How can India still qualify for the T20 World Cup semi-finals?

Despite being placed second-last in the group, Team India still have an outside chance to qualify for the semis. The Virat Kohli's team will have to win their remaining three group games which are against Afghanistan, Namibia, and Scotland.

However, that alone won't be enough for India as they will also require the other results and net run rate equation to go their way. The Men in Blue need New Zealand to lose at least two out of their three remaining group games, while Namibia should also lose any two of their remaining matches.

Also, Kohli's side will need to win their remaining matches, especially against Afghanistan, by a big margin in order to improve their poor net run rate in case there's a tie for the second spot.

Meanwhile, India captain Virat Kohli blamed his team`s timid approach for their "bizarre" defeat in Sunday`s Twenty20 World Cup match against New Zealand but has not given up hopes of making the semi-finals of the tournament. India slumped to fifth place in Group II after their second successive defeat in the Super 12 stage and even winning the remaining three matches would not guarantee a place in the last four.

India's remaining fixtures:

India v Afghanistan, Abu Dhabi – Wednesday 3 November

India v Scotland, Dubai – Friday 5 November

India v Namibia, Dubai – Monday 8 November
