Who needs what to reach T20 World Cup Super 8s?

The T20 World Cup heads into the final days of group-stage fixtures with only a couple of spots in the Super 8s still up for grabs.

Defending champions India, co-hosts Sri Lanka, West Indies, England, South Africa and New Zealand have already qualified for the next phase.

Here’s what the remaining teams need to progress to the next stage.

The top two teams in each group – A to D – will progress to the Super 8s, which will be made up of two groups of four.

If any teams are level on points after the four group-stage fixtures, they will be separated by number of wins and then net run-rate.

The International Cricket Council has pre-determined the Super 8 groups if the eight seeded sides qualify:

X Group: India (X1), Australia (X2), West Indies (X3), South Africa (X4)

Y Group: England (Y1), New Zealand (Y2), Pakistan (Y3), Sri Lanka (Y4)

If any of those sides do not progress, the teams who do in their place will just fill the spot.

Each team plays three more matches in the Super 8s phase, facing each of the other teams in their group once.

After those fixtures, the top two teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals, with the winner of each Super 8s group facing the runner-up from the other.

Remaining games: Pakistan v Namibia (18 Feb, 09:30) and India v Netherlands (18 Feb, 13:30)

Defending champions India sealed their place in the Super 8s with a comfortable 61-run win over rivals Pakistan.

Pakistan slipped to third with that defeat, with their net run-rate taking a heavy hit.

However, a win in their final game against Namibia on Wednesday would see them progress.

USA have played all of their games and are currently second but need Pakistan to lose their final game and for the Netherlands to lose or not overtake their net run-rate if they win.

The Netherlands must beat India, hope Pakistan lose and then it could come down to net run-rate.

Namibia are eliminated.

Remaining games: Ireland v Zimbabwe (17 Feb 09:30 GMT), Sri Lanka v Zimbabwe (19 Feb, 09:30), Australia v Oman (20 Feb, 13:30)

Sri Lanka secured their progression with a brilliant eight-wicket win over Australia.

That defeat left Australia on the brink of elimination. If Zimbabwe win either of their remaining games they will progress and knock Australia out.

Ireland need to win their last match and hope other results go their way because they can only qualify on net run-rate.

Oman are eliminated.

Remaining games: Scotland v Nepal (17 Feb, 13:30), West Indies v Italy (19 Feb, 05:30)

West Indies secured their progression with a nine-wicket win over Nepal on Sunday.

England booked their place with a 24-run victory over Italy on Monday.

Scotland are eliminated.

Italy are eliminated.

Nepal are eliminated.

Remaining games: South Africa v UAE (18 Feb, 05:30 GMT), Afghanistan v Canada (19 Feb, 13:30 GMT)

Unbeaten South Africa have qualified and will go through as group winners with victory over UAE on Wednesday.

New Zealand booked their place in the next stage with an eight-wicket victory against Canada.

Afghanistan are eliminated.

UAE are eliminated.

Canada are eliminated.

Run-rate is the average number of runs scored per over by a team in their entire innings – so, for example, a score of 140 off 20 overs equals seven runs per over.

Net run-rate is calculated by subtracting the opposition’s run-rate from the other team’s run-rate.

The winning side will therefore have a positive net run-rate, and the losers a negative net run-rate.

In a tournament, net run-rate is worked out by taking the average runs per over scored by that team in each game and subtracting the average runs per over scored against them in each game.

If a team is bowled out inside their allotted overs, their run-rate is calculated by dividing the runs by the maximum overs they could have batted – 20 overs in the case of this tournament.
