T-20 Cricket World Cup 2014: Worry-free India, Endangered Australia

T-20 Cricket World Cup 2014

If someone had said before the tournament starts, Australia will be looking at Bangladesh for playing in semi-final. George Bailey certainly looked with incredible eye! The team came up with it one of the favorites for the title. But they have lost two consecutive matches and reached on the edge of the shaft. Bailey's team now, so have to really look on Bangladesh! If today Bangladesh will lose the first match at Mirpur against Pakistan, then India - Australia match will be the match of the rule. Then on 1st April, Pakistan - West Indies match will be the unofficial 'quarter-final'! The winning team of that match will be India's partner of this group in semi final.

If Bangladesh will win, a little bit of hops will alive for Australia. Then Australia will be looking to win their remaining two matches and also it depends on Pakistan - West Indies match.  If Pakistan will win that match then the calculation will come  of run rate.

This difficult equation is not unknown to Australia, Bailey has persuaded the day before yesterday after losing against West Indies, 'We have not yet calculated, However, I realize that the situation has become much harder for us. Before the start of the tournament we thought a defeat maybe not too much damage. But now I am not sure will we able to manage the loss of two defeats or not'.

Australia is now uncertain to play in the semi final, however, India is now worry free to play in the semi final. After South Africa - New Zealand tour and due to the failure of the Asia Cup India team were not favorite branded in T-20 Cricket World Cup 2014. However, IPL scandals rocked the Indian cricket. As the first team to put away those debates they have reached in the semifinals of the tournament and India gets an opportunity to examine them today against Australia.
