The third game in a row that has two semi final contenders in the line up sees India take on England in an important match today.
India are playing at home and are favourites for the title whereas the English were given a good scare against minnows the Netherlands last week. This should make for an entertaining match, but don’t be surprised if you see the Indians wiping the floor with the Poms.

A tie.. Left shaking my head..”England shoudve won it”..jip,that sums it up..actually ,it has just been summed up better by the eng commentator(botham)..”They won it,then they lost it,and in the end they tied it”..
Wonder if that’s the first World Cup tie.
Great result for SA!
She must have lost her voice. What an anticlimax.
I guess a kiss from ones sistter is better than no kiss at all!
No excuses for the Proteas not qualifying now! 😆

Good game.
