So India is the second team to qualify for the semifinals after Australia after that win against Bangladesh. Bumrah and Starc have to be the finest bowlers playing in this World Cup.

It will be interesting to see who the other two teams will be to make the semis. Looks like NZ and England for now.

India vs England rematch should be awesome. The end of the tourney is dragging and we can thank Sri Lanka for it not dragging even more.

With Australia losing to South Africa in the final group game, India now top the tables. I'm sure they'd much rather play New Zealand than England in the semifinals, even though they will never come out and say it publicly.

Everyone thinks India will beat NZ but this format is different semi final onwards. I expect the pitches to behave differently so the team that adapts best wins the World Cup. Could well be NZ.

Just like the playoffs, anyone can beat anyone else on a given day. And it happened. NZ knock India out of the World Cup!

So we will have a first time World Cup winner after that shellacking of Australia by England. I'm not sure who to root for in the finals, New Zealand or England.

Rooting for NZ to win it all now. England favorites but it will come down to the pitch.

One of the best matches I've seen in my life! Neither team deserved to lose that one. Congratulations to England!

Didn’t watch much of it sadly... was too captivated by the Wimbledon final. Will have to go watch the rest.
