Australia’s semifinal qualification chances

 

Because of Australia’s low NRR, it will be tough for them to catch South Africa if both finish on six points: if Australia wins a game by 60 runs and loses another by one run, the Kangaroos will still need South Africa to lose to England by at least 32 runs to go past them on NRR (assuming the team batting first scores 160 each time).

 

It will be difficult for Australia to win if there is a three-way tie at eight points. Even if South Africa wins by one run, Australia would have to win by a total of 92 runs in both games to surpass South Africa’s NRR. As a result, Australia’s best chance is to win its final two games and hope England defeats South Africa.
