What each team needs to reach the semi-finals

1st: Australia (14 points)

Played: 8 | Won: 7 | Lost: 1 | NR: 0 | NRR: 1.00

The run home

July 6: v South Africa at Old Trafford

Another clinical display from the Australians against the Kiwis has guaranteed a top-two finish with one game still to come, meaning they should avoid a match against unbeaten India in the semi-finals. They now have a week off to recharge ahead of their final group game against South Africa and will keep a close eye on other results in the run home, with England, New Zealand, Pakistan or even Bangladesh looming as their semi-final opponent.

2nd: India (11 points)

Played: 6 | Won: 5 | Lost: 0 | NR: 1 | NRR 1.16

The run home 

June 30: v England at Edgbaston

July 2: v Bangladesh at Edgbaston

July 6: v Sri Lanka at Headingley

The only unbeaten team left in the tournament, India can secure a top-two finish (which would see them avoid a semi-final against Australia) and heap even more pressure on England with victory in their blockbuster clash against the tournament hosts at Edgbaston tonight. India's three remaining opponents are all still mathematically alive in the race for the semi-finals, meaning they won't have it all their own way in the run home as they look to knock off the Aussies in top spot.

3rd: New Zealand (11 points)

Played: 8 | Won: 5 | Lost: 2 | NR: 1 | NRR: 0.57

The run home 

July 3: v England at the Riverside Ground

A second consecutive defeat means the Black Caps are still not guaranteed of a semi-final spot, although they will be safe if India beat England at Edgbaston tonight. However, if the hosts get the job done in Birmingham, it will set up a mouth-watering clash between the Kiwis and England in Durham on Wednesday, with the loser of that game to be in serious danger of missing out on the top four. The good news for the Black Caps is the strength of their Net Run Rate compared to Pakistan (0.57 to -0.79), which could end up determining who advances to the knockout stage.

4th: Pakistan (9 points)

Played: 8 | Won: 4 | Lost: 3 | NR: 1 | NRR -0.79

The run home 

July 5: v Bangladesh at Lord’s

They don't make it easy, do they? In a game most pundits expected them to win easily, Pakistan almost fluffed their lines before stealing the two points from Afghanistan at Headingley to move them into fourth spot, at least for now. Pakistan fans are now faced with the bizarre situation of needing India to do them a favour; their fierce rivals can put a major dent in the top-four hopes of both England and Bangladesh in the coming days, before another blockbuster game between Pakistan and the Tigers at Lord's on July 5, which could be a winner-takes-all clash in the race for a semi-final.

5th: England (8 points)

Played: 7 | Won: 4 | Lost: 3 | NR: 0 | NRR 1.051

The run home

June 30: v India at Edgbaston

July 3: v New Zealand at the Riverside Ground

Pakistan's win over Afghanistan means England, the red-hot pre-tournament favourites, have incredibly dropped out of the top four with less than a week to go in the group stage. And with the pressure intensifying on the home side, they will slip further into the mire if they lose to India in a blockbuster match at Edgbaston tonight. Even victory in Birmingham won’t guarantee England a top-four spot and they will have to knock off the Black Caps in Durham on Wednesday to be certain of playing in the semi-finals. Making matters worst for England, their strong Net Run Rate of 1.051 - the second-best in the tournament - may not count for anything in a tiebreaker situation given the teams near them on the ladder have had a washed-out game each.

6th: Bangladesh (7 points)

Played: 7 | Won: 3 | Lost: 3 | NR: 1 | NRR -0.133

The run home

July 2: v India at Edgbaston

July 5: v Pakistan at Lord’s

Having split their first seven matches, Bangladesh can take a giant leap towards their first-ever World Cup semi-final with an upset win over India at Edgbaston on Tuesday. However, a loss there won’t necessarily be fatal to their campaign and it could all still come down to possible winner-takes-all battle against Pakistan at Lord’s on the penultimate day of the group stage. Much like Pakistan, New Zealand and Sri Lanka, Bangladesh will also be cheering for India to knock of England at Edgbaston tonight.

7th: Sri Lanka (6 points)

Played: 7 | Won: 2 | Lost: 3 | NR: 2 | NRR -1.186

The run home

July 1: v West Indies at the Riverside Ground

July 6: v India at Headingley

Sri Lanka's thrashing at the hands of South Africa on Friday means they will now have to do it the hard way to reach the final four. They must win their final two matches to remain any chance, which won't be easy given they face unbeaten India in their final group game on July 6, and they will be officially out of the running if England beat India at Edgbaston tonight. They need at least two of England, Pakistan and Bangladesh to slip-up significantly on the run home to have any hope.

8th: South Africa (5 points)

Played: 8 | Won: 2 | Lost: 5 | NR: 1 | NRR -0.324

The run home

July 6: v Australia at Old Trafford

A thumping of Sri Lanka on Friday earned the Proteas just their second win of the tournament, but a semi-final spot remains an impossibility after five losses in their first seven games. They now have a week to wait before their final group game, against Australia in Manchester on July 6.

9th: West Indies (3 points)

Played: 7 | Won: 1 | Lost: 5 | NR: 1 | NRR -0.32

The run home 

July 1: v Sri Lanka at the Riverside Ground

July 4: v Afghanistan at Headlingley

A tournament that promised so much has ended with a whimper for the Windies, who will look back on their heartbreaking loss to the Kiwis last Saturday as the ‘what if’ moment of their campaign. Already out of the race for a semi-final spot after their loss to India on Thursday, Jason Holder's side will be playing for pride in their two winnable games to come, against Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.

10th: Afghanistan (0 points)

Played: 7 | Won: 0 | Lost: 7 | NR: 0 | NRR -1.634

The run home

July 4: v West Indies at Headlingley

Having fallen just short of beating both India and Pakistan, Afghanistan will be playing for pride on the run home and be eyeing their match against the Windies to register their first win of the tournament.
