Group A continues to go according to plan as Australia ease past Canada. All that remains is for the final group placings to be determined. Much is at stake, as the first two group finishers should miss India and South Africa in the quarter finals. Australia and Sri Lanka are favoured to take the top two spots, but Pakistan and New Zealand are capable of pushing their way past.
In Group B, much hinges on the result of the England-West Indies match. Given England's patchy form, anything is possible, but the West Indies will favour their chances, especially with all of Bangladesh willing them on. A loss to England would possibly see the West Indies facing Australia in a quarter final, so they have plenty to play for as well, although Sri Lanka will not necessarily be any easier.
My predictions for the post-group stages can be seen here.
