Pakistan is already in Semis. 
South Africa is almost there. They shouldnot lose big ( more than 20 runs) against India tomorrow.
Australia Must win against SL tomorrow.
SL must win against Australia tomorrow.
India must win against South Africa tomorrow.
NZL Sit at hotel and watch India vs South Africa game. Pray to God that India loses(More likely) OR If India wins they better win big(Less Likely).
INDIA into SEMIS if they beat SA 2mrow (will have to play PAKISTAN) (check the image)
NZ has played all their 3 matches. So their RR is +0.05
INDIA has one more game to go and their RR is +0.20
Now if INDIA wins the game 2mrow, Then its obvious that their RR will NOT DROP. This means no matter what it will be more than the kiwiz.
So 2mrow’s game is very crucial. If INDIA wins South Africa, then INDIA is THRU 100%.
And then INDIA will have to face PAKISTAN in the semis.
Hope it helps.
Check the image for the current RR:

Well..It will depend on India's margin of victory..If India win big then India can top the group and not face Pak.
Infect for Pakistani supporters... Pray that India wins Big so that South Africa is out and you get to play NZL. :D
Re: INDIA into SEMIS if they beat SA 2mrow (will have to play PAKISTAN) (check the im
Correction: If INDIA wins 2mrow, then SA and PAK will be through.
But then who will Pakistan play in the semis?
I dont think its decided yet. It will be according to the RR of SA and IND i think.
Re: INDIA into SEMIS if they beat SA 2mrow (will have to play PAKISTAN) (check the im
yep exactly, fair & balance, so SA can also be out if INDIA wins with a big margin and if the RR of SA is more than NZ.
Re: INDIA into SEMIS if they beat SA 2mrow (will have to play PAKISTAN) (check the im
Here is how it will play out..
India win big...India tops and NZL will be 2nd.
India wins by whisker...SA tops and India will be 2nd.
India loses: SA tops and ZL is 2nd....
Take your pick.
PS: By Big margin, I mean 15-20 runs really. :D
Re: Race to Semifinal
Pakistan have indeed been great in this tournament.....well..except for the small matter of not being able to hit 3 unprotected dandis 22 yards away - in 3 attempts.
Shoaib Malik & Misbah have batted splendidly so far. And I feel Afridi's fast leggies have been pretty useful in this format. Pak has beaten strong teams - SL & Australia - very convincingly and that would make them my favorites to win the Twenty20 WC (otherwise known as Worldcup for Tullaybaazs).
Let us hope that I have successfuly jinxed the Pak team.
Re: Race to Semifinal
thanks for summing it up for us f&b .
..... after long time I'll sit and watch the teams "watching other's games and praying" warna its always Pakistani depending on other's results :)
Re: Race to Semifinal
F&B mian, I thought you don’t like bullsh!t cricket and won’t be following it… what happened? 
Re: Race to Semifinal
I am not following it as much as I would do with Test Cricket. But then Cricket ka keeda hai na…
and Yes Twenty20 is still BS cricket unless they make some changes to make little bit bowler friendly
Re: Race to Semifinal
Re: Race to Semifinal
should be an interesting match tomorrow
if india wins they are thro to next round, if lose - go home, equation is simple, but beating SA is not going to be easy + no zaheer khan vs gsmith
Re: Race to Semifinal
if india wins then they will loose to pak and it can be pak vs aus final ... great !
Re: Race to Semifinal
For the first time (or after a long long one) Pakistan is waiting to see who they will play in SEMIS vs. struggling to move ahead in the tourny…
Re: Race to Semifinal
if india wins then they will lose to pak and it can be pak vs aus final ... great !
Both are unlikely to happen.
Re: Race to Semifinal
lolz!
i am very confident on the 2nd part inshallah ;)
Re: Race to Semifinal
Against all odds!
