BE WARNED! Something wrong with calculations!!
by on Mar 22, 2007 01:44 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

My calculations show that for Bangladesh to have NRR of 1.7, then need only a margin of 185 runs. Which means, if they make 285 and dismiss Bermuda for 100, they are through and India is doomed.

The calculations were hypothetical to make india go in second round. What if India loses to Srilanka, and Bangladesh registers just a win over Bermuda?

BD scored 192 against India in 48.3 overs and scored 112 against SL in 50 overs ie 304 runs in 98.3 overs which gives a runrate of 3.08

India scored 191 in 50 overs and SL scored 317 in 50 overs ie 508 runs in 100 overs which gives a run rate of 5.08.

NRR = RR scored for - RR scored against

NRR = 3.08 - 5.08 = -2.00

My freind... ur calculations are wrong... you have to take in total runs in 3 matches divided by total overs in 3 matches. If the team has won any match then, only those overs they have used to win that match will be calculated. think u must have understood a little bit abt the calculation now..

My apologies, yes I was wrong. BTW, it would be interesting if India loses to SL and Bermuda wins over Bangla. But I guess in that case, India will go through anyway.
