rizwan just skipped down the wicket missed the ball fell over hurt his knee and got out in one smooth motion. could've only been improved by his trousers falling down

Ok great we are in and not playing Aussie, we have a chance, surely India are due to lose a game and we have some cool customers in our team. I dare to dream...

Will take a lot for India to lose though. I don’t see them putting in a bad performance so one of the other teams will have to play to the absolute best of their abilities.

Yes this is the ideal final and would be a nice FU to the ICC plus crown a new first ever champion!

I know the game has started, but I’m tipping India to beat the Netherlands. Call me crazy.

UPDATE: 410 was enough, NED 10/250.

India had 9 bowlers, Kohli and Rohit took wickets.

India going into the semis with all batsmen in top form. I don't know how they can be beat right now.

You need to get India 5 down to put any pressure on them. The tail is pretty weak and seems like only weakness. And they don't really have 6th bowling option if there is an injury.

Out of the 3 other teams left, I'm most concerned about new zealand.

They are the team that looked the most comfortable against our bowling, and that was without Kane.

That was supposed to be a yup lol

My money is on India but now anyone can beat anyone else on the day.

South Africa will be feeling very nervous about playing Australia with their history

SA's mindset has to be to play on instinct and not overthink. They certainly have enough talent to beat Australia.

Not against Zampa. Leg spin is their Achilles' heel

They've beaten Australia multiple times getting here, they need to keep the same mindset and not think of it as a knockout game. Same applies to india probably.

They smashed Zampa for 70 off 10 in lucknow a spin friendly track.

They just have to play with the same freedom.

Given it's south africa toss will be key, if they get to bat first it will be very tough for australia.

It is a cricketing miracle that could sit alongside Ian Botham 1981 or Ben Stokes 2019. But instead of Headingley, this latest incredible comeback took place in the humble surroundings of the Carrara Community Centre on Australia's Gold Coast.

Club side Surfers Paradise had victory in their grasp against Mudgeeraba in the Gold Coast's Premier League Division Three. Chasing 179, they needed just five runs from the final over with six wickets in hand to win.

Mudgeeraba captain Gareth Morgan had other ideas, taking six wickets in six balls to seal the unlikeliest of victories.

I feel we are great chasers though

Lol I didn't want to mention it as I hoped it wouldn't come up but India possibly trying to doctor the pitch through a late change to another pitch

Rohit having some discussions, possibly wondering when to declare. Maybe after 40 overs, give them a few overs at the Kiwis before lunch
