So far, six teams have booked their tickets to the next stage, namely defending champions India, co-hosts Sri Lanka, the West Indies, England, South Africa and New Zealand. Two spots in Super 8s are still up for grabs.<\/p>\n

Currently, eight of the 20 competing teams have been officially eliminated from the Super 8s race, leaving six teams mathematically in the race for the final two spots.<\/p>\n

Two of the four groups have a complete picture of who has qualified and been eliminated. From Group C, the Windies and England are already in the Super 8s, and the remaining three teams in the group \u2014 Scotland (late replacement for Bangladesh), debutants Italy and Nepal \u2014 are eliminated.<\/p>\n

And in Group D, New Zealand became the latest to book their spot in the Super 8s after beating Canada in their final group game. The Kiwis joined South Africa in the next round from the group. Afghanistan, UAE and Canada are now eliminated from the race.<\/p>\n

In the other two groups, one spot each is still up for grabs, and only two teams \u2014 Namibia from Group A and Oman from Group B \u2014 are out of the race.<\/p>\n

In Group A, India are through to the next stage, and Pakistan, USA and the Netherlands are vying for the remaining spot. USA have played all their four group matches and are in second position behind India in the points table with four points. With four points, Pakistan are third due to an inferior net run rate to USA. Pakistan face Namibia next, and a win will secure their spot in the Super 8s. The Netherlands have a match against India and are still in contention with two points.<\/p>\n

In Group B, Sri Lanka stormed into the Super 8s with a thumping win over Australia, leaving the Aussies on the brink of early exit. Australia now need a miracle to progress after two consecutive defeats \u2014 against Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. Zimbabwe are in the driver\u2019s seat in the race for the remaining spot from the group as they have two matches in hand. A win against Ireland on Tuesday will take Zimbabwe into the Super 8s, leaving Australia\u2019s campaign devastated. Australia can only progress if they beat Oman by a massive margin and Zimbabwe lose both their matches \u2014 against Ireland and Sri Lanka. Even a rain-induced one point will take Zimbabwe to the next round.<\/p>\n
