World Cup 2019: Qualification scenarios for all teams

India

India are the only unbeaten side in the WC

The Men in Blue are the only unbeaten side in Cricket World Cup 2019, with four wins and one rain barred clash in five games.

They have four matches remaining, against West Indies (27 June), England (30 June), Bangladesh (2 July) and Sri Lanka (6 July).

However, securing the playoffs berth does not appear like a tough task for the Kohli's army, as victory in just two of the remaining four games will guarantee them a confirmed spot in the semis.

Given the balance in the side, form of the batters and the relentless bowling attack featuring the likes of Chahal, Shami and Bumrah, it looks like India are sure to finish in the top two.

Bangladesh

Bangladesh to face stiff Asian challenge.

With three wins, three defeats and one abandoned clash in their seven league fixtures, the Bangla Tigers (7 points) are still in the contention for the semi-final berth. But their chances of progression depend a lot on the performance of England (8 points) and Sri Lanka. (6 points)

But first, they must win their upcoming fixtures against India (2 July) and Pakistan (5 July) to finish at 11 points.

Pakistan

Pakistan aims to keep the momentum intact against the Afghans and Tigers.

Pakistan stunned the Kiwis by six wickets to keep their World Cup campaign alive. However, not all is done and secured as their future lies in their own hands - with fixtures against Afghanistan and Bangladesh.

With that and a defeat for England and Sri Lanka, Pakistan will barge to a semi-final spot.

West Indies

West Indies needs a miracle to secure semi-final berth.

The Caribbeans are having a forgettable campaign, with just one win in their six matches.

But a no-result game against the Proteas implies they are still in the play-offs race with three points so far. Despite this, they are highly unlikely to make it to the semis, as it would require a lot of results to go their way.

First, they will have to win all of their remaining fixtures against India (27 June), Sri Lanka (1 July) and Afghanistan (4 July). Then, they would hope that all the remaining semi-final aspirants such as England, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan fail to secure wins in any of their remaining games, which seems highly unlikely.

In other scenario, if both Bangladesh and Pakistan win one game each and England loses their remaining games, then a three-way tie (9 points) will decide the semi-finalist on the basis of NRR.
