After two defeats in two matches, India A will be facing Afghanistan A in a must-win encounter at Dambulla on Wednesday. This is the last league stage match India will play while Afghanistan still have a game in hand. In case India, who are on 2 points, lose on Tuesday, they\u2019ll not qualify for the final and Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, who\u2019ll both have 4 points, will play the summit clash<\/p>\n<p>If India win on Wednesday, they\u2019ll have a high chance of staying alive, going to 4 points. Afghanistan will then play against Sri Lanka on Friday and if they win, all the three teams will be on 4 points each and then the net run rate will come into play. India are ahead of Afghanistan on net run rate at the moment so a win against them on Wednesday will boost their chances. In case Sri Lanka win vs Afghanistan, then it\u2019ll be Sri Lanka and India at the final. But to get to that scenario, India have to beat Afghanistan first.<\/p>\n<p><ev-engagement group-name=\"contentLogin\"\/><ev-engagement group-name=\"myNotification\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"ev-meter-content ie-premium-content-block\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyloading\" data-lazy-type=\"lazyloading-image\" src=\"https:\/\/data.indianexpress.com\/election2019\/track_1x1.jpg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/data.indianexpress.com\/election2019\/track_1x1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" style=\"display:none;\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"adboxtop adsizes\">Story continues below this ad<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>India lost on Monday to Sri Lanka in a match that will be remembered for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi\u2019s tiff with the Lankan players where he shoved one opposition player after allegedly getting provoked.

At 15, he has smashed international bowlers in the IPL, won an Under-19 World Cup and now finds himself on the verge of possibly debuting for India on their tours of Ireland and England, starting later this month.<\/p>\n<p>His rise has been extraordinary, which is exactly why what happened after India A\u2019s defeat to Sri Lanka A in Dambulla on Monday should concern everyone around him.<\/p>\n<p>The result itself was dramatic. A tied game. Confusion over whether fading light would even allow a Super Over. Another twist before Sri Lanka A eventually prevailed.
