South Africa (South Africa) have also made it to the semi-finals but the status of the other two teams is not yet clear. In such a situation, there will be a question in everyone’s mind as to who India will face in the semi-finals.
India has 16 points with eight wins in eight matches
India has 16 points with eight wins from eight matches. No other team can compete with it, so Team India will remain number-1. Currently, India played its last match on November 12 the Netherlands (Netherlands) to play against South Africa have 12 points from eight matches with six wins and two losses. They still have one match left against Afghanistan and if this team wins in that, the second place will be almost assured.
Australia is third with 10 points
Australia is currently in third place with 10 points from seven matches. This team has yet to play two more matches. If Australia wins both their matches against Afghanistan and Bangladesh, they will also have 14 points. In such a situation, there will be a battle for the second place between South Africa and Australia, in which the team with a better net run rate will win.
Currently, New Zealand is at number four
If seen, it is almost certain that these two teams will finish second and third. But Team India is not concerned with the second and third placed teams as the semi-final match will be between the first and fourth placed teams while the second semi-final will be between the second and third placed teams. Currently, New Zealand is at number four, but Pakistan can also come at number four.
Pakistan has to play the next match against New Zealand
New Zealand is currently ranked fourth. He has eight points to his account after four wins and four losses in eight matches. Same is the case with Pakistan. They too have eight points with four wins from four matches but New Zealand are fourth due to a better run rate. New Zealand will play their next match against Sri Lanka. While Pakistan has to play its next match against England.
New Zealand’s run rate is currently better
If both the teams win this match, they will be in the race for the fourth place and then the matter will come down to net run rate. Currently, New Zealand’s run rate is better. In such a situation, there is a full possibility that India will compete with New Zealand in the semi-finals. One of the reasons for this is that New Zealand have to play their next match against Sri Lanka who are not in a strong position. Along with this, Pakistan has to play against England, which has the power to defeat Pakistan.
The match with Pakistan will be like this
But if the New Zealand team loses against Sri Lanka and the Pakistan team wins against England, then Pakistan will fall to the fourth position and then India-Pakistan semi-final can be seen. However, Afghanistan cannot be ignored in this race. He has eight points in seven games with four wins and three losses.
The Afghanistan team gave a strong performance
He has to play his next two matches against South Africa and South Africa. The Afghanistan team has performed strongly in this World Cup and has defeated teams like Pakistan, England, Sri Lanka. In such a situation, if they win both their matches and New Zealand and Pakistan lose their matches, then India may also face Afghanistan in the semi-finals.
On the other hand, if Pakistan and New Zealand win their matches and Afghanistan also win, then the matter will hinge on net run rate. Its net run rate will be better, it will stay at number four and compete with India.
