Wrong Calculation

this calculation is wrong for the case if Bermuda bats first in BD/bermuda game. If Bermuda bats first and get out on 50 and then if BD achieve the target in 6th over then they can overtake the indian NRR.
This is the only remote possibility which can prevent india from moving ahead.

Well Pankaj, your calculation is wrong. Here's how...

If Bermuda is bowled out for 50 runs and SL scores 51 runs in 6 overs, the NRR calculations for Bangladesh will be something like this...

NRR = Total Run Rate by Bangladesh - Total Run Rate Against Bangladesh

NRR = ((192 112 51) / (48.5 50 6)) - ((191 318 50) / (50 50 50))

NRR = (355 / 104.5) - (559 / 150)

NRR = 3.397 - 3.727

NRR = -0.33 ... which is far below India's Net Run Rate even if India scrapes through for a win against Sri Lanka.

Darn! the 'plus' signs were stripped off automatically!

It should be 192 plus 112 plus 51 ... 191 plus 318 plus 50... and so on...
