Team India Semi Final Equation if South Africa Wins: The Super-8 match between South Africa and West Indies is being played at Narendra Modi Stadium. In this match, South Africa won the toss and chose to bowl first. West Indies’ batting collapsed like a house of cards and lost 6 wickets in the first 10 overs. The equation of the semi-finals is such that if West Indies loses today, India’s chances of qualifying will increase, but even if South Africa wins, India can be out.
Will Team India be out?
Currently, the Indian team does not have any points in the points table of Super-8. Whereas South Africa and West Indies have 2 points each. If West Indies wins today, it will have 4 points while Africa will have two points in 2 matches. If India wins over Zimbabwe today, it will also get 2 points equal to South Africa.
After that, if India and South Africa win their respective last matches of Super-8, then the three teams India, South Africa and West Indies will have four points each. In that situation, the decision of India going to the semi-finals will be based on net run-rate. If India wants to improve its net run-rate, it will have to win its next two matches against Zimbabwe and West Indies by big margins.
Equation after South Africa’s victory
- If India loses one of the next 2 matches then it is out.
- If India wins both the matches, but NRR remains low then it is out.
Let us tell you that India still has to play 2 more matches in Super-8. Today i.e. on 26th February, Team India will face Zimbabwe, while on 1st March it will have to face West Indies. If it wants to go to the semi-finals, it will have to win the next two matches. But if South Africa wins today, India’s entry into the semi-finals may get entangled in the manipulation of net run-rate.
