Eight years ago during the group stages of 1999 world cup india was posed in a similar situation as now. In their last group match against srilanka, they needed a huge victory to qualify for the super sixes. It was in this match Sourav Ganguly made his career best of 183 and Rahul dravid made 145 while india's total score from their 50 overs was 373 and Srilanka could only manage 216. With these two century performance, india defeated srilanka and went on to the super sixes. Eight years after we have a similar situation. The only difference is that just a win is enough for india. They don't need a higher margin victory tomorrow to qualify for the Super eights. Will the history repeat again or is it the Srilankans' turn to return favor? Dying to know the result.
