    3/15(4)
So, India have now moved into the third spot courtesy of another thumping victory. However, they will still need another such win and also depend on the result of the game between Afghanistan and New Zealand. That game is on Sunday, 7th November though. On Saturday, there are two crucial games which will help us find out which two teams along with England will go through from Group 1. First, Australia will face West Indies and that will be followed by England locking horns with South Africa. All to play for, for those sides, action there begins at 2 pm Local and (10 am GMT) and the second will be at 6 pm Local (2 pm GMT). See you there. Till then, take care and goodbye!
The Indian skipper and the birthday boy, Virat Kohli, says that they are sitting just under the semi-final cut-off line and they would see what happens on 7th November. Adds that things did not go well for them in the first two games and losing the toss also hurt them. Informs that they wanted to restrict Scotland to around 100-120 and then chase it down. Says that they targeted to chase it down in 8-10 overs but is happy that they did it earlier. Adds that they played really well in the warm-up games but a couple of overs of bad phase in the first couple of games hurt them. Credits Shami and Jadeja for the way they bowled and he is pleased that everyone is performing well. Informs that having his family here in these times is a celebration for him.
Kyle Coetzer, the skipper of Scotland, says that they were outclassed totally but they will improve after this type of game. Adds that Mark Watt has been excellent for them. Tells that the players will find some positive out of this. Says that Michael Leask is a fantastic player for them and is lovely to watch him play.
Ravindra Jadeja is the Player of the Match, he says that he was enjoying bowling as the ball was turning. Says that the first wicket was a special one. Adds that they knew that they have to win by a big margin and they played well. Tells that if they play like this no one can beat them and hopes they continue to play like this.
Stay tuned for the presentation.
Really not sure what positive can one write for Scotland! It was a day to forget for them. First, they were bowled out for just the 85. They then had to push this game beyond the 8th over but they have failed to do that too. Just nothing went their way. The only thing they can be happy about is the two wickets they got but that too after a real pounding. It just was not their day or probably not their World Cup.
A total carnage and it had to be! India needed to chase this down within 43 balls and they have done so without breaking a sweat. KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma did take a couple of balls to get their eye but once they did, they just smashed the ball to all parts of the ground. Both fell but by then the job was done. Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav walked in and ensured the effort by the openers did not go in vain. A win for India was never in doubt, the only question was, will they do it within 7.1 overs and they have done it with 4 balls to spare.
