They lost as many as 14 matches, won 7 and three matches ended without a result. New Zealand, India, England, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Australia and Afghanistan are the seven teams who have already secured their spot in this year’s mega event.

After the ouster of Sri Lanka from the direct qualification race, West Indies, South Africa and Ireland are the three teams looking to clinch a ticket for direct entry in the 10-team ICC World Cup 2023.

South Africa will qualify if they play their two ODI matches against Netherlands on Friday and Sunday and then hope Ireland to lose one of their three ODIs against Bangladesh at home in May. IPL-bound South Africa players have not yet arrived in India for the all-important two ODIs against Netherlands.

Sri Lanka will be playing an ODI World Qualifier for the first time in 44 years. A 10-team competition will be held from June 18 in Zimbabwe and the top two teams will take the final two spots in the ICC World Cup 2023.

Bottom five teams of the CWC Super League: The Netherlands, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka and either two of West Indies, South Africa, and Ireland
