Before the start of the 2nd match, 1 semifinal spot could be fixed. If SouthAfrica beat Netherlands, they will book the 3rd semifinal slot and first from Group 2. The race will then be for the 2nd spot from Group 2.
India will take on Zimbabwe at 1:30 PM. If Pakistan beat Bangladesh, Babar Azam & Co will momentarily surpass India due to a better Net Run Rate with 6 points. It will come down to India to get their job done.
SouthAfrica vs Netherlands at 5:30 AM: SouthAfrica missed the chance to seal the 1st semifinal slot when they lost to Pakistan. But they have another chance against minnows Netherlands. A win and SA will be in the semifinals. The Netherlands have only won a game against Zimbabwe. But at Adelaide Oval, which was a decent batting wicket on Friday, South Africa would look invincible.

How can SouthAfrica qualify?
- SA are 2nd in Group 2 with 5 points from 4 games.
- A win will help them secure the 3rd semifinal spot.
- If they lose, they will be knocked out as either Pakistan or Bangladesh can get to six points.
Pakistan vs Bangladesh at 9:30 AM: Babar Azam-led Pakistan will take on Bangladesh on Sunday. This is the last group-stage game for both teams. Pakistan cannot afford another slip-up as it’s a must-win game for Pakistan. That Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, the two pillars of their batting line-up, have struggled sums up Pakistan’s woes this tournament. Two narrow losses (to India and Zimbabwe) to kickstart the campaign have left them needing to win their big game against Bangladesh and hoping other results go their way.
How can Pakistan qualify?
- Pakistan are 3rd in Group 2 with 4 points from four matches.
- The Men in Green will need to win their game at any cost.
- Despite winning their match, Pakistan will hope that either South Africa or India lose their game on Sunday.
How can Bangladesh qualify?
- Pakistan are placed fourth in the table but have the same points as Pakistan
- Not only does Bangladesh need to beat Pakistan but they have to ensure a big victory
- Like Pakistan, the Bangla Tigers will be hoping that one of India or South Africa lose their game on Sunday.

India vs Zimbabwe at 1:30 PM: Team India’s qualification hopes for the T20 World Cup 2022 semi-finals lie in their hands as they only need a win in their last game against Zimbabwe to qualify for the knockout stages as Group 2 winners. Zimbabwe on the other hand needs a miracle to qualify for the next stage.
How can India qualify?
- India are currently top of the table in Group 2
- A win against Zimbabwe will lead them to the semi-final of the T20 World Cup
How can Zimbabwe qualify?
- Zimbabwe will not only need to register a win in their final clash against India
- They will also need to hope that South Africa lose to the Netherlands by a huge margin and the Pakistan vs Bangladesh clash gets washed out.
- Zimbabwe will also need to ensure that they have a better NRR than South Africa, Pakistan and Bangladesh if they are to progress to the semi-finals of the tournament.
