For India to enter semi finals, Pak must beat Australia. Pak has already qualified for the semi finals, the first team from Group A to enter. And on the same day, India needs to beat West Indies with a better run rate than Australia.

IRONY IS a word that surprises us with new situations every time we think this is it. What else will explain the millions of Indians praying for Pakistan to win on Wednesday (September 30), against Australia in the ongoing Champions Trophy?

As India’s luck turned sour because of the rain that swept away the match against Australia, the fight to enter the fray got tougher. Australia chose to bat first and was 234 for 4 from 42.3 overs. After it was abandoned, both the teams were awarded one point each. It took Australia’s points to a total of three while India has just one point in its kitty. India lost its first match against Pakistan by 54 runs.

For India to enter semi finals now, Pakistan must beat Australia. Pakistan has already qualified for the semi finals, the first team from Group A to enter. And it’s not only that. On the same day, India needs to beat West Indies with a better run rate than Australia.

The dream to get to the top of the ICC ODI list and become the best team in the world may not be so easy after all, however close the points may be.
