T20 WC: The start of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup has not been great. Pakistan defeated India by 10 wickets in the very first match and broke the record of decades. This is the first time that Pakistan has defeated India in a World Cup match. But now the matter of crisis is that India's way to reach the semi-finals has become difficult.
A lot also depends on the match between Pakistan and New Zealand. Because if Pakistan wins in this match, then India can have an advantage in the points table.

The road to India has become difficult?
Team India is part of Group-2 of the T20 World Cup, in this group India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, New Zealand, Scotland, and Namibia are there. Every team has to compete against each other, Pakistan has won the first match and Afghanistan beat Scotland by a huge margin. In such a situation, if India wants to make the journey ahead easier, then it will have to try to win every match.
If we look at the record, then it will not be difficult for India to beat Afghanistan, Scotland, and Namibia. But in the T20 World Cup, any team can make a difference at any time. All the three teams have reached the Super-12 round only after showing some such game in Round-1, in such a situation, Team India will have to be alert.
At the same time, if we talk about New Zealand, there have been two matches between India and New Zealand in the T20 World Cup. India has lost in both matches, so it is not easy to overcome New Zealand. New Zealand defeated India in the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2016 T20 World Cup.
India's upcoming matches -
• 31 October - New Zealand
• 3 November - Afghanistan
• 5 November - Scotland
• 8 November - Namibia
Will India benefit from Pakistan's victory?
There is a match between Pakistan and New Zealand in the T20 World Cup on Tuesday. Looking at Pakistan's form has the upper hand in this match, if Pakistan wins in this match, then India can benefit. That is because if India also beats New Zealand, then the way for both India and Pakistan to Go to the semi-finals will be easier.
But if New Zealand defeats Pakistan in this match and India also wins in the next match, then it will be difficult that New Zealand will also have to lose from Afghanistan-Namibia-Scotland, then India's path will be made to the semi-finals. In such a situation, this becomes the only way for Team India to win all its matches and Pakistan also wins against New Zealand.
Can Afghanistan also reach the semi-finals?
The way Afghanistan beat Scotland on Monday, their net run rate has reached the top and they have reached the top of the group. In such a situation, now Afghanistan will try to defeat Namibia and then reverse it with Pakistan-New Zealand-India. Because if this happens, in the end, if the game of net-run rate gets stuck, then Afghanistan can benefit from it.
