India need to first win their remaining matches and then they would be hoping for some results to go in their favour. A win against Afghanistan, Namibia, and Scotland will not be enough, Team India needs to register comprehensive wins as the net run rate might come into play as well.
Defeats in their opening two matches against Pakistan and New Zealand in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 has put Virat Kohli and his boys in a critical situation. The Men-in-Blue will square off against Afghanistan on Wednesday (November 3) with their backs against the wall. Only a win can help India stay alive, mathematically, in the showpiece event.
It will be a change in venue for India after playing both their opening games at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium as they will play Afghanistan at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
“At this moment the focus is to play good cricket in the upcoming matches. We are not looking to calculate run-rate in games yet,” Team India batting coach Vikram Rathour said during a pre-match virtual conference on Tuesday (November 2).
