Bangladesh v Nepal
Bangladesh can secure qualification with a victory. They are currently 2nd on the log and although their net run rate should see them through they will not want to take chances.
Nepal have been eliminated after 2 defeats and 1 no result. They gave South Africa a massive scare in their last game losing by just 1 run.

Bangladesh 1/5
Nepal 7/2
Suggested Bet: Top Bangladesh Bowler Rishad Hossain at 47/20
He picked up 3 wickets in his last match and is a bowler batsman try and go after giving him opportunities for wickets.
Sri Lanka v Netherlands
Sri Lanka have been eliminated while Netherlands can mathematically progress at the time of writing but will be knocked out if Bangladesh beat Nepal.
Sril Lanka lost narrowly to South Africa and Bangladesh and when their game against Nepal was abandoned their chances were gone.
The Netherlands beat Nepal, lost narrowly to South Africa and were well beaten by Bangladesh in their last outing going down by 25 runs.

Sri Lanka 1/3
Netherlands 5/2
Suggested Bet: Netherlands win at 5/2
Of the 2 sides I expect Netherland to be in the better frame of mind and they can beat a Sri Lankan team that will be disappointed to have already been eliminated.
New Zealand v Papua New Guinea
New Zealand have been eliminated after going down by 84 runs to Afghanistan and 13 runs to the West Indies before beating Uganda by 9 wickets.
Papua New Guinea have lost aa 3 games and will have already booked their flights home. They pushed Uganda hard in a low scoring game and also gave the West Indies some worrying moments but were well beaten by Afghanistan.

New Zealand 1/50
Papua New Guinea 25/2
Suggested Bet: Top New Zealand Bowler Trent Boult at 37/20
I think he will be too sharp for the PNG top order who have struggled all tournament.
TUESDAY
West Indies v Afghanistan
These sides have both qualified and both have 100% records.
The West Indies hammered Uganda and had fairly comfortable wins over PNG and New Zealand where they defended 149/9 and won by 13 runs.
Afghanistan have won all 3 of their games by decent margins.

West Indies 5/10
Afghanistan 17/10
Suggested Bet: Afghanistan win at 17/10
The West Indies are at home and have a superior run rate but Afghanistan have looked the better team to me. The price looks too big.
