The big victory against Afghanistan has revived India's hopes of reaching the semi-finals of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. But it will be a very tight race with India's chances not only depending on the results of their matches but also those of other teams in Group 2. With nine matches to go in the Super 12 stage, Pakistan, who have won all their four matches so far, are the only confirmed semi-finalist, and Scotland, the only team out of contention. <div type="image" title="0134a1e665a6bfd71655e5373d35eaa9" msid="87522655" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;India&amp;#39;s R Ashwin, celebrates with Indian Captain Virat Kohli after taking wicket during the Cricket Twenty20 World Cup match between India and Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Thus, New Zealand, Afghanistan, India, and Namibia are still mathematically in contention for the second semi-final place from the group in what could be a thrilling conclusion to the Super 12 stage. Among the pre-tournament favourites, India found themselves on the brink of elimination following heavy defeats to Pakistan and New Zealand in their first two matches. The big win over Afghanistan helped, but their likeliest road to the semi-finals is registering further huge wins over each of their next two opponents while hoping Afghanistan beat New Zealand by the barest of margins so that they can catch up on NRR. Any loss would end India's qualification hopes, and if New Zealand win their remaining games then there is nothing India can do. In short: India need a favour from Afghanistan against New Zealand and more big winning margins. <div type="image" title="9ee4fa5f4f290390b524569c182b4a03" msid="87522720" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Afghanistan&amp;#39;s Mohammad Shahzad collides with India&amp;#39;s Hardik Pandya during the Cricket Twenty20 World Cup match between India and Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi, UAE.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Things look a lot easier for New Zealand, though they too have to win all their matches to secure a place in the last four. On paper, the Black Caps have got their two toughest games out of the way, suffering a loss to Pakistan before winning comfortably against India. If they win their remaining two matches they will be guaranteed a spot in the next stage. A victory over Afghanistan paired with a loss to Namibia would see them relying on both India and Namibia's results and NRR. A win over Namibia and then a defeat to Afghanistan would also see it come down to NRR, with three teams potentially level on six points after five matches. Afghanistan have the edge currently over New Zealand on NRR, and India have the advantage of playing the last game in the group so would know exactly the permutations involved. However, Afghanistan's heavy defeat to India on Wednesday night has made their position in Group 2 far less stable. They now must beat New Zealand in their final group game to qualify, and even then a victory in that match may not be sufficient, although they do still have the best NRR in the group. Lose to New Zealand and they are certainly out. If the next set of Group 2 results go to form and New Zealand beat Namibia and India beat Scotland, then it will all come down to NRR if Afghanistan beat the Black Caps on Sunday. The NRR permutations on the final day are not yet clear, but it could be the case that India play Namibia in the final game of the Super 12 stage knowing exactly what they need to do in order to finish in second place in the group. It would also come down to NRR if Afghanistan beat New Zealand and Namibia manage victories over the Black Caps and India. In short: Victory over New Zealand could be enough for Afghanistan, but NRR is still vital Mathematically, Namibia are still in contention for the lone qualification spot from this group. Having registered a memorable win over Scotland in their first-ever Super 12 match, Namibia are still in the chase despite chastening defeats to Afghanistan and Pakistan. If they win both their remaining matches, they will have a chance to re'ch the semi-finals. Of course, that won't be easy given their next two opponents are New Zealand and India. They are relying on other results and, given their NRR, even two victories over their much-fancied opponents is unlikely to be enough. But they still have a chance.

The <keyword id="22177" type="SPORT" weightage="20" keywordseo="world-cup">World Cup</keyword> League 2, which forms part of the qualifying pathway to the 2023 World Cup, was scheduled to see 18 ODIs played across the sixth, seventh and eighth series of the <keyword id="5189" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="competition">competition</keyword>. The postponed series included table-toppers Oman who were due to host second-placed USA and seventh-placed Nepal for six ODIs between March 19 and 28. The seventh series of the competition scheduled PNG who sit at the foot of the standings to host Oman and third-placed Scotland between April 14 and 24. The final series which will need to be rescheduled was to see PNG play host again, with USA and fourth-placed Namibia travelling to the Pacific to play six ODIs between May 13 and 23. "The postponements are due to the current travel restrictions between countries, the quarantine time required before matches and the recent surge in Covid-19 cases," an ICC media release stated. The ICC said that it will now work with hosts and participating members to find an appropriate window where the qualification pathway fixtures can be safely and practically rescheduled before the cut-off date of February 28, 2023. The window for rescheduling fixtures has been extended to the latest possible date to provide the best opportunity for qualification to be determined on the field of play. The next series scheduled in the competition is in July this year where Scotland are due to host Nepal and Namibia for six ODIs. The World Cup League 2 is a three-and-half-year competition involving seven teams that are two steps away from the 2023 World Cup. At the culmination of the 21 tri-series, the top three teams in the standings will confirm their place in the World Cup Qualifier 2023. The bottom four teams will drop into the World Cup Qualifier Play-Off 2023 - which is a repechage event to the Global Qualifier - and will be joined by the winner of Challenge League A and B. The top two teams from the Play-Off will keep their hopes alive of participating in 2023 World Cup, by qualifying for the World Cup Qualifier 2023.

ICC postpones three upcoming series in World Cup League 2 due to Covid-19

The Covid pandemic might have battered the cinema exhibition industry's core business but it has also accelerated diversification, <keyword id="799" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="pvr" source="Orion">PVR</keyword>'s Chief Executive <keyword id="9154" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="gautam-dutta" source="Orion">Gautam Dutta</keyword> said. In a conversation with IANS, Dutta said the pandemic has given a push to diversify the business and fully utilise available resources. "We have forayed into new segments such as packaged F&amp;B (PVR popcorn) and now 'V-Pristine'. The pandemic gave us time and the necessity to plan for these new ventures," he said. "There are other new initiatives as well that we plan to launch in the near future. These new products will cater to the growing demand for differentiated and specialised services like 'V-Pristine'." Recently, PVR forayed into customised cleaning and disinfecting solutions for commercial and residential segments under its new business vertical 'V-Pristine'. At present, 'V-Pristine' is available in Delhi-NCR with more than 1,000 residences and offices across 46 cities covered in the first phase of trials covering six months. Besides, the company has tied-up with Reliance Industries' retail subsidiary for starting <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword>'s first ever open-air rooftop theatre -- Jio Drive-in -- at the premium shopping mall, Jio World Drive (<keyword id="12452736" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jwd" source="Orion">JWD</keyword>) in Mumbai. The drive-in theatre will be operated by PVR and would have capacity for 290 cars and boasts of the biggest cinema screen in town. Additionally, the company has collaborated with Esports company <keyword id="3492146" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="nodwin-gaming" source="Orion">NODWIN Gaming</keyword> to launch India's first "In-Cinema Esports" live tournaments. On the company's core business, Dutta said that pent-up demand, along with new content, has drawn in moviegoers, thereby accelerating the recovery. The sector, formally known as 'cinema exhibition industry', has been one of the hardest hit due to the Covid-19 pandemic, causing revenue and employment loss. Till recently, cinemas and multiplexes in many states remained in the list of prohibited activities to curb the spread of the pandemic. However, accelerated pace of vaccination as well as easing Covid restrictions and lower transmission rates have turned the tide for the sector. Besides, new local, global and regional content have once again lured many moviegoers back from online streaming platforms to theatres. "Rising vaccination levels, lower infection rate and release of big-ticket movies has brought back moviegoers." "With lesser to no capacity restrictions, we believe that pre-pandemic levels will be achieved within the next few months." However, he cautioned that the growth will be stalled if another Covid wave hits the country. Furthermore, Dutta pointed out that festive season as well as healthy line-up of movie releases will surely boost the footfall levels at the company's properties. "This year we have new content coming in from international, domestic and regional studios." "Some markets in the north and in the South India region are close to reaching their pre-pandemic levels." Currently, PVR is the largest film exhibition company in India. It operates a cinema circuit comprising of 856 screens at 179 properties in 72 cities in India and Sri Lanka.

Ever wonder where your favorite animated movies are actually set?
