Watch: Scotland Wicket-Keeper encourages bowler to take wicket for India

New Zealand is playing Scotland in a World Cup match that has many Indians riveted to their TV screens. Indian hopes will be boosted by Scotland's victory, since the team still has three games remaining.

Assuming Kohli and his team win comfortably against Afghanistan, Scotland, and Namibia on Sunday, they will be far ahead of New Zealand, their closest competitors. Kane Williamson's team must first lose against Afghanistan and Scotland in order for it to happen.

On Wednesday, Scotland wicketkeeper Matt Cross won over Indian supporters by informing spinner Chris Greaves that he had the support of the "Whole of India." T20 World Cup match between Scotland and New Zealand was disrupted by the accident.

In the wake of Sunday's defeat to New Zealand, India's prospects of advancing to the semi-finals are now dwindling. A different outcome is required for the team captained by Virat Kohli to have any chance of making it to the semi-finals.

For India's chances to improve, the All Blacks must suffer at least one more defeat than New Zealand. In the 8th over of the Black Caps' innings, Scotland keeper Cross was heard telling Chris Greaves that "the whole of India is behind you here," indicating that he was well aware of the situation.

With its top three players out of the lineup, Scotland is holding their own against the overwhelming might of the Blackcaps. Every Scotland player is aware that they have the support of 1.4 billion people throughout the world, in addition to their own country. Matthew Cross, the wicketkeeper, informed bowler Chris Greaves, and it was recorded on the stump mic.

"The whole of India is behind you," he was overheard proclaiming. In Abu Dhabi, India will take against Afghanistan, who they've just lost to twice in a row. Only if Afghanistan loses will the scenarios be successful. Greaves has been a standout performance for Scotland in both the batting and bowling departments so far in the competition. He has 84 runs and four wickets to his credit in six games.
