Women’s T20 World Cup: How can England qualify for semi-finals and what does each team need?

As the only unbeaten team in Group B, England will qualify for the semi-finals as group winners if they win both their remaining matches.

Heather Knight’s side could advance with one win and one defeat but West Indies and South Africa both currently have a superior net run-rate.

England will therefore be looking for a comprehensive victory over Scotland to boost their net run-rate before a decisive final group game against West Indies that could result in the loser being eliminated.

If Bangladesh beat South Africa on Saturday, then England would qualify by beating Scotland on Sunday.

West Indies will probably need to beat England to qualify. They could advance despite defeat if Bangladesh beat South Africa.

South Africa are likely to need to beat Bangladesh and will also be hoping for a convincing win that boosts their net run-rate above that of West Indies.

If they do that, the Proteas will advance if West Indies lose to England. South Africa could also qualify if West Indies fail to beat England by enough to overhaul their improved net run-rate.

South Africa could still qualify if they lose narrowly to Bangladesh and England lose their two remaining matches.

Bangladesh are all but out. They need to beat South Africa by a significant margin and hope an unlikely set of results go their way.

Scotland have already been eliminated.
