This edition of the T20 World Cup has seen it all, including a dash of controversy, and it’s not over yet, so cricket lovers can brace for more

It’s probably the perfect T20 World Cup semi-final line-up from a marketing perspective. Well, almost, considering any tournament driver would want the hosts and defending champions in the semi-finals. Unfortunately for the Australian cricket-loving public, their team had a pile of problems and exited earlier than expected. Some of those cricket lovers—considering New Zealand make up a part of the Trans-Tasman rivalry—wouldn’t have wanted the Kiwis in the Last 4.
This has been a fascinating World Cup in which cricket enthusiasts are drawing an array of similarities—different formats notwithstanding —on social media. Like how India lost only one game (to South Africa) in the group stages in the 2011 World Cup and now too. Hence, they will win just like Mahendra Singh Dhoni & Co did way back then. Another similarity brought up is Ireland beating England.
