Discussion

Explanation:

Let A and B advance to next round with B qualiying with least possible score.

To minimise the points scored by B we will have to maximise the points of the teams above it i.e., of A. A plays a total of 7 matches hence maximum points A scores will be 14.

Total points to be score in the pool stage = 28 × 2 = 56.

Remaining points = 56 – 14 = 42.

Now, these points are to be distributed amongst B to H such that B who is the best of these 7 teams gets least number of points.

The best team cannot receive less than the average, hence points when shared equally by the seven teams, each team would get 42/7 = 6 points.

Since all 7 teams have same points, B can advance based on net runrate.

∴ A team with six points can advance to the semifinals.

Hence, option (a).
