Despite a remarkable victory against Bangladesh, there's disappointing news for the Pakistan team concerning their net run rate.
Even after defeating the Bangladesh Tigers in a one-sided match, Pakistan was unable to benefit significantly from their net run rate. While there was an increase in Pakistan's points, the net run rate remains negative.
Now that Pakistan has secured a place in the World Cup semi-finals after a successful campaign against Bangladesh, the scenarios for qualification have come to light.
Pakistan will be playing matches against New Zealand and England. To make it to the knockout stage, they will need to win all these matches and ensure multiple scenarios work in their favor.
For instance, Pakistan must win all their remaining matches, and New Zealand should lose all their remaining matches, given the eight points in their last six matches.
Furthermore, Pakistan's victory in all the upcoming matches will result in their qualification for the knockout stage with ten points. However, they would need the Black Caps to lose their upcoming three matches for this scenario to become feasible.
