\n

South Africa<\/b> are well-placed to reach the semi-finals. <\/p>\n

Two wins in their remaining three matches against Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Australia would be enough to secure a top-four finish while one may well be enough.<\/p>\n

India<\/b>, who have only four points after four games, need three wins from matches against England, New Zealand and Bangladesh to guarantee their progression.<\/p>\n

Two would likely be enough, especially if one of those is against New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Similarly, New Zealand<\/b> will go through with three wins – they play Pakistan, India and England – and while two victories could be enough, it is less certain.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh<\/b> need to win their remaining games against Sri Lanka and India and hope results go their way. <\/p>\n

Pakistan<\/b> and Sri<\/b> Lanka’s<\/b> best hope is to win all of their matches and await the other results. <\/p>\n

The Colombo weather could yet further dent their chances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
