India storms into super six stage of World Cup
30th May 1999     
By Ajay Chaturvedi & Ravish Mishra

India has registered big victory over England with a comprehensive margin of 63 runs. England was bowled out for 169 runs in 45.2 overs. Saurabh Ganguly was adjudicated the man of the match for this match at Edgbaston.

What a win for India to go into the super six? Finally, it was the net run rate that did the trick for India, eliminating England in the process.

The Indian boys, led by Azhar, went into the remaining match on May 30, fully charged. They did not give any quarter to England and went to the victory very confidently.

Azhar attributed the victory to the team effort. “Our job is to win all the games from now on,” said Azhar.

But, the competition will be tougher in the super six stage. And, even tougher in the semi final stage.

Another advantage for India with today's victory is that it now stands a fair chance in the super six stage of making it to the semi final stage in the coming days.

When India had lost its first two matches, to South Africa and Zimbabwe, the entry into the super six looked impossible?

In the league stage, India came back after two stupid defeats. There will be no margin for error at the super six stage.

In the Group A Table, India is on top in net run rate and number two in match points.

From Group A, India, South Africa and Zimbabwe go into the super six. England is knocked out with today's defeat. England was never in the race in today's match.

The matches of the super six stage start on June 4. India will play a match that day against the number two side in Group B.

The Indians look very confident; having beaten hosts England in England. Can they be stopped from lifting the world cup? If confidence can win matches, India has the world cup in the pocket.
