The historic defeat against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup has made it difficult for Team India. After the defeat in this match, now the Indian team will have to win their remaining four matches in the tournament, otherwise, they may face England on reaching the semi-finals, which is currently considered very difficult to beat in T20 cricket.
Now if you lose even a single match, then the competition of the last 4 will be based on the figures.
Apart from Pakistan in the Indian team group, there are teams from New Zealand, Afghanistan, Namibia, and Scotland. If seen from the traditional point of view, Team India, New Zealand, and Pakistan will easily win against the two associate countries Namibia and Scotland, that is, all the three teams are sure to get 2-2 points in these matches.
Talking about the match against Afghanistan, the victory or defeat of all three teams will depend on their performance on the day of the match, because the Afghanistan team can make any upset in T20 cricket. If we assume that all the three teams from Afghanistan will also win their respective matches, then Pakistan will be on top of the group with 8 points, while India-New Zealand will be second with 6-6 points.
While India will have to beat New Zealand to make their 8 points to reach the semi-finals, it will also have to hope that Pakistan also gets a win over New Zealand. In such a situation, the Indian team will get the semi-final ticket by staying at number two. If New Zealand's team is successful in defeating Pakistan, then all the three teams in the group will have 8-8 points. In these circumstances, the ticket for the semi-finals will be decided by the run average, in which any team can go ahead.
The performance of the England team in T20 cricket during the last few years has been tremendous. On this basis, he is considered to be number one by winning all the matches in his group. England is also consistently at number one in the ICC World T20 rankings, which shows its strength.
If India finishes second in their group, they will face England in the semi-finals. In such a situation, a tough challenge may arise for him in the way of the final. On the other hand, if he has to face Australia, Sri Lanka, or South Africa in the semi-finals, then his chances of winning will be slightly higher.
