India’s Super 8 hopes dented after defeat

India’s path to the T20 World Cup semi-finals grew complicated after their Super 8 defeat on Sunday, leaving them needing a strong finish to stay in contention. The loss dropped them in the points table and tightened the race for the final four.

With only one win from two matches, India now depend on victories in their remaining games and a favourable net run rate. “We still control what we can do on the field,” captain Rohit Sharma said. A former cricketer warned, “There’s no room for another slip-up.”

The Super 8 group remains finely poised, but India must respond quickly to keep their title hopes alive.
