T20 World Cup: India's Semifinal Hopes Hang by a Thread After South Africa Loss

• India suffered a 76-run defeat to South Africa in the Super-8 match, dropping their net run rate to -3.8.
• South Africa now leads Group 1 with 2 points and a strong net run rate of 3.8.
• India must win both remaining matches against Zimbabwe and West Indies by large margins to improve their net run rate.
• If multiple teams have equal points, net run rate will be the deciding factor for semifinal qualification.
• Semifinal rules prioritize wins, then net run rate, head-to-head record, and finally ICC T20 rankings.
