Yes ofcourse we need to beat either SL or England. Now the thing is even after beating England or SL either one of them will probably be tied with us and then NRR will be a big factor. Now, we all know that a team like us usually loses out on NRR which happened so often in the past. 2011 WC for example as we all know brothers and sisters.
A friend of mine who lives in Brisbane claims that there is a possiblity of a cyclone for which the match might be called off with the players remaining in the vicinity of their hotel rooms, safe and sound. Honestly we might be deprived of practice but I think we can argue that playing against Aus won't really help us get the preferred practice not to mention we expect a mauling which will dent our mental conditions.
