England vs. New Zealand
Jul 03, 2019
England beat the Kiwis to go through the semi-finals for the first time since 1992. The vicious scoring rate of the top order was enough to seal the match.
It was just a few days ago when New Zealand was ranked number one in the tournament. After three straight losses, they're now number four. They've lost every quantum of momentum. Still, they will go through to the semis to likely face ... Australia! I already feel sorry for New Zealand. Their next match will be remembered as The Massacre of the Kiwis.
The other semi-final will likely be a re-match: England vs. India. Before the tournament began, I wanted them to meet in the finals with England finally getting the trophy. Let's see if they click and beat the tough Indians again.
Commiserations. If there is any silver lining it is the end of comparison with 1992. It was really stupid.
