Australia draw with New Zealand
  
Man of the match: Tim McIntosh

Australia qualify for the Semis as in the case of a draw, the higher ranked team goes through. Interesting journey for NZ, they didnt win or lose a single game!

Semi-Finals:

England (Game 3 Winner) Vs India (Game 5) - Nottingham
Australia (Game 4 Winner) Vs South Africa (Game 6) - The Oval

Very Exciting Games lined for the Semi's!!
​

 

[CG123]

Dam, had to win but Aussie's batting was just too good.
Lot's of positives for a normally struggling test team, as we were able to post two big totals.

 

[Varun]

Now South Africa is going to create wonders...

Can you explain me the fixtures? South Africa haven't played a prelim. Direct into semis?

Can you explain me the fixtures? South Africa haven't played a prelim. Direct into semis?

In the 1st Round the bottom 4 teams played a game against a fellow bottom 4 team (WI Vs SRI & Pak Vs NZL). The two winning teams (NZL & SRI) qualified for Round 2 and played the 3rd and the 4th teams (AUS & ENG). then the 2 winning teams (Eng & Aus) of Round 2 progressed to the semi-finals and will play the top 2 teams (Ind & Saf). The two winning teams of the semi finals will play with each other in the final.
