However, even the three wins might not be enough. It also needs to expect both Afghanistan and New Zealand to lose at least one of their remaining matches. Upon this, the net run rate would come into play. But, even that could fall short, as the heavy defeats have densely impacted its NRR, which is down to -1.609, compared to Afghan's +3.097 and Kiwis' +0.765. Thus, India has to win its residual matches by vital margins.

On the other hand, if Afghanistan and New Zealand lose more than one of their remaining matches, while India wins its three, it could give India a better chance at qualification. Thus, clearly, India has lost it upon itself to stand a chance to qualify, while it would be complicated to halt either Afghan or Kiwis. Only a miracle now can save India.
