If India wins, the previous champions will move on to the next round and play alongside South Africa and Australia. The only other teams to have made it to the “Super 8s.” The T20 World Cup outcome will also revitalize Pakistan’s campaign, which had been dormant following their victory over Canada.
Group A will have one of its two qualifiers for the ‘Super 8’ stage of the tournament at the conclusion. The T20 World Cup match Between India and the USA.
India, the 2007 winners, is ready to win three straight games to go to the next round. But the USA’s run of giant-killing is not to be taken lightly.
The USA won a historic bilateral series against Bangladesh ahead of the T20 World Cup, their first ever against a country that plays Test cricket.
It followed a much more significant upset, as Pakistan suffered a shock defeat in their second T20 tournament group match.. In the interim, the US team won the tournament opener against their neighbors, Canada.
USA and India are both undefeated in the tournament after winning their last two games. They will put their greatest test to the test against Rohit Sharma & Co.
India defeated their bitter rivals, Pakistan, by six runs in an exciting match, cutting short the United States of America’s lead in the group after two straight victories.
India moved up to the top of Group A with the win (2 matches, 4 points, NRR +1.455). The USA (2 matches, 4 points, NRR +0.626). Pakistan (3 matches, 2 points, NRR +0.191). Canada (3 matches, 2 points, NRR -0.493). and Ireland (2 matches, O point, NRR -1.712) followed.
The following chart illustrates how the outcome of Wednesday’s India vs. USA match could impact the five teams in Group A’s “Super 8” qualification scenario:
India’s Win Secures ‘Super 8s’ Spot, Keeps Pakistan’s Hopes Alive; USA Faces Must-Win vs. Ireland
IF INDIA WIN’s
In the event that India wins, the reigning champions will move on to the next round and join Australia and South Africa as the only other teams to have reached the “Super 8s.” The outcome will also revitalise Pakistan’s campaign, which had been dormant following their victory over Canada. Pakistan, on the other hand, will be hoping that India defeats the United States and severely damages their net run-rate, which is currently higher than Pakistan’s.
Though even if the USA lose to India, they still have a chance to go to the ‘Super 8s’ if they defeat Ireland in their final game. That would mean that the other three teams would be eliminated and all other games in the group would be meaningless.
Will the United States of America win
Should USA’s incredible run in their tournament debut continue with yet another surprising victory, they will advance to the ‘Super 8s’. That outcome, though, will not be advantageous to Pakistan, Canada, or Ireland.
India will join the co-hosts as the two teams in the “Super 8s” from Group A, eliminating the other three teams, if they lose to the US and win their final game against minnows Canada.
