I think for T20 was 50 is a blowout. For ODI it would be 75-100+ for it to be blowout

In the end it will be a massive blow out win for Australia with India slowly crawling past 8/200 in 40 overs after being 7/135 after 24 overs.

Australia should win by 150+

The final winning margin was 185 runs.

In Alyssa Healy’s final ODI match, she even had a chance of bowling. She bowled just 2 overs

India defeated West Indies by five wickets in the final Super 8 match in Kolkata overnight, thanks to wicketkeeper Samju Samson who struck 97. The result means India will face England in the second semi final in Mumbai on Thursday night, local time, while South Africa will play against New Zealand in the first semi final in Kolkata on Wednesday night.

New Zealand are through to the T20 World Cup final, following a nine-wicket win over South Africa in the first semi final. The Proteas had won seven in a row leading into last night’s match, including an easy seven-wicket win over the Black Caps in the group stages.

Happy that NZ won but the toss is WAY too decisive in these night games, too much dew around. The nature of T20 means that chasing sides are already at an advantage and dew magnifies this.

Barring a gargantuan score, I think it’s a case of ‘win the toss, win the match’ for the next two as well. Let’s hope India get unlucky with the coin.

Although not ideal from a ratings perspective (which means, not ideal at all), these games would have been more competitive if staged in the afternoon.

I agree with you @dxnerd . But it’s all about the ratings.
