One more lame excuse these players don't have any problem when they play 2 game in 2 different countries on the same day in my leagues all over the world but when it come to international cricket they have problem in schedule where are there respective boards when schedule was being decided can't they say that both semis will be played in dubai if Pakistan doesn't reach semis but India does or both semis would be played in Pakistan if India doesn't reach semis

Only round robbin would stop all conspiracy theory Instead of group stage game Indian team play matches in dubai
Pakistan play all opponent match in pakistan other 6 teams divide their matches half half in dubai and in pakistan also gap of matches very odd coz of group system indian team last group game I feel happen very late which hampered schedule of semi finals

India is also missing leader of their bowling attack apart from shami who is also not on his peak of fitness our pace attack also lack experience

Yeah. But he's available for selection atleast and also delivered his best. Just look at the Australian side for example. Literally half of their playing xi is forced to change due to injuries/unavailability/ retirement. No prime pace bowlers at all.
But still they make it to the knockouts, credits to their batting lineup.
Then one can imagine how they would have performed if they have their usual players in the playing xi.
