Pakistan's semi-final chances are tough..!?
Afghanistan now has a good chance of reaching the semi-finals of the ICC World Cup. At the same time, the pakistan team is currently stumbling due to a series of defeats. Each team has to play nine league matches. If you win at least 7 matches and get 14 points, you will definitely get a chance for the semi-finals.
Currently, pakistan has played 5 matches and won only 2 matches. Although they are currently in fifth place with 4 points, the semi-final opportunity has become difficult. Because they must have won at least 7 matches. But the pakistan team has won only in two. That means if pakistan wins all four remaining matches, they can get a maximum of 12 points from six matches. And their run rate is minus 0.40. pakistan will next data-face the mighty South Africa.
Even if pakistan loses a match out of these four, they will have to go home. Meanwhile, afghanistan is sixth in the points table with the same four points. Even if they win their remaining four matches, they will have 12 points. And even if they get a favorable result, afghanistan can make it to the semi-finals. But the afghanistan team has to data-face teams like Sri Lanka, netherlands, australia and South Africa. Although afghanistan beat the netherlands in this, it will be difficult to win the other three matches. However, in cricket, miracles happen that we cannot imagine. If that happens, we can see afghanistan in the semi-finals.
