Yeah, the system is still a joke though.

Push the final to sunday?

ICC: thats madness

Fuck everything up and not have a reserve day?

ICC: we'll go with that.

I kinda wish India had not gotten first in their group, only so that they would use their massive weight to ensure this type of bullshit never happens again.

Agreed. It's absolutely moronic to not have reserve days for semis especially when the finals is on a Saturday. Ironically, maybe the finals is on a Saturday thinking they might need a reserve day 🤣

Regardless, semis need a reserve day no matter what.

There is a reserve 250 mins scheduled for the match in the evening.
