2 matches that I wished we would've seen were Australia vs England and India vs England.
This is probably the most roller-coaster kind of ride to the final. In almost every game they seemed near defeat, and mostly somehow got themselves on the winning side
Pleased to see the best 2 teams get there to the final, hope it´s a good one
