Very generally stated, this result has been bad for us. Ignoring all permutations and combinations, the simple rule is one would want their competitors to lose more than win against other teams. This is particularly true against stronger opponents. Other things remaining the same, this result cancels out our advantage over Ireland. As a matter of fact, as of now, we are behind Ireland on the points table.

On a general note, Ireland is a very dangerous team. I won't be surprised if they beat WI as well. With whatever resource they have, they are a very disciplined side. I still think England will qualify for the knockout stage. One of Bangladesh, WI and Ireland will be the 4th team from this group.
