How can the Pakistani team reach the semi-finals?
Possibly, if New Zealand manages to defeat Australia today, Pakistan's chances of reaching the semi-finals will brighten.
To reach the semi-finals, Pakistan faces the biggest challenge from the Australian team, which has already won three out of its five matches.
To secure a spot in the next stage, Pakistan needs to win all of its remaining matches but also improve its run rate.
However, if the five-time champion Australian team wins two out of its four remaining matches, the scenario will be decided based on net run rate.
The team with the better run rate between Pakistan and Australia will advance to the next stage.
If Australia wins three out of four matches, both Pakistan and England will be eliminated from the World Cup semi-final race.
