ICC World T20 2016: India Qualification scenarios

GROUP 2

India (Points 2; NRR -0.895)

The hot favourites for the tournament, hosts India started with a humbling loss to New Zealand before coming back to winning ways against arch-rivals Pakistan. Their net run rate of -0.895 is currently only above Bangladesh.

Matches left:

vs Bangladesh, Bangalore, 23 March 2016

vs Australia, Mohali, 27 March 2016
Qualification scenarios:

- They should be through if they win their last two matches.

- If they beat Bangladesh and lose out to Australia, they will get eliminated if Australia beats Pakistan. But if Pakistan beat Australia, India will end up in a three-way tie Pakistan and Australia and net run rate will decide who will progress.

- If they lose to Bangladesh and then beat the Aussies, they will end in a two-way tie alongside the winner of Australia-Pakistan clash provided New Zealand get the better of Bangladesh in their last league game. In case Bangladesh beats New Zealand, India will end up on a three-way tie with Bangladesh and winner of Australia-Pakistan encounter.

- They get eliminated if they lose both.
