Losing to Srilanka?
by Damodaran Govindaraju on Mar 22, 2007 05:46 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Mr.Rajneesh, How do u think India can still make to super * despite losing to Srilanka???

Even if Bangladesh loses to Bermuda, India & Bangladesh will be on same points, though india will have better runrate, head to head winner Bangladesh can only move to super 8.

So its clear that India has to win, let it be off the last ball with one wicket remaining or by 1 run margin.

INDIA HAS TO WIN

In such a scenario, India, Bangladesh and Bermuda will be tied on points. The next decider is Net Run Rate. Whichever team has better NRR will qualify.

Dear Manickavel,

If India loses to Srilanka, then Srilanka will top the group with 3 straight wins....

its only a question of India vs Bangladesh (only if improbably Bangladesh loses to bermuda) in this case Head to Head only counts

Man if Bermuda defeats Bangladesh, all 3 India, Bangla and Bermuda will have 1 wins each. So the final outcome will be NR. In that case India goes to Super 8. But I wud luv India to defeat SL and then go into super 8. I think they can do it.

India can make it to super 8 despite losing to Lankans provided Bermuda beats B'desh. In that case bermuda, b'desh and india will end with two points each and india having better run rate will head towards super eight.
