England - Scotland was ‘no result’ so technically a tie with 1 point apiece
Do they not replay that game?
reply
There is no time to replay

Interesting. How does it impact the group standings? What happens if there is a tie between those two teams to get into the next round but they have no result in that game to judge tiebreaker from?
reply
Actually, for this reason we have a super over. It works like a tiebreaker.
reply
Technically it's no result.
A tie game happens when two teams are at the same score after completing both innings.

You are absolutely right. What about my concern??
If a game was so close that it ended in a draw, then I think the chance should remain in the pool
reply
No, it shouldn't be to be really honest.
Even 1 run can win or lose you a match so it cannot get any closer than that.
reply
First of all, there's no game in T20 that ends in a draw. We always get a 'result' or 'no result'.
Also, the rules for the pool have been decided prior to the world cup. If a match gets to a result anyhow, that result will always be counted for the pool.
Team winning in innings or in super over, a win is a win and a loss is a loss, so there's no point of discussing it.

You can agree or disagree with my point. but what the hell,
"a win is a win and a loss is a loss, so there is no point of discussing it."
We are here for discussion and learning something on SN.

No one was eliminated in this game. But in the game I am talking about, many were eliminated in a close game
reply
That's the whole point of prediction, one wins and the other loses, doesn't matter the margin close or long.
