If srilanka Looses the Match agianst means,It is Helpful to Srilanka. Strange Right? Yes it is "In the next level Srilanka Wont play with the same group team, But All the teams will play agianst its groupteam say india for example. If Bangladesh in super 8 along with Srilanka, Almost all the teams get One Win over bangladesh for sure. So srilanka chances to go to semis will be very less. As other teams get one Easy win. So You can imgine easily , as Irland is along with Westindies, So no chance that Westindies will go to Semifinal. So You can eliminate Westindies and Iralnd from Super 8. now itself.

dear friend, one problem is there!!! If India enters the Super 8 with Lanka, then India will carry 2 points & not Lanka. Tat is a major dis adv for Lanka. But we all want INDIA to Play superbly & win the match with Lanka

actually it remains irrelevant for Srilanka. if bangladesh qualifies, srilanka will carry 2 points and other 7 will also get 2 points against bangladesh. no profit no loss. if India qualifies, srilanka carries no points and other 7 are at par to get or not to get. but if India doesnt play well in super 8, other 6 can have 2 points against India while srilanka not having them. so chances of loss for srilanka but of no profit for them. hence, srilanka may choose to enter with bangladesh.
but watever they want India will play well on Friday, beat srilanka and carry 2 points to super 8. Best of luck Indian team...

No. Mr. You are wrong, if Sri Lanka Loses to India, it won't carry 2 points because it has lost the match to India. But if Sri Lanka Wins against India, it will carry 2 points with them becuase they have already defeated Bangladesh.
