How can Sri Lanka still qualify for Super 8 at T20 World Cup?

Sri Lanka are on the brink of elimination after their game against Nepal in Florida got washed out due to rain. Having lost their first two matches to South Africa and Bangladesh, Sri Lanka find themselves in trouble. But can they qualify for Super 8? Here are interesting scenarios...

1. The match between Bangladesh and Netherlands has to be washed out due to rain. In this case, both sides will get one point each and Sri Lanka will stay alive. Both Bangladesh and Netherlands are on two points at the moment and a result in this game will mean that one of them will reach four points knocking Sri Lanka, who can reach maximum three points, out of the tournament.

2. South Africa beat Nepal in their next game and then Nepal defeat Bangladesh in their final league game. If this happens, Nepal will also be on three points while Bangladesh will also be restricted to the same number of points. If Nepal lose to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka will be knocked out of the competition.

3. Sri Lanka beat Netherlands on Sunday in St Lucia. This is the mandatory thing to happen as Sri Lanka will then reach three points and it will be a four-way tie for them alongside Nepal, Bangladesh and the Netherlands. The team with better net run-rate will then qualify for the Super 8 round. (INDIATV)
