In case Afghanistan lose to New Zealand, it will be all but curtains for India. Their Kiwis’ other two games would be against Scotland and Namibia...

India have had a disastrous run in the T20 World Cup 2021 so far. After brushing aside the England and Australia challenge in the warm-ups, they went down to Pakistan by 10 wickets in their first Super 12 encounter in Dubai. They got a week’s break and if fans thought that it would energize them, they were completely wrong. Virat Kohli and co came up with an equally listless performance to go down to New Zealand by eight wickets without putting up even an iota of a fight.

With the loss, India find themselves at the fifth position in the Group 2 points table. Pakistan are on top with three wins from as many games followed by Afghanistan, who have won two out of three. The Kiwis are in third position with one win and one loss. Although things are looking very bleak for India, there are still a few ways that India can make the semis although the path is a rather complicated one. Take a look at the possible scenarios.
