Hi, just one small clarification - India's NRR is currently 0.20, whilst NZL is on 0.05. If say India score 200 runs, and SA manages 199 runs tomorrow, India will go through - but India's NRR, in absolute terms will not improve, and will in fact come down to 0.15 - however, that's still better than the Kiwis, so India are safe, but just thought I'd clarify the arithmetical point
