Bangladesh beat Scotland, Afghanistan plus no result v Australia = 5 points.

England beat Bangladesh, Scotland and Afghanistan = 6 points.

The likely rained off game isn't good for us, but it doesn't make that much difference. The problem will be if Bangladesh then benefit from another rained off game - or if one of ours is rained off. Or if Bangladesh pull off a shock result v someone else (not impossible: Zimbabwe beating South Africa knocked England out in 1999, despite us beating all the minnows).

I don't think we'll go through though. I think we'll lose to one or even both of Bangladesh and Scotland. We're shot to pieces.
