On the other hand, England's team has already been out and South Africa's team is at number one with 3 points in 2 matches and +2.140 with a net run rate. That is, to go to the semi -finals, it is necessary for the team of Afghanistan to win. Only then will she be able to overtake Australia and South Africa with 4 points.
