a tight must win game for the,.

Time for AB to stand up in this format. Has the time to get set and explode.
