India will wrap up their team engagement in this World cup today by playing with Sri Lanka. The Men in Blue needs to win this game to secure the top position in this World Cup standings. If they can do that, they will be able to play with New Zealand in the semi-finals. Otherwise, they will have to take on England which will not be very welcoming for the Indian team. On the contrary, Sri Lanka has already lost its dream to be in the upper stage. They will only try to go home with one last victory in their bag. In this scenario, will India be able to beat Sri Lanka and reach the top position?
