India’s campaign in the T20 World Cup Super Eight stage suffered a major setback after a 76-run loss to South Africa. Despite entering the match as favorites, India collapsed for 111 runs while chasing a 188-run target. The defeat left India’s net run rate at –3.800, making their path to the semifinals significantly harder.
To qualify, India must now win both remaining Super Eight matches against West Indies and Zimbabwe. Two wins would give them four points, which usually secures a semifinal spot, but other results could complicate the scenario. If South Africa lose one of their remaining games and West Indies or Zimbabwe also beat them, three teams could finish with equal points, leaving net run rate as the deciding factor.
If India win only one of their next two matches, qualification becomes even more difficult. Their semifinal chances would then depend on South Africa winning all their matches and India’s victory coming against the right opponent. The large margin of defeat has left India’s campaign hanging on delicate mathematical possibilities.
