Ayy SA makes it to the semis, Rabada's four was such a clutch. I'm glad rain didn't wash-out match completely.
This is a big disappointment for the West Indies team as they not only lost this match but also lost the chance to move to the semi-finals of this world cup. We could see the sad faces not only in the team but also in the crowd as 90% of the crowd was from West Indies and they came to see their team through to the final.
Once again this match was a low score and again it was a thriller. South Africa is the only team that remain unbeaten in this tournament. Whats more exciting is that they are the only ones who won a lot of close matches and didnt panic in the end or take the match pressure. Will they continue this form in the semi-finals and the finals ? Thats the big question.
South Africa played good cricket and not only won the game but also an unbeatable team in this World Cup like India. Hosts are out from the World Cup now everyone is waiting and watching who is coming from another group and played a Semi-final with SA.
India lost wickets early today but other batsmen are performing well. The number of wickets lost by the Indian team is higher, here the bowling performance of the Australian team is much better. Rohit Sharma has performed well, if he can score 200 plus runs in today's game, he will have the best chance of winning against the Australian team.
Australia has the most aggressive batsman in the team who can be aggressive at any time. So India team has collected 174 runs in 17.2 overs so far, thus if India team continues to collect runs then there will definitely be a chance to win.
Hitman played a wonderful innings and secured a victory for India in a very important match. Australian fast bowling line is completely shattered by Hitman and other players. A loss from Afghanistan costs them a lot now and probably pushes the auses out of this world cup.
What a surprising moment that Afghanistan is in semifinals. And one more surprising thing is that now Australia didn't qualify for the semifinals. And now these are the four teams are in semifinals. South Africa, Afghanistan, India and England. So first match us between Afghanistan and South Africa and second is between England and India. And I am looking that India and Afghanistan will play the final match. So let's see.
It's not a surprising moment its a result of the hard work and determination that which Afghanistan team and players showed throughout this tournament. A well deserved team move toward the semi-finals and we hope that they put on a good show against South Africa.
PS: I won't mind if SA or Afghan lift the trophy.
Afghanistan team has ability by the way. I think the first semifinal they will win. And the final match will be held between India and Afghanistan. And if England will go in final so I think Afghanistan will win the match. Afghanistan basically improved much in some months. Like we saw in the ODI World Cup how they perform. Unfortunately they lost from Australia. But here they took revenge. By the way I really appreciate their performance and I hope they will win the trophy too.
The first semis is between AFG vs SA so one thing is for sure, we will get at least one new face for the finals. this will be the first ICC final for Afghans or Proteas (Guess for them too).
I think, after Australia, England are the worst match for India. England are also a clutch team and India needs to up their game against them with no 30 minutes of bad cricket, also it's a knockout (Achilles heel of India).
Semifinalist are their
SA VS AFG
ENG VS IND
These 4 teams play a good game throughout the tournament apart from 1-2 games but look they are now in Semis. As a cricket fan, we hope that a good game of cricket is played between these teams. Let's see who will secure the position in the finals.
