Next game is against the Afghans. India will be in top 3 after that game.

I much prefer this format. More knockout games, less meaningless stuff at the end of the round robin between teams who already cannot qualify.

This is the table from 2019. 6 wins it seems should be a lock too, although may depend on the number of No Results.

I think most teams had a game rained out at the 2019 World Cup.ICC Cricket World Cup Points Table | ICC Cricket World Cup Standings | ICC Cricket World Cup Ranking | ESPNcricinfo

Love this round robin format, everyone plays everyone so who can possibly complain about anything unfair.
Yeah think the same

This is easily the best format.

6-3 should definitely get you through most given days.
5-4 will depend on NRR, can easily see 2-3 teams finishing up with this win/loss ratio

6 wins will pretty much guarantee a top 4 finish.
Even 5 wins could be enough to finish 4th, if you end up with a high NRR.

It becomes unfair if someone's game with Netherlands is rained off which then affects qualification to the Top 4. Or if you get a point against India when defeat would've meant non-qualification (NZ 2019).

Yeah true this but there will never be a format that covers everything the gods throw at us.

There will hardly be rained off matches in this world cup, given the venues chosen.
In total, 1-2 games max may get rained off by chance.
1 no-result in a 9 match round robin has a smaller bearing on qualification than 1 no-result in a 5-6 team group round robin. So better teams shouldn't need to worry, they will finish with 6+ wins regardless.

Didn't we lose half the warm up matches?
There's some rain forecast for England's game tomorrow.

Warmup matches were held at fringe locations where monsoon hadn't left yet (far south/far east). The weather there bears no resemblance to weather at world cup venues given the dates the matches are being played at wc locations.
Should be fine tomorrow too
Dharamsala is perhaps the only location that could have a bit of rain given it's high in the mountains. But it only has 3 more matches after tomorrow and mostly weather there should be fine too.
Overall, I would be shocked if there are more than 1 or 2 no-results in the entire world cup.
I'm not a massive fan of the format - let's be honest it's all about money. The more matches, the higher the TV rights.
These early matches don't have any jeopardy on them. I'm an England fan, the defeat against NZ, whilst disappointing, doesn't feel in any way terminal but it should do.
I noticed after the Australia - India game, a few of the Aussie players were laughing away with some Indian players. I'm not knocking the Aussie players here, but they know a defeat to India isn't that damaging. In WC cricket, every defeat should really matter.
The tournament won't really come alive until the last few rounds of group games, when some defeats will really hurt teams.
I'd have 2 groups of 6 - the 10 teams in this WC plus say the W Indies and Ireland.
Any defeat then really hits home
but of course there would be considerably fewer matches and less TV rights money in the coffers.
And to the powers that be - that's all that really matters.

2 groups of 6 with top 2 in each making it to the semis would be so fiercely competitive.
It would be something like this:
Group A
India
Australia
Pakistan
Bangladesh
Netherlands
W Indies
Group B
England
NZ
S Africa
Sri Lanka
Afghanistan
Ireland
Any defeats would be a significant blow to qualifying.
I wouldn't take Afghanistan lightly. 2019 world cup we (India) almost lost to Afghanistan. The game really was in grasp of Afghanistan the whole time, Shami's hatrick in the end won India the game.
