Will India make it to the semi-finals?

I think on current form India will beat England. India will need to beat South africa to be assured of a place in semis. I think it will come down to net run rate, thats a likely possibility as well and India will need to win two tough games by good margin to keep their net run rate higher.

Yes if England beat us WI then there will be a chance for India but right now I want India to beat England. I am sorry to say that my two team India and WI is in this state but let the two best teams goes to the semi. I am routing for India to beat SA they and SL are the only unbeatable side right now. This world cup is surely excited even more than the 2007 one.

Yes if India beat both the teams there is no question of defeating with a huge margin. Today is India's chance to show that they really won the previous version of this formate of the game.

Why should the game against the West Indies be the easiest one to win. We are more powerful then England. Did we scrape through to come to the Super 8 stage. You are disrespecting my team. Look at the team that beat England and you are putting England ahead of the West Indies this simple means you don't know cricket. India will beat England and South Africans. Never underestimate your opponents and this was what England did in the first round and was embarrassed. It feels good to be an underdog but yet it is the underdog that beat the defeating Champions having them going to the drawing table. It is the underdog that drive the nail in the Australian Coffin and the Sri Lankans closed it. It feels good to be an under dog real good.

england might be tough to beat in their home conditions, and south africa is always a tough opponent, being the first game there was less pressure on indians to play against westindies, now we have to play under pressure, lests see how we perform under pressure. btw... dont make comments like "you dont know cricket" or " i'm disrespecting team india" i'm here just to discuss about what i feel about certain things, if you disagree you can say that but don't cross the line, lets have a peaceful environment. Please learn how to disagree with out being disagreeable which will be good for you in the future.

Surely Dhoni is to be blamed, he didn't just waste deliveries but also added to the pressure on Yuvraj and coming batsmen. Another mistake was missing the run out of Bravo, had Bravo been run out the match would have surely gone right down to the last over. What about himself coming in at no. 3 at times when Raina has been in sublime form at no. 3. India will be able to beat England, its too much pressure right now on Kevin Pietersen as others in England team are not performing that good so i guess India should just take advantage and pile more pressure on Pietersen, he holds the key for England. If India wins against England which it will win most probably then the game against South Africa will be the toughest one so far.

I'm sorry to say but Engalnd won't be beating India, their only hope is Pietersen who can knock off any team. India is going to be tough for Engalnd to beat and after the last game they would be raring to make amends. Indian team is like a wounded tiger right now so beware England.

thanx for your prayers and we all are praying. Thats the craze of cricket in india, those who are not match buffs even they feel delighted when India succeeds. I hope your prayers come true and India eventually gets through to the semis.

Thats a possibilty but I think West indies will beat England as they are in form and England batsmen are struggling except Pietersen. But watever be the possibility i think it might eventually come down to net run rate so India will need to win big against Engalnd to keep higher run rate.

Sure we are not out yet and with the kind of team we can win the remaining two matches and that will guarantee us a spot in semis most probably. Last game was a close one but too many mistakes were made in that game, we need to avoid that in the coming games to win.

Nice to hear that from you, i thought you only see West indies but good to see those nice words coming from you, I too feel India will make it to the semis provided they beat South africa after England. West indies too have an edge over England, Just need to get through Pietersen. And Kevin Pietersen is not overrated, he is the second fastest to score 1000 runs in one day internationals, noone else from the current generation is even in the top 10, only Michael hussey comes close in top 20. He won them the 2005 Ashes against strong Australian side, it was only after his inclusion that English media could boast of a possible victory. He is the face of English cricket along with Flintoff so definitely rated high as he should be, he's still getting to terms with T20 but others forms of the game he's just been outstanding.

They will sure hell need to play at their best bcoz the teams they are about to face are not gonna be easy, its South africa rolling in mighty form and even England have got some good players. So its just that Indian team has to perform the way they have been doing for the past two years and so and the ley players need to come to form and play well as a team.

Nice that you brouught that up, Engalnd were a lot stronger in the last world cup with Flintoff who's not with Engalnd this time around so they will struggle and it looks like India will win this one. But the game against South africa will be a real nail biter as South africa are looking at their peak so beating them won't be easy. I believe India have got it in them to repeat the history and go through to semis once again.
