The ongoing T20 World Cup is turning out to be one of the most interesting ICC tournaments in recent times, with intense competition among the top teams. Even India, one of the title favourites, is facing a tricky situation.
Incidentally, India needed South Africa to beat West Indies in the Super 8 game today to improve its chances of reaching the semi final. Luckily for India, that is exactly what happened, as South Africa defeated West Indies by a comprehensive margin.
West Indies batted first and scored 176 runs in 20 overs, which was a competitive total. An exceptional batting effort took them from 83 for 7 to 176, giving them something to defend. However, South Africa was ruthless with the bat and chased down the target with multiple overs to spare.
This favourable result in the South Africa versus West Indies match works perfectly for India. Now, India needs to win the remaining two games, against Zimbabwe and later against West Indies on March 1.
The immediate focus now shifts to the game between India and Zimbabwe, which is set to begin at 7 PM tonight. A victory here will take India level with West Indies on the points table, which comes as a big boost.
