After losing the 1st match of the Super Eight’s to the West Indies, India has put itself in a rather difficult position to qualify for the semi-finals. Now, India has no option but to win all the matches of the Super Eights until it qualifies for the next round. The interesting factor is that India can still be out qualified by West Indies and South Africa, despite winning both the matches. England seems to be out of touch and frankly, I don't see them making into the next round. South Africa, as of today has already made it to the next round. If India wins both its matches and West Indies defeats England, then the match will be decided on the run rate factor. Thus, expect both India and West Indies to try and milk the English team to increase their run rate as it could be deciding factor between the fates of the two teams. However, the Indian team will be looking for a lucky break if England can manage to defeat West Indies on home soil.
