India is the strongest team of the 2026 T20 World Cup, no one across the world will have any doubt about it. However, the defeat in the Super-8 against South Africa has made the path to the semi-finals a bit difficult for the Indian team. Now the Indian team will not only have to win its matches by a big margin, but will also have to depend to some extent on the results of other teams. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Yusuf Pathan has said that Inshallah Team India will go to the final.
Inshallah will definitely go to the final – Yusuf Pathan
Former cricketer and TMAC MP Yusuf Pathan told reporters in Kolkata, “The Indian team knows how to make a comeback. The team will make a great comeback. We hope that India will win by a good margin in Chennai. Zimbabwe is also playing good cricket. I wish them all the best, but the Indian team always performs well in challenging conditions.” At the same time he was asked whether the Indian team will go to the final of the 2026 T20 World Cup. In response to this he said, “Inshallah she will definitely go to the finals.”
Such are the equations for India
1- To reach the semi-finals, Team India will have to win both its remaining matches at any cost. Along with victory, Team India also has to improve its net run rate a lot. In such a situation, the margin of victory should also be big.
2- West Indies lost to South Africa, India will have to pray for this too. If the West Indies team loses to South Africa, then the Indian team will reach the semi-finals as soon as it defeats the West Indies.
3- If India, South Africa and West Indies finish the Super-8 stage with 2-2 wins i.e. four points each, then the decision will be taken on the basis of net run rate. Currently Team India is at third position in its group. West Indies is at first, South Africa is at second and India is at third.
