No one even thought in the early morning when Sri Lanka was batting that India will fight back and at the end Cricket will win. At the early begining of the match the way SriLankan Players(especially Dilshan and Sangakkara) were batting, it was looking like India has given up. But who knows Cricket is a FUNNY game. you can’t predict anything in Cricket. The way Indians played(especially KOHLI), they kept themself alive for the finals.
I don’t think this tournament can come in any better way, at the halfway stage, Sri Lanka would have felt they had one foot in the final, having left the India bowlers deflated after a dominating performance with the bat. And they would have been right to think that way, the Indian batting having shown little promise in the series and the team on the brink of elimination.
But Virat Kohli put a master peice of strokemaking, Kohli’s innings made a mockery of an imposing score, kept India’s finals hopes alive and left Sri Lanka having to beat Australia for a third time in the tournament to knock India out.
Hope for Reaching in Final is still Alive.. here how it possible..
Now India and SL both is having same 15 points, in this case if Sl is loosing the match against Australia then this is the way two best team is goign to decide.
In the event of teams finishing on equal points, the right to play in the final match or series will be determined as follows:
•The team with the most number of wins
•If still equal, the team with the most number of wins over the other team(s) who are equal on points and have the same number of wins
•If still equal, the team with the highest number of bonus points
•If still equal, the team with the highest net run rate
In a match declared as no result, run rate is not applicable.
So comming Friday Cheers for Australia and Hope for the best for Indian Cricket.
