Prediction:

Bangladesh and Sri Lanka should cruise through the qualifications round and make it to the playoffs in all likelihood. Talking about the other two teams, Oman being the host and Ireland can make it to the Super 12.

There’s a slight chance of either Ireland beating Sri Lanka in the ICC T20 World Cup Qualification Round and going ahead of the Super 12. Thus, the ICC T20 World Cup Qualification Round is going to be worth watching.
