favourites?! Sri Lanka are probably gonna beat Aussie next match!
Correct me if I am wrong but from table it seems that all lanka has to do is to avoid a 'big' defeat against Australia in the final preliminary game.Lanka and India have = points but Sri has better NRR or does it come down who has beaten the other side more rather than NRR when sides are equally matched in terms of points.
Jono,
Australia will do the professional job on SL but regret it later
PR, here are the rules for you:
In the event of teams finishing on equal points, the right to play in the final match or series will be determined as follows:
* The team with the most number of wins
* If still equal, the team with the most number of wins over the other team(s) who are equal on points and have the same number of wins
* If still equal, the team with the highest number of bonus points
* If still equal, the team with the highest net run rate
India Favourites
If India wins from here, this will be the most remarkable comeback ever since 99 WC.
Australia hasn't got anything substantial to rally them up for a victory when it doesn't matter win lose or draw they are in the final.
I've got no doubt they will go out against Sri-Lanka in an effort to win but when that extra bit is required for an extra run or a run out, I'm not sure they will be driven to get through the barrier it requires when it's for nothing.
Unles of course they would prefer to play India.....
India were very lucky to win the toss because had Sri-Lanka sent India into bat the bonus point would of been near impossible to get......very good toss to win....
