With the seventh and final round of the ICC Women's One-Day International Championship due to kickstart in November 2016, there is only one team - Australia - that is assured of a spot in the 2017 50-over Cricket World Cup to be held in England. As many as six other teams are vying for the remaining three slots in the all-important top-four of the Championship table that guarantees an automatic qualification for the eight-team megaevent in June-July next year. The rest will move to a 10-team Qualifiying event, slated to be held in Sri Lanka in February 2017 and fight it out to make their way to the main event.
The criteria is simple - four teams, the ones with maximum points at the end of the seven rounds of the two-year championship, progress. In case two teams are tied with same number of points, the one with more outright victories gets the nod. In case there is a tie on the number of wins as well, the team with a better net run-rate advances. In an unlikely scenario of the two teams facing a tie even on the NRR, the one with a better head-to-head result in their respective round make it through.
Here's where the eight teams stand at the moment and what they need to do in the final round to seal a top-four spot:
DISCLAIMER: The India vs Pakistan sixth round series gets awarded to Pakistan with a 3-0 score line (six points). Link
Australia
Points: 30 | Wins: 15 | NRR: +0.994
7th round: v South Africa (Home)
Australia blanked hosts Sri Lanka in October to win the ICC Women's ODI Championship with 30 points. They became the first team to book their ticket to United Kingdom.
England
Points: 23 | Wins: 11 | NRR: +0.763
7th round: v Sri Lanka (Away)
England's slot in the final is almost as good as done. They will need to be blanked by Sri Lanka and have all the other results go against them if they are to be ousted.
If England win at least one of their three remaining games, they will qualify. But in an unlikely scenario of them losing 3-0 to Sri Lanka, there exists a possibility of a tie for the fourth place with South Africa (if South Africa win 3-0 against Australia) provided New Zealand beat Pakistan and West Indies win at least one game against India. In case that happens, the NRR will come into play and if locked on NRR, England will go through by the virtue of their 2-1 win over South Africa.
West Indies
Points: 22 | Wins: 11 | NRR: +0.273
7th round: India (Away)
If West Indies win at least one of their three remaining games against India, they will qualify.
They will be sent to the qualifiers if:
(i) They lose 3-0 to India
(ii) South Africa beat Australia 3-0
(iii) New Zealand beat Pakistan or they win one match in the series and pip West Indies on NRR
New Zealand
Points: 20 | Wins: 10 | NRR: +0.279
7th round: Pakistan (Home)
New Zealand are through if they win their series against Pakistan. If they win only one match, their progress will be reliant on the results of West Indies and South Africa in their respective last rounds.
They can go ahead even if they lose 3-0 to Pakistan if they keep their NRR ahead of the latter and South Africa lose their series to Australia.
South Africa
Points: 17 | Wins: 8 | NRR: -0.149
7th round: Australia (Away)
Primary to South Africa staying in the race is the results of two series going their way. They have to beat Australia 3-0 and have to hope that England lose to Sri Lanka 3-0.
However, South Africa can be out of the contention for a top-four spot even before they start their final round if:
(i) West Indies win at least one of their remaining games
(ii) New Zealand win the series against Pakistan
(iii) England win at least one of their remaining matches
If England lose 3-0 to Sri Lanka and South Africa win all their three games against Australia by big margins, they can beat England on NRR even if the first two scenarios occur.
In case they win 2-1, they will be out of the race if New Zealand win at least one match against Pakistan. They are out if they lose the series to Australia.
However, they start their last round only on November 18 and will have a clear picture of what they need to do to progress.
Pakistan
Points: 14 | Wins: 7 | NRR: -1.030
7th round: New Zealand (Away)
They must win all their remaining matches and make sure their NRR is above New Zealand's (+0.279) to go further. They can still get eliminated despite winning all three matches if South Africa win at least two games against Australia.
India
Points: 13 | Wins: 6 | NRR: +0.008
7th round: West Indies (Home)
Assuming that they forfeit the three ODIs against Pakistan, who get six points and three wins, India will be eliminated even if they win by a 3-0 margin in their last round against West Indies.
Sri Lanka
Points: 5 | Wins: 2 | NRR: -1.339
7th round: England (Home)
Sri Lanka already stand eliminated from the top-four race and have moved to the Qualifiers which, in fact, have been awarded to its capital Colombo.
The other six teams in the Qualifiers are Bangladesh, Ireland, Papua New Guinea, Thailand, Scotland and Zimbabwe. The 10-team event will be staged between February 7-21, 2017.
