South Africa, Australia, and Indian Cricket Team in Contention:
The Indian Cricket Team looks in a good position to qualify. South Africa has a great chance too. Their bowlers can flip the tournament in their favor. They just have to beat or draw the two games that they have pending against Australia. If they do that, India will be forced to win all four test matches against Australia at home. This looks like an uphill task as the Australian team looks in a league of its own. The Australian team is sure of qualification. They are 20% points ahead of the rest and have had a really amazing tournament.
