Why India Still Not Reached Into Semis Of ICC Men’s World Cup 2023?

Even though India is right now standing on the top of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 point table with 12 points from 6 winning innings. Still, numerically they are not assured of a place in the knockouts phase of the tournament. Even though they have a 100% winning rate, there is a possibility to fail in adding new points or NRR to their total points table.

If teams like South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and Afghanistan bag 12 points to their points tally. If any of these teams collects 12 or more points or else increases their Net run rate than the India team then there is no chance to enter into the semis of the World Cup 2023.

One more way to make the semi-finals for India is if any of their residual group match is washed out and the points are shared.
