India's T20 World Cup 2026 Semifinal Chances Depend on Wins and Net Run Rate

India's T20 World Cup 2026 semifinal hopes hinge on winning their remaining Super 8 matches against Zimbabwe and West Indies with significant margins to improve their negative net run rate (NRR) after a 76-run loss to South Africa. South Africa's recent nine-wicket win over West Indies has eased India's qualification path by reducing West Indies' NRR advantage. If India wins both matches, they can qualify directly; otherwise, a three-way tie could make NRR decisive. The upcoming India vs West Indies match is effectively a virtual quarter-final, with the winner advancing to the semifinals.
