New Delhi. The semi -finals from India in the Champions Trophy have created a wonderful situation. In this semi -finals to be held on March 4, only 2 teams will clash. But for its preparation, two teams will be present in Dubai besides India. These teams are Australia and South Aprika. On March 2, when India and New Zealand are playing the last group matches, then the teams of Australia and South Africa will also be present in Dubai. While the second semi -final is to be played in Pakistan.
If you are wondering why this is so, then the answer is hidden in the hybrid model of the ICC Champions Trophy. Under this model, India will play its semi -finals in Dubai on March 4. This match will be against Australia or South Africa. South Africa’s team defeated England to number one in Group B. Australia stood second. But it is not yet decided which team India will clash with. India-New Zealand match will decide which team will be at number one in Group A. The team, which is number one in Group A, will face Australia. Group B’s second team will play from South Africa.
Since on March 2, it will not be the evening whether India faces Australia or South Africa. Due to this, both Australia and South Africa want to live in Dubai on March 2 so that whoever has to play there on March 4, he gets one day opportunity for preparation. The team which will not compete with India will return to Pakistan on March 3. Then she will compete with New Zealand on 5 March.
The ICC has already maintained the schedule of Australia and South Africa to Dubai. Australia’s team will reach Dubai on March 1. The South African team will go to Dubai on 2 March. The team which will compete with India will stop in Dubai.
