CAN INDIA STILL REACH THE FINALS

India can reach finals even after losing on Sunday
Scenario : If India lose on Sunday and win on Tuesday, then Australia have to beat Sri Lanka on March 2

In a situation where India lose their match on Sunday against the hosts at SCG, they can still make the finals along with Australia. For this, India will have to win their last league game on Tuesday against Sri Lanka in Hobart with a bonus point. And Australia should beat Sri Lanka on Friday, March 2, in Melbourne, which will be the last day of preliminary round.

Then the points will be 15 for India. In such a case, both will have 15 points each.

Then, according to tournament rules, India will pip their Asian neighbours into the finals on the basis of number of wins against them.

When two teams are tied with same points, then the team with most number of wins will go through to the finals. But in such a case, India and Sri Lanka both would have ended with three victories apiece. Then, the head-to-head record will be seen to determine who plays in the finals, meaning the most number of wins against the other opposition. India would have beaten srilanka twice and this will sail them into the finals. Sri Lanka had defeated India only once in Brisbane and the other game was tied.

Tournament Rules

Win without bonus point: 4 points

Loss: 0

Win with bonus point: 5 (Bonus point is awarded to that team which achieves a run rate of 1.25 or higher than the other in the match)

Tie or No Result: 2 points each

In case of teams finishing on equal points, then the finalist will be decided as per the following:

1. Team with most number of victories

2. If still equal, then head-to-head in the league stages. Team with more wins against the other team which is locked on same on points.

3. If still same, then team with most bonus points

4. If still tied, then the team with highest net run rate
