There are 3 games on the same day (same day in Aus) … When there is one game scheduled for the day, it takes place at 3-4 a.m. EST (usually, weekday games)

Pakistan doing a huge favour for India last night, I didnt see us beating NZ in a SEMI.

 

In a FINAL, anything can happen and NZ do choke too.

Would like to be proven wrong but just don't see it. BD are the worst chokers even worse than SA without anywhere near the talent. The game against Ind was close only because of Das. And Zimbabae and Rizwan live for matches against minnows.

Unless, SL beats Eng, highly unlikely, India beating Zim will now play semis in Sydney against Eng and not in Adelaide against Aus.

I would take Eng at any day over Australia in semi.  
first we need to overcome suprise from zimbabar. These team beat pakbean and can spurs some surprise.  If vada pav sharma can make some runs and give us good start then we are good.  Power play okay is very important for india and can make our day easier.

If they don't win against Zimbabwe then they don't deserve to go to semis.

Australia were there for taking. Baba captaincy cost us that much. 
 

This England is different they won ODI World Cup. India is limited side English just need to get Virat out cheaply.

Zimbabwe has history of beating India in World Cup. Zim best chance will be bowling first to not deal with Virat heroics in chasing. Due to nature of T20 you have automatic advantage batting second.

They did get virat out cheaply. Yet almost failed to defend 215

 

SKY batting for 10 overs > VIrat batting for 10 overs.

I can’t forget how Australia dominated India since 1996 world cups.  Eng is better side but we play better to English side than Australia.  Aussie is force to recon in knock outs.

But can Sky bat for 10 overs under pressure with everything at stake.

THat is a different topic. But most teams would not prefer Sky bat for 10 overs. It will be carnage.

True but for that SKY needs to bat for 10 overs. Sehwag if he batted as long as Dravid he would have scored million runs but he could not do it. SKY has ability to score runs in odd places but he also has ability to get out on any ball.

His style of game is extremely risky. He is reasonably consistent even with that approach. Against SA he was going well. Could have slowed down for a couple of overs and gone hell for leather in the last over. He continued taking chances.  He always targets open spaces that is why he is able to consistent. Even against Bangladesh moment Shakib  brought the third in and move the extra cover he spotted a gap at third man. So played an extremely risky shot of dabbing down to third man from the stumps. Didn't come off. That's okay.

He can if Kohli stays at the other end. Kohli- Sky combo has worked well for us.
