How India can qualify for T20 WC semis?

To qualify for T20 World Cup 2026 semi-finals, India must ideally win both remaining Super 8 matches against Zimbabwe and West Indies. After a 76-run loss to South Africa, their Net Run Rate ($-3.800$) is a major concern.

Best Scenario: Win both games while South Africa beats West Indies and Zimbabwe. This sends India through as the second-placed team in semis.

NRR Battle: If West Indies beats South Africa, three teams could tie on 4 points, necessitating massive win margins for India. India needs to make sure they win their win their remaining two Super 8 matches against Zimbabwe and West Indies by big margins.
