Abu Dhabi: New Zealand will take on Afghanistan at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi today i.e. Let me tell you all that this match will have a direct impact on team India's chances of reaching the semi-finals. In fact, if Afghanistan beat New Zealand today, India's chances of reaching the semi-finals will be strong. India will have to win the last match by a good margin. India's last league match against Namibia will be a formality if New Zealand win. New Zealand's win will close the doors of the semi-finals for India as New Zealand will have eight points and india will not be able to score the same number of points even after winning the last match. Let me also inform all of you that three teams have reached the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2021 so far. Pakistan were the first to secure a place in the top-4, followed by England and Australia in the semi-finals after the end of last Saturday's match between England and South Africa.
