World Cup: Who stands where in the race to semifinals

All 10 participating teams have played five matches each, and six wins in nine round-robin matches can be considered safe, while seven wins likely to guarantee a place in the knockouts. The closest to that six-win mark are hosts India, who have won all their five matches so far. Among the big teams staring at an early exit, England and Pakistan face must-win situations against India and South Africa, respectively, in their next matches to keep their semifinal hopes alive.
