India lost the first two matches of the current T20 World Cup. After the loss to Pakistan-New Zealand, Rohit and Kohli, who came on the field with the mission of winning the title, got worried after crossing the hurdle of Super Twelve.

However, in the next two matches, India increased their net run rate by losing to Afghanistan and Scotland. However, they are not doing so much. Kohli wants to win against Namibia tomorrow. Meanwhile, that victory will not be of any use again, if Afghanistan loses to New Zealand today.

New Zealand won three of the four matches in the Super Twelve by 6 points. Why Williamson's team will go to the last four with 6 points after losing to Afghans today. But if Rashid-Nabira can kill Kiwi, then the road to India is clear.

Defeating New Zealand will not only benefit India. Afghanistan will have a chance to reach the last four. The Afghans, led by Mohammad Nabi, have won two World Cups so far. Their points are equal to 4 in India. If they can beat New Zealand today, the team will be ahead of New Zealand by two runs as they are ahead in net run rate.

For the first time since those two, the Afghans will play in a World Cup semi-final if India loses or wins the last match so as not to overtake them in the net run rate. All in all, today's match will largely determine the fate of the three teams.

They are in such a hurry to win the match!

The theme song of the 2014 Twenty20 World Cup held in Bangladesh is one of the most popular theme songs in the history of the World Cup. It was through this song that the spectators turned to watch the thunderous match on or off the field in the T20 World Cup!

However, in this format of the World Cup, sometimes the spectators have to burn in those four-six overs. If a team is all out for less than a hundred, the opponent chases the run very quickly. It's like a line from one of Anupam Roy's most popular songs, 'Where the beginning ends before the end'. There are six examples in the history of cricket, four of which happened again in this World Cup!

1. March 24, 2014; Venue: Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chittagong, Bangladesh;

Netherlands: 39/10 (10.3), Sri Lanka: 40/1 (5); Result: Sri Lanka won by 9 wickets.

Sri Lanka averaged the world record of winning the World Cup with the most balls in hand. Ajantha Mendis (2.3-0-12-3) and Angelo Mathews (4-0-18-3) bowled brilliantly to stop the Dutch run for 39 runs. The Sri Lankans won the match by 15 overs, with 90 balls to spare, after beating a team by the lowest score in World Cup history.

1. November 4, 2021; Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, United Arab Emirates;

Bangladesh: 63/10 (15), Australia: 7/2 (7.2); Result: Australia won by 8 wickets.

This is what happened two days ago. Budd was in a hurry to win the match in Australia in the afternoon in Dubai. Matching the net run rate was the biggest reason behind this. Australia sent Bangladesh to bat after winning the toss in this match of Super Twelve. Adam Jumper (4-0-19-5) was poisoned by spin and Bangladesh was reduced to 63 runs. In reply, Finch went into batting and played a deadly role from the beginning. The Aussie captain scored 40 off 20 balls with four sixes and two fours. After the captain's departure, Mitchell Marsh (5 * 16 *) led Australia to a quick victory.

1. November 5, 2021; Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, United Arab Emirates;

Scotland: 85/10 (18.4), India: 69/2 (6.3)
Result: India won by 8 wickets.

A day after the collapse of Bangladesh, Scotland witnessed the same cruelty in Dubai. This time India carried out violence. The reason for India's haste was to increase the net run rate. That is why two Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Lokesh Rahul were on target from the start in the 7-run target given by Scotland.

In particular, Rahul may have been referred to by the Scottish bowlers as 'Tornado Rahul' that day. Because this opener picked up the fifth off 18 balls, which is the second-fastest among the Indians after Yuvraj Singh (50 off 12 balls). Although Rahul himself could not finish, India ended the game with 39 balls in Suryakumar Yadav's straight-six.

1. October 22, 2021; Venue: Sharjah Cricket Stadium, United Arab Emirates;

Netherlands: 44/10 (10); Sri Lanka: 45/2 (6.1); Result: Sri Lanka won by 6 wickets.

Chittagong, Sharjah - none of the Sri Lankan cities. Even then, wherever the Sri Lanka-Netherlands match is, the Sri Lankan players seem to be the 'Lankan Ravana' to the Dutch. The Sri Lankan bowlers bowled out the Dutch for 44 runs. Sri Lanka ended the match with 43 balls, despite opener Kushal Perera (33 off 24 balls) batting slowly for 45 runs.

1. September 12, 2006; Venue: Kingsmead, Durban;

Kenya: 83/10 (18.5); New Zealand: 74/1 (6.4); Result: New Zealand won by 9 wickets.

This happened in the first edition of the World Cup. New Zealand decided to field after winning the toss in Durban. Kenya was bowled out for 63 by Kiwi pacers (Mark Gillespie: 2.5-0-6-4, Shane Bond: 4-1-12-2, Chris Martin: 4-1-14-2). Two Kiwi openers Louis Vincent (28 off 20 balls) and Brendon McCullum (18 off 13 balls) scored 40 runs in 4.3 overs. After Vincent's departure, McCullum took Peter Fulton (21 off 14 balls) with 48 balls to take the Kiwis to victory.

1. October 23, 2021; Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, United Arab Emirates;

West Indies: 55/10 (14.2); England: 56/4 (7.2); Result: England won by 8 wickets.

Five years have passed between Kolkata and Dubai. Carlos Brathwaite, none of Ben Stokes this time. Even then, the English players could not forget Ian Bishop's sentence 'Carlos Brathwaite, remember the name'.

England won the toss and elected to bowl in Dubai. West Indies were bowled out for 55 by two spinners (Adil Rashid: 2.2-0-2-4, Moin Ali: 4-1-18-2). Although the Caribbeans struggled to defend that run, the English won by 6 wickets with 60 balls in hand.
