India are unbeaten in the tournament so far with six wins on the trot. After a commanding performance against Australia in their opening match, India went on to beat Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, New Zealand and England in the group matches, strengthening their position on top of the table. A terrific batting show from Rohit Sharma (87 off 101 balls) followed by a brilliant spell from Mohammed Shami (4/22) helped India beat England by 100 runs in their last match.

Sri Lanka are in the second half of the table currently with only two wins in four matches. Their only wins came against Netherlands and England, but a defeat to Afghanistan in their last match jeopardised their chances of reaching the semi-finals.

Sri Lanka batted first and were bowled out for 241 runs in 49.3 overs. Afghanistan chased down the 242-run target with ease powered by half-centuries from Rahmat Shah and Azmatullah Omarzai and the 1996 champions now need to win all of their matches to stand a chance.
