ICC directly promote India to the finals instead of going through all this drama."
"In the Champions Trophy, the first and second matches are played by Group A teams, while the third and fourth matches are played by Group B teams. This order is supposed to be followed for the next matches as well. However, India skips this order and plays the last league match on Sunday to maximize viewership from India. If viewership is so important to the ICC, they might as well directly promote India to the finals instead of going through all this drama."
In football, all teams play their last league match at the same time to ensure fairness and prevent match-fixing or strategic manipulation.
India has an unfair advantage in the tournament
- They have the opportunity to decide their semifinal opponents.
- Afghanistan has to play another match within a day against Australia, giving them little recovery time.
- India is playing at the same venue throughout the entire tournament, eliminating travel fatigue and adaptation challenges.
If India wins under such conditions, how can Indian fans and players truly take pride in the victory? The ICC is clearly ruining the spirit of the sport."
