Win, India146;s only mantra for Super 8

8226; From here even a narrow win for India, say 4 wickets or 40 runs would put them at 4 points with a net run rate way beyond the reach of Bangladesh, who will be hoping to win against Bermuda by a world record margin. Another way for Bangladesh to make it to the Super 8 is to hope that Lanka beat India, even a washout will do, but that has to happen on two consecutive days given a reserve day in hand.

8226; So the final mantra for India is to win.
