Sri Lanka's hopes of winning their first T20 World Cup in a decade took massive dents on Tuesday (June 11) after their match against Nepal was washed out due to rain. The contest supposed to take place in Florida was called off without a ball being bowled, resulting in points being shared. This leaves Sri Lanka with a hilarious set of equations to qualify for the T20 World Cup Super 8 stage with Bangladesh and South Africa now sitting in pole position.

<h2>What is the current scenario?</h2>

After defeats to South Africa and Bangladesh in their opening two matches of the T20 World Cup, Sri Lanka needed to win the Tuesday contest against Nepal to keep their fate in their own hands. While the point against Nepal got them off&nbsp;the mark on the standings, it leaves them with a vulnerable set of results to be achieved to reach the Super 8.

Going into their final group game, even a win against the Netherlands on Sunday won’t see them qualify for the Super 8 as they will reach a maximum of three points and need all other teams to stay on three points or lower. The following are the only set of results that could see Sri Lanka finish second.

<ul>
	<li>Netherlands vs Bangladesh match should get washed out due to rain, in case one of the two teams win then Sri Lanka are eliminated</li>
	<li>Nepal should beat Bangladesh by a big margin which sees the latter take a hit on Net Run Rate (NRR)</li>
	<li>Sri Lanka should beat the Netherlands by a big margin, ensuring they end with better NRR than Bangladesh</li>
</ul>

Any other set of results will see Sri Lanka’s elimination from the T20 World Cup.

South Africa on the other side have qualified for the Super 8 as they cannot finish lower than second place, thus ensuring qualification. Apart from South Africa, Australia remain the only other side to ensure Super 8 qualification with the winner of India vs USA also set to join the the teams on Wednesday.
