Srinagar: Hello and Welcome Reader, Welcome To JK Student Update. In this article, I, Danish Ahmad, will discuss how Pakistan can still qualify for the World Cup 2023’s semifinals after their stunning win over New Zealand.
In a thrilling encounter, Pakistan managed to secure a surprising victory over New Zealand after rain disruptions. The match took an unexpected turn, with Pakistan’s revised target set at 342 runs in 41 overs. Despite the challenges, Pakistan prevailed, and in this article, we’ll explore the possible scenarios for Pakistan to make it to the World Cup 2023’s semifinals.
Pakistan’s Semifinal Qualification Scenario
To secure a spot in the World Cup 2023’s semifinals, Pakistan faces a challenging path. They must defeat England in their final league match. This victory would elevate Pakistan to 10 points, potentially surpassing New Zealand if they remain on 8 points after their own match.
Net Run Rate’s Crucial Role
The situation intensifies because both Pakistan and New Zealand could finish with 10 points each if they win their remaining matches. In this scenario, the semifinal berth would be decided on net run rate. Currently, Pakistan lags behind New Zealand in this metric, making it crucial for Pakistan to achieve a significant win against England to improve their standing.
Australia’s Matches and Pakistan’s Hopes
Pakistan’s path to the semis could also be cleared if Australia faces defeat in their remaining matches against England, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. Such outcomes would keep Australia at eight points, allowing Pakistan to surpass them with 10 points. Additionally, Pakistan would hope for an Afghan loss to South Africa to prevent any rivals from exceeding the 10-point mark.
Closing Remarks
In the thrilling Pakistan versus New Zealand match, Fakhar Zaman’s remarkable century and Babar Azam’s valuable contributions led Pakistan to victory. New Zealand had set a monumental target, but Pakistan’s determination and excellent performance secured the win.
In conclusion, while Pakistan’s path to the World Cup 2023’s semifinals is challenging, it is still possible through a combination of victories and favorable results in other matches. Fans of Pakistan cricket will be eagerly watching their journey in the remaining matches of the tournament.
