At face value, the Proteas missed out on the semi-finals by Net Run Rate despite beating tournament favourites England in their final game. Is it as simple as that?

On Cricket Fanatics Magazine’s Sunday Podcast, Khalid, Aditya, Abhai, and Mpho discussed the reasons for South Africa and India getting knocked out of the tournament.

The panel argued that South Africa were undone by a lack of planning and execution at the tournament. With respect to India, the panel discussed a variety of reasons for the team getting knocked out of the tournament, including poor selection, lack of role clarity, and tactical ineptitude.

The panel was also engaged in an animated discussion about the structure of the tournament, as well as the advantage of winning the toss in these conditions.
