At this point I don think they even bring change in playing XI

Next is Semi

They should ve given them chance in any of d matches of group stage

Now turn for our bowlers to do the magic & stop giving them boundaries & 6s

So this is what happens when Rohit Sharma bats beyond the powerplay in an important World Cup game. A knock of paramount promotions that has pulverized Australia into a pulp and made the memories of 19th November seem a little less gloomy for the time being. Kohli was out without scoring, but Rohit was in the mood from the get go. Starc erred by going too full against Rohit, and the Indian skipper devoured those like a glutton at an all you can eat buffet. He smoked two sixes over covers, and slogged one over mid-wicket to eke out 29 runs off that over. Rohit went on the offensive against Cummins as well, getting to his 50 in 19 balls. Hazlewood however kept things tight as he conceded just 10 off his 3 overs to ensure the powerplay ended at 60/1.

Post that, Zampa was welcomed with a six by Pant and Rohit added another good measure later in the over. Australia however got a claw back as Pant’s leading edge found a fielder off Stoinis’ bowling. India however continued to attack as SKY got going with a six and a four, while Sharma added two more maximums to his name. He looked destined for a century but a superb inswinging yorker from Starc ended the knock at 92. The wicket brought about a period of some control for Australia, as Suryakumar also felll a few overs later after a quick cameo of 32. Hazlewood, Zampa and Cummins bowled a few tight overs as India had a lean patch. Hardik Pandya tried to give the innings some impetus as he smoked two sixes off Stoinis, and helped India climb past 200.

Jaddu 6

All hit 6 except Kohli

Suryakumar Yadav: Felt like a dream (watching Rohit Sharma bat), he batted beautifully. We sat together and talked about it before the game and he (Rohit) showed us the way. I think they finished it really well. It's a good wicket, a good score, we respect it, hopefully there will be something in it for the bowlers. Everyone in the team knows their roles and responsibilities.

If Australia chase this down inside 15.3 overs, they will qualify for the semis. If not, India are assured of a semifinal spot
