Match Thread: ICC Cricket World Cup, 42nd Match, Group B: India v West Indies at Chennai, Mar 20, 2011

if India scores 800 runs and WI are allout for 29 than BD will be in the QF's

lol

thats possible but not realistic.

well but still lots of things can happen Realistically ...

Scenario 1: If India beat West Indies

India will take second place, behind South Africa, on nine points, while England will be third and West Indies fourth. West Indies will finish with the same points as Bangladesh, but they are so far ahead on net run-rate that Bangladesh cannot catch up even if West Indies lose by a huge margin. The quarter-finals:

Pakistan v West Indies - Mirpur
Australia v India - Ahmedabad (March 24)
New Zealand v South Africa - Mirpur
Sri Lanka v England - Colombo (March 26)

Scenario 2: If West Indies beat India

In this case West Indies will jump to second place, behind South Africa, pushing India and England to third and fourth place. India will retain third place unless they lose very badly (for example, if they get bowled out for 139 or fewer chasing 300). The quarter-finals:

New Zealand v South Africa
Sri Lanka v India - Ahmedabad (March 24)
Australia v West Indies
Pakistan v England

Scenario 3: if the points are shared

If both teams get a point each, India will take second spot with eight points, behind South Africa's ten. West Indies and England will be on seven points each, but West Indies have the better run-rate, and it'll stay that way if the points are shared. The quarter-finals:

Pakistan v England - Mirpur
Australia v India - Ahmedabad (March 24)
New Zealand v South Africa - Mirpur
Sri Lanka v West Indies - Colombo (March 26)

In each case, the winners of the first two quarters listed above will play in one semi-final, while the winners of the last two quarters will play in the other, with India playing in Mohali if they make it, and Sri Lanka playing in Colombo.

Tendulkar's quick walkout before any review decision taken on a not-out stand of umpire, proved himself again as a honest cricketer again. Hats off

Yuvi was dropped twice by sammy, tough chances

Sovik · #7 March 20, 2011, 05:02 AM

Started to like Russell. He has pace and maintain good lines.

Can't forget WI vs Eng match while watching this....QF was so close...now it is so far far away

after loss of gambhir and sachin, yuvraj and kohli now building

India batting also collapses like ours but in a different way.
They collapse after loosing their first 4-5 batsmen,after the 42-44th over and after having scored 250+ already.
We collapse from the beginning till the end.

Kohli appealed for a run out not given not gone for review either.

India planning to lose the match to avoid facing Australia

Sovik · #13 March 20, 2011, 09:15 AM

I will be pissed off if India looses today.

WI in the driving seat

should win .....

India trying their best not to win, all seems a bit bizarre

It will be really funny if they go out against SL.

Btw i heard the commentators saying that India SL will be played in India and not Colombo as scheduled, this is because India is better in the "rankings"
