"Priority should be winning": Pathan advices India to not focus on NRR during must-win Zimbabwe clash

Feb 25, 2026

Following their 76-run battering to South Africa, their biggest in T20WC history, defending champions India are left at the mercy of South Africa, needing them to go unbeaten, besides winning their own two remaining clashes against Zimbabwe and the West Indies. In case this scenario does not pan out, net-run-rate will decide India's fortunes in the tournament. But with WI having their NRR in excess of +5 and SA having it in excess of +3, it would not be easy for India to topple either of these net-run-rates, as their net-run-rate lies in the negatives. Proteas not going unbeaten could very well spell the end of their campaign.

South Africa will be aiming to continue their winning momentum in the tournament as they look to take on a red-hot West Indies side, which posted the tournament's second-highest total of 254 against Zimbabwe. A win for the Proteas will not only strengthen their bid to become the second team to reach the semifinals after England but also keep the defending champions India alive in the competition.
