Pakistan Qualification Scenario for semifinal

Pakistan will have to win the remaining matches at any cost. Pakistan's next match is with New Zealand and England. Defending champion England is already out of WC 2023, and by leaving, they would like to put a full stop to Pakistan's qualification as well. Before England, Pakistan will play its match against New Zealand. Like every year, the Kiwis are performing well this year too.

If we look at the current points table, India and South Africa are in the first and second positions, respectively. New Zealand is in third place with eight points, while Australia is in fourth place with eight points. If New Zealand and Australia lose their three remaining matches of the tournament, then in this condition, Afghanistan and Pakistan will qualify for the semi-finals of the World Cup 2023.

Australia's next match is with England, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, while New Zealand's next match is with South Africa, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

Pakistan's qualification for the top four in the Cricket World Cup 2019 is almost over. Only a big miracle can make Pakistan qualify for the top four. If you are a Pakistani supporter, then you will definitely pray for the above scenario to come true.
