If Scotland wins against all three . Zimbabwe wins against srilanka but loses against Scotland .while srilanka wins against westindies .there comes a three way tie on 8 points

So basically no matter what the other results are, Zimbabwe v Scotland is a knockout final?

(Assuming WI end up getting rolled again today, which it looks like will happen)

If both Zim beat SL, and Scots beat Zim, and WI beat SL, and Scots beat Ned, then SL end with 6 points while Zim and Scots end with 8. Probably the most entertaining outcome.

Great work figuring out all the permutations pillowprocter.
I guess the easiest way to qualify is to just keep winning! :lol:

Yeah that's the most entertaining outcome, but very unlikely.

Lol, yeah. If Netherlands had beaten SL yesterday, that would have been huge. SL then were basically looking at a must win game tomorrow.
