Pakistan has lost a group match to Australia in World T20 2016 in Mohali. This means that Pakistan is out of the contest. Also few things got clear in the Group 2 of the ICC World Twenty20 Super 10’s stage. New Zealand are already on top of the table with six points (from three matches) and so they have confirmed their semis berth.

India and Australia would play their last group match on Sunday, in a deciding match for both. If India wins against Australia, it will have six points from four games and Australia will remain with four points. Thus, India can proceed into the semis. In case Australia wins against India, it will have six points from four games and India will remain with four points. Thus, Ausies can proceed into the semis.

In case it rains, India’s chances to enter semis would get dampen. In case of a washout, both India and Australia would get one point each and would have equal points. It is then that net run rate would become the decider. And it would turn favorable to Australia. Australia has a net run rate of +0.440, while India is with a net run rate at -0.546.
