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.
After today's match, the Net run rate for the Indian team is still lower than the South African team. NNR for South Africa is 2.290 while for India it is 2.102. Although the Indian team is at the number one spot because they have won all the matches. South Africa also won all matches except one and they are at the number 2 spot.
I am really looking forward to the block buster match between India and South Africa to be played on this Sunday. This could be the trial final, before the actual final may take place between the two teams. Also, i think this match will decide who will top this points table and hence this match is of utmost importance for both the teams.
