"Pretty Much Know Who No.1 Is Going To Be": Dinesh Karthik On Cricket World Cup 2023 Semis Line-Up

Wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik firmly believes that India's thumping victory over England, their sixth victory in a row, is sufficient to seal their place in the semifinals of the World Cup. India scored 229/9 after some hiccups in the low-scoring game and it proved to be enough as England lost their top batters to the fiery bowling spell of Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah. India won by 100 runs. "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," Kathik said in ICC Review.
