also, the idea that will auto qualify if we beat WI is likely, but not guaranteed. WI could beat any of the other top 3, and in that case even if we beat WI, we'd be tied with them and it would come down to NRR.

thats why we have to bat first against NED/IRE and do our darnest to score 300 and bowl them out for 150-180, 200 max.
That should make this game more important from our perspective. Though, all the games are important.

if head to Head win gets more priority than NRR in case of a tie in points table, that also makes WI game more important.

Well, nothing better than beating all and heading the table, u dont have to bother for points table anymore.
