Toss will be crucial. Both sides have struggled when chasing this tournament.

 

[Shri]

waiting for the live coverage to begin

Having a reserve day for one semi final but not the other.

It’s all fair, nothing to see here.

I don't know if it has anything to do with that. It could have actually spectacularly backfired on them if giving India an advantage was the goal.

Meaning that the ICC had no idea if India would be the #1 or #2 seed, and if Australia won, they might have been the #2 seed...... if they were the #2 seed and it rained, they would get out of the tournament. In addition, you're also more likely to have a situation where you don't get to broadcast an India semi final to hundreds of millions of people....

This whole format sucks with the pre-seeded teams, I’m being gracious here.

As the old saying goes, “Money talks, bull$hit walks.”

 

[Shri]

Right sure, it's weird.


But not having a reserve day here actually might have hurt India really badly is all I am saying.

 

[Shri]

both teams unchanged

 

[silentstriker]

I am assuming Gulbadin got the state-of-the-art AI-developed hamstring reconstruction surgery yesterday, and he will be ready to go tonight.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

130 probably good enough score here

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

This is funny all the australian commies here

 

[Shri]

130 probably good enough score here

against SA in a semifinal, 100 is game on

 

[Shri]

will reeza be binned for good if sa lose this game

 

[Stefan9]

Not ideal batting second. Hopefully our bowlers can restrict to a manageable total. Come on Proteas.

 

[silentstriker]

This pitch is new? Looks....interesting.
