Was hesitant to comment on your earlier post .But this certainly feels like enough

The run rate is almost identical

Any idea how many overs West Indies would need to get the runs off for us to not qualify?

They just need to win.

No, what I mean is if we lose we still qualify in second place, unless our NRR takes a big hit

No, between us and South Africa

If West Indies win then all 3 teams have 4 points. West Indies would almost certainly have the best NRR, then it would be between England and South Africa for second, I was wondering how many overs West Indies would have to win by for our NRR to fall below that of S Africa

 

[trueblue1972]

Yeh I meant a straight win between the two sides

14 12 10

They are getting 2 less every over!

They think SA have qualified and that it’s a shootout between these two.

I’m not sure how as if it’s really tight, surely both teams would have a higher net run rate than SA.

No, what I am trying to work out is what would have to happen for England not to finish at least second
