Remaining spot from Pool A

[DaveW]

With England's loss to Australia today it leaves three teams in the hunt for the remaining super six spot from Pool A - England, Pakistan and Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe are through if they can taken any points from the match, be it a win, tie or no result. A regulation win by Pakistan will see England progess to the next stage. But there is an outside chance Pakistan can make the super six - if they can give Zimbabwe an absolute hiding.

Some interesting scenarios are tossed up in:

It would be fun watching Pakistan trying to chase 101 in 10.5 overs!

If Pakistan do try to chase a score of about 200 in 12 or 14 overs, that significantly increases Zimbabwe's chances of winning the game and qualifying for the super six. Will be very interesting indeed.

It's out of England and Zimbabwe for me.

Looks like Pakistan will probably miss out, but of those scenarios they would be favoured by batting first and making 300+

Pakistan are in a pretty hopeless situation

England better hope that the bookies don't call the shots in this one

i like the scenario of Zimbabwe batting first and scoring 150. Then Pakistan have to win in 12.1 overs. That scenario would still make it possible for:
- Pakistan to get the runs within 12.1 overs and qualify
- Pakistan to get the runs after 12.1 overs and England qualifies
- Pakistan to get bowled out and Zimbabwe qualify

I'm excited
