Afghanistan’s ‌win in Belfast ensured they ‌will ⁠finish among those ⁠teams, joining Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, England and Bangladesh. The West Indies are ranked 10th and cannot make up enough ground to qualify directly despite having two ODIs ⁠against India left to play ‌before the cut-off ‌date.

The 2027 event will be played in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
