India have played four games in the Super 12 stage so far. The Men in Blue were handed their biggest-ever defeat in the T20 World Cup against Pakistan in their opening fixture. It was also Pakistan’s first-ever win against their arch-rivals in a World Cup match.

This was followed by another crushing defeat against New Zealand, which was a massive blow to India’s chances of making it to the semi-finals. India recorded convincing wins against Afghanistan and Scotland in their next two games to keep their hopes of making the last four alive.
