Australia tri-series 2014-15 Update-4

This is how India can Qualify for the Finals:-
1.If Australia beat England (the easiest one)
In this case, Australia will move to either 13 or 14 points depending on the bonus point. It will guarantee themselves a spot in the final. In this scenario, two wins for India will knock England out of contention. If India lose to Australia next Monday, the final group-stage fixture between India and England will become a virtual semi-final and India need to clinch a bonus point and make sure they edge past England on NRR.

2.If England beat Australia with bonus point
A win with a bonus point will take England above Australia on the points table (10 points). The win will also boost England's Net Run Rate, which is already more than the Aussies.
In this scenario, India will go to the finals if they win both their games with bonus point. If India wins two matches and just one game with a bonus point, then they will be tied (9 points) with Australia and NRR will determine the finalist.
3. If England beat Australia without bonus point
If this happens, both England and Australia will be tied on points (9). If India wins both their remaining fixtures with bonus point, they will go through with 10 points and NRR will determine the second finalist. If India manage just one bonus point, then all three teams will be tied on 9 points, bringing NRR into the picture again.
Aus beating England seems the easiest one with a clear target of winning next two games for India
