While New Zealand look set for a semi-final berth from Group 1, the other spot is a toss-up between Australia and England. However, Jos Buttler and Co. are in pole position to seal a semi-final spot due to their superior net run-rate.
Curran, who has been a top performer with the ball, hopes for Afghanistan to clear the path for them. The Surrey player also stated that the match against Sri Lanka feels like a quarter-final.
As quoted by The Guardian, he said:
England beat New Zealand on Tuesday by 20 runs in Brisbane to storm into contention. Their hopes received a big boost after an unlikely loss to Ireland in a rain-affected encounter.

The former Chennai Super Kings all-rounder revealed he was enjoying the high-pressure tournament and credited Buttler and vice-captain Moeen Ali for guiding him.
Curran added:
In three matches, the youngster has picked up nine wickets at 7.44 with a magnificent economy rate of 6.28.
