Unbeaten India topped Group 1 with six points, while Afghanistan knocked out Australia to finish second with four points to progress to the semis. In Group 2, South Africa qualified for the last-four stage as the toppers with six points, followed by defending champions England with four points.
T20 WORLD CUP: Schedule Points Table
The line-up is as follows:
Semifinal 1: South Africa vs Afghanistan, June 27, 6 am IST
Semifinal 2: India vs England, June 27, 8 pm IST
An important aspect of the semifinals stage is that while the first semifinal has a reserve day in place, the second semifinal does not.
In case either of the semifinal ends in no-result, the team with a superior performance in the 'Super 8s' stage progresses to the final. In that eventuality, South Africa will adance from the first semifinal and India from the second.
The final is scheduled for June 29 in Barbados.
