World Cup: Updated semi-final scenarios in final week of league stage

India not only are through to the semi-finals, but have guaranteed themselves the top spot at the end of the league stage after their 243-run win against South Africa

South Africa remain second with a healthy run-rate despite their disastrous performance against India and appear set to play the second semi-final on 16 November

Australia could end up going past South Africa to the second spot if they end up thrashing Afghanistan and Bangladesh by massive margins in their remaining games

New Zealand are locked in a tense battle for the fourth semi-final spot with Pakistan and Afghanistan, and have Net Run Rate superiority over the other two teams

Afghanistan have two matches in hand compared to one each for New Zealand and Pakistan. However, they face Australia and South Africa in those two games

England and Bangladesh are the two teams officially out of semi-final reckoning, and they’ll be busy fighting for Champions League qualification
