The victory over Zimbabwe gave India:
- Crucial 2 points
- A boost in Net Run Rate (NRR)
- Momentum heading into the final group matches
However, qualification still depends on upcoming results.

- Big-margin victories play a major role.
🎯 Key Factors for Semi-final Spot
- Strong starts in the powerplay
- Controlled bowling in the death overs
- Smart batting approach under pressure
