Now, the T20 match for India has set the internet to ascend with every next clash. Its semi-final entry undeniably lies on the result of the match between Afghanistan and New Zealand. Both the teams have a mastery for affecting a stir on the bare cricket pitch. Without an iota of doubt, India’s entry into the semi-final phase solely hinges on Afghanistan’s victory against the Kiwis.
If it does not occur, India’s chances for T20 World Cup are over. This will be demonstrated on the coming Sunday. However, the Indian team chased down a victory target of 86 against Scotland in 6.3 overs to go past New Zealand and Afghanistan in the net run rate. At +1.619, they now have the best net run rate in Group 2. It is still keeping up hopes. If the New Zealand players win the match, India’s hopes of remaining in the T20 World Cup are over and out.
The gentleman’s game of cricket is verily decided on the aspect of sheer luck. This can not be denied altogether. A stronger team gets defeated and a fresher or newer team gets to win and be applauded.
The latest victory for India has suddenly rekindled its hope of narrowly reaching the semi-finals in T20 cricket matches at the United Arab Emirates. For attaining this superior target, our cricket team comprising of great and excellent batsmen and bowlers will have to defeat Scotland and Namibia in its remaining contests. That will enable Kohli and his flank to collect as much as huger six points from as many as five games. Well, is it not honestly so?
Victories in the coming Super 12 clashes will also assure our optimistic cricket players amass a positive net run rate that is required at this critical juncture. It will also bring our team into the game as well as play if the two respective cricket teams complete the matches in a tie at the culmination of the round-robin stage.
Our team’s worthy chance to enter the last four rounds will become apparent on November 7. The day is not too far. If the better Afghanistan cricket team defeats New Zealand in its final Super 12 game, the NZ team will be wrapped up with six points alongside both the teams viz., Afghanistan and India. The margin of defeat for the NZ players should also be tremendous for their net run rate as it will thus get them degraded at the points table.
