Teams: India (Q), USA (Q), Pakistan (E), Canada (E), Ireland (E)
India (6 points | 1.137 NRR)
Eligible | Three wins from three matches means India have qualified for the Super Eight stage with relative ease. It hasn’t been an easy journey for Rohit Sharma’s side, as they struggled in thrilling, low-scoring matches against both Pakistan and USA in New York. However, the world’s top-ranked T20I team can look forward to facing different challenges ahead as the tournament progresses.
United States (5 points | 0.127 NRR)
Eligible | It’s been a remarkable story for the USA so far. An opening win over Canada and an impressive victory over Pakistan put the co-hosts in a fantastic position to qualify for the Super Eights, and a loss to Ireland in Lauderhill sealed their place at the Super Eight stage. It’s hard to underestimate how incredible an achievement this is for a team ranked 17th in the world with little major tournament experience.
Pakistan (2 points | 0.191 NRR)
Exclusion | For every close match or unexpected winner, there is a loser who faces the consequences. That is Pakistan’s reality in this tournament. After two opening losses, the Asian powerhouse fought back with a win over Canada but needed help from other teams and the weather, which it didn’t get. With the USA eliminated against Ireland, Pakistan cannot surpass them even if they beat Ireland on Sunday in Florida.
Canada (2 points | –0.493 NRR)
Exclusion After losing their opening match of the tournament to the United States, Canada bounced back with a 12-run win over Ireland. But Tuesday’s loss to Pakistan and results in other matches mean they will miss out on a place in the Super Eight stage, even if they can surprise the world’s top-ranked T20I team in their final group game.
Ireland (1 point | –1.712 NRR)
Exclusion Ireland’s fate seemed sealed from the moment they lost their second group game to Canada in New York following their elimination by the USA in Lauderhill. Sunday’s final match against Pakistan offers a chance to take some positives from a tournament that was a huge disappointment for their Super Eight hopes.
