Australia: Already qualified. They need to beat South Africa to secure top, which will allow them to play the fourth-ranked side. If they cannot, they will need India to lose at least one match.

India: They need a point (a washout or a tie) from two matches to qualify. They should not have an issue problem there.

New Zealand: Like India, they need 1 point. However, they cannot reach top spot now.

England: A win against New Zealand will do it. If they lose, they will have to hope that whoever wins in the Pakistan–Bangladesh match loses their other match.

Pakistan: They need to beat Bangladesh and hope for England to lose. If England win, India will have to lose both matches and finish below Pakistan in net run rate.

Bangladesh: Beat both India and Pakistan. Ideally England should lose, but if not, Bangladesh have to finish with a superior net run rate than New Zealand.

Sri Lanka: Win both matches by massive margins. Back New Zealand to absolutely thrash England.

South Africa, West Indies, and Afghanistan have been eliminated, but their matches may affect the points table. Of their remaining matches, West Indies versus Sri Lanka is of relevance.
