The difference between 1 through 5 was not that much (in ranking points). Then there was a big gap before the next bunch at 6, 7, 8. Then another substantial gap and then WI who are tied with Afghanistan currently at 1-1.
Pakistan's scores (albeit rain affected) were 164, 119, 237. That must be one of the lowest aggregate of runs over three matches to make it to a semifinal. SL's catching today was reminiscent of Pakistan's against India.
England are the only unbeaten side.
Bangladesh perhaps got a bit lucky at the expense of Aus and NZ. It could have been one victory each for Aus, NZ and BD if rain had not intervened.
