After a 76-run loss to South Africa at Ahmedabad, India's fate for semis hinges on net-run-rate, their own matches in the near future, i.e winning their next two games and Proteas themselves, hoping that the 2024 T20 World Cup runners-up have an unbeaten run in the Super Eight phase.
India have already sealed the five-match T20I series against New Zealand with a commanding 3-0 lead and head into the remaining fixtures in strong form.
