So - one of the semi-finals went according to script. One did not! Pak beat England (amazing really) while India beat Bangladesh equally convincingly! So, today, the Indo-Pak is happening again (exactly 2 weeks after the group match).
I was about to type that Pak were headed for a 350+ score, with Fakhar Zaman having a chance of scoring 200! Well, he got our before I could type that :(
So, 201/2 after 33.3 overs. Pak can get to 320/330 and if this is finally a typical English pitch (not the ones in this tournament - the ones that were part of the Eng-NZ series 2 years back and since then), India will win with enough wickets in hand and some overs to spare. I mean, this can become a typical boring run chase. Lets hope Pak tries to create some interest; both with the bat and with the ball.
