India will again go for broke when they resume their battle for survival in the T20 World Cup in another must-win contest, against Scotland in Dubai

Coming two days after the thrashing of Afghanistan, Scotland, for all their spunk and spirit in the T20 showpiece, provides their fancied opponents another great platform to win it big and boost their net run-rate while hoping that other results go their way.

Despite the annihilation of Afghanistan, India’s semifinal prospects remain hanging in the balance thanks to the back-to-back drubbing against Pakistan and New Zealand inside eight days of the tournament proper. The situation remains do or die for Virat Kohli's band of superstars as they head into their fourth match in the Super 12 stage

However, their chances of qualifying for the T20 World Cup 2021 semi-finals are still on the knife’s edge. Hence, they must win their remaining games with comprehensive margins to go through.

Team India would like to record another comprehensive win as they take on Scotland in their upcoming fixture.

Finally India won the toss and elected to field.

May the best team win.

Cheers..

Dew a big reason for this decision, says Kohli, while joking about finally winning a toss on his birthday. Says India aren't coming into the game with calculations in mind, their way forward will depend on how they start. Shardul Thakur misses out and Varun C is back in.

Group 2 Scenerio

India's emphatic 66-run victory against Afghanistan means they remain in the hunt to take advantage of a slip-up from New Zealand. Meanwhile, New Zealand's campaign remains on course, while Afghanistan are in it too despite the heavy loss. Here is a look at how each of these three teams can make the cut.

India

Played: 3, Points: 2, NRR: 0.073, Remaining matches: vs Scotland, Namibia

Before the game against Afghanistan, India's net run rate was -1.609; after the match, it has leapt up to 0.073, while Afghanistan's has dropped from 3.097 to 1.481. If India win their last two games - against Scotland and Namibia - by a combined margin of 120 runs (scoring 180), their NRR will improve further to 1.303. In that case, Afghanistan's rate will stay above India's only if they beat New Zealand by at least 12 runs (after scoring 150).
