Perth, Australia – In Pool B, Pakistan’s upset win over South Africa ensured the battle for the top four remained wide open.
Pool A
Remaining matches:
Sri Lanka v Scotland, Hobart, March 11
New Zealand v Bangladesh, Hamilton, March 13
England v Afghanistan, Sydney, March 13
Australia v Scotland, Hobart, March 14
Pool B
Remaining matches:
South Africa v United Arab Emirates, Wellington, March 12
India v Zimbabwe, Auckland, March 14
West Indies v United Arab Emirates, Napier, March 15
Pakistan v Ireland, Adelaide, March 15
West Indies’ last remaining match is against UAE and they can still make the play-offs. If Ireland loses their final game and the Windies beat UAE, the quarter finals beckon due to their superior NRR.
In a less likely scenario, the Windies could also make it on NRR if they beat UAE and Pakistan lose to Ireland, but big margins would be needed on either side for it to happen.
