points table

India: With an impeccable record of seven wins in seven matches, India stands firmly at the top of the points table. Their undefeated run and a commanding net run rate of 2.120 make them the team to beat in this tournament. The Indian team has displayed a perfect blend of batting, bowling, and fielding, making them strong contenders for the World Cup title.

South Africa: South Africa is the closest challenger to India, with six wins out of seven matches. Their only loss came at the hands of India, which underscores the Indian team’s dominance. However, South Africa’s impressive net run rate of 2.290 keeps them firmly in the second position and well within reach of the top spot.

Australia: Australia has secured the third position in the standings with four wins and two losses in their six matches. Although their net run rate of 0.970 is not as high as India and South Africa’s, Australia remains a formidable team with a rich World Cup history.

New Zealand: New Zealand is tied with Australia in terms of points, with four wins and three losses. Their net run rate of 0.484 places them in fourth place. The Kiwis have shown their ability to compete with the best, and their position in the middle of the table suggests they are in contention for a semi-final berth.

Pakistan: Pakistan, with three wins and four losses, is in fifth place on the points table. Their negative net run rate of -0.024 indicates the need for more convincing victories in the remaining matches to improve their position.

Afghanistan: Afghanistan, with a similar record to Pakistan, finds itself in the sixth position. They have shown moments of brilliance, but consistency will be the key if they want to progress to the knockout stages.

Sri Lanka: Sri Lanka, after their victory against India, has climbed to the seventh position with two wins in seven matches. While their overall performance in the tournament has been mixed, the win against India could serve as a turning point for their campaign.

Netherlands: Netherlands, in eighth place, has managed two wins from six matches. Their negative net run rate of -1.277 indicates that they need substantial victories to improve their position in the standings.

Bangladesh: Bangladesh, with just one win from seven matches, is in the ninth position. Their hope for the semifinal is lost, as their net run rate of -1.446 is one of the lowest in the tournament.

England: England, the defending champions, find themselves at the bottom of the table with just one win from six matches. Their net run rate of -1.652 has been a significant concern, and they are already out of this tournament.
