Lmao. I knew 358 was way too high for the Lankans considering the fact that India has the best bowling attack among all teams in this tournament. For some reason, Siraj performs extremely well against the Lankans.
16/6 is absolutely insane and embarrassing. India will go back to the top of the table in style with a huge NRR boost.
I am not sure whether they will be able to overtake South Africa in NRR. At this point, Proteas have +2.290, while India is at +1.405. Even if India win by 300+ runs, there is a chance that their NRR may stay below that of South Africa. Anyway, India will be having 7 wins from 7 matches, while South Africa lost the match against Netherlands. And next match for both the teams is going to be at Eden Gardens, where they will face each other. If anyone is going to beat India in this world cup, it is going to be South Africa. This match is going to be epic.
This might actually end up paying the lowest total by any team in the World Cup. Sri Lanka has already lost eight wickets for only 38 runs. there is no way they are going to even get close to the target that is given by India. There is also no way that Sri Lanka is even going to achieve 200 in this match. Even 100 seems to be miles away. they had lost six wickets for only 14 runs. And of course, I also knew that this target was most probably not going to be achieved by Sri Lanka. But I didn't think they would fail this miserably.
