The cut off time is 21.25. It is raining heavily. There are huge puddles in the ground and it doesn’t look like the match between India and Australia will resume.

In case of a wash out Pakistan will make it to the semis but they will have to beat Australia if they want to play Semi final at Centurion where the conditions suit them. Pakistan will not like to face England at Wanderers as the conditions at Wanderers Stadium ideally suit the English team.

It will be hard for India to qualify for Semis even if Australia loses to Pakistan
Australia’s current NRR  =1.000 and India’s current NRR = -1.080. India will have to win from West Indies with a huge margin and Australia will have to lose from Pakistan with a considerable margin.

India’s match against West Indies is at Wanderers, the West Indian team has played  all of it’s matches at that venue their bowling becomes quite handful in those conditions that makes it even tougher for India to beat them with a considerable margin. The Odds are stacked up against the Indian team most likely they will also crash out.

The wash out of todays match has made the game between Pakistan and Australia much more interesting it will be a semi final like situation and the outcome of that match will have many implications.
