Defeats for South Africa and West Indies in their most recent games and India’s comprehensive victory against Bangladesh means there are three semi-final places up for grabs – Australia have already qualified – with six matches to be played in the league stage. India’s mauling of neighbours Bangladesh has not only lifted their points tally to six, but also propelled their net run rate (NRR) to a healthy 0.768, which is easily the best among all the teams in contention.
