Overview
- Heavy rain in Navi Mumbai washed out India’s outdoor training on Tuesday, forcing the team indoors while New Zealand managed to practice at DY Patil and the nearby university ground.
- India and New Zealand are level on four points, with India ahead on net run rate after a 2–0 start followed by three straight losses, and New Zealand holding one win and two washouts with a negative net run rate.
- A win on Thursday sends India to the semifinals; a loss would leave them needing to beat Bangladesh and hope England defeat New Zealand, with net run rate deciding a tie on six points.
- If the India–New Zealand match is washed out, India could still advance provided England beat New Zealand and Sri Lanka and Pakistan do not reach six points; double washouts for India would put them on six points with NRR likely to favor them if England do not lose to New Zealand.
- DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai was confirmed as the November 2 final venue, with Australia, South Africa and England already through to the last four and one semifinal slated for Navi Mumbai on October 30.
