So both the groups are quite open at this point, lower ranked teams are quite eager to turn the table and give a strong fight to the top 8 teams for their place in the QFs, especially with teams like England and Pakistan not at their usual best.
What are your prediction for the QFs? Which teams will qualify from the two groups?
It's a bit early to say England and Pakistan won't fight back, but I wouldn't be unhappy if the teams that are topping the tables right now go through. Of course I'd like South Africa to finish higher than fourth though.
Well at this point it is hard to tell but it looks very tough for Pakistan at this point especially if they lose to Ireland. I want England to drop out in the group stages and so I hope Bangladesh defeats them when they meet.

Your hatred for England is really strong, huh? Bangladesh are 2-13 all time against England in ODI's although they have not met since 2011. Sri Lanka could also find themselves on the outside looking in, especially if they were to lose to Bangladesh today. In theory, it is possible that Bangladesh finish third in the group and England fourth.

Things looking good for both Windies and Pakistan !

I think the Windies have a pretty good chance of making the quarter-finals. I haven't seen Pakistan in action yet, but based on their results, I think Ireland could still upset them and snatch a quarter-final spot from them.
It looks as though the winner of the Bangladesh/England match will progress in fourth place from the group although it is still possible for Bangladesh to lose to England and beat New Zealand and still advance due to their rain out against Australia.
