Actually, due to the crushing defeat against South Africa, the semi-final equation has become a bit complicated for the Indian team. However, after this defeat, India made a comeback by defeating Bangladesh. The Indian team is also at second position in the points table of Group-A. All the teams in this group have played 4-4 matches, but so far only Australia has been able to reach the semi-finals.

Now only one seat is left for the semi-finals, for which the race is going on between India and South Africa.
