He is confident of his statement even though chances of team India qualifying for the semi-finals are bleak . Team India will qualify or not is a question that is dependant on the match between Pakistan and Australia.
India’s performance so far has not been satisfactory and it seems that the players are not willing to put in the effort and the fighting spirit of Team India seems to be diminishing with every game that they play . The main reason for this can be they absence of the key players in the team , also there is no key bowling line up in the team , infact it is the bowling part that is team India’s weakest link and has been a hindrance to their performance.
According to Rameez Raja India has always showed the ability to come out fighting when in a knockout stage and if the same is shown here then India might as well win the trophy.
India should maintain their focus and dedicatedly play the remaining games if they qualify for the semi-finals. People all over the world hope and pray for team India to strike back with great enthusiasm and focus in the remaining matches if they qualify for the semi-finals. If India has to qualify for the semi finals then firstly Pakistan would have to beat Australia and secondly India will have to win their match against West Indies with a huge margin. If the above two happen , then Team India will surely qualify for the semi-finals.
Indian fans all over the world are praying for the same.
All is now dependant on the match between Pakistan and Australia.
