India is in danger of being out of the semi-final race, one defeat changed the course of the tournament

The Indian team had to face defeat by five wickets in the match between India and South Africa on 30 October. This is India’s first defeat in this tournament in the match held in Perth. After this defeat, the Indian team has reached the number two position. India have four points after three matches. South Africa are at the top with five points from three matches. After this defeat to India, the path of India’s team in the semi-final race has become a bit difficult.

 

The Indian cricket team, led by Rohit Sharma, has faced defeat for the first time in the tournament. Batting first, the Indian team could only score 133 runs for the loss of nine wickets. For India, batsman Suryakumar Yadav scored 68 runs in 40 balls with the help of 6 fours and three sixes at a strike rate of 170. On the other hand, South Africa’s team successfully chased this target losing five wickets. South African player Lungi Ngidi was named player of the match, who took four wickets. Adam Markram scored 52 and David Miller scored 59 runs for South Africa. He hit four fours and three sixes. Pacer Arshdeep Singh took two wickets.

 

It is believed that South Africa will get the lead in the coming matches. South Africa have got five points from three matches. The net run rate of the team has become 2.772. South Africa have one match left to play against Pakistan and Netherlands. South Africa need to win one match to make it to the semi-finals. At the same time, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe are also in strong form in this tournament. If these teams win their remaining matches, then the equations for the semi-finals can change.

 

After getting defeated by South Africa, the path of the Indian team has become a bit difficult. After the loss to South Africa, India needs to register a win in both the matches. Rain can spoil India’s game again in the match against Bangladesh on Wednesday. India needs to be kind to the weather for this match.

 

The Indian team and the team led by Shakib Al Hasan are on equal footing with the Bangladesh team. Both have scored four points in three matches but Bangladesh is behind India in terms of net run rate. Bangladesh has to clash with Pakistan and India, which is not easy for them. Bangladesh needs to win one match to stay in the race for the semi-finals.

 

Apart from Bangladesh, the Pakistan team led by Babar Azam is also eyeing the semi-finals. Pakistan has 2 points from 3 matches with a net run rate of 0.765. This road is very difficult for Pakistan. Currently Pakistan can score a maximum of six points.
