Qualification for the semi finals

South Africa's five-wicket win against India takes them a lot closer to a semi-final spot, while at the same time jeopardising the qualifying chances of Pakistan. Here's a look at how the teams are shaping up with six matches to go in Group 2.

Proteas

Played: 3 Points scored: 5 NRR: 2.772 Matches remaining: 2 Matches with: PAKISTAN and Netherlands They have been in contention for easily passing for the semi final stage without any hiccup, as they are in healthy NRR, furthermore they have sufficient group points in their tally.

India

Played: 3 Points scored: 4 NRR: 0.844 Matches remaining: 2 Matches with: Bangladesh and Zimbabwe They are currently the 2nd best team from this group to be qualifying for the semi-final berth.

Bangladesh

Played: 3 Points scored: 3 NRR: -1.533 Matches remaining: 2 Matches with: India and PAKISTAN They are also in contention where if any major upset occurs, they might have a chance to enter the semi-final seat.

Pakistan

Played: 3 Points scored: 2 NRR: 0.765 Matches remaining: 2 Matches with: South Africa and Bangladesh Pakistan is the only country in this group who have only an outside chance, where we are still dependant on winning and losing of other countries and with response to them, we are dependant on their results, because of which being a sportsman, I don't want Pakistan to go forward with such distressed performance, instead give chance to other countries who're performing and well deserved.

Zimbabwe

Played: 3 Points scored: 3 NRR: -0.050 Matches remaining: 2 Matches with: Netherlands and India Zimbabwe need to win both their remaining matches to stay in the hunt. If they beat Netherlands and lose to India, they will end up with only five points, which will almost certainly not be enough.

The Netherlands

Played: 3
Points scored: 0
NRR: -1.984
Matches remaining: 2
Matches with: Zimbabwe and South Africa With zero points from three games, Netherlands are out of the tournament.
