India South Africa, Australia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, England, Bangladesh and the Netherlands each play one league before the semi-final match. Despite the outcomes of those matches, South Africa is set to face Australia in the second semi-final.

New Zealand, Pakistan, and Afghanistan each of them have a fairly equal chance of qualifying for the semi-finals. But New Zealand has more chances to play the semifinal match with India. Because after New Zealand’s win in the last fixture of the game with Srilanka on November 9, New Zealand’s point would be 10 and NRR (Net Run Rate) be +0.743.
The race for the fourth spot in the points table involves three teams: New Zealand, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. However, it will require numerous permutations, combinations, and a touch of luck for any of them to secure the solitary semi-final spot available.
How will Pakistan qualify???
Pakistan’s chances of making it to the semi-finals have become impossible after New Zealand’s win. To qualify, if Pakistan is batting first, they would need to win by a margin of at least 287 runs. If they are chasing a target, they would need to dismiss England for just 50 runs and then chase the target within two overs. This situation is a challenging task for Pakistan.
Will Afghanistan qualify for the semi-final stage??
Afghanistan faces a challenge to secure a semi-final spot due to its negative net run rate (NRR) compared to Pakistan and New Zealand. So, they would need to defeat South Africa by a huge margin, which would not only secure them the victory but also improve their net run rate significantly to surpass that of Pakistan and New Zealand. The situation demands not just a win but a convincing performance to enhance their chances of progressing to the semi-finals.
New Zealand secured a five-wicket victory over Sri Lanka at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Thursday, November 9. This win has propelled New Zealand to 10 points and established a substantial lead in the net run rate, enhancing their position in the semi-final spot.
