South Africa Captain Faf du Plessis Predicts India-England Final
Manchester: South Africa captain Faf du Plessis believes India would be “really happy” as they would be facing New Zealand in the semifinals of the ongoing World Cup as the form of the Black Caps has dipped in their last three games of the tournament. du Plessis also predicted that England will defeat Australia and will meet the Men in Blue in the finals to be held on July 14. “I think India would be really happy that we won today. New Zealand’s form has dipped in the last three games, so I would probably say an India-England final. I think India and Australia have played the big games really well, so I would back one of them at the biggest stage of all,” du Plessis said after Saturday’s game.
The Proteas had a disappointing campaign in this World Cup as they managed to win just three games and ended at the sixth spot with seven points. “We have played inconsistent cricket. We guys need to lift the team and win the games on their own. We weren’t at our best,” said the Proteas skipper who scored a brilliant hundred against the Aussies at the Old Trafford. IANS
