The first team to go home – Afghanistan have yet to win a single match, although they did push India to within 12 runs.
South Africa
The Proteas will not be progressing any further in this Cricket World Cup after a dreadful campaign which saw them become the second team to be eliminated
West Indies
West Indies started brilliantly by crushing Pakistan in their opening match, but haven’t hit those heigts since and will be going home.
Sri Lanka
England’s win over India means Sri Lanka are out of the tournament.
While they could draw level with Eoin Morgan’s side on points, England would still progress by virtue of winning more games.
Bangladesh
As a result of their loss to India, Bangladesh have been knocked out of the Cricket World cup.
Australia
Australia’s victory over England saw them become the first team to make the semi-finals.
India
India made it to the semi-final with victory over Bangladesh.
New Zealand
The Black Caps will go through if they avoid defeat against England.
They will also progress if Pakistan fail to beat Bangladesh.
Should New Zealand and Pakistan finish level on points, the Kiwis would still progress as it stands due to a far superior run rate.
England
England must beat New Zealand to make sure of their semi-final place.
They will also qualify if Pakistan fail to beat Bangladesh.
Pakistan
Pakistan must beat Bangladesh and then hope England lose to New Zealand.
Should England win, they could finish level on points with New Zealand, but would almost certainly be eliminated due to their poor run rate.
