NRR will only matter if SA beats Ind, Pak beats SL and Ind beats SL. Then there will be 3 teams with 4 points.
If Pak beats SL and India beats SA, then both India and Pak should be through, NRR won't matter.
At this point Indian is considerably ahead in NRR.
ESPNCricinfo says if everything stays the same, we'll win and our NRR will go from -3.024 to -1.33
Calcu: "No pak NRR will be -105/68 as Sa's score will be considered 100 in 27 overs." -- Ah, fair point. I went with their 50-over score.
Yup, it's not down to NRR quite yet. Good thing is we can now prepare physically & mentally for the next task ahead which is to beat Sri Lanka. It's not a forgone conclusion as many here think! They are strong at chasing, so a weak batting performance from Pakistan will lose the game for us! I think we can talk more about NRR after the India vs Sri Lanka game. If it all goes according to prediction & India wins, then surely SL ALL but out of the tournament. This will help Pakistan big because it takes away SL team's desire to win the last game.
I back Pakistan to go through based on two points:
1) If Sri Lanka lose to India, they might not be up for the last game and will want to just go home as they "practically" cannot advance
2) Pakistan's game is second, and so we will know exactly what we need to do in order to topple either SA/India in the event that India drops 2 points.
So from a Pakistani perspective India either wins against SA or in the case it loses to SA it goes onto lose to SL as well.
Tomorrow is SL vs IND, and if SL wins then I'll back South Africa vs IND, and again we can be through after winning against SL...
Seems very tough though.
If SL wins and SA also beat India. Then SA qualify and Pak vs SL becomes virtual quarterfinal. India fly home.
Exciting times ahead. All four teams in it.
I think both India and PAK did favours for reach other.
Firstly IND did a favour by losing to SL thereby removing the NRR out of the question. Remember PAK had a bad NET after the drubbing they received in the hands of IND.
Next PAK made it easier for IND by removing ENG who were the favourites thereby making it easier for IND.
you didn't get his point.no team did anyone a favor.
if india had won against sri lanka, it would still remain the same. if india lost to south africa, it would have gone out because of two losses. one to lanka and one to south africa while we'd qualify at india s expense.
you didn't get his point.
if India had won SL game and lost to SA, Pakistan would not have qualified for finals even after beating SL and SA as their NRR was so poor.
you didn't get my point. if india had lost to south africa the whole situation would have been super fluid again. you never know how bad a loss can be.
Can anyone calculate what NRR did we end up with after the final?
