West Indies enter the Super Six stage of the Cricket World Cup Qualifier with the distinct possibility of not making the cut for the main 50-over event in India.

Hosts Zimbabwe and former champions Sri Lanka are in prime position to clinch the final two qualifying spots for the tournament that will be staged from October 5 to November 19.

But two-time champions the West Indies risk missing the tournament for the first time. With four wins from four group matches, Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka head into the Super Six stage - which begins on Thursday - with four points apiece, carrying over points earned for beating the teams that also advanced from the first round.

Backed by strong batting displays, which included making a national record 408-6 against the USA, Zimbabwe will be confident the runs will continue to flow.
