Australia: Qualified. They need to beat South Africa (or hope for Sri Lanka to beat India) to top the league and play the fourth-ranked side.

India: Qualified. They need to beat Sri Lanka and expect South Africa to beat Australia to top the league.

New Zealand: Need 1 point from the England match to go through. Even if they lose their net run rate should help them qualify.

England: Need to beat New Zealand. If they do not, they will have to hope for Bangladesh to beat Pakistan.

Pakistan: Need to beat Bangladesh and hope for England to lose.

Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, South Africa, West Indies, and Afghanistan are already out of contention. Afghanistan is also slated to finish last. However, Bangladesh’s match against Pakistan may decide a semi-finalist.
