Doesn't really matter IMO, not sure there's any great advantage to playing the team that finishes 2 in the other group instead of 1.
I'd much rather play South Africa, so I reckon there is.

Interesting. While India know how close out games better than the South Africans and seem to have momentum on their side, I don’t think South Africa’s bowling (including the spinners) is a particularly favourable matchup for NZ’s batting. I guess the warmup doesn’t count for much, but I think it showed if there’s one side capable of exposing NZ’s batting lineup with Santner at 7 it’s South Africa.

Knockouts are just who has a lucky day twice.

Been thinking about this and my thoughts is that India would be better for us to play.
We have the wood on them in recent years when it comes to knockout matches, and the way SA done us like a dinner recently makes me think
that we aren't as comfortable with their style of play....but who knows.
I actually reckon the extra pace on works for us. Conway, Allen and Williamson all prefer it coming on and in Rabada, Nortje, Ngidi and to a lesser extent Parnell, you get that (unless they play Maharaj over Ngidi). Not particularly scared of a lot in SA's top order, either.

I'm only 2km down the road from the SCG and you wouldn't believe the heavens have just opened up and it's pelting down.
Hard to imagine we'll get any game in today, which is terrible fortune for the English supporters.

Yeah it’s pelting down here on God’s Peninsula. About 4kms away as the crow flies.
Very bad news for England you would think. then again they dodged a bullet with the washout against Aus so they’re due to have it turn against them

As you speak it's actually getting heavier here, going to be a late start if any.

What score will Sri Lanka need to have a chance? It’s a used pitch and they have 3 spinners but England have a gun batting side so I would say around 170?

There's even a few hail stones now, don't think play's coming anytime soon.
