Afghanistan's fate is out of their hands (CricketEurope/ICC)

Afghanistan's progress to the knock-out stages of World Cricket League Division Five will be decided on Thursday.

The Afghans lie second in Group B and their final group game against hosts Jersey has been rained off.

They are now relying on third-placed Singapore not beating Japan heavily in the final match in the group.

Singapore are two points behind Afghanistan with a game in hand. The Afghans have a +1.63 net run rate compared with Singapore's -0.11.

Meanwhile, Nepal face the USA to decide who will win Group A.

Both sides have a perfect record, with Nepal having the slightly better run rate. The winners will face either the Afghans or Singapore, while the losers will face Group B winners Jersey.

Elsewhere the rest of the Group A sides will play their final matches in Jersey.

If Germany beat Norway they will secure third place in the group. If Norway win, they are almost certain to take third place so long as their run rate is high enough.

Mozambique could still finish third if they beat bottom side Vanuatu heavily and either Norway beat Germany narrowly or there is a draw.
