With the defeat of Sri Lanka to South Africa in the Twenty20 World Cup, the chances of Sri Lanka qualifying for the semi-finals have gone away. Thus, the Sri Lankan team's hope rests on the victories and defeats of the other teams.
However, Sri Lanka must win both their matches against England and the West Indies to reach the semi-finals. That is to advance to the semi-finals without scoring speed.
In addition, the victories of the other teams will affect it and England will definitely have to beat the South African team. Australia will also have to lose both their matches against Bangladesh and the West Indies. Also, Bangladesh must defeat South Africa. If the victories of the other teams take place in this manner, the Sri Lankan team will have a chance to qualify for the semi - finals without any gross scoring speed.
