Chennai:
India faces Sri Lanka in a critical Group B match of the ICC World Cup at Port of Spain on Friday.
Rahul Dravid's men lost to Bangladesh, but registered a comprehensive victory over Bermuda. Sri Lanka has beaten both Bangladesh and Bermuda.
Sri Lanka also has the best net run-rate (so far) of +4.594 in two matches. India (a win and a defeat) has +2.507 from an equal number of matches. Bangladesh is third (a win and a loss) with -2.002 in two matches. Sri Lanka has four points, while India and Bangladesh have two points each.
A victory over Sri Lanka could ensure India a Super Eight berth since Bangladesh is way behind in the net run-rate. India, theoretically, will not be eliminated even if it goes down to Sri Lanka.
There is plenty at stake for both sides on what should be a sluggish Queen's Park Oval pitch.
