T20 World Cup 2022: Group 1 Semi Finals Qualification Scenarios
1: New Zealand
Points: 5
NRR: +2.233
Remaining Match: Ireland
New Zealand’s loss to England means they must beat Ireland. Given their net run rate is very strong, victory by any margin will do.
If New Zealand lose to Ireland and Australia beat Afghanistan, the Black Caps will be eliminated as either England or Sri Lanka will also finish ahead.
2: England
Points: 5
NRR: +0.547
Remaining Match: Sri Lanka
England are now in pole position to reach the semi finals. Because Australia plays their final game on Friday before England on Saturday, Jos Buttler’s team will know exactly what they need to do to qualify. Given their net run rate is far superior to Australia’s, it is likely that victory by any margin against Sri Lanka will see them through.
3: Australia
Points: 5
NRR: -0.304
Remaining Match: Afghanistan
Australia have been playing catch up after the first up thrashing at the hands of New Zealand. They beat Sri Lanka and Ireland, but could have had greater net run rate boosts than what they ended up with.
Given their net run rate is worse than England’s, Australia must beat Afghanistan by a big margin and hope England either lose to Sri Lanka or beat them narrowly. For example, if Australia score 180 and bowl Afghanistan out for 120, Australia’s net run rate will move to +0.555, which will be higher than England’s 0.547. But, you feel that Australia will need an even bigger win than that to pressure England.
4: Sri Lanka
Points: 4
NRR: -0.457
Remaining Match: England
If Sri Lanka beats England, they will leapfrog Jos Buttler’s team. However, they will also need Afghanistan to beat Australia or Ireland to beat New Zealand so that either the Aussies or Kiwis remain on five.
5: Ireland
Points: 3
NRR: -1.304
Remaining Match: New Zealand
If Ireland beat New Zealand, they will finish on five points, level with the Black Caps. But, Ireland need Afghanistan to beat Australia. Also, Ireland’s net run rate is too far behind, which makes their hopes purely mathematical.
6: Afghanistan
Points: 2
NRR: -0.718
Remaining Match: Australia
The weather has been unkind to Afghanistan. Now, they are officially out after defeat to Sri Lanka. All they can do now is end Australia’s campaign with victory in Adelaide on Friday.
