Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and India's group is primed for that title. Ours is the group of hiccups!

Indeed, although India's big win against Bermuda will give them a chance if they can beat Sri Lanka to make it on R/R

We'll only see how good Bangladesh are when they play Sri Lanka. Imagine if Bangladesh beat SL ... what a match that would set up between SL and India... winner takes all! (bar two points into the Super 8's!)

DMC

21 needed off 36.

galwayrush

The slow start really put them under pressure. looks like the'll do it now.

DMC

Now, to introduce to the newbies a new concept.

Net Run Rate, or NRR in the table above.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_run_rate

It might be needed if Ireland and Zimbabwe both finish on 3 points.

Even as a long time cricket fan I find that confusing, hopefully it will be a moot point after Pakistan win tomorrow

Yeah stanjames are giving 8/1 on ireland to beat the windies. Definitely worth it I think, very generous.

Edit: also pp as it turns out.

DMC

Same odds at the start of play for the Pakistan game too.
