On Friday, the Group-1 match of Super-12 between Australia and England was washed out due to rain. This match was very important for both teams to reach the semi-finals.
Apart from this, another match was to be played between Afghanistan and Ireland on Friday. This match was also canceled due to rain. Now 4 out of 6 teams of this group New Zealand, Australia, England, and Ireland are stuck on 3-3 points. This has greatly increased the competition in the group. If the Indian team reaches the semi-finals of the tournament, then there can be a clash with any one of them.
In this story, we will know what the teams need to do next to stay in the top 2 positions in Group 1.
The first thing about Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka has 2 points from 2 matches. The net run rate of Sri Lanka is +0.45. The team led by Dasun Shanaka still has three more matches to play. They will have to beat England, New Zealand, and Afghanistan to make it to the top four teams of the tournament. If the team wins these three matches, then it will easily reach the top 4 with 8 points. In case of winning two matches, the team will have to rely on the results of the other teams.
England-Australia are still in the race
If the Australia Vs New Zealand match had been held on Friday, it would have been almost impossible for the losing team to reach the last four. With the match being canceled due to rain, both teams are now in the race. Whichever team wins their last two matches will have a higher chance of reaching the semi-finals.
At present, England's team has gone to second place with three points from three matches. At the same time, Australia now has three points from three matches and their net run rate is -1.555, which is much worse than England's +0.239 net run rate.
Australia is going to play Ireland and Afghanistan in the next two matches in the Super-12. If Australia wins by a big margin from these teams, then its net run will improve.
On the other hand, England has to face the teams of New Zealand and Sri Lanka. New Zealand had defeated hosts Australia in the very first match. In such a situation, it will not be easy for England to defeat the Kiwi team.
If England and Australia win their remaining matches, then they will have 7-7 points.
New Zealand on top
New Zealand is on top of Group 1 with 3 points. Now he has to play 3 more matches against Sri Lanka, England, and Ireland. If the New Zealand team wins these three matches, then it will get 9 points and the team will easily reach the semi-finals.
However, it will not be that easy. If the New Zealand team loses to Sri Lanka and England and wins against Ireland, then its chances of reaching the semi-finals will be negligible.
It is difficult for Ireland and Afghanistan to reach the semi-finals
Ireland has two big matches to play in Group 1. These two teams are Australia and New Zealand, both teams had traveled to the final in the last World Cup. Ireland currently has three points and will have to win two matches to reach the semi-finals. If she loses even a single match, she will be out of the race for the semi-finals.
Afghanistan is almost out of the race for the semi-finals. He has played three matches in Super-12 so far. He lost against England. At the same time, the match against Ireland and New Zealand was washed out due to rain. So he has 2 points now.
Afghanistan has to play 2 more matches in this group against Sri Lanka and Australia, which will be very difficult matches for them. If Afghanistan loses even a single match, it will be out of the semi-finals.
Who can face India
If the Indian team stays on top in Group 2, then in the semi-finals, it will face the second-placed team in Group 1. At the same time, if India stays second, then it will compete with the table topper of Group 1. In the current situation, the chances of becoming New Zealand's table topper are more visible. On the other hand, Australia and England are expected to compete for second place. However, due to incessant rains and one after, it is very difficult to predict anything right now.
