Two losses and two wins, that is what India’s campaign has been at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 Group 2 stage. The side had lost to Pakistan and New Zealand but went on to win against Afghanistan and Scotland.
India’s net run rate is above Afghanistan and obviously, New Zealand. However, this all would be useless if New Zealand win their match against Afghanistan.
How can India still qualify for the semis?
In the upcoming encounter between Afghanistan and New Zealand on Sunday, a win by the Black Caps could render India’s match against Namibia, which will be just a mere formality. However, if Afghanistan manages an unlikely upset, it will leave the Kiwis reeling at 6 points, and then things could go in India’s favour.
So soon after India vs Scotland clash, desi fans who are aware of all the permutations and combinations, have started backing Afghanistan with all their might and memes.

As for India’s prospect to enter the semi-final, they will need to register a convincing victory against Namibia in order to better their NRR. They will also need to hope other results go in their favour as well.
