Group B Standings & Qualification Scenarios
The much-important Australia-South Africa Champions Trophy match was washed out, with both teams sharing a point.
With India and New Zealand through, the Group B semi-final race remains open with all four teams in contention.
South Africa tops the table with three points and a +2.140 net run rate, with Australia second on equal points.
England and Afghanistan have yet to score but remain in contention. Here are the qualification scenarios.
- South Africa: A win against England guarantees a semi-final spot. A loss would still keep them in contention if England loses at least one of their remaining games.
- Australia: A victory over Afghanistan secures qualification. A loss means they must rely on South Africa beating England.
- England: Needs to win both remaining matches to advance. A loss against Afghanistan would eliminate them.
- Afghanistan: Must defeat both Australia and South Africa to qualify.
