T20 World Cup 2022: EXPLAINED! Qualification scenario for Group 2 teams after India beat Bangladesh

India and Bangladesh squared off in a rain-affected T20 World Cup 2022 encounter at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. In what was a crucial Super 12 clash, Team India beat a spirited Bangla Tigers by five runs (DLS method) to win their third game of the mega event in Australia and top their group, with one more game to play. Despite Rohit Sharma & Co.'s third win of the showpiece event Down Under, the one-time winners have still not qualified for the semi-finals.

Talking about the qualification scenario in Group 2, India sit at the top spot after their win over Bangladesh, with six points under their belt. South Africa and Bangladesh follow suit with Pakistan and Netherlands occupying the bottom-two spots, respectively. Here's the qualification scenario for all the teams still alive in the race for the semis from Group 2:

With Netherlands and Zimbabwe out of contention, let us dwell upon the chances of India, South Africa, Bangladesh and Pakistan.

Bangladesh: The Bangla Tigers have one game left. They play Pakistan in their remaining league stage encounterat the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. If they win by an improbable margin, they can even challenge India, in terms of NRR, in the top two. South Africa's NRR at present is +2.772 which is certainly out of reach for Shakib Al Hasan & Co.

Pakistan: The Babar Azam-led Men in Green won against South Africa on Thursday (November 03) and will play Bangladesh in their last league stage face-off and have to beat their Asian neighbours. If Pakistan reach six points and India lose to Zimbabwe, they can even edge past their arch-rivals as their NRR is slightly better than India.

South Africa:Temba Bavuma & Co. are in a very good position; and were unbeaten in the tournament till losing to Pakistan. With two wins and one no-result, the Proteas have five points. Even if they lose one of their remaining two games, SA should go ahead but their final positioning can change.

India: Rohit & Co. currently occupy the top spot in Group 2. The Men in Blue are also in a good position to reach the top four, however, they still need to win their last league stage encounter versus Zimbabwe. A win will confirm them a place in the knockouts.
