India have lost their both matches of the ongoing T20 World Cup and their chances of making it to the top four are all but over. India lost to New Zealand in their second match of the tournament by 8 wickets on Sunday while they also saw a crushing defeat at the hands of arch-rivals Pakistan in their first game of the marquee event.
Pakistan lead the Group 2 points table with 6 points and they are undefeated till now in the tournament. Afghanistan sit at the second position in Group 1 with two wins in three games. After Sunday’s win vs India, the Kane Williamson-led New Zealand side moved to the third spot in the points table with 2 points while Namibia, India and Scotland are at fourth, fifth and sixth seat respectively. However, India and Scotland are yet win their first game.
India, who come into the tournament with a lot of expectations following a brilliant last 5 years of the Indian Premier League where they got many match-winners, have been completely outplayed by their oppositions in both the games.
There is still a narrow chance of Virat Kohli and company making it into the semifinals.
