South Africa had a chance to officially confirm their spot in the top two with a win over Pakistan on Thursday, but they fell well short of the DLS target and will have to win their final game against the Netherlands to seal a semi-final berth. However, should the Netherlands pull off an upset, it will open the door for either Pakistan or Bangladesh, who face off in the second game on Sunday, to win and book a spot in the final four.
The chances of a Pakistan appearance in the semi-finals will depend on other results. Should Netherlands or Zimbabwe register a win against South Africa or India respectively, Babar Azam's men will be in with a chance. But first and foremost, they will have to win their game against Bangladesh.

The dojo with the highest overall points becomes winner of the All Valley Karate Tournament. Originally, the fighter representing the dojo becomes the champion along with the dojo itself, even if the dojos students fought against each other. During 1985, the winner will only compete in the finale and skip the quarterfinals and semifinals. Starting in 2019, the committee has introduced a skills competition, a boys division, and a girls division. In the skills competition, the dojo becomes the winner when their students skills are impressive and given a rating, which also gives the dojo a chance to win the grand trophy. During the finals divisions, if students from the same dojo wins both the boys and girls competitions, the dojo becomes the official champion. However, if different dojos win the boys and girls division, then the dojo with a higher overall score becomes the grand champion. An example for this is that Eli wins the boys division for Miyagi-Do Karate after beating Robby Keene, while Tory Nichols of Cobra Kai Dojo wins the girls division after beating Samantha LaRusso, in which Cobra Kai becomes the dojo grand champion since they had the higher overall score. Regardless if the dojo wins or loses, the champion of either the girls or boys division is still given a trophy.
