T20 World Cup: Can India qualify for semi-final despite big defeats to New Zealand and Pakistan?

T20 World Cup 2021: India have lost two matches on the trot by big margins but they aren't out of the semi-final race yet. However, their chances depend on how other teams, especially New Zealand and Afghanistan, perform in their remaining Super 12 matches in Group 2.

But for the first time in recent memory, fans of the India cricket team will have an anxious wait as Virat Kohli's men are on the brink of a shocking early exit in T20 World Cup 2021.
