This is the current standings of the World Cup Qualifier. Oman, Singapore and Malaysia are already out of the tournament. If UAE wins their last match against Oman they will reach the world cup without the result of any other matches here. UAE is strong enough to do that. If UAE loses against Oman, then the match of Nepal Vs. Kuwait will decide the team to be selected for world cup. If Nepal wins, then the run rate of Nepal is high so they will march toward world cup while if Kuwait wins, either UAE or Kuwait will be selected depending on the run rate. Mathematically, UAE, Nepal and Kuwait all have chances to go to the world cup. But, pratically UAE is almost there. It will be clear after the tomorrow's match.
