What are World Cup Semi-final Scenarios For All 6 Teams playing

India and South Africa have already earned a spot in the Cricket World Cup 2023 semifinals. The remaining 4 teams in contention for the remaining 2 spots are Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Here is a summary of the current standings of these teams:

To the semi-finals, the top four teams on the points table advance. India and South Africa have already secured their place in the top 4. The remaining 4 teams are still in contention for the remaining 2 spots. Here are the scenarios for each team:

Australia: With 10 points, they need to win one more fixture to ensure a spot in the semis. Afghanistan and Bangladesh are their upcoming opponents. They will have to rely on winning outcomes in other games if they lose both of their games.

New Zealand: They need to prevail in their only remaining match against Sri Lanka. But even if they win that match, they would still need to expect Pakistan and Afghanistan to lose their remaining games in order to advance to the semifinals.

Pakistan: They will have to win their remaining contest against England, and they will also have to ensure that they win by a big margin to better their net run rate compared to New Zealand. If they lose to England, they would hope that New Zealand, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, and the Netherlands also lose by big margins.

Afghanistan: They have a simple task ahead to win their remaining matches against Australia and South Africa and secure their place in the semis. However, they will face a formidable challenge, particularly when playing Australia, who are vying for a spot in the semifinals. Afghanistan's only chance of survival would be for New Zealand and Pakistan to lose their respective remaining matches by significant margins if they were to lose one or both of the matches.

Good luck to all the teams!
