Vitality Blast 2019 qualification scenario after August 25: What do the teams need to qualify?

With every team having played at least 12 of their last 14 matches, Vitality Blast 2019 is now on its last legs. As thing stand now, two of the 18 teams have qualified, while four have been eliminated. However, the other 12 are still in the hunt for the six remaining quarterfinal slots.

North Division	M	W	L	T	NR	P	NRR
Lancashire Lightning	12	7	1	0	4	18	+0.953
Nottinghamshire Outlaws	12	6	3	0	3	15	+0.672
Worcestershire Rapids	12	6	4	0	2	14	+0.278
Derbyshire Falcons	13	6	5	0	2	14	-0.027
Leicestershire Foxes	13	4	6	0	3	11	-0.465
Northamptonshire Steelbacks	12	3	5	0	4	10	-0.212
Durham	12	4	6	0	2	10	-0.296
Yorkshire Vikings	12	2	5	1	4	9	-0.202
Birmingham Bears	12	3	6	1	2	9	-0.478

Both Lancashire Lightning and Nottinghamshire Outlaws have made it to the quarterfinals. Unless they lose both their matches and the Outlaws win both of theirs, the Lightning are set to top North Division as well. Among other teams, Worcestershire Rapids – the defending champions – and Derbyshire Falcons are the likeliest to qualify.

Leicestershire Foxes, Yorkshire Vikings, and Birmingham Bears have all been eliminated.

South Division	M	W	L	T	NR	P	NRR
Sussex Sharks	12	7	2	1	2	17	+0.832
Gloucestershire	12	5	3	1	3	14	+0.238
Kent	12	6	4	0	2	14	+0.084
Somerset	12	6	5	0	1	13	+0.814
Middlesex	12	6	5	0	1	13	+0.206
Hampshire	12	4	5	1	2	11	+0.091
Essex Eagles	12	3	4	1	4	11	-0.775
Surrey	12	4	6	1	1	10	-0.358
Glamorgan	12	0	7	1	4	5	-1.694

While Sussex Sharks still hold a 3-point (or more) lead over any other team in the South Division, there is a very, very low probability of their not making it to the top eight. Glamorgan have been eliminated – and is set to finish last.
