There wasn't much more joy for India, although the washout was a reasonable outcome for them given Australia's solid batting. However, India need to find some spark to hammer a West Indies side that has fought well in this tournament, and they must also hope for a Pakistan win against Ponting's men. Australia's fate is in their own hands.
India have another potential hurdle on the way to a spot in the semi-finals. Depending on the outcome of other matches, they may well need to win their last qualifying match, against West Indies at the Wanderers. This would appear to be a hurdle no bigger than that encountered in a 400-metre race but it could easily turn into a daunting Grand-National-steeplechase obstacle because the Wanderers pitch has pace and bounce.
The West Indies batting is abysmal, even for a second-string international side, but they do have some good pace-bowling options in Kemar Roach, Gavin Tonge and Darren Sammy. If India were to experience problems coping with the extra bounce, as they did at the World Twenty20, then this might not be the simple stepping stone to the semi-finals it appears on paper.
