The 4 teams that got through to the Semi's were the best 4 in the tournament. The league is the best way to show who is the best.

Knockout games are hit and miss - any team can win on their day.

Today was New Zealand's

Even if India had won the match (like they were ever going to do Pak a favour), Pak would've bottled the match vs Afghanistan under the extra pressure
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nope because Pakistan had momentum, remember Champions Trophy!
========================================

That was when you were bowling teams out, this time you couldn't bowl anyone out apart from Bangladesh



----------------------------------------------------------------------
We didnt bowl out SA, Sri Lanka and England. Only India in the final

quick stat:
England have been in 3 world cup finals and 2 Champions Trophy finals

Lost every single one

Kash, please study this, there's a good chap:

I made a mistake, you didn't bowl out SA, but you bowled out SL, Eng and Ind

SL and England made it to the final over while batting first

You had some momentum this time Kash, but then went back into the gutter with the Afghanistan performance

If you were in the semis, I would predict a comfortable loss like in the 2015 QF (where you had momentum too)

New Zealand. Well bowled - deserve their spot.

Now onto tomorrow. Come on you Aussies, send the barmy army home with their tails between their legs

Supporting confirmed cheats

India fans are so bitter.

Rather be bitter than non-existent. Where where you when we played England? Pathetic support from the 'home off cricket'

English fan all the same like football hooligan they hate everyone else for no reason because they are arrogant from history as well

English fan not attend lefty because player from English team are most from born in other country

We aren't the ones whose hatred extends to supporting players that received lengthy bans for cheating

India are entering the territory of being called chockers. They have lost KO matches similar to today 6 times since 2014. This is what I was fearing - they have bottled another opportunity.

Well played NZ. Ps india’s Top 3 are absolutely garbage in knock out matches. Rohit, Kohli and Dhawan have had no meaningful contributions in the past few 50 over tournaments.

How do you know I haven’t been to watch England in this World Cup?

Where were the Pak fans when India played Pakistan at Old Trafford?

None playing at home, so it's irrelevant .

At least now Pakistan and India are out the country can unite and celebrate the summer hammering the Aussies

Big day

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This! Biggest ODI since 1992 for England. I'm at work all day but will be glued to BBC and here all day

First time in semis since 92 and currently no 1 ranked team in the world,reflects giant progress this team has made since WC 15. England favourites because Aus without 2 major players.

Are you excited for England's magnificent victory today?

Game could be decided at 10am on the toss

The World Cup will be decided by whichever semi final team wins the toss twice.
