Run Rate Does Not Matter Anymore..

But only if Sri Lanka beats India. This is true even if Bangladesh loses to Bermuda since Bangladesh beat India.

Is that correct ?

NO. Bangladesh has to beat Bermuda and Srilanka has to beat India then and then only it will hold true.

Not according to Sky Sports. Apparently result against each other count ahead of NRR. NRR only apply when 3 sides are involved.

I wasn't aware of this myself.

Any example scenario?

[Imtiazk]

Sorry, let me correct myself. Bangladesh has to beat Bermuda [ if SL beats India ] , otherwise all 3 countries will have 2 points each and then India will go through.

In that case, we are again talking about 3 teams involved. With your scenario, SL wins 3 game and Bangladesh, IND and Bermuda each winning 1 game, then NRR comes into play!!

Now RR matters the most. If we loose to Bermuda, there is no way. Head to head does not count for a penny here. Its all RR.

Look at the whole bunch of articles in CI about India's chances to go thru. No one mentioned head to head for once. Different tournaments has different rules. Like our club cricket, head to head counts ahead of NRR. But, not in here.

if SL beats india, and we beat bermuda (regardless of margin of victory), we'll go through. SL will have 6 points, we'll have 4 points, and india will have 2 points.

I heard it as well. Even if we are beaten by Bermuda still we will qualify although I don't think we will loose to them.

[inspyr9]

[inspyr9]

sorry pataite

@Don: go take a nap. you know you want it :P

@oporajeyo_Bangla: thank you for clarifying.

If SL beats India and BD beats Bermuda by 1 run.. we EASILY go through considering the fact we won 2 matches out of 3 and India won 1 ( only against Bermuda ) loosing to us and SL..and Bermuda lost all 3!
But its unlikely.. India will beat SL SOMEHOW..maybe even buy the ICC < lol..dravid becomes the CEO of ICC..and tada!!
Whatever..im an optimist..but now.. even i know..we are out of the worldcup.
Atleast we defeated India.

[tonoy]

lets hope sl beats india so we dont have to calculate anything. I would love to see our play more cricket.

[BangladeshCricket]

if IND wins we are packing our bags. period.

Seems things are pretty bad for us. We can't do much but praying

What Bangladesh and India need to do to get into the Super 8
A must-win game for India
S Rajesh and Dileep V
March 21, 2007

Sri Lanka's 198-run win against Bangladesh has ensured them a place in the Super 8, while it has made things relatively simpler for India too - all they need to do is to win their last league match. Against a marauding Sri Lankan side, though, Rahul Dravid and co. will have their hands full.
The good news for India, however, is that Sri Lanka's margin of victory today means that for Bangladesh to make it to the Super Eight, Sri Lanka must beat India. (A washout will do nicely too, but with a reserve day in hand, it's unlikely that a decisive result won't be reached.) As the points table shows, Bangladesh have a net run rate of -2.002. Regardless of the margin by which they beat Bermuda (if they lose to Bermuda, they're surely out of the tournament), their NRR won't improve enough to go beyond India's 2.51. Here are a couple of scenarios from each of the two matches remaining in the group which explain why.
India versus Sri Lanka
Scenario 1 Sri Lanka bat first, score 260, and India win with one over to spare
Sri Lanka's NRR will drop from 4.59 to 2.99, while India's will drop marginally to 1.72.
Scenario 2 India bat first, score 265, and win by 2 runs
Sri Lanka's NRR will be 2.98, while India's will be 1.69.
For Bangladesh to then make it to the Super 8, they'll need to go past India's NRR. However, as the two scenarios below show, the gap between the two NRRs is just too large.
Bangladesh versus Bermuda
Scenario 1 Bangladesh score 300, and restrict Bermuda to 120 to win by 180 runs
Despite the huge margin of victory, Bangladesh's NRR will only improve to -0.08.
Scenario 2 Bermuda are bundled out for 120, and Bangladesh wipe off the target in 15 overs
In this case, due to the fact that Bangladesh will only bat 15 overs, their NRR will only increase to -0.7.
In either case, Bangladesh's NRR will be well below India's which means the only chance for them to get into the Super 8 is if Sri Lanka get past India. Given Sri Lanka's awesome form in their two matchs so far, though, it will need a brave man to bet against that happening.
