Kenya and Ireland were two Associate nations (without Test status) that gained direct entry to World Cups without going through qualifying rounds at certain points. Kenya's strong performance in 2003 (semifinalists) and Ireland's victories in 2007 and 2011 led to special considerations, though the question's framing about privileges has historical accuracy issues.

NRR = (Runs scored per over - Runs conceded per over). Team B scored 120 in 12 overs = 10 runs per over. They conceded 200 in 20 overs = 10 runs per over. NRR = 10 - 10 = 0, but wait - Team B was all out in 12 overs, so they are treated as if they played their full 20 overs. 120/20 = 6, 200/20 = 10, NRR = 6 - 10 = -4. This is the correct calculation method.
