Sri Lanka Team World T20 Qualification scenarios

 

 GROUP 1

Sri Lanka (Points 2; NRR -0.171)

Sri Lanka have two tough matches lined up - against England and South Africa. The equation in front of them is simple - win both and qualify.

Matches left:

vs England, Delhi, 26 Mar 2016

vs South Africa, Delhi, 28 Mar 2016

Qualification scenarios:

- If they win both their remaining games, they qualify irrespective of NRR.

- If they beat England and miss out against South Africa, they have to rely on West Indies and Afghanistan heavily to progress further.

- If they lose to England and prevail over the Proteas, their only chance of staying afloat is Afghanistan beating either England or West Indies.

- If they lose both matches, they stand eliminated.
