I think with this win and with what happened yesterday (Australia defeating New Zealand), we are locked in for the four semi-finalists. It could be a tournament where it has been decided early and it looks more likely it will be the case unless something extraordinary happens, which I personally don't think will happen. We have the four semi-finalists, it's just a matter of who is going to be No.2, No.3 and No.4. I think we pretty much know who No.1 is going to be, so it is going to be a question of who is going to be facing India and who No.2 and No.3 are. It is not being cocky, its just with their quality of cricket they are playing. 

Team India's brilliant run in the ODI World Cup 2023 

The Indian cricket team has displayed brilliant cricket in all departments from its first match of the tournament. The team has been able to overcome every hurdle in the tournament and five different players from the team have won Player of the Match award in the first five matches. The Indian team is the prime contender to win the CWC 2023 and bring the back the trophy home after the span of 12 years.
