PR India has 2 wins v SL so SL must win or tie v OZ to reach the final.
Ok so it 's down to which side has beaten the other more instead of NRR when they are = in points.
Yeah, pretty stupid considering it's traditionally done by run rate but I suppose by this method, it allows the more consistent team of the tournament to progress (not that India has been more consistent than SL to be frank).
But if a side cannot defend 320 odd in 37 overs, in my books they do not deserve a place in a final.What a crashing win.Must have been some inspirational talk by captain/ coach before they embarked on to chase 322
I doubt it to be honest, India just had to go for it so they did without much pressure. I think they need to play a bit more freely like today and let the batsmen play in their element.
