T20 WC Semis Scenario: Even two wins are not enough, Team India is badly stuck in the race for the semi-finals, know what is the system of nature.

News India Live, Digital Desk: After the crushing defeat against South Africa, Team India’s Net Run Rate (NRR) has fallen badly to -1.450. India has now slipped to third place in the points table of Group-1. Cricket pundits believe that just victory is not enough for India, it also needs a ‘miracle’. Intricate equation of semi-finals for India (Qualification Scenarios) India still has to play two more matches against Netherlands (25 February) and West Indies (27 February). Scenario 1: Why the problem even after winning both the matches? If India wins the next two matches, then it will have 4 points. But if South Africa and West Indies also win their remaining matches, then the matter will get stuck on ‘net run rate’. Since India’s run rate is very poor, it will have to beat Netherlands and West Indies by huge margins (at least 50+ runs or 5-6 overs to spare). Scenario 2: If West Indies beats South Africa? India’s best chance will be if West Indies beats South Africa. In such a situation, the three teams of the group can have 4-4 points. Then the semi-finals will be decided entirely on the basis of run rate. Scenario 3: Even one loss means ‘pack up’. If Team India loses even one of the next two matches, then it will officially be out of the race for the semi-finals.

Expert Opinion: “India succumbed to both their bowling and batting against South Africa. Now they will have to pray that the West Indies team does not defeat South Africa by a big margin, otherwise the doors will be closed for India.”
