If rain washes out the match:
1. Both teams will get one point each.
2. India and West Indies will finish with 3 points each.
3. West Indies will qualify for the semi-finals because of their better Net Run Rate (NRR).
4. India will be eliminated.
That means India cannot afford a washout. A win is the only safe option.
Must-Win Match For Both Teams
Both India and the West Indies have one win from two Super 8 matches. That makes this contest a direct fight for the final semi-finals spot from the group. South Africa have already qualified and the winner of this match will face England in the semi-finals.
India stayed alive in the tournament with a strong 72-run win over Zimbabwe in Chennai. The victory gave them hope, but their qualification now depends completely on today's result.
Net Run Rate Nightmare
While India are still in the race, their NRR is a worry. India's NRR stands at -0.100. However, the West Indies have a much stronger NRR of +1.791 due to their big 101-run win over Zimbabwe earlier in the Super 8 stage.
This difference could prove crucial.
Weather Update from Kolkata
The good news for fans is that the weather forecast looks clear. Kolkata is expected to have sunny conditions on Sunday. The temperature will be around 34 degrees Celsius during the day and will cool down to 25-26 degree Celsius in the evening.
