Indeed, I'm going to get on to that because hosts Sri Lanka, they qualified, as did West Indies, because they won a Super Over against New Zealand to qualify from Group 1.

So it was Sri Lanka and West Indies that qualified at the expense of England and New Zealand.

And then in Group 2, there was a three-way tie, Australia, Pakistan and India, all with two wins.

Final group match against South Africa.

India needed to win by 31 runs to qualify.

They, in the end, won by one run, eliminated all the net run rates.

So through went Australia and Pakistan.

Not a bit of it.

Real shock.

I mean, it almost seems implausible India wouldn't qualify for a knockout stage.

Yeah.

South Africa didn't win a single game in that group.

They were eliminated despite the fact of having a side captain by AB de Villiers.

Hashi Mamla was there.

Duplessis, Dumini, Callis, Morning Morcal.

Dale Steyn was part of that squad.

It was a brilliant side.

But perhaps you look at it and you think, well, the big strength was perhaps the fast bowling and not necessarily those friendlier conditions.

And so it was a side that fell away.

And so we headed to the semi-finals where Sri Lanka took on Pakistan.
