No one has secured a semi-final in the World Cup yet. Except Bangladesh, all others have chances for semi-finals. Pakistan is now at the fifth position in the points table. Pakistan has won three out of seven matches and has six points. Two more matches are left for Pakistan. Pakistan have two options to advance to the semi-finals.
The first is to win all the matches and maintain a high net run rate. Pakistan will get 10 points if they win all the games. Pakistan can advance to semi-finals with the help of high net run rate.
The second possibility is to win a match and maintain a high netturnrate. If Pakistan progress in this way, they will have to rely on the results of others to make it to the semi-finals. According to these odds, New Zealand and Australia should lose all the remaining matches. Afghanistan must lose at least two out of three matches. The figures indicate that Pakistan’s doors to the semi-finals are not closed.
Meanwhile, India, who are unbeaten in the World Cup so far, are almost certain to advance to the semi-finals. India can advance to the semi-finals if they win one of the remaining three matches. India ranks second in net run rate among World Cup teams. This is also in favor of India.
