The match between India and Zimbabwe will be played in Super-8 on 26 February. This match will be very important for both the teams from the semi-final point of view. But a few hours before that, the West Indies vs South Africa match will be played, which can decide the future of Team India in the World Cup. Know why Indian fans will be wishing for South Africa’s victory tomorrow.
Indian fans will support South Africa
What effect will the result of West Indies vs South Africa match have on the Indian team? To understand this, you first have to know the complete status of the points table. West Indies currently have 2 points, but their net run-rate is +5.350, which is very high. South Africa also has only 2 points and its net run-rate is +3.800. This is also much more than India.
Now let us come to why Indian fans will support South Africa. Since Team India will have more chances of going to the semi-finals if South Africa wins compared to West Indies. If South Africa wins tomorrow and then India wins over Zimbabwe, then Africa will enter the semi-finals.
In such a situation, South Africa will have 4 points, West Indies and India will have two points each and Zimbabwe will have 0 points. In this way, the decision of the second semi-final slot will directly depend on the India vs West Indies match. South Africa would have gone to the semi-finals, whereas by defeating West Indies on March 1, Team India can go directly to the semi-finals. If South Africa wins tomorrow, and then wins its next two matches, then it will not have to depend on the net run-rate.
