From what we have seen in the past few games, they are more than capable of missing out on the final with the way Sri Lanka and South Africa have played. You can see the way they crumble under pressure. When there is no pressure, they look really good and are tough to beat. But they panic under pressure and they looked awful and vulnerable the other night.
