THE LAST FOUR STANDING

Here’s a look at the teams that have qualified for the semifinals and how they stand...

WEST INDIES

A bevy of T20 specialists, the Caribbeans were always in the running despite the problems with the board back home. Many of them play the IPL, so they are well-versed with the conditions. They have looked good but the hiccup in the last game against Afghanistan shows their unpredictable side.

ENGLAND

After the 2015 WC heartbreak, they have come back strongly in limited-overs cricket. With Joe Root in top gear, they look a solid batting line-up and have good utility players. Their only loss came against West Indies, and that was due to a typical Chris Gayle knock.

INDIA

NEW ZEALAND

The only ones to remain unbeaten in the league phase, New Zealand have shown the ability to make smart decisions. They have ample talent and all-round players but their decision to bank on their spinners has caught everyone by surprise. A one-man army, India have been fortunate to get through to the semifinals from a tough group, partly due to luck and partly due to the brilliance of Virat Kohli. The way Kohli is batting, it seems India don’t need anyone else to fire.
