Melbourne: England defeated Sri Lanka to make it to the semifinals of the T-20 World Cup. With this result, the picture of Super-12 Group-1 has become completely clear. New Zealand's team is on top with 7 points. England also have 7 points, but due to poor net run rate, they have to be content with second place.
If the Indian team reaches the semi-finals, which team will it face?
The semi-final lineup will be decided on November 6: The teams of Group-1 have been decided, the position of Group-2 will be clear on Sunday. Right now the teams of India, South Africa and Pakistan are competing to reach the semi-finals in Group-2.
If India wins, it will play with England in semi-final: If the Indian team defeats Zimbabwe in their last league match, then it will have eight points. In this situation, Team India will be at top in Group-2. In this situation, India will face England in the semifinal on November 10 as England is at second place in Group-1.
If both South Africa and Pakistan win their last matches, India will be virtually out of the tournament in the event it loses to Zimbabwe.
Even if the India-Zimbabwe match gets washed out by rain, the Indian team will reach the semifinals. In such a situation, Team India's position in the group will depend on the results of the last matches of South Africa and Pakistan.
