Now that India, South Africa and Australia are confirmed semi-finalists, the demand for tickets is expected to sky-rocket. There has been a lot of criticism for ICC and BCCI for not being able to manage the ticket sale properly. This will be their and platform Book My Show's final test.

Second-ranked South Africa will face Australia in one of the two semi-finals. This is confirmed irrespective of the result in South Africa and Australia's last group-stage fixture. The other semi-final featuring India, however, is expected to see a three-way battle among New Zealand, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

With England, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Netherlands out of reckoning, India's opponents in the semi-final will be determined based on the outcomes of the final three matches of New Zealand, Afghanistan and Pakistan. India will play their semi-final in Mumbai unless it is against Pakistan. If Pakistan qualify as the fourth-ranked team then India will travel to Kolkata for their semi-final.
