Zimbabwe, Netherlands, and West Indies are qualified from Group A to the Super Sixes while Sri Lanka, Scotland, and Oman qualified from Group B. As far as the Super Sixes points table is concerned, points from League games against the qualified teams are carried forward to this round.
West Indies lost to both Zimbabwe and Netherlands in the Group Stage and currently only 0 points to show against their name in the Super Sixes points table. Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe are at the top with 4 points each and both have the biggest advantage to advance to the Final and qualify for the World Cup.
In Super Sixes, each team will play three matches against the teams qualified from the opposite group. And the two teams at the end of the Super Sixes round will move to the Finals and will eventually be qualified for the ODI World Cup 2023 tournament.
How things are poised at the moment, West Indies need to win all their 3 games in the Super Sixes round and will hope that no more a team will beat them with respect to points earned in this round.
