T20 World Cup 2026: India's Semi-Final Hopes Dwindle After West Indies Win
•Team India's semi-final calculations complicated after a crushing 76-run defeat to South Africa and West Indies' victory over Zimbabwe.
•India's net run rate plummeted to -3.88, while West Indies' surged to +5.350 after a 107-run win against Zimbabwe.
•For India to qualify, they must win their remaining two matches by large margins and depend on South Africa defeating West Indies and Zimbabwe.
•If South Africa loses to West Indies, India's chances become extremely difficult due to potential three-way tie on points and superior NRR of West Indies/South Africa.
•India needs a massive win against Zimbabwe (e.g., chase 150 in 11 overs or win by 100 runs) to improve their net run rate.
