The Points Table/Standings

[Qlder]

SA should easily beat NED so end of round 3 will be the top 3 undefeated teams
1. SA
2. India
3. NZ

This means everyone else fighting for Pak's 4th spot, which makes the Pak vs Aus game on Friday pretty critical. If Aus win with good NRR they can jump to 4th

South Africa definitely aren’t a given for the top 4 yet. They’ve probably had the easiest of the draw so far the first 3 games.

Yeah the 3 undefeated teams will still need to win 3 out of the remaining 6 games. That is not a given yet.

Y'all still overrating Aussies. They just got lucky that SL collapsed.

Agree, from the brief coverage I saw & since read, it seemed purely a SL implosion from that great foundation they had as opposed to any great bowling, but happy to be corrected.

I’m not the Aussies got big issues with the top order and first 20 overs bowling.

Eng, Pak and Aus all looking weaker than anticipated. It may mean fewer than 6 wins are needed to snag 4th?

Without washouts, I think 6 wins are definitely needed to make the knockouts unless Ind, NZ and SA win all and then the 4th place is a pitfight between all teams on 5 wins.

"unless Ind, NZ and SA win all" how does that happen since everyone plays each other, so only 1 team can win all

Win everyone else except between them. In such a case, the other teams can end on 5 wins.

Yeah that’s the sort of scenario I meant

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

With NZ, SA and India pretty much locked in and if England and Australia don’t make it then one of Pakistan, SL, Afghan, BD, Ned will go through. Pakistan should be very low on morals and SL looks like they like to self implode often. BD beat Afghan with a good margin and will give their best shot against Netherlands. That means its going to be BD with NZ, SA and India. Proved.

Edit: Ignore that, rubbish from me.

 

[number11]

Still looking OK for England - we've got the bottom 3 to play

Yeah, no hint of concern yet.

 

[smash84]

SA losing to Ned today might throw a bit of spice in the predictions game.

 

[Sunil1z]

I think 3 spots are open now for SF.

Points on the board for the Netherlands,

That table is not right? Aus is 8th above NED

Unofficial.

Obviously not a fan of Pakistan then
