There is a possibility that four teams will finish on 16 points.

The rule was that if teams are equal the one who beat the other goes ahead. When they have four teams this apparantly doesn't work.

The rules committee have met and decided that if this happens they go to net run rate and I believe that puts Sri Lanka in the hot seat. The Sri Lankans have objected 'cause they beat NZ and don't accept that they could go through before them but I understand that their objection has been overuled.

It's very confusing and I'm not 100% sure but I heard Lane on 774 this morning saying this.
