Team India may also be out of the World Cup, know the complete equation

New Delhi. India and Australia will clash in their last match of T20 World Cup 204 Super 8 in St. Lucia this evening. The group consists of India, Australia, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. All four teams of this group are still in the race for the semi-finals. India is certainly on top with 4 points after winning two matches but officially it has also not reached the last four yet. From Group 2, defending champions England and South Africa have reached the last four. Rohit Sharma and company can still be out of the semi-final race. Let’s know the complete equation.

Afghanistan’s win against Australia has made the match in Group One interesting. If the Australian team defeats India by a margin of 42 or more runs in today’s match or the Kangaroos win with 31 or more balls remaining, then the net run rate of Team India will decrease. Apart from this, if the Afghanistan team manages to defeat Bangladesh by a margin of 81 or more, then India’s net run rate will be less than Australia and Afghanistan. In this situation, the teams of Australia and Afghanistan can reach the semi-finals and the Indian team may have to face elimination. However, the possibility of this is very low.

Its net run rate is -2.489. Team India will beat Australia and book a ticket to semi-finals by staying on top of Group 1.

Bangladesh hopes for a miracle
Bangladesh is also still in the race for the semi-finals. Officially, the Bangladesh team is still in the race. Afghanistan’s victory has kept Bangladesh’s hopes alive. If India defeats Australia in its third match and Bangladesh defeats Afghanistan by a big margin in its third match, then Nazmul Hussain Shanto’s team can reach the semi-finals. However, the way the Afghanistan team is playing, it will not be easy for Bangladesh to defeat it.
