Canada Global(Web News) After the defeat by India in Takre on October 14, the performance of the national team in the World Cup has sunk so much that now the situation is that the team’s journey to the semi-finals will once again be defeated by other teams. Or depending on the win.
After Pakistan’s defeat by Afghanistan, if you look at the World Cup group stage points table, India is first, New Zealand is second, South Africa is third and Australia is fourth, while Pakistan is fifth despite the defeat. After the victory, Afghanistan has moved to the sixth position. It should be clear that the top 4 teams at the end of the group stage will qualify for the semi-finals. But now the question is whether the Pakistani team has any way to reach the semi-finals or not. ?
Therefore, Pakistan can still reach the semi-finals, but for that, Pakistan cannot afford to lose more matches. Pakistan’s first match in the remaining 4 matches is South Africa on October 26, Bangladesh on October 31, New Zealand on November 4. And it will be from England on November 11. Pakistan will have 12 points in the group stage.
The first scenario is simple if Pakistan wins their remaining four matches with a good run rate and Australia loses 2 of their remaining 5 matches then Pakistan will have 12 points followed by Australia with 10 points. Pakistan will easily reach the semi-finals.
What will happen if Pakistan loses one or more matches?
If Pakistan now loses any of the next four matches, the defeat will reduce Pakistan’s chances of reaching the semi-finals as the points will increase after England and Bangladesh wins against Pakistan. If they lose more than one of the next matches, all the chances of reaching the semi-finals will be closed. There are other chances for Pakistan to reach the semi-finals in this tournament, but none of them are without risk.
