We only have one match left..EngSo we win both matches. Then what?

Why convincingly? To end second we just have to beat themBoth? We only have England left... and we have to win it. Convincingly.
And Sri Lanka beat us... If we end up 2nd/3rd on the same points as them then we're out.Why convincingly? To end second we just have to beat them
We have a chance to get rid of the choker tag if we win the tournament.
No comprendoAnd Sri Lanka beat us... If we end up 2nd/3rd on the same points as them then we're out.

for 1st spotNope we just have to beat England then we're through. If NZ beats Netherlands, then the NZ/SL match becomes a knockout between the two of them.
We are ****. Fortunately I'm a Stormers supporter so used to losing and constant disappointment.
The way I see it there's only 3 possible outcomes. NNR not applicable in any of these scenarios for SA to be out of the tournament
1. We lose against Eng - SA OUT
2. We beat Eng, end 2nd with SL 1st (If SL win against NZ)
3. We beat Eng, end 2nd with NZ 1st (if NZ win against SL)
That's not totally true
If SA loses to England (a close game), then we still have a chance on NRR if NZ beat Netherlands, Netherlands beat ENG and SL beat NZ convincingly, because in that case SR will be on 6 points and SA, NZ and ENG will all be on 4 points.
Thats too much relying on luck we need to win Eng,period.
