ICC T20 World Cup 2021: “Over To You Afghanistan”-Twitter Hopeful Of India Making Semis After Big Win Over Scotland

India beat Scotland by 8 wickets as they chased down 86 within 6.3 overs to boost their net run-rate and stay alive in the race for the playoffs. KL Rahul scored a 19-ball 50 and along with Rohit Sharma ( 30 off 16) added 70 within the first five overs. Both got out getting India to the brink of victory. At last Suryakumar finished the game with a big hit and boosting India’s net run-rate in the process.

India have leaped to the third position in the points table with a net-run rate of +1.619. Afghanistan’s NRR is +1.481 with a crucial game against New Zealand on November 7. If Afghanistan beats New Zealand in their last game, it will be a huge boost for India who play Namibia on the 8th.

India have now won two back to back games by big margins which was the need for them after two big defeats in the first two games.

Indian supporters on Twitter were very happy with the outcome of the Scotland game as they and the Indian players still believe of the improbable.

Twitter Enjoys India’s Clinical Win Vs Scotland

“I was enjoying bowling on this track today. The odd ball was turning, I was enjoying very much. The first one was a special one, whenever you get a batsman out with a turning ball, that’s always special. We were looking to play good brand of cricket. Everybody knows that we had to win with a big margin for us to up our net run-rate, we were looking to play our best game and give our 100% on the field. Everybody’s happy, one more game to go, hopefully we play like this. If we play like this, nobody can beat us. In T20 format, we have to play like this” said Ravindra Jadeja who was adjudged as the Man of The Match for his spell of 3/15.

“A dominating performance, something that we were striving to do again. Now it will be interesting to see what happens on 7th (November). Don’t want to say a lot about today’s performance, we know what we can do. Also tells you how important the toss can be at this venue. We wanted to get them under 110-120 max, that was the mindset we went in with. The bowlers were excellent, and then KL and Rohit did really well” said an elated Virat Kohli after the match.
