T20 World Cup: Semifinal qualification scenarios in Group 1 explained

The Super 12s in group 1 is coming to an end. Ireland and Afghanistan have been eliminated from the race. Today, New Zealand registered an emphatic win against Ireland and they are through to the Semifinals. NZ became the first team to qualify for the semis.

Australia wins against Afghanistan with a narrow margin and thus stays alive in the tournament. However, they pray for tomorrow’s match. England and Sri Lanka will lock horns tomorrow. Sri Lanka has been eliminated as well with Australia’s win.

Now, the scenario is crystal clear. Australia and England will look to take up the sole spot in the semifinal. If England wins against Sri Lanka they will go through Semifinals. If they lose, Australia will be in the top 4. If the rain arrives and the match ends with no result then Australia will go through based on more wins than England.

So, tomorrow’s match is going to be crucial for both England and Australia.
