Despite the massive win achieved over newcomers Scotland in just 6.3 overs on Friday night here, India`s hopes of qualifying for the ICC T20 World Cup last-four hinge on Afghanistan beating the Kane Williamson-led New Zealand in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
Following two big defeats -- to Pakistan by 10 wickets and New Zealand by eight wickets -- in the Group 2 `Super 12` stage, India were down to fifth on the points table with an abysmal Net Run Rate (NRR). But emphatic victories over Afghanistan and Scotland have seen them do one part right -- drastically improve the NRR. While their drubbing of Afghanistan took their NRR from -1.609 to +0.073, the eight-wicket win over Scotland on Friday evening achieved in 6.3 overs, further bolstered their NRR to +1.619.
