India's current Net Run Rate = +2.51

By John Cheeran
India's Net Run Rate after playing two matches is at +2.51
After Sri Lanka routed Bangladesh, Bangladesh's Net Run Rate has plunged to -1.56.
Sri Lanka enjoys a huge Net Run Rate of +3.3
Sri Lanka's brutal win over Bangladesh has helped India's campaign to enter Super 8. India must beat Sri Lanka on Friday to get into Super 8 with a better net run rate. Bangladesh are likely to beat Bermuda in the last match of the Group B to be played on March 25.
That will leave three teams -- India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh -- in the group with four points each. The Net Run Rate attains importance in that context. Also, it is important to note that the points from the match between the Super 8 qualifiers in the group stage will be carried forward.
So there is only one way left for Rahul Dravid's boys, slay Sri Lanka.
