Target semi-finals

While India’s women cricket team lost to Pakistan by two runs, our men in blue defeated our arch rival by six wickets to keep our hopes of a semi-final berth in the World Cup T-20 championship alive.

While India’s women cricket team lost to Pakistan by two runs, our men in blue defeated our arch rival by six wickets to keep our hopes of a semi-final berth in the World Cup T-20 championship alive. Despite this facile win, Team India is lagging behind in run rate with a showing of -0.895, whereas table leaders New Zealand and Pakistan have a positive run rate. The win against Pakistan is commendable but at the same time the big loss against New Zealand has turned the tables against India as the cloud for qualifying for the semi-finals remains to be cleared.
