With this kind of Team selection, they should loose every match. :mad:

Its not an IPL match in India where you play 3 spinners and get to win. :X

I agree, Dhoni got the team selection wrong against the aussies, he could be excused once...but again ! Besides a team in general having problem with the short pitched stuff doesn't bode well

One of the spectators had a board during the match which said something like, "India finish the match fast, Pakistan is waiting for you for the flight back home" :D

^^ ROFL! Seriously? :p

The only hope for India to qualify for semis is to thrash SriLanka in the following match and hope for the three teams in Group F to finish with a win each, which seems almost impossible..

You cannot afford to make your way to semis with this mathematical possibility in big tournament like this.. :ashamed:

Yup, Australia vs Pakistan - 2nd semi-final.

I hope the first semi-final is between England and India. :)

For India to make the cut, they'll have to beat Sri Lanka by a margin of at least 20 runs, and then hope West Indies lose to Australia. Currently India have conceded 63 more runs than they have scored, compared to Sri Lanka's 24. If they win by 20 runs, their difference will reduce to 43 while Sri Lanka's will increase to 44, which will do the trick for India. If India bat second, and assuming Sri Lanka have scored 160, they'll need to chase it down in a maximum of 17.4 overs to lift their NRR above Sri Lanka's.

EDIT - At least someone did what was needed to reach the semifinals

India Women 144 for 3 (Naik 59, Raj 52*) beat Sri Lanka Women 73 for 9 (David 4-12) by 71 runs
