India off to a flyer and SA aren’t chasing this already.

This pitch looks so tailor made for batters. No swing, no movement, not real pace. Rapid outfield and a very small ground. Jansen going the distance

Haha honestly, the arrogance of these Indians. Gill is clearly bowled and he stands there, and makes the umpire check. Fuck off. Would love them to get beaten here

This is unbelievable dominance by Team India. No has even come close to beating them. Might as well give us the trophy, no way India is losing any game. Similar to Aus 2003, 2007, WI 1975,1979 and Sri Lanka 1996. This will be an undefeated WC win.

I'm not arrogant, I'm actually a very neutral cricket fan, I'm just being realistic here. Tell me one reason why India would lose? There ain't one weak link in this team, in home conditions. Outside of India it would have been close against SENA nations, no doubt.

Will waltz into the final undefeated but nerves and a little luck will come into play

I didn't see the SA innings but Bumrah seems to be the difference in most of their games. I wonder if anyone other teams will query unusual movement?

Anything can happen in the semifinals, I would love to see India lose to the fourth place team and see what format they suggest instead. South Africa are a real enigma, batting second they are completely useless.
