Despite just two matches remaining, only two teams are guaranteed a spot in the semi-finals so far -- table-toppers Australia and South Africa.

The simplest equation for India is to beat South Africa in their final game. A win will take India to eight points and put them above current third-placed West Indies who have seven points.

Currently, England have a slightly better net run-rate than India but things could change depending on the margin of their respective wins.

If  India lose, they can still qualify for the semi-finals but will then have to look to Bangladesh do to them a huge favour by beating England.

But an England loss still doesn't guarantee India a place in the semis. It will once again depend on the margin of defeats for both teams with net run-rate coming into play.

Another scenario that could ensure India reach the semi-finals is if the match ends in a no result  due to rain, both India and South Africa will get a point each.

That will take India's tally to 7 points- the same as the West Indies. But India have a far better net run-rate than the Caribbean outfit, which will mean that India will be ahead of the West Indie.
