#2 Australia

Remaining matches
Vs England, at London, Jun 25
Vs New Zealand, at London, Jun 29
Vs South Africa, at Manchester, Jul 6
With just one defeat in 6 games, Australia are just one win away from making it to the semi-finals. Australia currently have 10 points in six games and are scheduled to play England, New Zealand and South Africa in their last three group games.
Australia have a strong net run-rate which means they need to win just one game to qualify for the semi-finals. If they win just one game and Sri Lanka win all of their remaining games, they will be tied at 12 points and Australia will get through if they do not suffer heavy defeats in any of the matches.
- If Australia lose all the matches then for them to qualify, they will need Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh to win no more than two games.
- Australia and Sri Lanka can qualify at 10 points each if India or England lose all of their games.
