England not only faced K.Pieterson and S.Broad absence but also the controversial umpiring. But at the last they emerge as a winner. Well done England.

If you think that will happen, then that might happen.
But If you think that that might not happen then there are perfectly good chances that that might not happen at all and you are thinking the Ifs purely for the sake of creating some mental gymnastics.
Which If you are, are good and normally accepted human behaviour but If you are not then I can't say!

But my question remains... If England can beat SA and Bangla beat England, why Bangla can't beat SA?

If India crashed to less then 166 runs against W.Indies and beat by W.I. then English team qualify for Q.Final.

I still remember in 20-world Cup S.Africa needed 121 for Semi against India but failed to do it and they were out of contention. This is game Cricket Game no one predidct rightly, anything happend at any movment. So please watch proceedings and pray to God India Qualify for Q.Final.
England won against SA and WI not because they are a superior team but because the opposition gifted away their matches. We would have won against England had it not been for the umpiring decision against Bell. In yesterday's match also when Anderson caught the catch his feet touched the rope. It should have been a sixer. Pure luck for them! So,England is not a superior team as some bloggers below project them to be.

India beat Bangla, Bangla beat Ireland, Ireland beat England, England beat South Afrika and Sourth Beat India. Who is best among all?
there may be an MCC in england and australia or an eden gardens in kolkatta. but chennai has hosted the best international matches thany any other venue. the tied australia india test, hirwani's 16 wkts agains west indies, india australia test where india won by 3 wkts(laxman's series), india pakistan test match which india lost and many more. the spectators in chepauk are a spolit lot as they have happened to witness the most number of thrilling matches.
Group B rocks....all the matches is reaching the climax....England proved by beating SA,WI & draw with India they can beat any team of group B irrespective of standings,Aussies unbeaten run of 34 matches in WC can be broken by England in QF,i want any team of group B to win the World cup.

iits all an arrangement to tie the viewers to the tv. al l ind matches were fixed. even eng match is fixed so that the interest level in the wc dont deteriorate
Now that England won the match, more problems for India. If Bangladesh wins against SA, it will be do or die for India against WI.
As usual India lands into such kind of do-die situations because of non-international class brainless bowlers and non competent brainless lower order batting. Our bowlers need to show class bowling and lower order batsmen should apply brain and play shots according to situation
Pardon me for this distraction, dear friends, but lest we forget, Somdev Devvarman deserves a round of applause for his victory over Baghdatis and more importantly, for his grit in the match against Nadal, where our hero lost, but "he fought like a man".
