New Zealand has to beat Ireland and they are most likely to qualify for Semi-finals due to their superior NRR which is currently at +2.233. If they lose, Aus and Eng/SL win, they are out.

Aus will qualify with a win over Afgh if England loses vs SL. To go above Eng's NRR, Aus needs to win with over 50+ runs and then hope Eng doesn't win by a big margin.

Eng play their game after Aus vs Afg. They will know what they need to do to qualify. A win will be enough for them if Aus win with less than 50 runs. They also qualify with a win if NZ loses.

SL need to win their game vs Eng to finish on 6 points and hope one of Aus or NZ also loses their last league game.

Afghanistan and Ireland are practically out of the WC even if they win their last Super 12 games. Though, they can play spoil-sport for NZ and Aus.
