As the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup goes on, Pakistan faces a tricky situation with just two wins in six games.
Their path to the semi-finals isn’t clear-cut, and several possibilities are at play. They have three more matches, and if they win all of them, it opens up different scenarios.
- If New Zealand loses all their remaining matches, and Pakistan wins all three, Pakistan would have 10 points, and New Zealand would have 8. India, South Africa, Australia, and Pakistan would likely qualify.
- If New Zealand loses two matches and wins one, while Pakistan wins all three, both teams would have 10 points. The Net Run Rate (NRR) would decide the qualifier.
- If Australia loses all remaining matches, and Pakistan wins all three, Australia would have 8 points, and Pakistan would have 10. India, South Africa, New Zealand, and Pakistan might qualify.
- If Australia wins one and loses two, and Pakistan wins all three, both teams would have 10 points, and NRR would decide.
- If South Africa loses all remaining matches and Pakistan wins all, both would have 10 points, and NRR would decide.
- If India loses all their remaining matches and Pakistan wins all, both would have 10 points, and NRR would decide.
With Pakistan’s World Cup hopes uncertain, fans are closely watching these scenarios. Every upcoming match is crucial, and NRR might ultimately determine Pakistan’s fate in this year’s World Cup.
