T20 World Cup 2026: India’s fate will depend on the match to be held today between West Indies and South Africa. If India wants to make it to the semi-finals, it will depend on South Africa and West Indies. South Africa’s victory can be beneficial for India. Whereas the victory of West Indies can increase problems for India. Let us explain the complete equation to you in detail.

Which team is occupying top-2 position in Group-1?

At present, West Indies remains on top with 2 points after winning 1 match, as their net run rate is +5.350. After them, South Africa is in second place, which has 2 points with one win in 1 match and its net run rate is +3.800. Team India is at third place in the points table, while Zimbabwe is at fourth place. Both the teams have played 1-1 matches, both have lost 1-1 matches.

Which team’s victory will benefit India?

If West Indies loses the match between South Africa and West Indies, India will benefit. South African team can increase India’s problems. If India wants to make it to the semi-finals, then South Africa will have to hope to win three matches. There will be a chance to become the second team from Group-1 to reach the semi-finals by defeating Zimbabwe and West Indies.

If West Indies wins this match, then India will again have to completely depend on Zimbabwe to register a big win over South Africa. It is difficult for this to happen. South Africa has been playing well in the tournament and has not lost a single match so far. In such a situation, it seems a bit difficult for Zimbabwe to defeat him. Because if Zimbabwe loses, then both South Africa and West Indies can reach the semi-finals on the basis of better run rate and India can be out.

West Indies can become an obstacle in India’s path

At present India’s net run rate is -3.380, which remains a matter of concern for them. The easy way for India to reach the semi-finals is if South Africa beats West Indies. After this, India should defeat Zimbabwe in its second match today and India should defeat West Indies in the final match. In such a situation, they will have 2 points in 3 matches, whereas India will have 4 points in 3 matches and India will easily make it to the semi-finals. But defeating West Indies is not going to be easy for both South Africa and India.
