Step by Step direction to the second round
Step 1:
Beat Srilanka.
Step 2: (If Step 1 doesn't happen)
SriLanka beats India.
Step 3a: (If Step 1 & Step 2 don't happen)
We have the last game. Do all the NRR calculations done before the match. We are lucky we got the last game and control our destiny (toss willing-50% chance). Take an extra batsman, Rajin, instead of Rasel.
Step 3b: (Win the toss) That's because if Bermuda wants to bat first, our tournament is almost over. You can't improve aggregate Net Run Rates that much by chasing. Every game don't have equal weight.
Step 3c:
Bat first. Execute according to our NRR calculation. Go for World record totals from the first over. Make sure Ganguli or Golla doesn't open for us.
