In the Super 8 stage, India and West Indies both have 2 points. The winner of their match will go straight to the semifinals with South Africa
If heavy rain stops the match and no result is possible, both teams will get one point each. There is no reserve day in this stage, so the points table will decide the semifinal spot
If the match is abandoned, India and West Indies will finish with the same number of points. When teams have equal points, the next deciding factor is net run rate
Net run rate shows how strongly a team has performed in the tournament. Right now, West Indies have a better net run rate than India. This gives them the edge if rain plays spoilsport
South Africa have already secured their place in the semifinals. They are not affected by this result and are waiting to see who joins them in the top two
India cannot depend on rain or net run rate. To safely reach the semifinals, they must win the match. A victory will confirm their place in the next round
