India's Net Run Rate Boosts After Comprehensive Win Against Scotts, All Hopes On The Afghan Team Now

By IANS News November 06, 2021 • 11:25 AM View: 2024

Despite the massive win achieved over newcomers Scotland in just 6.3 overs on Friday night here, India's hopes of qualifying for the ICC T20 World Cup last-four hinge on Afghanistan beating the Kane Williamson-led New Zealand in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.

Following two big defeats -- to Pakistan by 10 wickets and New Zealand by eight wickets -- in the Group 2 'Super 12' stage, India were down to fifth on the points table with an abysmal Net Run Rate (NRR). But emphatic victories over Afghanistan and Scotland have seen them do one part right -- drastically improve the NRR.
