Haqeer samajhna means Chhota samajhna not "mazak banaana"" so I guess you used the wrong word here..

Haare to haare, but dhang se to haaro. Atleast close the gap so NRR is not impacted so badly.

Filhaal to sabse ghatiya RR India ki hai.

Firstly we need outcomes of other matches to go in our favor. And then we too need to not only beat WI and ZIM, but thrash them badly so as to improve the RR.

Considering how good WI and ZIM have been, might be hard to do so. Hamari team to USA aur Netherlands ke saath bhi reng reng ke finish line tak pahunchi hai.

Congratulations to South Africa for winning the match.

Congratulations to David Miller for winning the PoTM award.

Cheers..

totally agree ..,our RR needs to improve very badly

I may be wrong but I don't think the RR can be helped anymore or matters anymore as far as India's semifinal prospects are concerned...We just have to win both of our next matches and wait for SA to win the rest of their two matches too...That's the only straightforward way for us....

They needed to have a plan B of sorts...Wonder if they did or not but can't imagine such professional sportsmen not having a plan B, plan C so on and so forth...I mean don't they have a professional think tank, an army of people in the dressing room, assisting them? They should've set themselves a lesser target like 150 or something and tried to achieve it as plan B and play all the 20 overs in the worst case scenario as plan C...

Details for today's match--

Zimbabwe vs West Indies, 44th Match, Super 8 Group 1 (X2 v X3),

Series: ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026

Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai

Date & Time: Today, 7:00 PM LOCAL

One clear way for India to make it to SF is for SA to win the remaining matches. However, if they don’t, I would rather they lose both their matches.

Something like this:

WI vs ZIM = Zim wins

WI vs SA = WI wins

Ind vs Zim = Ind wins

Zim vs SA = Zim wins

Ind vs WI = Ind wins

Points tally would have Ind and Zim at 4 and WI and SA at 2.

In this case , India and Zim would advance to SF.

Aise sochne mein kya jaata hai?

I want SA and India both to reach SF and win and meet in the finals and India win....Aisa bhi sochne se kuch khaas jayega nahi....

I want SA out. Ain’t gonna happen considering that they are such a good team but I’m gonna keep wishing for it.

Imagine India wins against WI and ZIM with more than 60 runs difference, phir ? Our net run rate will definitely more than them right?

Imagine if SA also loses against either Zim or WI — they’ll also be in the same boat as India, right ?

let's hope for the best
