Cricket World Cup permutations: What do England need to qualify after nightmare tournament?

Sri Lanka are having a similarly dank time of it, kept off the bottom of the table only by England’s and Bangladesh’s dreadful net-run-rates, though at least with some genuine misfortune to blame, having seen their bowling attack depleted by injury, including the loss of their best spinner, Wanindu Hasaranga, and best seamer, Dushmantha Chameera, before the tournament had even begun. Even so, with England’s fear factor gone, they will fancy a scalp.
