I believe that we will be in the first semi which is at 1.30am Thursday with the other semi at 3.30pm on the same day
Edit - this is wrong. If India win their group we will play them in the second semi at 3.30pm. However, if India finish runners up, they will still play in the second semi and England will play at 1.30am in the first. This is due to the ICC wanting to promote the game to the biggest possible audience.
*This is due to the ICC being run by the BCCI who get unfair advantages over all other teams
Wouldn't do them a favour if they finish second and the second semi final is rained off.

Then they'd be knocked out without playing.
Yeah that bit is crazy. I can't understand not having a reserve day. I don't actually know what happens in that scenario, does the higher ranked Super 8 team go through?

Yes the team that finished first in their super 8 group would go through (ie. South Africa) if India are in the semi final as runner up.
I know it's highly unlikely it'll happen but does anyone with a clue about NRR, know what Australia and Afghanistan would need to win by to put India out?
Give him a chance - he has only just gone to bed.
If batting first, Australia would need to beat India by roughly 40-50 runs and Afghanistan beat Bangladesh by 80-90 runs.
If batting second, Australia need to chase the target in around 15-16 overs and Afghanistan chase in around 10-11 overs.
It's safe to say that with India on 102-2 off 9 overs, Australia are not going to chase down India's ultimate total in 16 overs.

India 43 for 1 after 4.1 overs, rain stopped play.
When we get him out for a duck I might have a semi of my own.
Nah.
