T20 World Cup - Other Matches

So looking at the table, one more win and we're through it seems
Australia have a shootout with England (and technically Ireland) to get NRR up to a level they qualify second.

What's the format? I'm too lazy to look it up.
6 teams in a pool. 5 matches each. Top 2 go through based on win/loss and then NRR.
Cheers. So straight to semis. I like that.
Crossover? -

Soooo, we should throw the match against England and back ourselves to beat Ireland - that way we kick the Aussies out of the tournament, and we will get SA instead of India in the semi.
Then we get a chance for redemption against the Poms in the final...
Easy.............

It's not the Kiwi way. Besides, knowing our luck it would backfire on us

Correct, the BC way is to have a meltdown and lose anyway. I like the idea of it coming before the final.

It is too good at the moment

Crunched some quick numbers earlier.
And at worst, with the exception of Ireland and Afganistan both winning both their matches (and we lose to England), NZ will be 2nd equal in the pool and it will come down to NRR to determine if NZ advance.
BTW if AFG and IRE do win both they go to 6 and 7 points (or maybe 7 and 6 can't remeber). We stay on 5 (if we lose to ENG). Probably reasonable odds available on that.
