‘There is only one way for Pakistan to enter the semi-finals’: Wasim Akram sarcastically
New Zealand easily won the crucial match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka on November 9. New Zealand won the toss and sent Sri Lanka into bat. Sri Lanka collapsed in Chinnaswamy for 171 runs in 46.4 overs. In reply, New Zealand overcame the target with the loss of five wickets in 23.2 overs.
With this, Pakistan is almost eliminated from the 2023 semi-finals and New Zealand is in the top four. Although there was a report that there would be rain in the match on November 9, Pakistan were very disappointed with the verdict in favor of New Zealand.
Former Pakistan player and coach Wasim Akram has joked that Babar Azam and his team can only qualify for the semi-finals if the England team is locked in the dressing room.
“Against England, Pakistan will have to bat first and score runs. Then lock the England team in the dressing room and time them all out,’ he told ASports.
Looking at Pakistan’s prospects at present, Babar and his team have a sea to swim once morest England in the upcoming match.
If they win the toss and bat first, Pakistan can qualify for the semi-finals only if they win by at least 287 runs. Or if they get bowling, they have to beat the target set by England in 2.3 overs. Between hell and sea, Pakistan’s chances of making it to the semi-finals are very slim.
Pakistan is fifth in the points table with four wins from eight matches. New Zealand are fourth with five wins from nine matches.
