India's chances of making it to the semis are still alive. On Monday, it has to win in its final game against Afghanistan in an emphatic fashion. In the meantime, Pakistan plays its last match against host United Arab Emirates (UAE) on the same day. A loss for the former would guarantee India's semis berth, provided the latter defeats the Afghans.
