How Team India Can Qualify For Semi-Finals in T20 World Cup 2021

In the opening match of the T20 World Cup, India lost to Pakistan. Pakistan took total control of the game and won by 10 wickets. The Indian players got another chance to bounce back in their second match. However, in their next game against New Zealand, things went in New Zealand's favor and the chances of India entering the semi-finals seem very difficult.

However, they are chances that India can still qualify for the semi-finals if things happen in India's favour.  India will lock horns against Afghanistan in their third game on November 3 at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
