Real nailbiter but England should edge it from here if they don't have any more red mist overs. Full and straight and allow one or two per ball.

Dry well done by England. A real nail biter towards the end but some good strength in depth at the end from the Engerlund

Are we definitely through if we beat SL ?
I’m gonna lay us despite thinking we’ll blow them away easily enough, 1.25 lowish |

By:
oz need to beat the afghans by around 50 runs more than england beat sl

Possible

Afghan need to score 125 or thereabouts to eliminate Australia-provided that England win of course. The way things are going Afghan could even win the game which would ensure England are through.

The smaller sides seem to implode at around halfway through an innings. 4 wickets in 2 overs so just hope they pass the 125 now.

Great relief in the end but considering where they were after 8 overs, England were dreadful. It will be a great watch from now on though with 2 semis and a final. Why did Curran and Woakes swing the bat when they needed one per ball? They only needed to block the ball and run. I know Woakes got a boundary to win but only because the field had come in.

The Pomms worthy winners and semi finalists. Think they have the best bowling attack in the tournament.
|
|
By:
England do have the best bowling but can’t see us winning it, nice to consistently be making semi finals though. We were better last year before being grind down to Australia
We looked unstoppable in the group stage last year whereas we’ve looked less so |
|
By:
it's a very hit and miss format. oz have been largely awful either side of stringing together the 4 wins needed to win last year's competition whereas as you say england looked the best team last time but a dodgy 3 over spell put them out
|
|
By:
I think that’s the only plus to 20 20 personally
It can throw up different winners consistently |

By:
India look the best currently

I think England will beat India if they face them.

Semi finals are too close to call imho. All teams have decent attacks and destructive batsmen. It can come down to the toss and conditions leaving aside luck.
I think India will play Pant to deal with Rashid and the short square boundaries as he is a left hooker and can float in the order. India have a big problem with the fifth bowler imho. England have plenty of seamers with pace on and off. Which Pakistan will turn up? Just going to enjoy the show with a steak and a fine Barossa. Semi finals can be cricket at its best. Who will deal best with the square boundaries in Adelaide. England look well prepared and well planned. India more likely to rely on individual genius than planning or grunt. NZ look well rounded. As long as they don't bat first on a green wicket I expect them to win but definitely not a forgone conclusion. |

England v Pakistan final. If Wood is fit to play.
|
|
By:
Would be a cracking final either way for me watching wise
England vs Pakistan would be great although losing to them would be depressing esp with having mad Pakistani shop owners down my street (always talk cricket when Im in) India vs Pakistan is always a watch personally, always interesting match ups for me Ive backed India (single vs us), Ill get up to watch that |

Excellent first 15 overs from England. You would have to wonder what the score could have been if India got a better start. Comeback by I dis makes this really exciting. Not sure India will be able to contain England in the middle overs so start with swing will be crucial.
Can’t call this at all. Nice win on run lines but not risking a penny on the result. Odds about right just now but...... |
|
By:
No contest. England have kept up a 10 per over tempo from the first over and still no real chancy shots played!
|
|
By:
Absolutele cake walk for England. They have been brilliant tbf.
So important to go after the ball when it is hard as it also puts pressure on the bowlers. India trying to hit the ball too hard rather than looking for gaps in the field. Far too many dot balls put them against the wall. The way England are playing they may well have chased down 180. England finding all the gaps. Might be quite cat and mouse with Pakistan. Pakistan will need to chase to make it an exciting game I think. |
|
By:
This is the best batting from England ever against one of the top teams. Absolutely humiliated India.
|
|
By:
Absolutely fantastic performance by the Pomms. Will have far too much discipline and firepower for Pakistan. They will smother them with their bowling attack.Congrats to the Pomms for reaching the final. They are the best team in the tournament.

That was sublime stuff from England, never seen such a caning with the bat
They better win it after that, we see that a fair bit , a sublime master class followed by a sticky performance and loss after They have to win |
|
By:
not a good look from batsman rohit to try and pin it all on the bowlers when anyone can see it's india's old fashioned cautious approach in the first 10 overs which cost them
|

By:
England have raised the bar in how to play the T20 power play , it seems all the other top nations are playing " old " T20 so expect to see the big guns revisit their strategies following this world cup.
Well played England , masterclass  |
|
By:
Pretty shocking interview by Rohit throwing his bowlers under the bus particularly Bhuvie.
India quite clearly have not adapted to the changing demands of T20 and particular needs in Australia. Both England and NZ did not go after the hard new ball or take advantage of the opening power play restrictions. Neither put the bowlers under pressure. Neither team swept effectively or moved around the crease. |

India and NZ you mean.
