The points table now looks like this, before Sunday's final round of group fixtures:

Code: 
|-------------|--------|-----|------|------|-----|--------|--------|
| Team        | Played | Won | Lost | Tied | N/R | Points | Net RR |
|-------------|--------|-----|------|------|-----|--------|--------|
| Warriors    |      9 |   6 |    2 |    0 |   1 |     29 | +1.094 |
| Titans      |      9 |   6 |    2 |    0 |   1 |     29 | +0.958 |
| Cape Cobras |      9 |   3 |    3 |    0 |   3 |     19 | +0.248 |
| Lions       |      9 |   4 |    5 |    0 |   0 |     16 | -0.769 |
| Dolphins    |      9 |   3 |    5 |    0 |   1 |     15 | -0.367 |
| Knights     |      9 |   2 |    7 |    0 |   0 |      9 | -0.956 |
|-------------|--------|-----|------|------|-----|--------|--------|

This is how Sunday's fixtures will affect who goes through to the qualifier and final:

Warriors vs Titans

Both teams are currently joint log leaders, and the other four teams are nowhere close. As such, whoever wins is guaranteed to go straight to the final (and be the host of it), while the loser will have home-ground advantage in the qualifier.

If the match is declared no result, Warriors will top the log. Both teams would end an equal number of wins (the first tiebreaker criteria), so Warriors' victory over the Titans on December 2nd will break the tie.

Cape Cobras vs Lions

This will be a shootout for who plays the loser of the Warriors vs Titans game in the qualifier; effectively, this fixture will be a quarter-final.

If Cape Cobras win, or the match is declared no result, Cape Cobras will go through. If the Lions win, they go through.

Dolphins vs Knights

Neither team remains in contention. While the Dolphins can finish equal third with the Lions if a) the Dolphins win with a bonus point and the b) Lions win without a bonus point, the Lions will still go through ahead of the Dolphins in this scenario, as they will finish on 5 wins to the Dolphins' 4.

This match will therefore be of academic interest only.

Well played Colin Ingram. Didn't realise he was a leggie as well... Bolter for the T20 squad against Sri Lanka perhaps?
