In the ICC ODI World Cup, Pakistan’s journey in the tournament has come to an end. New Zealand secured the fourth spot in the semi-finals with a convincing victory over Sri Lanka on Thursday.
The upcoming semi-final matches will be India vs New Zealand and Australia vs South Africa. However, there is still a twist in the tale. While Pakistan has been eliminated from the tournament, Afghanistan is still in contention and has opted to bat first against South Africa today. Consequently, the semi-final matchups have been set, bringing an interesting dynamic to the competition.
India (16 points), South Africa (12), and Australia (12) have solidified their spots in the semi-finals of the tournament. New Zealand is almost assured of the fourth spot. Pakistan and Afghanistan both have 8 points each, and they can reach the same level as New Zealand (10 points) by winning their final league match.
However, it is not feasible for either Pakistan or Afghanistan to surpass New Zealand based on net run rate. Currently, New Zealand holds the lead with a net run rate of 0.743. Therefore, Pakistan’s chances of making it to the semi-finals are dependent on winning their last match and hoping for other favorable outcomes in the tournament standings.
