This is what floating around - Australia is sure for Semi-final as it has got 24 points. What about India? Just by winning the match against Kenya it can enter in the semi-final.
It seems that chances for group A team are more as they have week oponent like Kenya on other side and so they will be in semis. The other team to enter in semis is Sri Lanka.

Here are points!
Australia: 12
India: 8
Zimbabve: 3.5
Kenya: 10
Sri Lanka: 7.5
New Zeland: 4
So it will be tough for New Zealand to qualify for semi-final as they have to win to games to cross Kenya and Australia- which is very difficult.
Another team that can be out will be Zim, as they can only win aganist Kenya. They also need to win one more game.
Earlier I predicted Super Six teams in Group A (pretty close) and Group B (correctly).
My predictions for Super Six:
Aus - 12 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 24 (bt Kenya, SL and Kiwis)
Ind - 10 + 0 + 4 + 4 = 18 (lost to Kiwis, bt Kenya and SL)
Kiwis - 4.0 + 0 + 4 + 4 = 12 (lost to Aus, bt India and Zim)
Sri Lanka - 7.5 + 4 = 11.5 (lost to India/Aus but bt Zim)
Zim - 3.5 + 4 + 0 + 0 = 7.5 (bt Kenya but lost to SL,Kiwis)
Ken - 10 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 10 (lost to Aus, India, Zim)
Semis :
Aus vs SL
Ind vs Kiwis
If there is rain during any of Kenya's match and match is tie, chances of Kenya will increase at it will beat in points both Sri Lanka and Kiwis!!!

Reserve days will be available for all Super Six and semi-final games, while the final has been allocated two reserve days, as a contingency against prolonged bad weather.

Anyway, now Kenya is in semi-final 
So what?
Another thing - Can Sri Lanka beat Australia in semi-final?

Kenya has shown that they're no pushovers....they even gave Australia a brief scare. Plus, to recover from a hat-trick to post a total of 175 against the Aussies was no small feat. India better not be complacent playing them.
I think, on a good day, Sri Lanka can beat Aus. Lankans are dangerous if they fire, as they showed in the ICC cup in Sri Lanka by beating the Aussies out of contention.
But the way the Aussies are playing, chances of that happening are remote.
I think there's about an 80% probablity of an India - Aus. final.
