It's T20, so there's never a foregone conclusion, but I think England will have to play a blinder to beat India.
so do I
but, I'll re-iterate... India only managed one partnership themselves against Australia, albeit a belter. Early wickets in the semi and India might look vulnerable.... it feels to me as if all India's runs are with Mandhana, Raj and Kaur. Get them early......... hey, it's T20.... anything can happen
'Missing' Brunt, and 'no show' Knight have pretty much hamstrung England. Plus no runs for Beaumont, who normally features near the top of the runs stats and it isn't surprising that England are spluttering along
Biggest disappointment for me was NZ. I thought they'd be much better than that. There is a suspicion for me (but based on nothing, really), that Satterthwaite might be an awful captain. I don't know why I think that, but I do. If she is replaced as skip in the fairly near future, I'll know I was right
