After Pakistan, India had to face a drastic defeat from New Zealand, which has increased the difficulties of Team India in the T20 World Cup. India's challenge is almost over.
New Zealand has maintained the challenge by beating India easily. New Zealand beat India by 8 wickets. India scored only 110 runs and New Zealand easily covered this challenge in 14.5 overs.
After two defeats India's hopes of reaching the semi-finals have been dashed. Team India is fifth in the second group after Pakistan, Afghanistan, New Zealand, and Namibia.
The second group has a total of six teams India played with two of them and lost. Now the questions are arising in cricket fans Can India reach the semi-finals from this position now that it has suffered a crushing defeat? But now the ICC has answered the questions.
India's net run rate is very poor due to two big defeats they need a resounding victory in all three matches to improve. Now India will have to beat Afghanistan on November 3, Scotland on November 5, and Namibia on November 8.
Namibia or Scotland needs to beat New Zealand in the next matches so there will be hope for team India to reach the semifinals.
Afghanistan's run rate is spectacular they beat Scotland to a net run rate of +3.097. India team will need to defeat Afghanistan by a large margin.
If any of the teams from group two beat New Zealand like Afghanistan, Namibia, or Scotland it will become easier for India to enter the semi-finals.
