This is a minnows studded super 8 and we cant expect frequent upsets like in the group stages where chances of understimation of opposition can contribute to unprecendented results. WI have already played against the most weakest team - Ireland. The future looks bleak for them. Still to come are the mighty South Africans and Srilankans. English too are mighty on their day. Bangladesh produced some magic to beat India and also NZ in the practice matches. Things dont look good for the hosts and they could be the first nation to be out of semifinal race. This all could be clear as early as their match against Srilanka on Sunday. Sorry bidhan40 but thats the reality as of today unless minnows produce some magic to upset some big guns. So the Semifinal race looks like this Certain to feature: Australia and NZ ( both have two matches against minnows and have already won two) Other likely candidates for remaining tow places South Africa - very likely candidate ( have already played dengerous australian and srilanka, and still have bangladesh and Ireland in their hand) Srilanka - Second likeliest candidate. They already have 2 points - but thats for beathing bangladesh and not a big gun. Still to come are Aus, NZ, England and WI and have to beat at leat 2. They have the potential and are very favourite to do that. England - England dont have any points in their bad but they have 2 match against weak nations and they have to upset at least two of the other big guns. Their path is not easy as they have to upset at least two of SF,AUS,Sri and WI Outsider: WI Distant outsider: Bangladesh infinite outsider: Ireland
