Sri Lanka finds themselves in a precarious position at the World Cup, sharing the same predicament with Pakistan and Netherlands, each team clutching onto four points from six games.

While mathematically there’s still room for hope, the practicalities paint a challenging picture.

The scenario hinges on a complex equation where multiple teams must finish on specific points, making the competition fierce. Sri Lanka, with the potential to secure 10 points, is technically in the mix.

However, their recent performances, coupled with upcoming matches against powerhouses India and New Zealand, create formidable obstacles. The odds are undeniably stacked against Sri Lanka, making their journey to qualification an uphill battle despite the lingering mathematical possibilities.
