The India vs Pakistan match is now done and dusted. India have already booked their qualification, and so have the West Indies after their easy triumph over Nepal earlier on Sunday. Now, six more teams remain to confirm their berth to complete the Super 8s. On Monday, there are a few teams who can advance to the next stage if they win today.
The morning game is between Afghanistan and the UAE, who both have an outside chance to qualify. Afghanistan would be hurting after their double Super Over loss to South Africa. They are still eyeing their first win and a battle with the UAE would be interesting at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Meanwhile, England will face another European team in the form of Italy, who eye a major upset. If England lose, they will be more or less eliminated.
