After three rounds of matches the qualification stakes in Group 2 are beginning to take shape, with South Africa in pole position and Pakistan still in a heap of trouble. But it’s still all to play for as the teams battle for a spot in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 semi-finals. We take a look at the state of play as things stand Who’s in the driving seat to reach the semi-finals? South Africa’s win over India means they jump into top spot in the group on five points. India and Bangladesh are hot on their heels, both on four points. A net run rate of +0.844 gives India the edge between those two sides, but Wednesday’s India v Bangladesh fixture now looks even more pivotal. Zimbabwe’s stunning win over Pakistan had given them a chance, but their dramatic loss to Bangladesh means it will take something remarkable for them to finish in the top two from here. South Africa’s Net RR of +2.772, created by the crushing 104-run win over Bangladesh, means they are now clear favourites to quali

'Rahul Gandhi is silent...': BJP slams Congress after Dalit student killed for touching water pot in Rajasthan

 Jaipur: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday slammed the Congress government in Rajasthan after a Dalit student was allegedly killed for touching a water pot. BJP National Secretary Y Satya Kumar shared a report saying the incident was embarrassing. "Incidents of atrocities on Dalits are increasing continuously in the state. Rahul Gandhi, who has commented on every subject of the country, has been silent," the BJP leader said.

Rajasthan BJP chief Satish Poonia said that a person commits such acts when they no longer fear the administration. "This countless spate of incidents shows that the state Chief Minister and Home Minister are helpless. The guilty must be brought to book," he said.

Markram, Miller lead South Africa to a tense win in a tricky run chase

India got off to a rocky start after opting to bat first with the South Africa quicks enjoying the pace and bounce in Perth. While Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul pummelled a six apiece early on, Ngidi sent back Rohit with a short ball that hurried up the Indian skipper and found the top edge off the pull. Rahul fell soon after, edging Ngidi to the slip cordon in the same over to depart for nine. Virat Kohli got into groove with a fine drive followed by a flick, both racing away for boundaries, but he fell on the pull too, top edging Lungi Ngidi to Rabada in the deep.  Kohli, though, completed 1000 runs in the T20 World Cup, becoming the first after Mahela Jayawardene and the first Indian to the milestone. But the milestone was overshadowed by stop India's struggles against the searing pace of the South African quicks. Deepak Hooda, who had come in for Axar Patel, fell to Anrich Nortje and India found themselves in a similar situation to that against Pakistan - at 42/4 in the 8th over. H
