Big picture - Semi-final spots up for grabs for both West Indies and South Africa
It isn't actually called a quarter-final, but for West Indies, this game against South Africa could well be one. Win, and they will be through to the T20 World Cup 2024 semi-finals, irrespective of other results. Lose, and then net run-rate comes into play if England lose to USA; West Indies will be out if England beat USA.
South Africa's equation is slightly more nuanced. A win will guarantee them a spot in the last four but they could still get there with a close defeat, and by the time the match is played, they will know exactly what the margins they are working with are.
Pool Stats
I won't disrespect Afghanistan by calling their win over Australia as an upset. Afghanistan are a very-very good team. TBH, your predictions were just totally biased on the fact that Afghanistan don't stand a chance in front of mighty Australians.
However, the decision of picking Australia so unanimously has actually put this pool into a precarious situation. Everyone of you have at least taken a 'DRS' (two wrong predictions) now. So, you can't be wrong to survive in the pool from here.
We've already started the procession of elimination....play wisely...

Important
You can use your maiden overs (miss the prediction) if you're not sure who to pick for three times. So, predict wisely, this is a Survival game.
If you only remain predicting every match, you can't survive till the last. To be a winner, you need to survive till the finals.
All pool stats are only added upto the eighth match of Super 8 which is between Afghanistan and Australia.
Thanks for your love and support!
Best of Luck!!
