ICC Champions Trophy 2017: Qualification scenario for each team

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka’s win over India opened up group B

After losing their first match against South Africa by 96 runs, their chances of making it to the next round were hanging by a thread as their NRR went down to -1.920 and they were scheduled to face India in their second group game.

When they took on the Men in Blue, they shocked everyone by beating them convincingly by 7 wickets and not only gave themselves a chance of qualification but also opened the group wide open going into the third round of matches.

For Sri Lanka to qualify,

If Sri Lanka beat Pakistan: Sri Lanka will qualify for the semis

If Pakistan beat Sri Lanka: Sri Lanka will be sent back home

If Pakistan vs Sri Lanka ends in a washout: Sri Lanka will qualify only if India vs South Africa produces an outright result. If both the matches ends in a washout, Sri Lanka will get knocked out on the virtue of not having a better NRR
