Pakistan - Pakistan have one match left against Ireland. A win will send them through to the quarter-finals. A loss though, will bring NRR into play and they will be fighting with West Indies. (Assuming the West Indies beats UAE in their final game)
Ireland - Ireland have six points and two matches still to go - against India and Pakistan. They have to win only one of those games. As Ireland have the worst NRR (-0.820), losses in both these games will, in all likelihood, send them out of the World Cup because of their inferior NRR. (Assuming that West Indies will beat UAE)
West Indies - West Indies are completely dependent on other results to qualify. They will have to beat UAE to begin with and preferably by a huge margin. If Ireland beat India and Pakistan then it will come down to NRR between West Indies and Pakistan. If Pakistan beat Ireland in their last game, it will knock West Indies out. But If Ireland lose both their remaining games, West Indies will in all likelihood qualify ahead of Ireland on account of their superior NRR.
