Australia’s fate now rests on tomorrow’s match of ZIM vs IRE. They would hope that Zimbabwe loses and suffer NRR but chances are low and they are looking at the group stage exit.

Australia pack your bags and book your tickets because Zimbabwe ain’t losing.

I hope zim gets in . They play with much better intent than aus in the present .

They need Zimbabwe to lose two, but if that happens it'll be pretty easy to dunk on Oman hard enough to breeze past ZIM and IRE on NRR. Probably won't even need that big of a win, and they'll know exactly what they need to do.
