Despite being placed first in the T20 World Cup 2021 standings, England has a strong chance of reaching the semi-finals. While Australia and South Africa will compete hard to grab the second spot, which would advance them to the semi-finals.
Australia won their recent match against West Indies by 8 wickets and their NRR increased +1.216. If South Africa can restrict England to 131, they will be able to enhance their NRR and seal the spot by getting promoted upon Australia. As of now, SA has NRR +0.742
