Afghanistan Team World T20 Qualification scenarios

 

 GROUP 1

Afghanistan (Points 0; NRR -1.248)

Afghanistan have had two tough losses despite good showing with the bat in both games. A semi-final qualification looks highly unlikely unless a miracle happens. However, an Afghan win can seriously dent the chances of other teams.

Matches left:

vs England, Delhi, 23 Mar 2016

vs West Indies, Nagpur, 27 Mar 2016

Qualification scenarios:

- They get eliminated if they lose at least one of their two remaining games.

- If they win both their remaining matches by huge margins and South Africa beat West Indies, England beat Sri Lanka and Sri Lanka beat South Africa, there will be a five-way tie and net run rate will be the decider. Their net run rate of -1.248 doesn't inspire much confidence.
