Because of this defeat, India has almost closed the door to the semi-finals. They have three matches in hand against Afghanistan, Scotland, and Namibia. We have to look at the Afghanistan-New Zealand match. Only if Afghanistan wins will Kohli have a chance to reach the semifinals as a net run rate. India is 11th out of 12 teams in net run rate due to poor batting.
