This could be interesting!
Surely the bottom 2 of those last 4 will be Bangladesh & ZImbabwe. I wonder if the bottom 2/3 teams of the first 8-ranked are prepared to face such a format where they may have to deal with the risk of being left out and making room for ZIM/BD to enter the first 8 to play the Champ Trophy!
I would say it will be an acceptable & exciting challenge (for BD)!
