A look at semi-final qualification scenario in WC

England thrashed Netherlands yesterday riding on Ben Stokes' century knock and they solidified their position in order to qualify for Champions Trophy 2025 but yet they won't be competing form World Cup semi-final race anymore. There are 3 teams which have already secured their place in semi-finals that are India, Australia and South Africa. One spot is still up for grabs with Afghanistan, Pakistan and New Zealand still in contention for the fourth spot. Among the three teams, New Zealand has the best net run rate (0.398), but their recent performance which came as four straight losses is the poorest. In Bengaluru, where they will play Sri Lanka on Thursday, they suffered their most recent setback at the hands of Pakistan.
