The series of upheavals in the T20 World Cup continues. On Thursday, Pakistan's team had to face defeat against an opponent considered weak like Zimbabwe. This is Pakistan's second consecutive defeat in two matches. With this result, the race for the semi-finals in Group 2 of Super-12 has been completely opened.
The chances of any two teams from India, South Africa, and Zimbabwe entering the last-4 have increased. However, still, the Pakistan team is not completely out of the race. In this story, we will know which team's position is in Group 2 and what they will have to do to reach the knockout rounds.
Team India has the most chances
The Indian team won both its opening matches. Two defeats by Pakistan and one match in South Africa got washed out in the rain, making Team India's path to the semi-finals very easy. If the Indian team wins the remaining three matches, then it will reach the last four with 10 points as the table topper.
Even if Team India wins two out of three matches, its entry into the semi-finals will be confirmed, because in this situation India will win over any two of South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Bangladesh.
Rohit Army can reach the semi-finals even after winning 1 of the next 3 matches. In such a situation, he will have to keep his net run rate better than Pakistan. Also, it has to be ensured that at least two teams out of South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Bangladesh are below him in the points table.
What are the equations of South Africa?
South Africa has played two matches. His match against Zimbabwe was washed out in rain. At the same time, Bangladesh was easily defeated by the team. South Africa has three matches remaining from India, Pakistan, and the Netherlands. A win in all three will see the African team 100% advance to the semi-finals.
Even after winning two matches, South Africa will remain above Pakistan in any case. Then he has to see that two teams out of Team India, Zimbabwe, and Bangladesh remain below him. If South Africa loses two out of three matches, then their entry into the semi-finals will be almost impossible.
Zimbabwe's claim has also become stronger
Zimbabwe has also played two matches so far and got points in both matches. Their defeat against South Africa was almost certain, but rain saved it. This gave Zimbabwe 1 point. After defeating Pakistan got 2 more points. Zimbabwe scored against two such teams against whom their defeat was considered certain.
Now Zimbabwe has to play matches against Bangladesh, India, and Netherlands. Zimbabwe will 100% qualify for the semi-finals if all three matches are won. Even after winning two, Zimbabwe can reach the last four. In this situation, he will be ahead of Pakistan in any case. But, it has to be ensured that two teams out of India, South Africa, and Bangladesh remain below him in the points table.
Pakistan is now completely dependent on India
Pakistan's team has reached a very weak position after losing two consecutive matches. However, she is still not out of the semi-final race. To reach the last four, Pakistan will have to win against Bangladesh, South Africa, and the Netherlands.
Apart from this, he also has to pray that Team India beat both South Africa and Zimbabwe. One more condition would be that Zimbabwe loses to India as well as lose to either Bangladesh or Netherlands.
Tough road for Bangladesh, Netherlands almost out
Bangladesh won against the Netherlands but suffered a crushing defeat against South Africa. His net run rate has become very bad. They have to win their remaining four matches to reach the semi-finals.
We can consider the Netherlands out of the race for the semi-finals from now on. He has three matches left against South Africa, Pakistan, and Zimbabwe. He has to win all three. This is a very difficult task if not impossible in the present circumstances.
