Table as of October 14, 2025, after Match 14. Australia lead with superior NRR, but England’s game in hand could flip it.
Semi-Final Qualification Scenarios: Crunch Time Looms
With 14 games left, semis are no sure thing—expect NRR drama. Quick scenarios based on current form:
- Australia (6 pts): One win secures; they’re 95% locks for semis at 1.10 odds to qualify.
- England (6 pts): Game in hand vs Pakistan (Oct 15) is a gimme—win that and NZ (Oct 26) for top-two finish (90% chance).
- South Africa (6 pts): Victories over Pakistan (Oct 21) and WI seal it; their Bangladesh thriller boosts NRR (85% probability).
- India (4 pts): Hosts must win two of three (vs NZ Oct 23, BAN Oct 26, SL Oct 29) for 8 pts—tough but doable at home (65% odds). A NZ loss craters them.
- Bubble Teams: New Zealand (2 pts) needs upsets over IND and ENG for 6 pts (25% shot). WI, SL, BAN, PAK mathematically alive but <5%—Pakistan’s winless skid dooms them.
Semi pairings: 1st vs 4th, 2nd vs 3rd in neutral venues. Australia-India rematch? High probability.
