7 Similarities between 2007 World T20 and 2016 World T20: India on the path to glory again?

India and New Zealand were the two teams to qualify for the semifinals from the same group

India and New Zealand progressed to the semi-finals from their group

In both tournaments, two teams that qualified for the semifinals from one group were New Zealand and India. However, there is a little difference in the way qualification came about.

In 2007, New Zealand were eagerly waiting for the result of the match between South Africa and India because that game would decide which two teams would get into the semifinals. However, in this event, having won four out of their four matches, New Zealand did not have any worries as they had qualified in the best possible manner.

This is how it has been so far. India are well on course to a second title as far as the ‘signs’ are concerned. The only thing that might have reinforced this scenario was a tie which comes as a blessing when Dhoni is captaining a side in any tournament.

However, these are just predictions at the end of the day; we can only behold what the future holds when the time comes. So now we just have to wait and see.
