Afghanistan are second with four points and New Zealand are third with two wins and a loss. Scotland and Namibia are the bottom two sides. 

India will have to finish in the top two spots in order to book their place in the
semi-finals of the tournament. Here is a look at the path the team will undertake
after its win against Afghanistan. 

Scotland

Scotland is full of confidence after winning all of its first-round matches, including a famous victory over Bangladesh. They lost against New Zealand on Wednesday. Though India will be favorites going into this
match however they would be wary of an upset.

Namibia

Namibia reached the T20 World Cup second round for the first time. They defeated superior-ranked teams on the group stage. Yet India would look forward to grabbing easy
points when they face them in its last Super 12 match.
