How can India Qualify for T20 World Cup 2010 semi final

Indians have almost kicked themselves out of the ICC 20-20 World Cup 2010 held in West Indies by losing both their initial matches in the SuperEight Stage. So against Sri Lanka on Tuesday they have their work cut out.

1. Australia need to beat West Indies. Even a 4 run victory of Australia over West Indies is sufficient.

2. If India bats first it needs to defeat Sri Lanka by atleast 20 runs.

3. If India bowls first then it needs to achieve the target set by Sri Lanka in a minimum of 17 overs.

4. Finally India should not play Ravindra Jadeja. Fellow does not know how to bat, how to bowl and now he does not know how to field also.
