India and South Africa have made it into the semi-finals and Pakistan, New Zealand, Australia, and Afghanistan are fighting for the last two spots, Australia has almost made it to the semi-finals but if they can win one more match it will help them secure the 3rd position on the table and it will also help them avoid India in the semi-finals. Now, let’s see what the chances of them reaching the semi-finals.
Australia – Semi-Final Prediction
Australia has only two matches left, and they must win only one match to confirm their spot in the semi-finals. They have two matches left against Afghanistan and Bangladesh, they are expected to win both matches but even if they win one match, they will still make it to semi-finals.
Pakistan – Semi-Final Prediction
Pakistan has played 8 matches and currently, they are at 8 points, and they not only need to win the match against England, but they will also need to keep an eye on New Zealand match. If New Zealand losses their final match, they Pakistan just needs to win their final match to be through to semi-finals, however, if New Zealand wins their match against Sri Lanka, then it might make road to semi-final for Pakistan very tough due to net run rate scenarios.
New Zealand – Semi-Final Prediction
New Zealand just needs to win their final match and they will be through to the semi-finals. They already have a very good net run rate, so if they can win the final match and if they lose their match against Sri Lanka, it will make the road for Pakistan very easy.
Afghanistan – Semi-Final Prediction
One of the most improved cricketing nations in this World Cup, though they lost their first match against Bangladesh it must be haunting them currently as they should have won against Bangladesh and it would have made their life much easier right now, with two tough matches the road ahead looks tough but if they are able to win both matches somehow, to ensure they reach the semi-finals of the world cup.
