Quarter Finals Lineup

[Square Drive]

another boring match with Eng?pls don't :facepalm:any way V want another match again Aussies plsssssss God:pray::pray:

Why not Eng for the QF? :dontknow: Aussies are for the final man. We can get Indian crowd support in the final when we play against Asutralia. :two_thumbs_up: :yay:

[kabira]

where do you get those graphics for possible scenarios??

[pinkfreud]

If it does pan out that way, then our (very) likely semi-finalists would be: Australia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and India. and on further assumption for the semis: Oz vs. India and SA vs. SL :yay:

[ravishingravi]

^Yup, this is my guess too. Except if Pak win today and India lose tom.

[kabira]

Ind v/s SL or Ind v/s NZL...99% Aus will win this game as they are batting first. Under lights, I don't see Pakistan scoring more than 150-160 runs.

[ZodiaC]

So we'll face NZ in quarters surely right? Irrespective of the result of Pak vs Aus? Wow :aha:

[kabira]

^ no no If Aussie win they top the group and NZL are third, If Pakis win they top the group and Aussies are third and Kiwis are 4th.

what a prediction here..... But If India lose against WI then scenario will be changed, Ind should play against SL in QF. So still we have to wait for result of IND vs WI.

It is not 99%....... It is 100% IND vs SL or IND vs NZ IND vs NZ is 99% and only if IND lose next match then IND vs SL in QF

[sudheer kumar]

QF might be A1 vs B4 PAK vs WI A2 vs B3 SL vs ENG A3 vs B2 AUS vs IND A4 vs B1 NZ vs SA IN Semi finals C=PAK D=SL E=AUS/IND F=SA SF1 ------> PAK vs IND/AUS SF2 ------> SL vs SA So SL or SA will enter into the final easily. CAN WE EXPECT IND VS SA IN FINAL?

[girishk14]

The finals will DEF be Aus-Ind/SL.

[kabira]

It is not 99%....... It is 100% IND vs SL or IND vs NZ IND vs NZ is 99% and only if IND lose next match then IND vs SL in QF

No, its not, if Pakis win today, we will not play Kiwis.

[pinkfreud]

You're assuming Aussies will be A3 if they lose today right? But I doubt it, because Pak will have a hard time playing under the lights. Basically, like you said, there's a HUGE chance we'll be playing either SL or NZ, but I'm leaning more towards NZ because we'll be playing in Chennai, hopefully with more spinners- and if we do that, we'll have an advantage because WI has got many lefties, which makes them more vulnerable. I think our chances of winning tomorrow are more than our chances of losing. But in your scenario up there, my semi finalists would be Pak, SL, Australia, and SA. I don't want to be pessimistic, but Australia are monsters during KO stages.. so it is in our best interest that Aus wins today and India wins tomorrow.. if either one of these teams lose, we could be facing one another in the quarters. It's better if we crash out in the later stages than crash out early. Going further, my choice for the 2 finalists would be Australia and SA... and if that ever happens, I will put my money on Oz winning :asleep:

[pinkfreud]

Looking at the way things are going in the Oz/Pak match, I think there's a huge probability either SA or us will be meeting Oz in the quarters.

[Karan114]

Looking at the way things are going in the Oz/Pak match' date=' I think there's a huge probability either SA or us will be meeting Oz in the quarters.[/quote'] We definitely look like meeting Aus now, but there is no chance of SA meeting Aus in the quarters - SA will finish top whatever happens while Aus will be 2nd or 3rd if they lose today.

But PAKISTAN has easy chance to win the game if AUS score less than 220...... So it is looking like IND will have face AUS in QF and you will lose your money if you keep it on AUS........ Because AUS has weakness of sudden collapse against Sub continent teams... That proved in Practice match against India........ and might be proven against PAK in their group match. After watching today's AUS performance I can say IND will play against SA in final. I hope the cup will be in DHONI's hands on APR 2nd...........

[pinkfreud]

Yup. They've just sucked against spin, but remember that the KOs will be played on tracks that are relatively more batting and seamer friendly (except stupid Premadasa).. we can't rule out Oz for the KOs just yet.

[Manny_Pacquiao]

australia finishing 3rd today if they lose to pakistan. sri lanka has better NRR. i dont mind seeing india play australia at all. look at how crappy their batting is right now. we also bowled them out cheaply while defending a low 200 score.

[Laaloo]

So if Aus lose today and we win, we play Australia? What if Aus somehow win today and we win. Who do we play? NZ?

[Manny_Pacquiao]

assuming india beats WI tomorrow - if AUS loses, india vs australia - if AUS wins, india vs NZ
