<p>Its funny as the interviewer said last night that it would be a "home" game in Delhi for us. But if anything its exactly the opposite and is likely advantageous for England.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>??? How did the interviewer figure Delhi on a pitch we haven't played on was a home game for us?</p>

[Gunner]

By home game, maybe he means we'll get the neutral Injuns support?

<p>England made 142 vs Afghanistan and 171 versus Sri Lanka. Ironically, we probably want a low scoring pitch which is a bit slow.</p>

[mimic]

<p>England absolutely tonked the Sri Lankans in the last 5 overs though.. I think they scored 71 off the last 5 overs.. </p>
<p>England were heading for 140 again until Buttler let loose.. </p>

So how did the pitch play? A nice slow turner?

[Mokey]

<p>Chick Ferns demolished the Saffas in their game, so they are unbeaten and through to the semi finals as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>NZ has an opportunity to do a big double here.</p>

The chickens aren't hatched yet. Best not to be counting them

[Unco]

<p>Afghanistan are looking good here.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Windies are 40/3 cashing 123 but they're basically 4 down, with Fletcher retiring hurt.</p>

[Unco]

<p>Afghanistan!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>89/6 (including Fletcher's retire)</p>

[Unco]

<p>Afghanistan win What a great game.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For some stupid reason the Windies brought Fletcher back on in the last over with ruined hamstring even though the semi was already guaranteed before this game. Dumb.</p>

[Glath]

<p>That Najib catch to seal it. :D</p>

[infidel]

Aus v India on now.<br><br>
Aus batting are 100/4 after 13 overs.<br><br>
Betfair currently has India @1.67 to win so must be a decent batting wicket.

[infidel]

Aus get 3 runs in the 17th over and 4 runs in the 18th over.<br><br>
India 1.57 to win on betfair at the moment.

[infidel]

Aus get 15 runs off the last four balls and finish on 160.<br><br>
Betfair is India 1.68 and Aus 2.47 at the innings break.<br><br>
To win the tournament currently is<br><br>
India 3.95<br>
NZ 4.4<br>
West Indies 5.85<br>
Aus 6.5<br>
England 5.15<br><br>
So basically no idea who might win it as market very even. Flip a coin.

[infidel]

India now 1.33 to win against the Aussies

[infidel]

Two overs to go, India need 20 to win.

[infidel]

India win easily and now paying 2.33 to win the tournament, 2.33 price is too short

Of course the windies might have something to say about that

[NTA]

Just someone beat India. That's all I ask.
