Boring matches and rains have been the norm this Champions Trophy! So, it was in some ways great to see Pak beat SA ; thought it is debatable whether they would have been able to bat all 50 overs. The rains helped Pak win I guess; though we must say that they bowled excellently and batted sensibly!
SL versus India today too is interesting this far. SL are playing like the team of old - when any and every chase was carefully managed till the 40th over. And then, the team would go berserk and finish off the match! So, SL has a chance of upsetting India. If that happens , then the last 2 league games will be virtual quarter-final games. India versus SA and SL versus Pak - whichever teams win will make it through to the semis. India will stand to benefit even if the rains wash off the game - better run rate! So, here's hoping SL win today's match to keep the group alive....even if the games are boring, the results will atleast leave people waiting with bated breath.
