Why is Semi-Finals the biggest test for India than Finals?

Team India won Bangladesh by 28 runs on Tuesday and qualified to Semi-finals of ICC World Cup 2019. India is the second team to get qualified to the Semis.

So far India has won every match it played except for two. India lost to England and the match between India and New Zealand has been cancelled due to rain. England and New Zealand are playing the match today.

If England wins the match, the team will move to 3rd position in the table and India will be playing the Semis with that team. Considering the team has already performed poorly in batting and bowling against England, India will be facing serious challenge on the field.

However, if England loses the match today and New Zealand wins, New Zealand will retain their 3rd position and play against India in Semis. However, since India has never played with New Zealand, it will be a tough match as well.

Pakistan might stand a chance to enter Semis if they win the match against Bangladesh and if England loses the match.

However, the order may change if India beats Sri Lanka and Australia loses to South Africa, then India will take the first position and the opponent might change. Whatever it is, India is set to face a serious game.
