Personally being a Indian Cricket Fan, i would love Indiam team to win todays match.
But Srilanka may look at following aspects and will make it difficult for us to beat them. 1. If SL Win today, they will enter to super-8 with better net runrate and 2 carryforward points, which will be handy. Bcaz Bangladesh and Irelad can easily be expected to be out of contest after playing super-8 round. So two more teams to be eliminated from the rest, which are likely to be England and WI.
2. If India wins, then India will carryforward the points and it requires only 3 wins to get a berth in Semis, where as Srilanka needs to win atlest one more match more than India to be in a better position. 3. And if India wins and enters Super-8, it is very likely that, England, Irelad, SL and WI may get eliminated after super-8.
So if SL loose today, they will face a tough challenge ahead in next rounds and will make their life difficult. Rather they prefer to beat India today and to be in a better position to qualify for the Semis.
So now its up to our team to play better cricket and win todays match or allowing SL to enter Super-8 with more advantage
