After all, the stakes are much higher for Sunday’s clash since the prospects of a possible third match of the mini-series (read the final) will depend a lot on the outcome of the match.
With both teams starting Super Fours with contrasting wins on Friday, a win on Sunday will virtually ensure an entry into the final. If India continues its dominating streak from the last two matches, it will seal a place in the title clash since its Net Run Rate has leapfrogged after having defeated Bangladesh with almost 14 overs to spare.
