New Zealand secured fourth spot in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 semifinals yesterday by defeating Afghanistan by eight wickets. Even if India record a big win against Namibia tonight, the Men in Blue have no chance of qualifying for the next round.
Speaking on his Facebook Watch show Virugiri Dot Com, Virender Sehwag opined that the Kiwis deserved a place in the next round because of the way they have played in the tournament so far. He also pointed out how the New Zealand team broke a billion hearts once again.
India currently have the best net run rate in Group 2 of the Super 12 round but they only have four points from four matches. Had Afghanistan defeated New Zealand yesterday, India would have stayed alive in the competition.
India will play against New Zealand later this month
Team India will have a chance to avenge their defeat against New Zealand soon as the Kiwis will visit India for three T20Is and two Test matches after the ICC T20 World Cup 2021.
The Test series will be part of the ICC World Test Championship. Thus, Virat Kohli and Co. will have the golden opportunity to end their losing streak against New Zealand in ICC tournament matches.
