India’s Chances for Semis in T20 World Cup
May 10, 2010 : Earlier we have written post on same topic but after India vs Australia and India vs West Indies and this post is after Australia vs Sri Lanka.
Clearly, with every match scenerio is changing and as of now India has better chance than what use to be seen before Australia vs Sri Lanka.
Below is statistical things to be done by India as well hope by its Fan.
- Australia has already entered in to Semis with NRR +3.250.
- In India v Sri Lanka match; if India manages to get 180 run, they should try to restrict Sri Lankans at 160 runs thus leading to 20 Runs victory. If this happens Sri Lanka’s run rate would be -0.73 and consequently India’s would be -0.72.
- If India is batting second, they must ensure that they win the match before 17.3 Overs.
- If batting first Sri Lanka is all out before 20 Overs, then India would also need to win even before 17.3 overs. Ex. If Sri Lanka is all out in 19th over. India would need to win the match in 16.3 overs.
- This fact is compulsory. Any compromise in this condition would mean India is out. One must be fully aware that difference in the margin would be as per score. If score is high or low, all statistics will change. Although, the above score mention is most ideal deal for India.
- Now, Australia beat West Indies by even 1 run. India gets into Semi Final.
Latest Update : Rain may Spoil India’s Chances for Semi Final


India needs to get their strategy right. Play to our strengths. We have good clean hitters like Yuvi, Pathan , Dhoni and Raina. They can bat aggressivley while rest like Gambhir, Rohith sharma , Dinesh Karthik and Murali Vijay play an anchoring role.Once the paltform is set I think Indians are capable of tearing apart any bowling power in the world.
hi raji you mentioned that india have good batsman i agree but indias bowling is bad also dhoni was using raina in 18th over i think india should go with more bowlers becoz their batting attack is already good enough what do u say
We don’t deserve to be in the semis’ let them come back and do some more advert…
Indians can definitely get through. See how pakistan qualified. Everyone had written off Pakistan and now they beat a strong team like South Africa and advanced to the semis. If Inidans also come in semis it would be a great treat for cricket lovers. 4 top teams and bitter rivals like England, Australia, India and Pakistan coming face to face with each other. Lets pray India win comprehensively and qulaify for semis.
Hi,Brothers.
I am from Pakistan and I wish that India And Pakistan face each other in the final. I will pray India qualify for semies.
My best wishes and prayers for both teams.
Good luck India
Thanks for Kind words. We too wish to have India vs Pakistan.
Whatsoever happens, we hope Asian Team gets the trophy. Would not mind if Sri Lanka takes it.
india will easily reached to semis pray this to god…………..
India have chances to get into the semifinals.But that is only possible if India beat Srilanka by a run margin of 20
runs.Australia should also win the game against the Westindies.These are the only ways in which india can get into the semifinals.
All the above equations only possible if DHONI drops VIJAY and JADEJA out of the team and open with YUSUF and gambhir
u r correct. also play with an extra bowler. vinay kumar.
India doesn’t deserve to be in the semi final after their loss to Windies
India and specially Dhoni, this time not at all prepared and deserve to be in semi finals…. good luck of pakistan but over all both india – pakistan played very poor cricket in ICC T20 2010.
Ausis – Eng both deserve for FINALS

This is the spirit that makes India loosing. We think too much outside.
Pakistan deserves Semi Final spot and they are. India doesn’t deserve and that is why Talwar is there in the head of Indian Team.
