India are the tournament pacesetters while Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Netherlands can remain most hopeful of making a late push for a semi-final spot at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023.
Tournament hosts India are joined by South Africa, New Zealand and Australia in the critical top-four spots on the current Cricket World Cup standings. But all 10 teams are still just about in the hunt to claim a place in the knockout stages, with no team yet to be mathematically eliminated – even defending champions England.
Here is the state of play following India's win over England on 29 October:
Bangladesh
The Asian side made a great start to the 2023 World Cup with a commanding victory against Afghanistan, but subsequent losses to England, New Zealand, India, South Africa and now the Netherlands have seen their semi-final hopes all but extinguished.
That 87-run loss to the Dutch realistically ended any lingering chance of sneaking into the knockout stage of the event.
Still to play: Pakistan (31 October), Sri Lanka (6 November), Australia (11 November)
India
The hosts are in the driver's seat to secure a crucial top-four finish after starting their campaign with six comprehensive victories.
The tournament pacesetters won each of their first five matches while batting second with captain Rohit Sharma and chase master Virat Kohli leading the way, and struggled at times when asked to bat first by England in Lucknow.
But the brilliance of India's bowling attack stood up when needed to make it six wins from six.
Still to play: Sri Lanka (2 November), South Africa (5 November), Netherlands (12 November)
South Africa
South Africa have sent a warning shot across the tournament with four totals above 300 - including more than 400 against Sri Lanka.
The Proteas' one blemish came in a shock 38-run loss to familiar foes Netherlands when they were skittled out for 207 in their first run chase at the Cricket World Cup.
Still to play: New Zealand (1 November), India (5 November), Afghanistan (10 November)
New Zealand
The runners-up at the past two Cricket World Cups are well-placed to secure yet another semi-final berth after thumping defending champions England in their opener then clinching resounding victories over less-fancied opponents.
But tougher tests are to come for New Zealand who showed they could match it with pacesetters India without ever quite taking control of the contest that they ultimately lost by four wickets.
Still to play: South Africa (1 November), Pakistan (4 November), Sri Lanka (9 November)
Australia
The five-time champions have been building momentum as the tournament progresses after starting their campaign with two disappointing losses.
Three convincing wins followed as their batters have found form with at least one strong innings each, while their trio of pacers and spinner Adam Zampa have also made their mark.
Still to play: England (4 November), Afghanistan (7 November), Bangladesh (11 November)
