kiwis will have sleepless night

[kabira]

their fate will depend on 2moro's game between india v/s sa they will be in if SA beat IND they will still be in if Ind beat SA so SA NRR goes below kiwis.. Last super 8 game will be cracker..

[zubinpepsi]

If we beat SAF, NZ is out , i guess unless our NRR goes below 0.05 ...we now have 0.20 wud NRR decreseas even if we win?

[fineleg]

Can India lose to SA but STILL go through? Is there a chance?

[Ram]

Yes it can.. if Saffies score 80 all out , we score 81/9 in 20 overs to win , our NRR could go below NZ's

[kabira]

> wud NRR decreseas even if we win? not possible.. so if we win even by 1 run or off last ball...we are in..

[Ram]

Can India lose to SA but STILL go through? Is there a chance?

NOPE. We have to win , and well. Though , the nature of 20/20 is such that , if we win , we are almost guaranteed to go through.

[yoda]

i think i will have a sleepless night.

No. Its the overral NRR that counts. We could win and yet not go through.

[yoda]

yes, they can immediately go through customs.

[kabira]

hmmm you are right sriram.. its gonna be one hell of mathematical battle...any team can go out...

[yoda]

Yes it can.. if Saffies score 80 all out , we score 81/9 in 20 overs to win , our NRR could go below NZ's

NRR is the difference yaar. if saffies score 80 all out, it will be considered as 80 in 20 overs. as long we score 81 in 20 overs or less we are through.

If India lose then SA and NZ If Ind wins (Say less than 1.5 NRR in 2 morrow game ) SA and Inda If Ind wins ((more than 1.5 NRR) India and SA Bottom line, if we win SA, we're through to semis

[fineleg]

yes' date=' they can immediately go through customs.[/quote'] No serious question, Can India go through to semis EVEN IF we lose to SA? Is there an academic chance? What about tie? Strike that, joke of bowl out will decide that.

tie and then we will a bowl out, yes. :D bottom line is this: SAF and NZ have 4 points already and we are at 2. We need 2 full points to get equal on points. then comes the NRR. since we already above NZ's NRR and our NRR CANNOT go less with a win, we will go through IF AND ONLY IF we win against SAF.

:haha: hello? SAF and NZ already have 2 wins.. now tell me how on earth india can go to semis unless wining agains SAF

[DravidDaBest]

NRR NZ - 0.085 Ind - 0.4 SA - 1.6

[kabira]

no miss fine leg...nzl have 4 points...sa already have 4 points.. and we have only two... now do the math if you can.

Yoda , NRR is taken into acc consid all the 3 matches in the Super 8's. If we win so narrowly for our NRR to go below NZ ,we wont qualify.

there is no way our NRR goes down with a win. give me a scenario with numbers.

Then why was everyone concerned abt NRR during India-Eng match (even if Ind won). India beat Eng, then Ind MUST beat SA. If that is the equation then why even if Ind beat Eng, people were talking abt NRR over Eng?
