The 1st semi-final in Sydney will be played between the Winner of Group 1 (New Zealand) and the Runner-up of Group 2 (Pakistan), whereas the 2nd semi-final will be played between the Winner of Group 2 (India) and the Runner-up of Group 1 (England).
ICC have also made a new rule for the semi-final and final of the tournament that a minimum of 10 overs should be played in both innings in order to complete a match. According to the current DLS, 5-over per innings is enough, but that won’t be the case in the semi-final of the tournament.
