After a disappointing loss of Team India last night from New Zealand, everyone has lost hope that India will reach the semi-finals, but there is still a chance.
India lost to New Zealand by 8 wickets as the match got over in just 14.3 overs with New Zealand given to chasing a mere number of runs which was 110.
New Zealand won the match with 111/7 while India made 110/7 after the former went bowling first.
Team India lost for the 2nd time in T20 World Cup after Pakistan.
The 2nd defeat of India has made their chances to reach the semifinals almost zero but there is still hope.
New Zealand win the game, but #TeamIndia will look to make amends in their next match of the #T20WorldCup. #INDvNZ
