So the top 4 are decided and are almost as expected with the exception of SA. Most people predicted Ind, England, Australia, NZ.
It's not that surprising that SA have made the semi finals given their form against Australia in their lead up ODI series.

It's surprising that England have been so bad though and were out of semi finals contention so quickly.

Theekshana really is like the Sri Lankan Woakes, he bats better and more sensibly than most of his team's top order.

The bowling attack that England picked never gave me confidence that they were going anywhere in this tournament. They relied so heavily on their batting that they were okay conceding few extra runs or scoring so many runs that would compensate of their bowling leaking extra runs.
The moment their batting started failing they were exposed

He's never made a 50 in professional cricket (Woakes has done that 34 times, and has 10 FC hundreds). He looks better than that and has improved recently but he's not Woakes.

Brother there's only 10 teams...which includes Netherlands, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka..You wouldn't need to be a rocket scientist to get atleast 80 percent of top 4 right .

And I mean Bangers SL Afg Neth were never super likely

Madushanka showing some fight here, he isn't the worst no.11 going around.

Bairstow, Root and Buttler all being out of form has cost them more than their bowling, even a better bowling attack can't make up for the lack of runs.

... Either way if the World Cup consisted of the 4 teams West Indies still wouldn't have qualified for the semi's... lol
